What's up with all the fanboy-ism?
You guys really should read the comics if you're interested in these characters. I can lend you back issues over the past few years if you're interested. The Batman main series is still the benchmark for all other titles. Ledger's Joker is actually a pretty accurate rendition of the Joker in the comic books. In other words the previous portrayals were just bad or were out of character. The Joker in the Dark Knight is highly reminiscent of his portrayal in Alan Moore's The Killing Joke.
Batman Beyond sucked.
I found the Dark Knight good, but there was a lot of intellectual masturbation. Watch it again in a few months and you probably won't find it as brilliant as you do now.
