Batman: The Killing Joke - new avatar and banner

Hi guys :D

It's been a long time since my last blog. How do you like my new user icon and banner? Images comes from Batman: The Killing Joke, graphic novel written by Alan Moore and drawn by Brian Bolland (published by DC Comics in 1988 ).

The Killing Joke had an extraordinary impact not only on the DC Universe but also on other media. Tim Burton claimed that The Killing Joke influenced his film adaptation of Batman and Christopher Nolan has mentioned that The Killing Joke served as an influence for the version of the Joker appearing in The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger, who played the Joker, stated in an interview that he was given a copy of The Killing Joke as reference for the role.

If you haven't read it, you should.

Here's a little teaser: Mark Hamill is reading Joker's monologue from The Killing Joke!
