Batman: The Dark Knight

[roberts]

Release Date: July 18, 2008

Batman and Gordon find alliance with a newly appointed DA Harvey Dent to stop a vicious killer with a warped sense of humor known only as The Joker, a threat to both the good, and the evil of Gotham City.


I was just surfing on IMDB and found this. I know it's not coming out for another year, but I am really looking forward to this movie. Batman begins was really good and I would love for this movie to be just as successful.

Discuss.

Heath Ledger as The Joker = worst decision in movie history.

Although they said they wanted to make the Joker a much darker character than orginaly portrayed so hopefully we won't be able to tell it's him.

Batman Begins was really good. It's going to be strange trying to accept a gay Joker. Brokebat Mountain

I'm curious to see how Heath Ledger does. I'm a little sceptical, but I'll wait and see. In a few interviews I read about Ledger doing DK, he seemed determined to do his own thing by not studying Nichalson's Joker. I'm a little disappointed that Christopher Nolan will not have The Penguin in DK. Philip Seymour Hoffman was rumored to be a candidate for the role and that would have been awesome. He was great in MI3. Begins was a great movie, especially after following Batman and Robin, one of the worst pieces of cinema in recent memory. I'm definately looking forward to this.

Don't know if people know this yet or not but Aaron Eckhart is going to be Harvey Dent, which is awesome cause he'd make a good Two-Face in the future.

Aaron Eckhart is going to be Harvey Dent

I also like this choice. Liev Schreiber and Jake G. was also a possibility. Hopefully Cilian Murphy comes back as the scarecrow. We don't really know what happened to his character.

I think jim Carrey would do it, he played the riddler like he should play the joker. I don't think Heath can do the meniacal laugh that is the Joker. But hey if he pulls it off, im sure a lot of people will have a different opinion on him. Can't wait for this to come out!

I have no doubt that Heath Ledger will be phenomenal. Take a look at some of his pics where he's smiling ear to ear. Now picture the makeup and his fantastic acting and he's going to knock all of our socks off. He's said that they're taking the Joker in a much darker directon, and Ledger has the skills to pull off the Clown Prince of Crime. I think come 2008 we're going to have a new favorite Joker in our midsts.

Nay-sayers who are dissing Heath as well as Nolan's decision to cast him are the same sort of people who protested Michael Keaton playing Batman when Tim Burton first announced him as his Caped Crusader. They all bitched bitched bitched, and then went and saw the flick and were like :eek:

Of course, no one will know for sure how good Heath and Nolan's Joker is going to be until a trailer pops up online, but until then, i just think of how great Nolan directed Begins: It's clearly obvious that he knows what the fuck he's doing, so i have no doubts that he will again blow us away.

Aside from the Katie Holmes cast, Nolan pretty much knows what he's doing, while Holmes character wasn't that "technical" or really in depth so to speak, he knew what he was doing when he casted the Joker, there's no way he'd fuck it up, he sees something really great in Heath and I'm looking forward to it.

I would say here comes the Brokeback jokes, but, already happened.

Instead of re-casting Katie's role with Maggie G. I would rather have seen Katie get killed off in the beginning. Even if Katie wouldn't come back for a small part, her character could have been killed in between films. Batman does not need a love interest.

Love interest? Well he's always got "The Boy Wonder" at his side...
