Sadly, he too is unavailable, due to his death in 2003. Artist Alex Ross once used Gregory Peck in the course of painting the pages of Kingdom Come as a visual model for such an elder Batman.

Or even the quirky and probably in my opinion of course, best batman yet Michael Keaton. Christian Bale is good as batman, but I think if a live action batman version of batman forever were to come out, he's be a good choice to play the old man. as far as heath ledger's performance. its good, still can't top jack. i think jack is more creepier. i liked it but that’s about it.

Glad I didn't delete this bookmark. Now - as for the Dark Knight - I'm a big fan of the comic books. Mostly Marvel in my collection, but Batman was an exception - especially the Dark Knight Returns limited series that Frank Miller did in 1986. Exceptional version of the comic book. And I will see this movie and I'm sure enjoy it - but you're so right about the hype. Way over the top. I've decided to wait til it's almost out of steam before going to the theatre. A pal at work saw it close to when it first hit the theatres and he made this statement - "dare I say Ledger's Joker is better than Nicholson's." I had to tell him - look - if he's great, that's a good thing. But why do we have to say it's a topper to Jack? As you say Joe - humour is important and Jack's Joker made me laugh AND made me cringe. So at best, Ledger's version can be great - but different. You can't say it's a topper. Anyway - great to have you back, Dave Joe – first off, Welcome back!
