Heath Ledger has discussed his new role as the Joker in the next Batman instalment, revealing he had a different take on the famous villain.
Speaking to US magazine Newsweek regarding about his recent casting as The Joker (played previously by Jack Nicholson) in the forthcoming Batman movie The Dark Knight.
Ledger told the magazine: I've been bouncing around like a lunatic for four months. I definitely have a different take on him, but I've yet to do a proper makeup run. It's on the agenda.
When asked if hed been practising his laugh, Ledger simply replied Id be lying if I said I havent been.
The Dark Knight is set for a summer 2008 release.
Nobody can beat Nicholson as the Joker...he stole that movie right out from under Batman.....
Instead of word-balloons such as "Biff!" and "Pow!", you'll see "Stiff!" and "Ow!"
Yeah, no kidding. It’s the Joker with a poker.
The casting on Batman Begins was outstanding (and the weakest performer, Katie Holmes, is the only one getting replaced for the sequel). The filmmakers also took their time with the story, building a good foundation before they jumped straight into the Batcave. It is almost unimaginable that the movie could have had any source material in common with Batman and Robin, one of the worst movies made in my lifetime.
Perhaps, but Tim Burton directed a real top-heavy snorer. And Burton has always sucked as a director; he's so over-rated.
Christopher Nolan's treatment is so much smarter and leaner.
I keep getting him confused with Heath Schuler.
So are they bringing back the Batman outfit with the nipples?
Holy toilet stalls batman, what are these holes in the wall for?
“This town needs an enema!”
You and I are in complete agreement.
The new Joker is a faggot.
Let me guess the plot. The Porker will destroy Gotham’s critical supply of KY jelly, if BatMan doesn’t show up with a whip, and pup tent, and wearing a cowboy hat.
Yep, they should've written a new villain specifically for Heath Ledger.
Next movie :
Batman vs The Shark!.........
The Horror...
The Horror...
;)
No ... Robin's more his type.
Roger that. Jack's Joker set the standard every comic book movie villan will be measured by from now on. Any other attempt to play the Joker is somewhat like painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa.
I agree that Beal is the best Batman so far, but having seen The Prestige, I think that's just because Beal is the best actor to play Batman so far. The guy is good.
Bale has been a very good actor from the beginning in Empire Of The Sun, when he was 13.
His partner from that movie played a marine not too long after BBack Mtn.
