Neat. I guess it's just that the last movie they did like this (a specific comic adaptation) was The Dark Knight Returns and while they obviously couldn't make every thing look like Miller's work it seemed like they captured the style better for animation than this. Mainly it was Batman's ears in The Killing Joke, they spread out a bit too much like Batman's 1st appearance, and then Joker's hair looked off to me (too tall or spiky or something I can't quite put into words well). Just a minor nitpick I had but the imagery itself (what they were doing and how they did it) was pretty spot on to the source down to the way Joker ends his song (I liked this bit for finally giving that song an actual tune since the comic clearly could not include musical instructions).
