Gully Foyle is...the original Joker AND Batman in one

That would be a bit difficult, since his story wasn’t published until 1956,
17 years after Batman first graced the cover of Detective Comics #32, and 16
years after the Joker was introduced in Batman #1. Ironically enough, the
first Joker story was reprinted in 1956.

(Ahem..)
Alfred Bester’s job was writing and editing Detective Comics through the 1940s.
Batman worked for him.
However, what I meant was, the movie version of Batman and Joker leap out of the
pages of Bester’s Tiger, Tiger. The momentum of this book is infectious, you
can read it in two hours and not realize the time. It’s sooo begging to be a
movie, because everything that blockbuster movies depend on is already in here,
visualized long before anybody believed it could be done outside of radio and
words on warm, dead trees.
You should read it.
