The fact that it's almost been 20 years since the Joker has appeared in a live action Batman movie does indeed make me more excited about this film than I otherwise might have been. Plus Ledger's performance looks to be spectacular.

Good stuff.

I like Pat Hingle alright, but I believe he was a bit miscast in the role of Gordon. But yes, I would have loved to have seen more of a relationship between him and Batman in the Burton films. As it seemed very casual at best in both final products.

Seeing Robin in a Burton film may have been interesting as well.

Also, I would have loved to seen the scene where Joker's goons take out Gotham's top tier gangsters which was in one of Hamm's first drafts.

I like the majority of Keaton's work.

Havent seen White Noise, or Night Shift as of yet.

I so LOVE the new trailer.

July cannot simply get here quick enough. 

I really want to watch Brokeback Mountain, but something inside me won't let me.  Immature I know - cause I know it would be good since I am an Ang Lee fan.

I admit, I made jokes about the film like everyone else too. But I do highly recommend it, raleagh. If just for Heath Ledger's performance if anything else. It is indeed awesome. And I can easily see why Nolan chose to go after an actor like Ledger following that movie. 

That's what I always thought.  Which leads me to another point - was there a scene (planned or filmed) with Alica being scared with acid that the Joker could be referencing?

I've never heard, or read anything about that scene being planned or filmed.

As dark as Batman 1989 was, especially compared to what the public only knew Batman as being the Adam West version, a scene like that may have been a bit much for audiences to take in.

But let's just say for arguments sakes, that the scene was indeed filmed. It probably would have been ultimately cut from the theatrical version. I could easily see a scene like that stopping the movie cold in it's tracks. With people talking about what they had just seen. Much like the infamous "Spider Crab" scene from the 1933 King Kong.

Michelle will always be beautiful.

Happy 50th Bday!

Such a shame. Heath undoubtedly was of the finest actor's of his generation.

And I can only imagine all of the great performances we would have seen from Ledger thru the years.

Upon the announcement that Ledger was cast as The Joker in TDK, I quickly sought out films starring Ledger, and I must say that I would highly recommend anyone to check out Brokeback Mountain.

His performance in that film was nothing short of mesmerizing.

Rest in Peace.

I always thought he said GOD!!, not JACCCCKKK. But if he had said Jack he could have been talking to himself in the third person as if the Joker and Jack were two diff people.

Well .....

Thereis the scene inside Vicki's apartment where Wayne begins talking about Jack, "Let me tell about a guy I know, Jack. Mean kid. Bad seed. Hurt people." To which Joker replies, "I like him already!" Implying to the viewer, that The Joker is simply going along with the game Bruce Wayne is playing, or that when Joker said to Grissom, "Jack is dead" he truly meant it in more ways than one.

As far as what The Joker is saying right before the "BOO!" line, personally it sounds like he's saying, "I'll be ok! I'll be ok!" over and over. Which may, or may not be mocking Alicia when Joker decided to, in his words, make her into A Living Work of Art. Because I can see how denial, especially with something that horrific, being one of the, if only initially, responses from an act like that.
