I'll never dismiss any of Nolan's work on the Dark Knight trilogy, it was immense, but this... I could have happily gone straight back in and watched it again. It completely blew me away.
I made the same mistake with the casting of Pattinson as I did with Ledger as The Joker, expected the worst but loved what I saw. I'll be glued to any follow up/spin off of this and I must have watched the deleted scene a hundred times by now, The Joker has always been my favourite villain by a country mile and Keoghan's version in that five minutes was absolutely perfect.
