One thing I did miss in Chris Nolan's most recent Bat-epic, The Dark Knight, was the overly macabre practical jokes that the comic incarnation of the Joker used to use: acid squirting flowers, deadly hand-buzzers and laughing gas, things like that. It's one of the reasons, no matter how petty it may be, that I find the original Burton Batman the best of the previous film series. It also manages to be uniquely and obviously Burton whilst managing to retain a blend of both dark and campy Batman cannon to be both fun and menacing.
I dig it big time.
4/5
