The thing is i always thought the Joker was some kind of mad court jester type character as seen in the modern comics and the animated series.

He is insane and laughs at his own jokes.

Did you think the big screen Joker Heath played was a little too close to the Mark Hamill Joker on tas?

I actually like Mark Hamill's better.

Though he embraced Heath in the role, which was pretty gracious.

Dark Knight's biggest failing is the fact that it is a Nolan original script and does not adapt a comic.

Batman Begins was so successful because it adapted the best batman comic ever by Frank Miller, Year one.

They had a lot of material they could have used over about 70 years worth of stuff.

They could have done the killing joke, or the long Halloween.
