Nifty trailer - can't recall if I've seen it or not, though I've seen a few go by on TV.
Yeah, I know he did. And 300. And a bunch of other (good) shit, including some of the most highly-esteemed Batman graphic novels (though I must confess, I've been trying to read The Dark Knight Returns, and just.. can't seem to get into it. I know it's a classic, but.. guess I should try again. I think I'm just not accustomed to the art style, though the writing is good. Loved his Batman Origins or whatever it was called graphic novel, though. Not least because it had a ton of Gordon..)
(which reminds me - I started watching The Dark Knight with my parents the other day, and honest to god I swear my mother is being purposely dim.. *eyeroll* She says she's enjoying it, but that she doesn't really know what's going on and she keeps asking me to explain story points to her. -_- I told her she should have just gone and seen it in a theatre - it's much easier to fully enjoy and understand when watched straight through in one sitting while being totally absorbed in it, rather than watching the first 40 minutes late at night while falling asleep. -___- I've left it with them to finish; couldn't take it anymore. I'll finish rewatching it later. Still damned good, btw - easy to get pulled right into, esp after having dabbled in the fandom the last 5-6 monthes.).
