i've seen joker implicitly rape barbara gordon after paralysing her, and then showing this to her father in one of their craziest freak show circuses ever.
black mask made catwoman's friend eat pieces of her husband, driving her insane.
at the end of no man's land when joker tries to kill a bunch of babies, and then murders gordon's wife. CHILLING.
dc gets pretty graphic at times..
but i had the tpb of the first carnage intro, and besides sprawling CARNAGE RULES in blood, it wasn't too graphic. i could be mistaken. that cell scene was rough, though.
the amount of symbiotes in comics is absurd. mid 90's they were milking it for all it's worth and i lost interest after like 100$.
as for dark knight, i already know that it's mainly a crime movie. but recent news mentions joker starts out with a clown mask and green hair, but after a tumble with batman gets a more permanent alternative. may have heard mention of zazz returning. not sure about scarecrow. i think they would be safe saving him until the third installment. nolan's not really a horror guy. he handled scarecrow decently, and the actor did GREAT. but i hoped for a bit more. i heard the original design was a lot more horrific. i know bale is pushing hard for an R-rated film. or at least a cut. i like the way he thinks!
as for who i hope for. gosh golly gee! they could do anything, really. i've read every batman villain done right. but ever since that mr. freeze episode from batman TAS, i've always hoped for a movie of that calibur. i was so let down with B&R. even as a young boy, that episode touched me deeply.
aside from that, i've always kind of dug the way croc was handled. in the beginning as a fairly smart tough guy gangsta, and even in the crazy super reptile state.
also, recent black mask ROCKED me. he was just this over the top crazy FUCK. bash winnick all they want, them faggy dc forum bitches, but he wrote a MEAN black mask. old black mask was some looney fuck obsessed with long boring monologues and a retarded fixation with introspection and duality and faggotry.
mad hatter and riddler could work well together. but it'd be dangerously close of being over the top campy, and not over the top thriller. gail simone writes an awesomely perverted and wack job hatter. and from hush we know riddler can be dark.
FINALLY, i would have liked ra's al ghul to be done with a more epic battle. that train battle didn't sit right with me. it should have been done on the roof or something. with SWORDS. bats and ras always fight with swords by a poison lazarus pit. dammit.
