VileSlay Posted May 21, 2007 the link at the end of this post shows the first pic of heath ledger as the joker. this was revealed via a two part viral campaign for the dark knight. the first site was http://www.ibelieveinharveydent.com, an "election campaign" website and http://www.ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com, a "defaced" version of the first site. the later sight had you enter your email and a generated code. you would then get an email with a url and an x-y coordinate. this coordinate would clear on pixel from the poster and eventually, thru mass participation, reveal the face of the joker. so what do you guys think of the new joker? http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=5716 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted May 21, 2007 What, no green hair? I like how it looks like he sliced himself a bigger smile though. 0 Share this post Link to post

AirRaid Posted May 21, 2007 This is a sequel to Batman Begins, right? I think it looks great, and very consistent with the atmosphere of Batman Begins. 0 Share this post Link to post
GGG Posted May 22, 2007 I had my doubts when they cast Heathbar, but it looks like he may just pull it off. This is the kind of look I had hoped for. Now all they have to do is get an R rating and this movie will rock. (probably won't happen) 0 Share this post Link to post
Technician Posted May 22, 2007 The Scarecrow is my favorite Batman character and sadly I thought his character (though closely comic related) was weak. I'm sure Joker has enough up to make a really good villain in the next film. 0 Share this post Link to post
Megalyth Posted May 23, 2007 It's one thing to look the part, but can he act it? Most people have a pretty specific image of who the Joker is and what he's like. As far as I know Heath Ledger has never done a role even remotely like that, not to say he's not capable of it however. 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted May 23, 2007 Woody Harrelson said the same thing about himself when Oliver Stone wanted him for Mickey Knox in "Natural born killers". 0 Share this post Link to post
Skeletor Posted May 23, 2007 Heath Ledger is alright. Where's the green hair though? You all remember Jack Nicholson as The Joker? I thought he played that role very well. <img>http://www.anni80.info/movies/images/joker.jpg</img> 0 Share this post Link to post

Mechadon Posted May 23, 2007 Yea, I personally like the Jack Nicholson version of the Joker. Though the Heath version isn't bad either. 0 Share this post Link to post
Searcher Posted May 24, 2007 The new one, Heath, does look a bit creepy, not funny. Jack looked almost exactly like the joker from the comics of 30 years ago. And what is a joker that is not funny? 0 Share this post Link to post

VileSlay Posted May 25, 2007 just an update. the site ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com has been changed. if you go the site now it's just a black page with "page not found" in red, but if you highlight the entire page it is filled with laughter (ha ha ha in different sizes and cases). mixed in with the laughter is a string of letters that spell "see you in december". the publicity company that made the harvey dent website have already registered seeyouindecember.com. I agree with the bulk of you guys who say that jack was a great joker. he had that nice mix of humor, sadism, and pure insanity. cesar was great as well, especially the way he completely over acted the part and his laugh was great. I actually like the joker, voiced by mark hammil, from the batman the animated series that was put out in the 90's the best. he was hilarious, sadistic, and he had awesome gags and props. 0 Share this post Link to post
Scabbed Angel Posted June 3, 2007 He will have green hair, as confirmed by this recently released set pic: ttp://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0468569/Ss/0468569/ProductionShot.jpg.html?path=gallery&path_key=0468569 In hindsight, it's not that I didn't care for Jack's performance exactly, I just think Burton could have afforded to actually read the comic that his movie was based on.. Until Nolan, I had lost my faith of a decent, fairly accurate representation of Batman on film. I can't wait to see what Nolan will do with the Joker, and how Ledger will portray him. 0 Share this post Link to post
geo Posted June 3, 2007 After seeing Batman Returns... I mean the last Batman movie, its a darker tone. I would say the new Joker is one of those sadistic people that feels he is funny... but no one else thinks he is funny... like a kid that blows up a rabbit with an M80 then laughs for days about it. The original Joker in any form was just a ha ha funny silly, goofy nutball. Like the kind you find in cartoons or comics :-) 0 Share this post Link to post
