I think this is what the critics who said "The Dark Knight" was too dark and serious was hoping to see.

Part of why I love Protocomics is the brilliant dialogue. I need to start saying "Bless My Biscuits!" whenever I'm in shock. I'm going to try and find the original issue. I just HAVE to see what the context is for a dummy-firing cannon.

Heath Ledger has never looked better than in this adaptation of the movie.

by jove, its true. I can see why frank millers batman would force robin to eat raw meat and sugar in tights. anything to make him less of a dumbass.

"Ass-beating paging Joker. Joker, you have a brutal ass-beating on line one"

That one made me laugh so hard I thought milk was going to come out of my nose.

Brilliant Proto...makes me remiss over my wilful youth spent at Jokers Clown College.

Laughed ... hard.

Robin's a tool. Boy, I hope Chris Nolan is smart enough to stay the fuck away from adding him to the next Batman movie.

I loved the use of "Suddenly Susan!". I bet half the readers here didn't catch the subtle sitcom reference.

I just want to know what the original comic was like! I know the Silver Age was pretty fucked up at times, But I can't possibly imagine what the hell this story is actually about.

i'm watching Dark knight on the internet, and i'm actually planning on buying it when it's on DVD, i like it so far, there should be more on Twoface if you ask me, i mean, he could have his own movie if you think about it, with him as the main villan
OH GOD

I don't know what's funnier, the new dialogue, or the fact that the new dialogue actually fits with what's being shown in the panels.
