I’m not the joker

Went out to see Dark Knight tonite, in part because some folks said that it seemed that the joker was modeled on me. As far as I can tell, it isn’t, although there may have been some very superficial similarities. The movie itself was good. I’m not gonna bore anyone with a detailed analysis, i’m just not that much of a comic book freak. (although I am seriously stoked about Watchmen next spring) The thing I found interesting was the parallel speeches between Joker & Batman compared to the Elf Prince & Hellboy in Hellboy 2, the “you’re a freak, and even now they are turning on you” speeches.
