I'm a big batman fan. I highly recommend the graphic novel, Batman Year One, which this movie was apparently loosely based on. Frank Miller wrote it and it's excellent.

I do have a contention with Jack Nicholson's joker. I thought it was an awful representation of the comic book joker and that had they actually went with a pg-13 or R rating and had the *real* joker in it then the first Batman movie would have been incredible. Instead we get typical Nicholson and an extremely watered down movie.
