I loved this film. Not only was it a great superhero movie but it was a great Batman story. Usually the good comic book movies tend to get the basics of the characters right, throw some action in and a forced love interest. Usually I leave the theater just happy if came within fifty yards of great stories we read in comics. The Spiderman movies are good but they didn't come close to "The Death of Gwen Stacy." or "Spiderman Blue". X-men 2 was great but it was no "Dark Phoenix Saga."
The Dark Knight stands with the best Batman stories. It ranks up there with Killing Joke, Year One, & DKR. When someone asks me for a definitive Batman story, I'll happily recommend this film.
I'm an Absolute addict. I've had to shift my shelves around so I could store them properly. I just wish some of the slipcases weren't so tight. I cringe every time I try to slide them back in the case.
Books I'd like to see:
Birthright
James Robinson's Golden Age
Ed Brubaker's Authority run
Kevin Smith's Green Arrow
Brad Meltzer's Green Arrow with Identy Crisis. Two separate books in one slipcase. Like Crisis.
