First I would like to say that Christian Bale is a babe and he’s one of my favorite actors. I liked him in Rescue Dawn, The Prestige, and of course, Batman Begins. I can’t wait for the Dark Knight to come out. : )

And as far as Heath Ledger playing the joker, I think he did a great job, well from what i saw on the trailer. Jack Nicholson and Jim Carrey both brought something to the Joker character, and I think Heath will have done the same. : )It’s just too bad that he won’t be around for the movie premeire and we will all miss him.

I’ll be counting the days until the Dark Knight comes out!! : )

As posted by “Vic” about the Joker’s laugh: We do see him laugh for an instant in the trailer before the truck flips over. I really do hope we see more of his laughter in the movie. In my opinion, without the laughter, there is no “Joker”. That is what sets the Joker apart from any other DC villian. I do appreciate the more serious tone Mr. Nolan is accomplishing with the new movie and from what the new trailer has shown, anyone who is a “bat fan” like myself is going to be totally pleased and “blown away” by Mr. Hedger’s performance. RIP Heath! Thank you for leaving us with what I know is going to be one hell of a great film.

I loved this trailer so much I had to come back and see it again! I believe Heath Ledger will do a fantastic job as the new Joker. Much better than Nicholson (I did not like the stupid “dancing around to Prince at the museum” and his “death” scenes). I always felt that ruined Batman ’89. The Joker should NOT have been killed off. Stupid mistake by Tim Burton. No wonder the other films failed. I’ve got a feeling the Dark Knight will be better than any Batman movie before it (I loved “Begins”. I trust Nolan. I believe he is doing it right.

Yeah KEL he does look more like the Ceasar Ramaro Joker. I always loved that guy on the Orginal Batman.^
If I remember the Crow had similar type smile painted on his face.

Can’t wait for this New Dark Knight film!!!

After watching the trailer again,I have to say the Joker looks great!

Am I the only one who thinks the Joker’s “smile” loosely resembles the Ceaser Romero Joker smile,you know,like the red lip/smile/paint area a little? Just curious. Google a Ceaser pic before you answer.

I could not believe my eyes when I watched the trailer! Health Ledger is AWESOME as the new Joker! Much better and creepier than Jack Nicholson (although I did like his performance also). This is going to be ONE HELL OF A MOVIE. Can’t wait till July 2008! LONG LIVE THE JOKER!

Wow this new DK is packed with flavor…,!
^
I’m thinking we get Jokers story throughout most the film and just as things wine down its POW, BAM, KPOW, Riddler and Two-face! This is great news better than that last bit about Spidey…OMG!

Well,Steve,Cillian Murphy will be back as the Scarecrow,supposedly a minor character in this film,and according to an article in an issue of Wizard Magazine,Anthony Michael Hall is speculated as being cast as the Riddler,but over at IMDB.com they have him listed as playing someone named Mike Engel,not a clue who this character is,and IMDB IS wrong about things sometimes,but if he’s playing the Riddler (aka Edward Nigma) this might just be a phony name.

Also,sometime ago,and I don’t think there is any truth to this,but sometime ago actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was supposedly going to play the Penguin in TDK. Good choice,IMO,he played the bad guy in Mission Impossible 3 named Davian to a T. But I don’t believe that is true.

The Riddler and Scarecrow!!! Wow this is great news!!!
^
I wonder who’s cast to play those roles???

KEL — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 14:33:04 +0000

Yeah,I hope we don’t get cutting. That’s just really,really…..I don’t know……gross. I don’t see why thats necessary,frankly. :-/

The Riddler is in it I think,and Scarecrow is back too,I’ve read! Sounds like this is gonna be a fun ride!

I would like to see the batwing someday too,Steve! Maybe 3….?

Tumbler would have looked cooler if they would have somehow covered the wheels.
^
But overall it blew me away for the sheer believability of it.
This new batpod also looks fricken awesome. I’m still holding out for a Batwing in the film! :»

Watching the trailer KEL I think were going to get cutting…

Remember the line:
“All I found in his pockets were these (knives) and lint”.

Prob will be offscreen but we will here the screems. Aaahhhhh^:))

Also I bet after your post WB will start to ad Batman in the title.

I may dislike that “Tumbler” thing,it just isn’t the typical comic book styled batmobile to me,I understand the reasons for it tho,but I’m really likin’ that “batpod” aka batcycle!! It’s a badass lookin’ thing! MMM!

Guys,
5 dollars says that when you call your local theater for showtimes on TDK the recorded voice will say this: “Batman: The Dark Knight,now showing at…” instead of just “The Dark Knight: now showing at…”,cuz to be honest there are some people who sincerely won’t know what the hell The Dark Knight is,they’ll just know there’s a new Batman movie and if they hear Batman before the rest of the title they’re more likely to see it,providing they haven’t seen previews and can’t remember the name of “that new Batman movie”.

One thing that cocerns me with the Joker in this film is how he puts the “smiles” on peoples’ faces. Does he scarr them with a knife or does he use laughing gas like in the comic books? Hopefully the latter because seeing him take a knife to someone’s face will be REALLY sickening (yeah,he’s evil and inclined to do something as perverted,but can we draw SOME sort of line with his gruesome deeds,please,Nolan?),and may even warrant an “R” rating,but I’m afraid Nolan might go with the knife “smile scarr” thing cuz he might think that “laughing gas” is a little too “far fetched” for his “motion picture”. I guess we’ll wait and see.:-/

Rev,

While we don’t SEE the Joker laugh in the trailer, we hear him a couple of times… and it sounds perfect!

Yeah, I know what you mean KEL, I think it’ll pay off though. People don’t want another “Batman and Robin” “Batman Forever” “Batman Begins” “Batman Returns” ect. ect.

But hey, anyone else worried that we haven’t seen The Joker laugh, or even a smile yet? I wonder if all that heavy make-up hinders the grin we saw earlier this year.
