Comic Adaptation
While the comic based on the movie was largely uncensored, the page depicting the Joker's death had to be redone to match the movie. The rest of the comic, however, was not altered. As a result, the rest of the story refers to the Joker being shot as opposed to electrocuted and killed.

The comic includes several scenes that did not make it to either versions of the film, such as:
- Bruce's visit to the remains of Arkham Asylum to find clues on the Joker's return. He is unknowingly followed by Terry. The Joker body is hanging from the ceiling written on his body saying "I Know". Storyboard drawings, however, do appear as deleted scenes, which were present on both versions of the DVD as part of the special features.
- Batman's interrogation of the Penguin in the flashback. Both were part of the script that got cut out of the movie due to time and pacing concerns, as confirmed in the commentary.

Famous quotes containing the words comic and/or adaptation:
“Wit is often concise and sparkling, compressed into an original pun or metaphor. Brevity is said to be its soul. Humor can be more leisurely, diffused through a whole story or picture which undertakes to show some of the comic aspects of life. What it devalues may be human nature in general, by showing that certain faults or weaknesses are universal. As such it is kinder and more philosophic than wit which focuses on a certain individual, class, or social group.”
—Thomas Munro (1897–1974)
“Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring, through obeying the blind urge.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
