This blog I go to frequently has a total boner for the new Batman movies, and posts so much info about it that I'm so psyched for this. I haven't been this excited about Batman in years.

It's most likely gonna be a kick ass movie. I'm not sure if I can accept this new joker though. Heath Ledger plays the Joker this time around I believe. I won't judge the way he portrays the character before I see it, but lets face it, he's no Jack Nicholson. The original Batman was one of my favorite movies as a small child. And the image and sound of Jack Nicholson playing The Joker in that movie was just PERFECT. Like I said, I don't think I can accept this Joker.

I almost wet myself during the trailer that they showed before I Am Legend. It looks like they're finally doing The Joker the way he was meant to be portrayed: Maniacal, sinister, and evil as shit. None of that Krusty the Clown shit that Nicholson did.

Not the first time I've heard that complaint. In fact, aforementioned blog person (we'll call him Iann) hated the Burton Batman movies, one reason being that they made the Joker seem like a kooky ex-con uncle rather that scary.

Saw pics of the new Joker months ago. I understand Ledger has portrayed him very well. I had my doubts when they announced him, to be honest.

If Heath Ledger pulls it off well, he should get Oscar nominated. Not only was he handed a role that had been played by one of the greatest actors of all time in the original Burton Batman, he also had to overcome the stigmata of retarded 'Brokeback' syndrome. If he can play the role convincingly, I will be impressed no end.

I don't have that whole Brokeback stigma thing going on. I didn't see it, so only know Ledger from 'First Knight' and 'Sin Eater'.
