The Dark Knight (SPOILERS)

[Tripe]

I'm trying to work out what it means in context. I know it means a mistake or something but even then it seems a really stupid basis for a story.

[the long undertow]

We had a project in sixth grade where we had to design a robot and tell the class about it or some nonsense.  One particularly sheltered girl named her robot "Boner" and that was pretty much the end of class that day.  Jerk teacher got mad at a room full of sixth-graders for laughing, as if you can expect any other sort of reaction from kids over something like that.

You know, I think I may have actually READ that comic when I was a kid? If memory serves, it had something to do with them trying to outdo each other in terms of blunders - like it was some kind of popularity contest or something, getting in the paper for making the biggest mistake during the execution of their duties / crimes. It was very bizarre.

...

Oh man, that website is too much!
I must've spent nearly 20minutes laughing out loud at some of those pictures...

Yeah the website is one of my favorites. Shame of the Superson will be the name of my second album.

Well it seems an easy with for the Dark knight , he just needs to send a school bus driven by a nun off a bridge, I doubt the Joker could top that one. They were really scraping the bottom of the barrel with that one weren't they?

Well that's different...

Not sure yet, I'll have to reserve judgment for now too.  Thus far though the 90's animated series Joker looks like it'll remain my favorite incarnation

[Monkey_Boy]

When I heard they wanted to make The Joker "scary looking", I can't tell you the lengths of my disappointment.   The Joker's personality is what makes him scary, not his appearance! What's scarier than someone who thinks it's funny when people die?! However, upon hearing what his voice is going to sound like in the teaser trailer! , it got me thinkin' he just might be able to pull it off! I think it may be a matter of lighting when it comes to the make-up. I doubt they're going to show him in a completely lit room.

Played by none other than Luke Skywalker, himself, Mark Hammill! I couldn't believe he did that voice! He really did a fantastic job with that character.

[SmilinJackRoss]

I think Ledger's Joker looks fantastic, I'll be surprised if he can't pull it off.

I've never agreed more with anyone as I agree with both of you. The Animated Series Joker is, to date, my favorite version of all time. I may have mentioned this before, but I love the story Mark Hammill tells of practicing the Joker voice in his car on his way home. He said he got some very strange looks.

  I've got nothing but high hopes for this movie. I hope Ledger plays the Joker Miller style.

I love how Mark Hammill ends up in the oddest places voice wise, I didn't know he was Joker for several years after I started watching the show.  He's also just recently played Hanukkah Zombie in the new Futurama movie, and of all things he played Ricochet Rabbit in an episode of Harvey Birdman.  The man is brilliant.

I know, that's weird isn't it... it's funny how he actually manages to go from Winnie The Pooh to Metalocalypse!

  It's also funny that he's made himself a far more solid voice acting career than an actual on camera acting career. I say this with 1) utmost respect for Mark Hammil because I think he's a great guy and 2) for the voice acting field. Those guys/gals don't get enough credit and/or respect.

  I guess when you get typecasted to death, the recording booth can be your salvation.

agreed and agreed, I've often dreamed of getting into voice acting myself.  Also Mark's another person I respect the hell out of because he doesn't take himself seriously, how many times has he openly mocked himself by voicing himself or Luke between Family Guy, Simpsons, Robot Chicken etc?

back on topic though, I really do have high hopes for this movie.  The only thing I'm really unsure of as far as the Joker is the look.  If the rest of Ledger's performance is on par with what was on the trailer he's going to be awesome.  Seriously, that trailer gave me chills.

[FordPrefect]

Well, I'm still looking forward to this movie.

But I have to say, I really still believe that Batman: The Animated Series is the best incarnation of Batman I've ever seen. Ever.  Same with his villains.

I have to agree with you. The changes they made to Mr. Freeze really gave the character depth. I love Mark Hamill's Joker. I was just watching the PG-13 version of "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker" again earlier this week. Great movie.
