If you can find them in the back issue bins, Pete Milligan's Batman one-issues are just as awesome as their titles suggest they might be ("The Executioner Wore Stiletto Heels" and "The Hungry Grass!"). Also, the Wagner/Grant run is bestest -- definitely more "funny dark" than "tortured dark."

i dunno guys tuomas is saying it in a really annoying way as usual but i think hes right that this is some bullshit dark re-imagineered david fincher joker instead of classic funny-yet-crazy joker - do yall also like this? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/62/American_McGee_Alice_box.gif/256px-American_McGee_Alice_box.gif

tuomas would probably like the batman story in mike allred's solo tho.
Also sci-fi closet Morrison? There were really only a couple of good issues though.
I like Year 100 but Tuomas wouldn't.

I dunno, I thought the Nolan movie was quite light-hearted in places. It wasn't dark in a "grim 'n gritty" way.

classic funny-yet-crazy joker
"classic" is subject to debate, as this thread makes rather obvious. which interpretation a reader/viewer priveleges is entirely up to their own prejudices.

I dunno guys we have two photographs and a totally inconsistent narrative spanning nearly a century involving perhaps hundreds of authors, surely we can nail down the probable levels of genuine intent and fitting nuance mr ledger will bring to the role, and what the script will have in it.

I predict Ledger dances a killer Batusi
― Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link
I hope Ledger's Joker tries to out-do Bale's Batman in a contest of BONERS

R. Kelly should do the soundtrack.

Perhaps snorggirl should play the Joker.
― Oilyrags, Wednesday, 23 May 2007 18:19 (seventeen years ago) link
Snorggirl? Is that some superhero?
― Tuomas, Thursday, 24 May 2007 10:12 (seventeen years ago) link
better if it were Snoggirl

Can y'all call him Heath otherwise I get a little taken aback whenever I open the thread.

i just realized while watching it again this weekend that while its not my favorite batman movie i think mask of the phantasm has by far the best batman characterization of any of them

bruce wayne kneeling on his parents grave in the rain begging them to let him not be batman, and you know that hes going to have to anyway, is some tragic shit

family outings were no fun at all. mom and dad were always on the lookout for some evildoers to bust.
The big trip to Disney World was a fiasco.

Year 100! I loved that.
So, I finally got around to seeing Batman: Mask of the Phantasm last night. I'm not sure if it's as great as some have hyped it to me, but it's really more solid than a lot of the 90s Batman films and does some interesting rewriting of the Batman origin story including a romantic interest that's scripted more maturely than other film versions, and it's in a cartoon! The whole thing reminded me how great the Batman animated series was.
