I like the way he was portrayed in the Batman Beyond (future batman) movie before he died. He almost killed all three Batman, Batgirl and Robin, to me that was the most evil Joker (and it brought out the best in Batman too) I'm sure this Joker will come correct though, they did good with Scarecrow (who in my eyes was always a weak character). Hopefully this Aaron Eckhart will be a good Two Face seeing he's Harvey Dent now. The animated series did have a good joker except for he was a pumk always runnng away frm a fight.

Have a friend that is a Batman Encyclopedia and was telling me I really need to watch the new one to see how well they nailed (at least in his head) Penguin and Joker.... Curiouser and curiouser.

Remember acting is not imitation. Sure Jamie Foxx can win an oscar because he played an excellent Ray Charles but we knew Ray and we also knew from "In Living Color" that Jamie's strong suit was impersonation. Jack BECAME the character he developed to be his own. Sure he had guidelines from Gleb's "Source Material" but he took that and made it his own. One of the best performances in modern film. I'm sorry. I'm sure Brokeback will do an excellent job however... He's got a leg up (no pun intended) with the work the makeup stylist has done in this phonto.

I felt the animated series gave the best Joker interpretation thus far, and I didn't care so much for Jack Nicholson's Joker. This look is truly terrifying, as it should be, and it nicely fits the visual look of this series. It incorporates elements of the character from The Man Who Laughs, which was the original inspiration for the Joker; I am curious as to how they handle his origin. At least we know this time they won't have him be the guy who killed Bruce's parents. This is beautiful.

In the comics he is always portrayed as a clownish pranster or a homocidal maniac. Usually either one or the other but rarely both (the animated series tried to combine both). I say that to say, there really isn't a "right" joker because the source material can't even decide how he is supposed to act. As for the darker direction on the new batman movies. I like it but word is that between The Dark Knight and the next Batman film, Bale will be playing Batman in a Justice Leauge movie. how could he possibly fit in a movie like that? thing about the Joker as a character is that there has never been a truly defined personality for him.

The purists will hate, but this is phenom... I love the dark direction Nolan has taken the franchise, and he is thoroughly washing away the taint Jerry Bruckheimer brought to the franchise trying to catch the "campiness" of the old 70s series. Let's get it straight, Frank Miller reminded everyone Batman is a funked up individual in the head and is truly the Dark Knight... seeing Heath disfigured + the viral stuff (iloveharveydentoo.com) is ingenius. Trust me, this combined with the inevitable 3 (which has Harvey as Two Face) will be the definitive Batman series. As for nobody topping Jack... depends on which "version" of the Joker you like... If you loved the cookie, demented prankster... then Jack nailed it... If you love the interpretations of Joker that had him as a sick and sadistic demented psychopath that finds humor in sincere misery and torment... wait until you see what Heath does under Nolan's direction.. Trust me purists... TransFormers and The Dark Knight are in great hands. This is genius… The purists will hate, but this is phenom…

Since the new Batman movies seem to be more serous and less comic like, maybe he'd be done right (and not played by Tommy Lee Jones). Jack was a damn good Joker, it'll be tough to replace him, but I think it'll work. Joke looks cool, personally I can’t wait for Two Face, because the other Batman Movie screwed him up royally.

In the source material (the comics) the Joker does look clowish but is not nearly as campy as he has been in the TV series/cartoons. I'm looking forward to this though. As long as he still has green hair, im cool its definately a departure from how we have seen the Joker in the past.
