All I know is….I can’t fucking wait. “I believe in Harvey Dent” is a direct reference to Jeph Loeb’s The Long Halloween, which is one of the best Batman books ever.

The Joker.

Remember Cillian Murphy as ‘Scarecrow’? The scene in the cell when he uses the mask against the mob boss…a Visually stunning image and effect that stuck wih me.

So now, the Joker. Heath Ledger [an acting chameleon perhaps] portraying a mentally warped tortured being with a ‘chelsea smile’ for a grin. I think this will be good.

Why?

Because the Joker mocks everything. He could kill your mother and find it funny. HE COULD KILL YOUR MOTHER AND FIND IT FUNNY.

We are talking about a twisted serial killer with no apathy but a sense of humour………………….hA ha HA HA Ha ha ahahah hahha ha ha ha ha………

[N.B. A 'Chelsea Smile' is a technique employed by the gansters in 1960s era london...they took a machete to the corners of your mouth as torture and sliced through your cheeks to your ears. Funny Now?]

Yeah, I noticed that today too. It’s all part of the movie marketing campaign, so I guess we can expect lots more to come.

Here’s a screenshot of the site today:

Between all the HA’s are letters that when run together spell out “See You In December.”

I tried to view the hacked version of the site, but it gave me “Page Not Found” in red letters. So then I highlighted everything on the page and in black letters they have “ha ha ha ha ha ha ha”, etc. all the way down the page. I never got to see the actual hacked version of the campaign pic though.

He should have a big freakin mouf with crazy teeth that freaks you out when you see it. This is more like a “pity me, I’m evil” kind of face.

What happened to Guy Pearce as the Joker? A mad maniacal villan he would be.

as far as the make up goes.. its kinda a meh look for right now. though i will save final judgements till i see how he actually acts as the joker.

It must be difficult to try to work in such a comedic villian into what will surely be a more noir film than any previous iterations of the Batman conglomerate, Pre Batman Begins!

I think it is very apt.

Very apt.

I am more awed that Aaron Eckhart, one of the best actors working today, has a role in the film!
