Those pictures look awesome. Heath Ledger's Joker looks better than Jack Nicholson's Joker.

GEEZ, GIVE JOKER A HAPPY MEAL,? LOL!

When iss the new trailer going to be online? Been waiting for ages!

i agree with everyone. lol. i don't know how i do i jus do it. i have to say if anyone were to replace heath why not michael rosenbaum. did i mis-spell. anyways he is crazy as lex but even then i still can't imagine anyone else. but do me a favor guys. go and rent or buy the movie 12 monkeys. with brad Pitt and Bruce Willis. brad Pitt is so freakin crazy there. reminds me of Marlon Brando meets jack Nicholson. we need someone new like that. not someone famous.

jee batman is very good this form, and this movies
batman is back this is truth!

joker was here

Ah but then whomever it is would be impersonating Heath and would be compared to him and not rated as the Joker. Nobody can replace Heath granted but thats not to say there cant be another interpretation. Heath is not Jack Nicholson and vice versa even though both are effective Jokers. I mention Crispin Glover not as a replacement for Heath but a new interpretation. He remains the most physically acurate to the original classic Joker look. Whatever though man I respect your view and have total faith in Nolan. Cant wait for Dark Knight!

No Crispin Glover would be awful. they have to be simular in build and look and be able to act as well as HEath. otherwise it will really be stupid

good one duke

Nana! Nana! Nana! Na! BATMAN!! Can't wait! This film will be great!

Christopher Nolan is the only essential element of the new Batman direction. Heath will be sorely missed sure but i'm not worried who takes on the Joker role (if anyone)as long as Nolan is in charge because he has given all Batfans the movies and direction we craved after the disaster that was Joel Schumacher. If Joker does return I still say Crispin Glover was born for the role but in Nolan we trust.

plus they would replace him like they did katie holmes

ya i hered that he gets sent to arkam in the dark knight but if he dies nolan would be doing what hes doing now he never said someone would take his place in the next one never so he might just die but who kills him batman or two face cause nolan said tha two face is a vigalante in dk and will be a baddie in the next

I have to agree with The Joker on that point. For the sake of telling the story, keeping it believable, and further developing the strongest characters in the Batman world, the Joker character has to be back for a third film. To simply write him out, no matter how cleverly done, would feel abrupt and people wouldn't buy it, nor will they want to except it. Now tack on the fact that Heath has passed on.... people will know the character was written out of the storyline because Heath was unable to reprise the role. Or at least that is the connection fans will make unfortunately, thereby ruining the authenticity that Nolan has brilliantly captured thus far.

because they arent going to kill off the Joker. Too many people are going to want him in the Batman films if they continue. thats why. Commarade

A more than valid question Comrade.... the answer is no, however the next make-up run I do, which will be soon, I will be shaving it clean off. Too many fans have commented on that particular aspect. So stay tuned and I promise to deliver an even more authentic Joker. The above pic is especially inspirational.

J2010, have you cut off your goatee yet?

Why are you all suggesting new Jokers? Are you retarded? It would make more sense to write him out of the story, leaving Ledger's interpretation in it's original state and move on with a certain reverence to the character.
And most ridiculously, Daniel Day-Lewis? Johnny Depp? Fucking MARK WAHLBERG? WTF?
It's not about physical similarity.
I assure you, after seeing this film, most will probably agree that it would be an insult to "replace" ledger in any sequel (which might not happen, regardless of this one's almost guaranteed BO Gross).

johnny depp i guess he would be the one they pick

i still like Mark Whalburg. he could be a good candidate of the people who are capable of playing the part

ya kurt kobain was 28 sad

yeah agreed. you know alot of people complained about the way that new bat suit looked but when the photos are darkened they way they are in the movie it looks bad ass!

that's for sure... Heath was all but 27/28 when filming Dark Knight. Still shakes me up when I think of how young he was.

no he is too old! you need someone younger!

That was a harsh comeback I dont think I can take the 3rd grade insults.

daniel day lewis for the new joker rip ledger.the dark knight will rule 2008 awesome fucking picture of batman and the joker

J2010, ur wondering bout new talent? Ur it. Seriously, i think u just said so people would say ur name. heh, heh, heh

i say Mark Whalberg. he has the shape of Ledger. i dont think he is quite as tall but simular features and a simular looking smile

johnny depp leo dicaprio timothy oliphent is that how you spell it? anyway those woul be my picks but have to see them audetion first to decide and plus watch the movie in witch i will!

hahaha yeah well its hard to think about who can really take over when we havent seen the whole thing put together. we just basing the new Joker off of the trailer. we need to wait for the movie before we can compair
