Inspiration For The Dark Knight Film

Batman: The Killing Joke is one of the comics the influenced The Dark Knight that hit theaters this summer. Trust me, it was a blockbuster! I worked at a theater when it hit on the 18th of July and it was a mad house!

But anywho, The Killing Joke is mostly about the Joker, which helped them decide how actor Heath Ledger should act in the movie. Batman: The Long Halloween is another of the comics that made The Dark Knight as wonderful as it was and features more of our favorite Batman villains.

I haven't read either of the comics, but my very good friend Fitz has and raves about them. As soon as I am able to get back to Omaha, I plan to borrow them and read up.
