I've been watching the Batman animated series right now and, besides turning my brain to mush, I must say that Mark Hamill will always be the Joker to me. Jack Nicholson should get some acting advice from Mark because Mark's portrayal is leagues above. I just find it so hard to believe that Mark is really the Joker. He will never do the voice in public. Conspiracy, maybe? Regardless, I must say I love it every time the Joker makes an appearance. You can't help but laugh and get caught up the mayhem the Joker is about to create. You somehow root for the man despite knowing he's a homicidal maniac and you laugh along with his exploits.
So kudos to you Mark. They should have cast you as the Joker in The Dark Knight movie. I think Mark even has the face for it.

Anyway, I agree that it's far and away his best role.

Indeed. They lost their only chance to save The Dark Knight from complete suckitude. Mask of the Phantasm remains the only good Batman movie.

Before I give you a kick in the nads, would you like to take that back and recognize both Subzero and (the uncut) Return of the Joker for the awesome movies they are?

I agree, I do love everything about Mr. Freeze in TAS - perhaps that's why I'm partial to Sub Zero. As for Return of the Joker - I guess I'll let you slide on that one, since it's "technically" a Batman Beyond movie. The flashback sequence in it though is really quite awesome. Do watch it sometime.

The Batman Animated series also was responsible for one of the best video game adaptations of a TV property. The Adventures of Batman and Robin on the SNES. I loved that game and even with today's gaming standards, it's still a good game.
The funny thing about the Batman animated series is that they handled a lot of the lesser known villains better than some of the more famous. Maybe that's because the lesser villains had been so underdeveloped in the past. But Catwoman, Penguin, The Riddler, and even the Scarecrow just seem to lask something. Part of it might have to do with the fact that most of the episodes they appear in are too fantastic or lame. Some of the best episodes were when a villain was being introduced for the first time. Mr. Freeze, Clayface, The Ventriloquist, The Mad Hatter, Two Face. Even the Clock King. I love that guy.
I still have hopes for the new Batman movie. It's the movie I most want to see in 2008. Even if Indiana Jones comes out and there's another James Bond movie. The Dark Night is still the one I am most interested.

"What hidden terror keeps the Batman awake at night?"
"Why couldn't you save us, son?"
"A need filled you. All consuming. All controlling."
"Revenge!"
"I am Vengeance. I am the Night. I am BATMAN!"
Does anyone happen to know what I'm talking about and where to find it?
