    My favorite Batman on any screen was Batman: The Animated Series, which spawned the often overlooked but always awesome film Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. And, of course, Mark Hamill's Joker.
    That’s before my time I think.

    He would be a lot older if this were Frank Miller's Batman/Dark Knight.


    This story is supposedly set during his 2nd year being Batman, so not an origin story, starting just after that, likely with some origin type flashbacks I imagine.

    While I appreciate some humor, I like the darker rake on Batman by far. The Bale movies were the best, and the Joel Schumacher "films" should be burned.
    The Burton/Keaton movies were good, but Keaton is way too old to play Batman in the traditional lead, could be Bruce Wayne in a Batman Beyond type of movie, but that's not what the public would want. Burton meanwhile has turned into a complete hack since he made those films and I shudder to think what ridiculous roles he'd cast Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter in were he to helm a new Batman movie.

    Mark Hamill's Joker is the best Joker.
    I've heard this from you before.  I still haven't watched the animated series in depth.

    I have also heard that the animated Star Wars is fantastic too.

    One day.

    I agree about Hamill’s Joker and the animated series, definitely check it out. When I’ve bought some of the animated movies they usually include some episodes of the series and it still looks good today (even with the black bars on the side of the screen, lol).

    I’ve only watched the Clone Wars series and it had more of the Star Wars feel than the prequel and sequel series of movies. Highly recommended!

    Back to the best “super” hero ever, The Batman, lol!

    If you've ever played Arkham Asylum, you've also heard Mark Hamill's Joker. 

    Also, it's a kick-ass game!

    Arkum Asylum the comic was my introduction to a darker and more sinister Joker, much like Killing Joke.  But Arkum Asylum and the way it was drawn was just amazing to me.

    I like a darker Batman.  No more Burton/Keaton.

    Who is the villain supposed to be, a modern day Riddler?  The notes and riddles would make me guess that.
    Do you mean more realistic? Those Burton movies were really dark for their time...

    In what way wasn't Keaton a dark Batman?

    Has anyone seen it yet? I really liked it, though I disagree with the people saying it was better than Dark Knight

    Saw it Friday Night in IMAX...Thought it was very good. These films themes/characters have been fleshed out over & over, all about the execution, which I thought was done well & the sound & cinematography were very good, especially since its mainly dark. 

    I hope they go with a different villan(s) than the usual go to's for the sequel (s)

    Spoiler

    Based on the ending, it looks like it's another new Joker for the next one
