Same with a woman I used know that has the email address of "spider-woman," which has been around since the '80s, so that name technically isn't copyrighted either. A
nd yes, I've seen his myspace page, and we're now friends on that site.
you do know we already have a "clown prince", right? he's right here on M/W.
jk. I think the joker will have more focus than Dent thou.
Plus, he's being advertised like the main character in the movie, and sure, since this ain't an origin story, then they won't spend as much time on Batman as they will on Joker & Harvey Dent. Although, as I've said before, considering the amount of scenes that Joker's depicted appearing in in the trailer, then he may not be a central character at all, and this hype could end up being like the hype on Darth Maul for Episode I which had a less than pleasing role for the guy that was advertised like he was the main villain in the prequel trilogy. The same could be of Joker, cuz let's look back at the sequences he's depicted in:
1) the bank robbery
2) the burn pile of cash
3) the party
4) the jail cell
5) the interrogation room
6) the police squad car
7) the hospital
8) the basement of mobsters
9) the truck chase
10) the Batpod standoff
Now I know that sounds like a lot, but 9&10 go together as proven by the truck crash ending said chase and leading into the standoff. #s 4/5/&6 all take place in that order and time frame. #s 1&8 have to happen in the beginning since he's gotta pitch his plan to the mobsters BEFORE the whole film takes off. #2 can happen at anytime. #3 comes before Joker's arrest (based on how ticked off Batman is with him when he's only robbed a bank, so throwing Rachel out a window would certainly piss him off. Plus he reveals his plan IN the interrogation room, meaning that #7 happens sometime after his escape).
Now when you consider the order of events, and picture them being intertwined with Batman & Harvey Dent's story-line in a 150 minute movie no less, then this can mean a few things:
1) Joker is a foreboding presence w/out a bunch of scenes (as exploding buildings at random are plenty terrifying to convince people that he's a foreboding presence).
2) The sequences we've been shown are only just under the tip of the iceberg in regards to how large his role really is.
Or 3) He's the lead villain, and is the focus of the story, but doesn't require a bunch of scenes to get that point across (like Henri Ducard in "Begins").
But in the end, this film was not named "The Clown Prince." It was named "The Dark Knight." Which as I said before implies that Batman WILL cross the line from hero to vigilante to stop Joker and the mobsters. And that can account for the reasons I've given about the role of Joker (minimum or not) in this film.
Maybe there doesn't have to be a third batman movie. Since everyone is so conflicted over what villains could be in the movie, why not just make an "Arkham Asylum" movie?
