This will obviously be a darker version of the joker.

No joke. Hes going to blow the Nicholson version away. Nolan is going to have Joker be the sick, twisted looney he is instead of Burtons im kinda bad but I still dance to prince.

I hope you're not hating on Nicholson's portrayal of the joker, which I thought was great. The tone of the Batman comic series and its characters has varied constantly since its creation. I don't think a darker version of the Joker is necessarily more correct than Nicholson's portrayal. I really liked Burton's first Batman, though I thought the 3 Batmans after that were terrible. Christian Bale's portrayal was a little too dark for my tastes, but I'm still open minded about the subsequent movies.
My favorite depiction of Batman is actually the 1990s cartoon series. I think that series found the happiest medium between darkness and campiness.
