You Joker…
That picture you see there is the first thats been released of Heath Ledger as the Joker in the new Batman film.
I don’t know about you, but I liked Batman Begins alot and am looking forward to the next one, however, this picture has made me think that it might be terrifying. How scary does he look????
I think this looks wicked. More Ichi the Killer than Ronald McDonald. He looks like a madman, like he ought to. I’m really looking forward to this film now. I hear the Batman costume is gonna be more fabric and less leather. Yusses.

Dunno about this Joker either. Very Ichi the Killer, you’re right, but also a bit My Chemical Romance video or something.
I assume Heath Ledger did a good audition because he seems horribly miscast otherwise. Apparently Sean Penn and Crispin Glover were up for it. I’d be more up for it if they had been. Especially Crispin Glover.
Not to rain on anyone’s parade…
