You do know the film is based on one Frank Miller's graphic novels right? It was published in the 1980 IIRC.

Funny I thought you'd be a decent addition to the community at first, first impressions heh..

Edit: Actually I was wrong, the storyline was based on The Long Halloween apparantly. Pusblished in '96. So if you're talking about Metal Gear Solid 4 you're way off, if the MGS series in general.. MGS was published in '98 I think.

I was going to point out the fact that Dark Knight was already ready to hit the theaters when MGS4 was released so yeah, probably the other way around, MGS copy Batman if ANYTHING. but mearly coincidental me thinks.

I never said TDK copied from MGS4 specifically, it stole ideas from the entire 10 years franchise of MGS.


Considering those ideas came from a batman comic that came out before MGS.... by your logic Kojima stole his influnces from batman. (not to mention those ideas had been done to death even before then.) The lines are so similar because Kojima... like many comics based writers... are pretty mediocre writers that fall into easy traps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Halloween aside from that... the themes you mention are what batman has ALWAYS been about. Outside of Adam West era batman.
