Sorry for not getting around to taking about stuff. Enjoyed The Dark Knight when I saw it Saturday, but consider it overrated - worth walking/running 2.5 miles for, but not nearly the religious experience people treat it as. Also, Two-Face was so much cooler than the Joker. (Yes, I said it. So there!)

In contrast, Test Drive Unlimited on XBox 360 rocks like a hurricane. This is a game where you really can drive at 140 mph (225 km/h) for forty miles without loading, through traffic, and it's a fantastic feeling. Only underwhelming parts are (a) the character customization, which is terrifically complex for not much effect, and (b) the motorcycles, which are a little too carlike to be truly thrilling. Oh, and they clearly didn't optimize for the in-car view. In spite of those, it's awesome - A+.

Both the movies were pretty cool, but mostly that movie made me remember why I'm such a fan of the TAS Joker. Now THAT guy was rockin.

Don't think I've seen the animated series. Is it out on DVD?

Oh, most assuredly. You can also Netflix it, or even get it off iTunes. Or you could go to Youtube ...

The series is one of the most well-done animated shows I've come across. A lot of fans consider Mark Hamill's Joker to be the definitive version of the character--a lot different from the slob in the movie. He's certainly one of my favorite things about the show.

I've heard many mixed reviews. From what I gather "don't believe the hype"

Agreed. It's still good, though.

physically, Two-Face was cooler. I mean, seriously, how the hell did they do his face? But he was a whiner. Personality wise, the Joker was cooler.

Hmm, in an overall sense, I suppose you're correct. The coin thing was awesome, though.

Yes. Especially the, "Your driver isn't so lucky" bit. WOW.
