"The Dark Knight"

with Heath Ledger as The Joker.

Nice title. Better than "Batman Continuums"

I can buy Ledger. Less OTT camp than Jack. Beats the bloody Chris Ecclestone rumour. Can see why people might be concerned, though.

Yeah I can see that too- especially if they're taking the Joker right from 'roots' as a petty hood driven to crime to feed his young family, who then die in a car accident, before his ultimate end in the chemical factory. Let's hope it's as good as Batman begins!

i was hoping for 'A bit more Bats'.

not sure about Ledger, although i suppose he is recognised as having a bit more gravitas post Brokeback.

that said i am strugging to think of an ideal candidate - maybe Sam Rockell, he'd be pretty good i think.

She doesn't even need to play anything. She can just stand there.

Interesting choice, but I think it will work.

Batman needs to lose the scary voice though. Rein it in a bit.

Holy crap! That's 5 for 5!

Background story to this outburst:

When I were a young'un at skewl, not too long after t' first Batman fillum came owt, a friend of mine gave his predictions on what villains would appear in the next 5.

So far, he's been right on the money.

Although, according to him, Batman dies (or alternatively, Bruce Wayne retires through injury, etc.) in #6, only to return for #7.

This would've been a year or two before the comics brought out Knightfall, so he didn't just use his ability to acquire US mags and regurgitate Azbats to amaze his friends.

Then again, it's also all pretty predictable.

Hmm, not a bad choice. Thought it would be even better if they used Mark Hamill's voice WITH Ledger... Bwahahahaha!

I'm curious about Dark Knight.... begins was the best Batman movie so far (not animated movie, that is). And I hope we won't see Robin or Batgirl in the triology. Maybe later we can have another Triology where Robin enters... but right now, Batman's hardly esablished in Gotham, Gordon's only a liutenant.

And I hope we'll get Harvey Bullock too... face it, he's a must-have.

Far as I can tell they're basically following Batman: Year 1 and Batman: Year 2, so hopefully no sidekicks for a while

Batman is very much just the lone vigilante for those stories.

I think Batman works better alone really.

Ledger is a curious choice but I will remain hopeful.

I think he has the face that can be made into a pretty frighetning Joker with some makeup...

I hope they'll stay with the purple suit, though. It can be dark purple, anything, but please, don't make him look like the Joker in 'The Batman' series!

I think Ledger is massively underrated. Twenty years from now we'll look back on him as the best actor of this generation. Everything I've seen him in, even when it had the potential for massive stupidity, he pulled up a bit. Four Feathers, 10 Things I Hate About You, etc, etc...

I love the title - and I know nothing about Ledger.

Man what a ****** post
