Multiple choice past – wouldn't that be nice? Knew he'd been around from the beginning. Wonder if they will reboot the villain again in the next incarnation of the Batman movies?
The Killing Joke and The Dark Knight Returns are two of my favourite Joker stories in the comics. My absolute favorite version of the Joker is in BTAS. Not to take away from Heath Ledger's legendary performance, but Mark Hamill is the Joker, as much as Kevin Conroy is Batman.
i was always a fan of the awful yet entertaining… tv show in the 60's my first introduction to super heroes.
not that it was awful… just hippie-batman. just like when i was younger with the christopher reeve's superman, i was like wow. now i still love it, but see it for it's flaws.
