This movie was fan fucking tastic. Spoiler heavy review, so skip if you don't wish to be spoiled.
Anyways, the cast was fan fucking tastic. Ledger obviously gets the nod for the best performance, but he also had the best material to work with. The Joker is tough to pull off well, and me thinks that it's going to be impossible for anyone to one up this Joker. It was amazing.
Someone that is going to get over looked, Gary Oldman. Holy shit was Oldman on as Gordan. One of the best performances I've seen. Honestly, without Oldman playing Gordan as well as he did, this movie loses a big chunk of it's story.
Also Kudos to Aaron Eckhart. Man alive he played Harvey Dent superbly. Personally I don't mind Dent becoming Two-Face in this movie. The entire point of this movie was pretty much the "Killing Joke"'s storyline. The Joker is hell bent on breaking even the cleanest and best of people, which he succeeds in doing with Dent. The character really serves no purpose in this Bat Universe. He gets revenge on everyone that had done him wrong, and essentially the character has run his course. However, the argument is going on that no body, no death, it is a comic book film afterall. I like the rumor of only Gordan, Batman, and a select few know that they secretly moved Dent to Arkham so no one will know.
So as far as the future, Batman on the Run. It's going to be amazing. The ending is wide open. With the Joker and Scarecrow still around, you can go in a couple different directions. Personally, I think the Joker should come back, but it's just going to be hard for someone to one up, or be fairly compared to Ledger's Joker. No Johnny Depp, quit being fan boy nerds guys. If Depp is going to be anyone, he can be the Riddler, but not the Joker.
