I’m happy that Heath is back in the swing of making movies after taking a break. Definitely seeing this movie. This is probably as close as a Ledger/Gyllenhaal reunion that I’ll get.

He won’t do it, the nice girl always survives. :) Hopefully, this time around, the character of Rachel Dawes isn’t so boringly written. They must give her more character!

i don’t understand how this movie is going to work, because in the original batman movie with michael keaton and jack nicholson, it already explains how joker came to be… and the character certainly wasn’t young when he turned into joker. so i guess what i’m asking is, were there two jokers, or are they just creating a different story?? what is the real comic book story and who is following it??? i’m so lost… sorry….

Heath is going to rock in this film.. He’s an amazing actor..just watch Brokeback and Candy and Lords of Dogtown.. His Joker is scary as hell too,elegant and messed up, but i might be cheering him on over Bale’s batman !
Making the Joker sexier is a genius move.. also this film has

Heath Ledger
Christian Bale
Arron Eckhart
Cillian Murphey
Antony Michael Hall

Maggie Gylenhaal
Micheal Caine
Morgan Freeman
Eric Roberts

in one film!! cant wait for the dark knight

Great to see Eric Roberts in this one too! Maggie will be a much more convincing in the role. She’s a super actress. So nice to see that Holmes will not be back in this one. When my husband and I saw BB, we didn’t even know who Holmes was. I remember both of us wondering how in the world she got the role.

Maggie’s face makes me not want to watch this movie, but I’m sure she’ll do a way better job than Katie.

I bet Heath would rather stare at Jake instead of her – I know I would.

The people booooed the trailer before the Simpsons. I only like Caine,Freeman and Oldman in this movie.Ledger and Maggie will water it down.

Heath Ledger is a wrong choice for the role. I like Depp or Daniel Day Lewis for the Joker. Is he slicing up a man or a grandma?

Thumb up Thumb down 0

Jokeback Joker is talentless. His Joker wont hold a candle to classic Jack and the voice of Mark Hammil. I agree his Joker voice sounds so forced and sounds like a hillbilly….the Dawes role is a waste obviously a damsel in distress and among the Joker’s casualties. Bruce Wayne in love with Maggie Gyllenhaal. I will buy that if Im drunk. It will be alright but a crowded cast also means some actors will only do filler tasks. 2008 belongs to Indy 4,Iron Man,Narnia and Bond 22.

I wouldn’t have cast Maggie or Heath for those roles. Maggie ‘great’? Lol Greater than Katie, that’s about it.

I don’t know why people like Heath.

I like Bale as Batman but he’s second best after Val Kilmer. If Kilmer has the wiser team of WB and Nolan he will easily whopped the asses of the other actors.

I also have a problem with Bale’s Batman voice reminding me of Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry.The best Batman voice is Kevin Conroy’s.

haha Matt Damon was more excited to be Spock in Star Trek and working with genius JJ Abrams than play Dent in TDK. The audience were more fired up with their reactions seeing Cloverfield tease than Dark Knight tease. I like Katie better as Rachel Dawes than Maggie.

Michael Keaton had the best Batman voice. And George Clooney was the worst Batman EVER. Lol

I was pumped for this movie until i found out about Ledger and Maggie Gyllenhaal. I rather spend my money on Wall-E & Valkyrie.

I dont think it will live up to the hype. I like Begins because I had no expectations. Spiderman 3 and Pirates 3 were ok but were not film greats same with my Superman Returns letdown.

I had no expectations for Ratatouille and it was well done and I was wrong about Michael Bay because Transformers is what Hollywood movies are about.

Superman Returns wasn’t that good because of ONE perseon, ONE person alone ruined that film… And that’s Bosworth, Kate Bosworth!

Orlando Bloom would of been a better Lois Lane than her!

Burton’s Batman sucks.

Don’t they have enough villains in Batman? … Just stay away from the ones, already appeared in the films!
Heath Ledger as Joker? Come on! … Even the seventy-year-old Nicholson would be a better choice.
