"Long Halloween" and "Dark Victory" were out in 2001 and 2002 so they are not that old. Also, Jeff Loeb's Hush seriers was out in 2004 and that was incredible. On an unrelated note, everybody should go read "Arkham Asylum" it is maybe the greatest Batman story I have ever read.

Hush was ok, Arkham Asylum was good, read it when it came out.

Hush showed a Detective (older & mature) Batman while Loeb's work with Tim Sale (younger Batman) shows a brute who can be mistaken and loyal to a fault. I just hope that the Dark Knight film builds up Batman and Dent's relationship properly.

are these books or something ? lol

Hey SuperSix14,

I maybe missing the sarcasm, but yeah they are. If you are a fan of the Bat movies, go read "Haunted Knight" follow that with "Long Halloween" and close it off with "Dark Victory". I promise you wont be disappointed. They are not kiddy at all. Two-face shoots his mistress in the head because she thought they were a team. The Joker shoots Two-Face in the face just to prove that he is more powerful. Good, dark reads, for any Batman fan.

I just hope they show why the improvements to the suit were done. watching batman begins, it showed the development of Bruce Wayne's character and personality. I just think that they should show that. do you remember the statment batman made to rachel "It's not who I am underneath, but what I *do* that defines me." this is what i want to see. a development on what led him to say that. same way with the suit. it represents a symbol, and it makes a statment. what made him change it. thats all i am wondering about.

Another good example showing Jim Carrey as a good actor, look at the reviews from this movie, more serious than Truman Show...
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

He is a good actor, but he is type cast so often that the only serious roles he takes no one takes him seriously from the get-go, or the movies are just not that good to begin with half the time. But Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine are both good examples of his true acting talent.

As for Batman, this is a different take on the Joker, and I will have to see it to decide for myself. I still think Jim was a great Riddler, but the rest of the movie (plot, characters, costumes, etc.) sucked!

Nothing creepier than a big ole' bright yellow POW! on the screen when the Batman socks his enemies! Ah, I miss the 60's.
