It really seems like Nolan, his brother and Goyer took a lot influences from TDKR, Year One, Long Halloween/Dark Victory, Arkham Asylum (the comic not the VG), Knightfall, The Killing Joke and who knows how many others but based on the stuff I recognized I'd say those were the main ones.

It was really cool to see various scenes or aspects of the character that were ripped directly from the comic book and fused with Nolan's own unique vision of Batman.
Too bad they never showed the Doll House from Arkham Asylum, but i guess there is NO WAY Hollywood is touching that story. Spoiler is from the graphic novel.
Spoiler!


You need to read Cataclysm which is where a massive 9.0 earthquake wipes out gotham and then the after math of that in No Mans Land. All the bridges are blown out and no none is allowed to leave the island of Gotham. hmmm it's actually sound alot like DMZ which is the vertigo graphic.

One of the best story arcs ever for Batman and the ending which is pretty awesome. I must have read both of these over 10 times.
