He'll be more like the serial killer he is instead of a weirdo showman. Hopefully it touches on his obsessiveness with the Batman as well. There was a great "Dark Knight" series in the early part of the decade that covered how he thought he had killed Batman. Batman dropped off the radar for a few months recouperating and Joker lost all direction, became a model citizen, donned flesh colored makeup and got engaged to a sweet young girl before Batman returned and brought him back to psychosis.
He's like the one guy Joker can't kill and it an obsession that consumes him - or something like that. You don't get any of that with the Nickelson character - esp. when the friggen KILLED him the first movie - WTF?

Sounds like a good storyline - it's been implied a lot that Batman and Joker basically need each other to survive, and that Batman is almost as psychotic as the Joker in his own way. Like you said, Batman '89 just made it standard good/evil with a campy villain.
Here's a nice little Joker comparison:
