So CN is playing a badass Batman movie similar to the Animatrix, with 6 shorts written and animated by different artists:
Right now they're on the second short. The first was really good. So uhh...watch it. And stuff.
Have I Got a Story for You (Studio 4°C)
Written by Josh Olson. A street kid meets with three of his friends at a skate park. All three of them claim to have seen Batman earlier that day. Batman's battle with the Man in Black, a high-tech criminal, is told in reverse chronological order, with three very different interpretations of Batman's form and abilities.
Crossfire (Production I.G)
Written by Greg Rucka. Crispus Allen and Anna Ramirez are partners and members of the Major Crimes Unit that have been hand-picked by James Gordon. The two are assigned to take the recently captured Man in Black (captured during Have I Got A Story For You), revealed to be Jacob Feely, an escaped inmate from Arkham Asylum with an expertise in advanced electronics and explosives, to the Narrows to be incarcerated.
Field Test (Bee Train)
Written by Jordan Goldberg. An accident involving a new WayneCom satellite's gyroscopic electromagnetic guidance system gives Lucius Fox an idea to create a device with the satellite's gyro with an advance motion sensor that will electromagnetically deflect small-arms fire.
In Darkness Dwells (Madhouse)
Written by David S. Goyer. The police respond to a riot in a cathedral where Cardinal O'Fallon was giving a sermon. According to eyewitness testimony, the Cardinal was abducted by a large lizard-monster and taken down into the crypts below the cathedral. Lieutenant Gordon, Crispus Allen, and Anna Ramirez investigate; Gordon has a brief conversation with Batman, who agrees with Gordon's theory that the Scarecrow's fear toxin is behind the riot as the doctor has been at large since the riot at the Narrows (during the event of Batman Begins).
Working Through Pain (Studio 4°C)
Written by Brian Azzarello. Continuing on from In Darkness Dwells, Batman is shot in the stomach by a man hallucinating in the sewers of Gotham. He cauterizes the wound and attempts to get out from underground, reflecting on his experiences with managing pain as he does so
Deadshot (Madhouse)
Written by Alan Burnett. Bruce Wayne has a flashback to the murder of his parents. In his penthouse, he examines the firearms he took from the underground tunnel's gutter (during the event of Working Through Pain) which he intends to turn in to the police. [...] Meanwhile, in another city, an assassin known as Deadshot carries out an assassination on a local mayor and returns to his tropical base. There, one of his associates hires him to carry out a hit in Gotham.
Right now they're on the second short. The first was really good. So uhh...watch it. And stuff.

is it worth trying to watch them all from beginning to end?
They're all loosely connected in that they all take place between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Watching the first isn't necessary to understand the second, though.
Crossfire was also pretty amazing, for different reasons.
Batman punched a goddamn bullet!
Young Bruce is so pretty

The best.
But, since The Dark Knight, Mark Hamill isn't the best Joker anymore.
Well, he's still the best living Joker.
It really is a fucking shame that Ledger couldn't live to see how people unanimously loved him for the best Joker reprisal ever made.
sorry but one good film doesn't erase years and years and years of hamill
JordynNolz.com <- All my blogs (Shepard, Wasted, J'onn, DCAU) are here now!
Ledger was great
but Hamill is better
hey satan...: thinkgeek amazon My post |
They were both pretty spectacular, but Ledger's performance was unprecendented.
He completely nailed the character in so many ways, and completely out of the blue.
Hamill has done outstanding work, and will always be unmatched in the DCAU, but pulling off that kind of amazement in a live-action film takes a lot more than a great voice.

hamill is the better
we specified best joker
Hamill is still the best
Hamill only has anything to do with the first step. Not that I'm dissing his talents as a VA, which are pretty much unmatched for what he does.
He just can't bring that kind of intimidation onto the big screen in of himself.

you are incorrect on this one
whatever reasoning you have, hamill is the best still
I'm not going to compare him to Hamill right now though
it's just not fair
