Which Batman incarnation have you enjoyed more, the campy '60s one or the grim, "I want to commit suicide if I have to watch half an hour more of this" Dark Knight from this past summer?There are aspects of all the various incarnations that I like.

After being convicted of second-degree murder for assisting terminally ill patients to commit suicide, Kevorkian, a former pathologist, served in prison for eight years before being released on parole in 2007. Kevorkian said he uses the 9th Amendment, which addresses civil rights not specifically enumerated in the Constitution, as the basis for his belief in a patient’s right...
