It has been confimed today that Heath Ledger will be the Joker in the sequel to Batman Begins. Thoughts?

Re: Heath Ledger Is The Joker!
Cool with me. I'm just excited to hear that the next movie will be called "The Dark Knight" and Bale and Nolan will reprise their roles. They're the core, no matter who else is involved. "Batman Begins" was such a cool movie (much props to Nolan for a great job!).Originally posted by Partial
I guess I'm a little concerned that they're going back to the Joker character. You'd think there was only 4 or 5 antagonists in the Batman universe.

Re: Heath Ledger Is The Joker!
I loved Batman Begins and thought it was incredibly well done. I like the dark aspect to it a lot.Originally posted by jack's smirking revenge
With that said, I think the Joker will be a really cool villain this time around(not that he wasn't the last with Nicholson). I have a hunch they're going to make him ultra creepy and deformed looking, but have everything be self-induced. Have his skin just have changed color to a whitish from being crazy, have the huge mouth be self-induced cuts, yellow teeth, etc.
I am confident in Nolan and Christian Bale. They'll make a good film. One of the things that I worry about though is how they'll fill the time in the movie. The last one spent a significant amount training him, but then again it was also 3 hours long. They also cannot go back to the childhood love story.
It will be interesting to see what they do. I personally look forward to it. I thought the movie was great, and had by far the most fitting music to it of any movie I saw last year.Comment

I wholeheartedly agree. Though a bit slow at times (and I really really didn't like Katie Holmes in the movie), I did think it was an amazing movie. The development of Batman and the main conflicts were very well done.
Nolan has never bombed. Even "Insomnia" was a thrilling flick. He'll do a great job with "Dark Knight". I know he'll do a great job with the Joker character; I just wish they were introducing an antagonist that wasn't already filmed. Nicholson's Joker was very entertaining, though a lot less menacing than I suspect Ledger's Joker will be.
But, the comparison will always exist. If they had went with a different antagonist, then we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Anyone familar with the Batman comics? Is there a different antagonist that you wish would be brought to the silver screen? There's gotta be some out there.

I always thought Cameron Diaz would make a good Joker, in that she has that insane smile and gaping, scarily huge mouth.Originally posted by Partial
