The Dark Knight - Batman Begins sequel

Personally I loved the last Batman film. The car was a bit shit in my opinion but the rest was great. And a nice come-back after the shameful efforts that came between the first two and Batman Begins. Perhaps number three wasn't so bad.

Anyway this is the new Joker:

Looks like Brando in Apocalypse Now had too much cherryade. But quite unnerving and certainly very different from the camp Nicholson version. Not that I'm complaining, I still love that film.

I don't know, that looks a little too "Street" for me.

They should've hired Mark Hamil. He totally has the definitive voice of the Joke, and tt's not like he's doing anything right now, anyway.

Interesting, I'd have gone more for someone like this guy:

halfway between laughable and nasty.

Well I'm certainly looking forward to this one! Loved the last one, and felt it to be more of a return to the darker original 2, although obviously without the Tim Burton influence.

This was my first thought, too.

I guess great sick minds think alike.

It'll need some Bruce Campbell to really shine.

I suppose I really should see the last film some time.

Agreed, I think it looks ace. Joker was supposed to have been disfigured in an accident involving chemical/toxic substances - for me all the previous Jokers have been a bit too "symmetrical".

I hope Ledger plays him well. I've always thought that Joker has the capacity to be a truly scary super-villain. He might not have super powers or anything like that, but he is one twisted fucker.

very this

I have high hopes. I like that they are clearly not just trying to recreate the Joker of the older films, I think Ledger will be able to do the scary loon quite well.

A new trailer, looks interesting:

Still about 6 months to wait though, it'd better be worth it.

I'm really looking forward to this film. I too love the original two Tim Burton films, and thought that Batman Begins was ace.

You've just helped me decide what I'll be watching this afternoon.

Fix'd

On that note, I swept Batman Begins a while back to try it out on my PSP. Imagine my surprise when I fired it up on the bus to find that what the host had called Batman Begins was actually a poo-fetish movie. The chinese lady sat next to me was visibly shocked.

X 100

on topic: i've never seen batman begins, but i'm really looking forward to this one, (i'll give batman begins a viewing first though)
somehow, i always believed heath ledger could make it big. i still believe he can, but he'll have to prove it with this film.

Obviously she doesn't know you very well, then.

That's 6 minutes of the film isn't it? I'd rather wait, also it's cam.

Rather looking forward to this, big fan of begins and the original Burton ones.

I hope the joker will be more like he was in some of the "grittier" graphic novels that i remember reading a few years back which gave me the willies.

[edit]

From the trailer, thats most likely
