I like Mark Hamil's voice as the Joker, and I kinda liked the character from "Return of the Joker," but the animated version was always a little too goofy. I really want to see the Joker like in "Dark Knight Returns," the one who was lethal, crazy, and just... a formidable enemy for the dark knight.

I always thought that the Joker was a good match for Batman, because the only good counter for a truly great detective would be a madman who works in no patterns.

I'd love to see THAT version of the Joker.

Batman: Year One
Dark Knight Returns
Batman: The Long Halloween

All great reads. Only the second one has anything about the joker- although just like in Batman Begins, they mention him on the very last page of Batman: Year One.

P.S. Catwoman looks hot all bondage like that.

Well, yeah, judging by the suit she wears he may not be too far wrong this time.

I actually meant to say "dominatrix," but I'm glad to have added to Gabe's spank bank.

Yeah, in Batman: Year One, catwoman is all dressed up in black leather. Oh, and she's a hooker. Aside from that, she's a very empowered woman, and I actually really liked the character (and hated the movie- I'm hoping horrible things happen to whoever decided that movie was good enough to be released- well, the people who did that and Electra). I just wish they had done justice to the character, an empowered woman who doesn't follow the rules.

Oh, and no magic cats. Stupid Spiderman was a success, so now everyone has to get bitten by a radioactive/magic animal to get thier powers. It's stupid. Catwoman is just bad-assed.

I actually like the Catwoman character. And again, it is a character that has been done in many different way. In fact DC canon actually has Selina Kyle as a hooker at one point, so that aspect isn't far off.

I will, however, protest that not a single one of the incarnations before the *shudder* movie included Selina Kyle being an interior designer or her being bitten by a magic cat.

Canon on Selena Kyle is that her birthplace and parents are contested- it's never clearly stated (except in "Rome" which covers the time between "Batman: Year One" and her official appearance in the continuity of the comics) that she's the son of Falcone, but it is implied and hinted at an awful lot. Which explains why she always seemed to target mob bosses for her robberies.

She's a son of Falcone? That's a neet trick. What does she do with her penis when she transforms into Catwoman?

She had it cut off. That's why she's Cat-WOMAN.

I misspoke.

Now that's dedication to a job. Wanna be a prostitue/cat burglar/vigilante sir???

Why, yes I do.

Then we'll need to cut off your penis and fit you up for a leather body stocking.

WHERE DO I SIGN UP!?!?!?!?

IIRC the role has been tackled by: Eartha Kitt, Lee Merriweather, Halle Barre, and Michelle Pfiffer.  I think I'm missing one, though.

Wasn't Eartha Kitt the original Cat Woman?

Julie Newmar was the original Catwoman. Eartha Kitt was "Catwoman #2."

Lee Merriweather played Catwoman in Batman: The Movie (with the bat-boardshorts and the bat-copter... and the octopus. *shudder*)

But a surprising number of women have played the role of Selena Kyle.

http://imdb.com/character/ch0000184/

This is by no means a complete list.
