I think it will be awesome.

He's got kind of a Beetlejuice thing going there, but I'm really excited about the darker take. I loved "Batman Begins".

wow they have really transformed Heath! im used to seeing him as a pretty boy...well sort of in all the Aussie movies....but such a bad ass so he should do justice to Joker!

Nolan has read "The Killing Joke" and the early Batman-Joker stories, so you know his Clown Prince wil be sick-as-hell.

can't wait to see this!

For some Joker fun checkout the Gotham Times online. http://www.thehahahatimes.com
I guess it's just a little teaser for the new Joker character. I have no idea if it get updated but have a flip thru the paper and see what he's done.

as long as they don't make him TOO gritty and realistic, it should be cool. i thought the first "batman begins" movie tried to be so gritty and "real" that it sucked the fun out of the characters.

any sequel without K. Holmes is a step up!!!

That may be the best Batman/Joker tale ever told. Although The Dark Kinght Returns isn't canon, The Killing Joke fits so perfectly with it. A 1-2 punch masterpiece.

I'm happy as long as it has a sick sense of humor.

My favorite Joker comic book moment was in Dark Knight Returns #1, when he proclaims on the Dave Letterman show that he's going to kill everyone in the theatre, casually puffing a cigar...then proceeds to do so (though it's called the Dave Endocrin show in the comic).

Even Paul! Ok, I'm getting in touch with my inner-comic book geek...

omg, i love the socks!

i saw that a few days ago. i can't wait!!!!! but i wish they'd sort this out too:

I thought the only downside to the movie was when it stopped being real, like that silly car they gave him, or the over the top action of the ending.

Can't wait.

Also, http://www.whysoserious.com/ is a viral marketing website that changes a lot and is a lot of fun. For the build up to Halloween they had a Jack-O-Lantern - with a Bat-Symbol mouth and a candle that gradually melted down to nothing on Halloween night. People were then asked to submit pictures of themselves dressed as the Joker for Halloween next to famous landmarks. Those that got chosen had their pix posted and are supposed to be receiving some sort of gift in the mail.

I am extremely geeked about this movie.

omg that is so kewl!
I'm really excited, Batman was the only comic I got into when I was younger and seeing any of it in live action is just... I don't even know, it's awesome!

More, for those who are interested:

This will always be the real Joker, but I am intrigued by the new spin on the character

Meaning?

Alex Ross is awesome, and a Justice League movie IS in the works.

That will always be Jack Nicholson in Joker make up, which aint necessarily a bad thing, but that movie pretty much sucked.

the Joker has always been written best as a complete homicidal maniac. Killing Joke, Dark Knight kinda crazy. Burton's was cool, but campy. I'm excited to see a good spin on him in the new flick.

I'm looking forward to it but chances are I wont get to see it on its release. I hope it's not a dissapointment.

Yep. With all due respect to Jack, Nolan's Joker will be closer to the comic version.
