Aye, I can get on board with "not for everyday." Same thing with Dave McKean's Joker and maybe Ledger's Joker. Wouldn't want it to be the standard, but I still love it in its own context.

Unfortunately, the rest of TLH/DV, we get the Joker speaking only in Christmas quotes, airport lingo, gangster lines, etc.

And I would be a hypocrite if I didn't say I too was blown away by TLH when I was young. Shit, I had a letter printed in issue # 4 (the New Year's issue)! But then I got older, and not even my love for Harvey could keep me from going, "Waaaaait... this... kinda blows?"
