He didn't get fired, he quit because he was angry at Disney. Many times they ignored his ideas or went back on their word.

When was the first Batman movie released?

"The original Batman" was a series simply called "Batman", it was released in serial style in 1943. Each episode was about 20 minutes long and you had to go to a theatre to watch it, b/c most people didn't have TVs back then. If you're talking about the movies, Adam West's Batman movie was released in 1966; the Batman movie directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton was released in 1989.


The animated jokers age?

That really depends on which animated version. The 60s cartoon, Superfriends, Batman TAS/New Adventures of Batman, Batman Beyond:Return of the Joker, The Batman, or The Brave & the Bold?Let's say you're talking about TAS. It was based on the Tim Burton movie, which replaced Joe Cool with Jack Napier (faux name). That Joker looked about 20 when Batman was about 10, so if Bruce was 20-30 as Batman, then the Hamill-Joker was 30-40. But in the comics, the Joker could easily be the same age or even younger than Bruce Wayne.
