If only Mark Hammil could have been lured out of Joker Retirement.

No bloody way.

Unpopular opinion here, but unless its something tied directly to a previous movie/show/game, I'd rather see different takes on the Joker.

I love Hamill's take on the character, I really do. I grew up on it, loved seeing it get a bit more mature in the movies in the series, and really get some room to breath in the Arkham games. I usually even read comics featuring Joker in the voice, occasionally out loud (Disturbed my friend by telling the joke from Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth... He hadn't read it and became a bit uncomfortable).

However, with as many different iterations of these characters as exist out there, there is plenty of room for newcomers and different takes on the character.

Hopefully one day we'll get an animated The Killing Joke, as that is what Hamill has said he'd come back for, but I don't know if WB would be able to do that story justice without going R.

Wait until you hear it before knocking it.

It could easily done at PG-13 without having to sacrifice much if anything.

I’m glad Part 2 is coming in early 2013 (hopefully around March) so we don’t have to wait a long time to see the conclusion of the story. Anyway, I’m very excited about part 1 and hopefully it will do justice to the amazing graphic novel.

Just got my notification that I'll be recieving my copy (along with Avengers) by the 18th.

Looks like it. There's a similar image on the BestBuy.com site too, but I pulled this from BestBuy.ca.

Beast · 09-15-2012, 04:12 PM

Figured it would be old chunky Batman. Hopefully Part 2 gets a DKR Robin.

Thanks man

tenderheartbear · 09-15-2012, 04:23 PM

The Blu-ray is region free, but the DVD is R1, R3 and R4 (just like every other WB DC title since Justice League: Doom).

Sky_Captain · 09-15-2012, 04:39 PM

Watched it this morning.

Not bad, not bad at all.

My only complaint is Weller's dialogue being slightly low in places.

Transfer wise, didn't see any problems, just the odd bit of banding, which seems to be in just about all these DC titles, but not the worst I've seen.

People not familiar with the material, might feel it borrows ideas from the recent live-action movies, but obviously it's the other way around.

Bring on Part 2.

Just noticed the cover doesn't specify UV DC. Please tell me WB dropped that BS.

Bat-Mite: "Batman's rich history allows him to be interpreted in a multitude of ways. To be sure, this is a lighter incarnation, but is certainly no less valid and true to the character's roots then the tortured avenger, crying out for mommy and daddy." Batman: The Brave & The Bold - Legend of the Dark Mite.
