To each his own.
I collected Detective and Batman as a boy - had about 500 issues. Nicholson was much truer to the character. Ledger was a psycho, but not the Joker.
(I don’t generally even like Nicholson.)

That’s quite a collection for just Batman comics. I have more than 20,000 comics, most of them Marvel. I collected them until I was in my early 40’s. I’m a big fan of Frank Miller’s take on Batman.
Sometimes I think you really don’t grow up until you have kids. I don’t have any kids.
