I agree. I thought that Ledger's performance was a look back to the Cesar Romero version of the Joker as seen in the TV show and preferred Nicholson even though I don't think he's a great actor. For me, Keaton has been the best Batman so far.

It's about £5 on BR now and has all the extras (some are great if Bat history interests you). I have the novel but haven't actually read it as I've misplaced it  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I've managed to piece together a few things through the Batman films (Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Begins, Dark Knight), Batman Beyond cartoon series, The Dark Knight Returns gn and generally reading on the net.
Batman, for me, has always been about invoking fear into the enemy, striking from the shadows etc so as to have the psychological edge over them, rather than an all-out fistfight. This is why I quite enjoyed BB and showing his ninja training.

You got me thinking about the more psychological Batman story arcs, Arkham Asylum (Grant Morrison on top form before he disappeared up his own Bat cave) is absolutely brilliant, though it's more Batman being messed about than anything, same with Hush _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

You'll love it, it's an absolute classic  I can't remember a thing about it except him chasing down some girl, so I probably agree At some point I'll do a list of Bat books to avoid cos there's some tripe out there IMO  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

A few more unfortunately (and as I always say, avoid any recent Grant Morrison stuff): Batman: City of Crimehttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... ntrades-20... Batman: Broken Cityhttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... ntrades-20... Batman: As the Crow Flieshttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... ntrades-20Right, I should point out that I'd always advise you to walk into Waterstones etc and take a look at these for yourself, the (crap) writing's usually a good starting point  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:
