Heath Ledger's makeup as the Joker is a darker version than any seen before.
As most of you know, the sequel to Batman Begins is currently in production, with the title The Dark Knight attached to it.

The Joker looks just too creepy I've also seen a video of you tube witch I thought was just a slide show and then it pops up a video of joker laughing and it really shocked me but I am going to still see the film

I really like the promoting for this movie! I just don't know if Heath was a good choice for Joker..... He better not f--- it up because Joker is by far the best Batman villan.
P.S. the BEST way for this movie to end, is for Batman to catch Joker, put him in Arkum, and have the last shot of a woman (from the neck down) enter Joker's cell, then pan a shot to Joker looking up and have the woman say something like, "Mr. Joker, I'm Dr. Quinn, I'll be your Psychiatrist." Then have Joker grin as the door slowly shuts with a bang.

i dunno what to say about the new joker. initially the first pictures were pretty cool and dark. however on a recent Film Review magazine it appears that the new joker is a revamped version of beetlejuice. does anyone agree?

Thanks for the heads up and I'm also a little worried about how the joker will come out to be. I thought the best was Mark Hamill in TAS and was disappointed to see Jack in the Tim Burton one... hope Heath makes me proud. The Trailer on youtube where the joker is just laughing in the dark with his make-up all colourful looks pretty wiked. I think it's "Trailer II"

the new era of batman looks serious... not funny like batman in 70's at all even the face of joker.. looks creepy...

After just seeing the full trailer before I Am Legend...I am very pleased with this version of the joker. While Nicholson did a great job, this seems to call back more to the deranged psychopath that I got to know in the graphic novels. I personally can't wait. :) Also with the Quinn thing- I hope they go somewhere with it, she is one of my favorite characters from the series.

hmmm. do you think Heath Ledger will do a pretty good job? I found a comparison of the 3 top jokers (the TV Series guy, Jack Nicholson, and the dark knight joker). I personally think Ledger will be the best.

The fact I see so many people bringing up brokeback mountain i disdurbing and not inthefunny way. You all need to gointo this film thinking of the Joker and not the actor. The oker has ha more origins than any other comic book character to date. This is unintentionally explained in Arkham Asylum, the ker is a man with a disorder which causes him to reflect all exterior stimuli back as part of his personality, thus litterally reinventing himself on a daily basis. the same reason ne dy he is a playful crook and the next, a derranged lunatic bent on murder. LAUH AND THE WORLD LAUGHS WITH YOU

i think he was REALLY disturbing looking the actor who played the joker was scared of his own charcter...so basically he was afraid of him self...thats SCARRRY!
40 - : ) put_a_smile_on ( :
but the person who played as the joker did a FANTASTIC job!

What a great movie. Definitely one for the ages. Even if Heath was still around, he should still be considered for an Oscar.
