On topic, (and I'm I've said this before) other than the Joker's awesome scenes that I could watch all day long, the overall movie was bad, long, boring. The voice of Batman was embarassing,

Actually I like more the ones with Michael Keaton.

Both the new batman movies and this new game is awesome. This game is the restart of batman games like batman begins was a reboot of the movies.. Christian bales voice can be sort of overkill when hes in batman mode but other than that .. both are awesome.

I just wondered: Has Mark Hamill become "the Guy who does the Joker's Voice" yet ? :D

Edit: Opposed to "Luke Skywalker"

Well, I certainly can't consider myself one of the latter, I suppose, if only because it implies that the movies are a source of more mature storytelling - and they aren't. They never have been. Batman Begins has always been in the shadow of Year One in the same way that Dark Knight will continue to be in the shadow of Killing Joke, and I can't think of many graphics novels with better thematic expoundment than the Arkham Asylum novel.

For my money, Paul Dini tends to be Batman's best writer in both comics and in animation - him being the one who wrotes Batman: The Animated Series, which was less concerned with realism than it was with honesty, which I think still makes it the best depiction of the character, bar none. Dini also writes the best Joker, for my money: the Christmas issue from a year or two back stands as my testament to this statement. Joker's conversation with the crew at McDonald's is priceless and genuinely funny.

Paul Dini was a very large part of what made AA work, for me.

AA's biggest advantage, like the aninmated series, is that it never took itself too seriously: it was what it was, and it would try to be excellent within those confines, but it was not going to try to change the definition of the genre. That was my only concern with Dark Knight: somewhere in its attempts to be good, Nolan's movie seemed to forget that its core idea is still very silly, and came across a bit like a child walking around in its parent's shoes. But, that is me.

I think we are generally in agreement on most of these things, save in the ranking of importance and relevance (or, I suppose, quality) we give to these different depictions.

I think for some he probably already has that moniker. I grew up with Star Wars, but particularly in the first Hamil's voice could grate a little.

But as Joker - wow. Could listen to him all day long. What impressed me was listening to his little jokes in the challenge rooms, and realizing that just the voice, with no visual of the Joker, completely conveyed the character nonetheless.

I think Christopher Nolan took Batman to new heights by making those two movies, they are simply the best comic book movies of all time! My only problem with the movies is Christain Bale's voice as Batman which really sucks but other than that, he's awesome. AA is a fantastic game, one of my fav this generation, and that's partly because they took what was great about the movies, all the cool aspects, and moulded it into one fantastic game; things like going on top of gargoyles, the invisible predator, the fantastic combat; all these things were glorified by the movie and replicated in the game.
