The Joker was a manic insane killer until the comic code came along and thats when the Joker set up "camp". Ledger's was the best, both in skill of acting and in faithfulness to the original Bob Kane vision. Well to be quite honest, Caesar wasn’t even close to the comic book.

Up up and awaaaaaaayy. Oddly Caesar is perfectly accurate to the comic and actually kinda creepier than the just ate a whole fudge cake look of the ledger joker. Up up and awaaaaaaayy.

On the other hand, I'm really looking forward to TDK. I think there's room in this world for both interpretations of the character (not to mention the many spoofs of the old show via The Simpsons). And for those people out there who hate the old TV show, thank your lucky stars it came along. The Batman title was almost irrelevant at DC at the time and the show gave the title and the character new life.

The New Yorker calls it rotten but one of the lines in that review had me cracking up. While describing the soundtrack of the dark knight, the reviewer states: "At times, the movie sounds like two excited mattresses making love in an echo chamber."

Back in 66, TV was CAMP, it wasn't a look it was the norm...... Things changed with our TV culture and as well with the movies. (Look at some of the first James Bond films compared to Casino Royale, sheesh the torture scene alone would have been cut back then just to get an R rating.) Adam West's Batman, does remind me of more innocent times, the villians and the look of the show mark its place in history. ;-) Wow, That’s insane looking. ;-)

One of the things I love about Nolan's version is that he was the first director to take out all the "camp" from the Batman series. The Tim Burton films always felt like the TV show to me. I guess seeing Batman go through that stark evolution when Miller stepped onto the comics scene has forever changed that character for the better.

When talking about the greatest people to ever don the cape and cowl Adam West easily comes in 2nd behind Christian Bale. Batman's a very adaptable character and with Bale and West you get the two extremes. And as Adam West's Bruce Wayne said to Ms. Kitka in one of the great pickup lines of all time "It's too bad relations between our two countries have to be so.... cold" The 1966 Batman will always hold a special place in my heart.

I even did not like the Burton-Batman with Jack Nicholson as Joker. It was always too much "comic" to me. The same counts for those Spidey and Superman-movies. I don't like these "perfect" heroes with supernatural powers. When I saw Batman begins I was blown away. There's this guy who has no superpowers, who has a broken mind. A bad guy, basically. What I love about the "new" batman is, that this Batman is really a fuck. He is bad, he likes revenge, he fights dirty. He is some sort of shizophreniac and he can be really ugly. The new villains are better, too. Comic-movie-adaptations finally seem to get made for an adult audience. I never liked the old Batman/Joker-Stuff.
