I think so, I don't know why they released it in the summer. Plus it had to compete with the likes of Jurassic Park so would explain why it didn't do well at the time.
In the UK the film at least got released in October.

To be honest I don't always buy into this thing that Joker was some decent guy, but his accident suddenly turned him into a psychopathic homicidal maniac (like The Killing Joke). I do prefer back stories where he always had a twisted side to his personality, such as the 1989 Joker, and the other versions from the animated series and Gotham.
Funny you say that considering there was a petition trying to stop Michael Keaton from being Batman.
To be honest, the only ones that really kick up a fuss about casting are hardcore comic book readers as nothing seems to fit with the vision of what they want a character or story to be like. A majority of audiences just sit back and enjoy.
