Can you track the comic source?

Interrogation from the Killing Joke is obvious...but...

The fight scene and dialogue are extremely similar.

I think there's a lot of reaching in this thread, outside of the obvious examples.

You do realize you're taking this to seriously?

Is "seriously" a person or place to which I can take something?

Oh...you meant "too seriously." Just aren't very good at grammar.

Lol, dude do you enjoy telling little kids there is no such thing as Santa Claus. Just enjoy it for what it is.

Continue to be rude & unpleasant and you'll find yourself taking a break from here.

To stay on topic though, I have come up with a couple:

Yes! Somebody else noticed this! I LOVE the eye bit and how they mimicked that.

Any idea where I can pick up the version that had these colors??

I like all of this!!! Nice tracking brotha. Can you re-link one of your middle links though? It blocked itself out I think

That would be the ORIGINAL Killing Joke; they released a reprint last year with the original colors for cheap.

No?

Ok

And that shot of Catwoman reminds me of the one from the trailer
(when she is looking through the cell bars)

Yeah, I've been trying to track it down since 2007. Would like to own both finally.

Last year, huh? Any special title additions or cover images I should look for?

Well back in 2006 when TDK was announced, I had a beat up copy of Daredevil #9 and was able to trade it for a mint condition original copy of The Killing Joke from 1989; I consider myself a collector, and it's my favorite Batman story of all time, so in my opinion I think it's worth tracking down the original source of the Killing Joke; they have that new recolored one out, but it just lacks the depth and richness of the original colored version.

If you go to your local comic shop and ask them what recent copy of The Killing Joke that they released, then I'm sure they'll show you the paperback one that I saw that looked authentic to the original, minus the quality of paper it was made out of and the title was embossed on the original copy instead of this knew one I speak of. It will be the same, basically, and the actual title on the book will either be green, yellow, or red... to my knowledge; there might be a blue one too, but don't quote me for certain. They're reprints mostly, but the green titled one will be your best chance. And when you look for it, make sure it's paperback; that way you will know.

Here's that other comparison btw.





Both photos, to me, share the same pose, the same element of story/surprise, and both something very elemental... very haunting; that something horrid is about to happen.

This one is straight out of Hush too

Got a scan to compare, Mee?

Yes, I believe the perspective shares some ambiguous but scary qualities...Bane

mostly the back, arm and head. Tom's Bane looks like there is some sort of button on the back and comic Bane shows where the tubes feed into his brain

That split second moment from the new spot made me very happy. It's such a Batman move! I get the sense this movie will, at least to some degree, return to the creature of the night feel that wasn't quite there in TDK.

Fantastic comparison, Zod. It's pretty much exactly what we see in TDKR.
