I think some of the comments being passed around are hilarious.
Tim Burton did NOT create the idea of Joker being created by falling into a vat of chemicals, that originated in 1951 (37 years BEFORE Burton made Batman) in the comic ‘Detective Comics #168′.

Joker had his skin colour changed to a bleached white, green hair, bright red lips and a grin that he cannot remove.

The concept of the Joker being deformed in this way is far more orignial. Rather than the elegant transformation that occured in the original and the comics, it’s a bruatal disfiguration and he wears makeup (rather than simply being bleach white skinned) to make this disfiguration more prominent.

This Joker is far more like the original Joker, who was a messed up psycho with the urge to kill, murder and maim anyone and everyone. He was incredibly intelligent and sly, but rough around the edges. Nichllson’s Batman followed later comics where he was more elegant and precise, and looked more suave overall.

This is more loyal to the old comics, so it is still loyal. It simply fits better with the theme that Nolan’s Batman movies are following. A Nicholson style Joker simply wouldn’t fit into this style and would be incredibly camp and fit completely wrong.

Plus why would we want exactly the same thing we have seen before?

You can be a fan of one and still enjoy the other. Just because you love the orignial doesn’t mean you MUST hate the next one. Be more open minded.

1st off, R.I.P. Heath Ledger. now to the meat of da matter. my opinion is why is everybody making a big deal out of the details of this movie. aside from the characters y’all should take a look at who’s directing da damn film in the 1st place. Tim Burton’s vision of Batman and the Joker, Catwoman and the Penguin are classic and i hope to believe that’s what Nolan was aiming to achieve visually without being a clone, but when it got down to those other Batman flickz….the ones that stole every neon like it could find and wrapped Bats up in aluminum foil, yeah, now those were the gay rainbow suits that should never see the light of day, jus the oven. now heath’s make up and Bale’s suit won’t be understood by the ppl who can’t wait to see dis movie…. i.e. ME and others as well until the movie comes out.

I am a batman geek. Have been since a kid. I agreee with some of your comments, and some of your are eiether 12 yrs. old, or just close minded. Look, I can already tell you guys that if your Batman fans, and have an open mind, you will love this movie. To compare Heath Leger’s Joker with Jack’s is dumb. For one, you have’nt even seen Heath Leger play the Joker except for maybe the trailer. Dude’s a good actor, and not a fag, just cause he acted one. In that case, I would be scared as hell of Robert Englund cause he’s Freddy. Don’t be idiots. And yeah, it would be nice if the batman suit (in at least one of these movies) was more traditional like the comics but hey, Cristopher Nolan is awesome, and so is Cristian Bale so, it may happen. For the mean time, quit bitching. Most of you that are doing the bitching are gonna totally change your tune when you see the movie anyway.

I was hoping for more loyalty to the comic books. They can go for the “realistic” vibe if they want, but I was still expecting the joker’s face to be twisted in a deformed grin.
The story may still manage to make up for it and turn out a quality film, but at this point, I’m disappointed that they aren’t following the comics.
I’m impressed with Heath Ledger, considering the only roles I’ve seen him in are pretty boys and cowboys. Props to him for going all out for this role.

And Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent?! That may well be a dream come true.

When i heard that Heath Ledger was going to play the joker i cringed and thought to myself “What are they thinking?!” But looking at the pictures he looks scary and real and i never realized how wide Heath Ledgers mouth was.

oh an i think the picture of the bat cave is the new bat cave and it still is underground just that the ceiling is well lit and low, like a testing facility for his new ride.

I think it’s funny that Jack Nicholson was “the ultimate” Joker until it came around that the character would be used again in Nolan’s sequel to ‘Begins’. Now all of a sudden “Jack’s Joker sucks and wasn’t true!”.

Just funny how wishy-washy people really are.

Personally I loved Jack’s performance and am very much looking forward to Heath’s performance. I think this Joker will be VERY different, i.e. more of a strung-out psychotic thug type. His makeup looking so amatureish only adds to the more gritty, psychotic edge to this Joker, imo.
