Re: First pic of Heath Ledger as the Joker
[ QUOTE ]
Reminds me a bit of Gacy. [/ QUOTE ] Yea, it kind of does. I love the casting decision and think the picture looks dark, creepy and fantastic. I agree w/ the comment that comparing this Joker could be like comparing apples and oranges, similar to how Batman Begins had a much different feel to it than Batman. I think by the end of this movie the only people that are going to be bitter with Ledger being the Joker are the ladies, yet another movie in which he isn't the male heartthrob, not exactly a swooning type picture in the OP.

Re: First pic of Heath Ledger as the Joker
Guys, no one is going to slip into your memories and eat Jack Nicholson.
I love the Tim Burton Batmans, but I'm really looking forward to a Joker that's not scored by Prince and dressed by MC hammer.

Re: First pic of Heath Ledger as the Joker
The Prince stuff was a resoundingly flat part of that movie. It really sucked a lot of the life out of it.
Nicholson's performance was top notch. I look forward to another take on it, but as someone said, you can't compare apples to oranges. Someone may give a virtuoso performance, but that won't necessarily make it any better than Nicholson's.

Re: First pic of Heath Ledger as the Joker

My favorite depiction of Batman is actually the 1990s cartoon series. [/ QUOTE ] That series was so awesome. Remember the episode where the clock king got a hold of those time displacement devices, and went around stealing [censored], so batman and robin got there own time displacers, and ruined his [censored]? That was awesome. Or the one where the huge computer started making robot copies of all the politicians in town? Or the one where bruce wayne gets amnesia, and ends up in a forced sweatshop camp in the desert, then finally remembers he's batman, and starts kicking ass? Lots of fond memories there.

Re: First pic of Heath Ledger as the Joker
So this is what happens to gay cowboys when they go off the deep end.
this movie should rock if it is anything like Begins. The roles played by jack and ledger likely will not be comparable if this joker is indeed super dark. I don't think ledger will touch jack in acting.

Re: First pic of Heath Ledger as the Joker
I'm SRSLY busting a nut over here. Finally we'll get a true Joker in live action. I'm also happy about the way they're marketing it. Last time around, they had a bunch of crappy commercials that took the one liners out of context in order to make the movie look "fun." This time around, they're promoting it extremely early and in a mysterious manner. The joker response to Harvey's campaign (ie "ibelieveintharveydenttoo" adds a bit of creepiness and foreshadowing.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] This will obviously be a darker version of the joker. [/ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] That cartoon series really is great. It's one of my favorite cartoons of all time. The movies should be just like that.
