Heath Ledger’s Joker is Menacing
The Clown Prince of Crime is creepy!
Here are the latest shots of Heath Ledger as the Joker and Christian Bale as Batman via AICN.
Check out this video of Today Show host Al Roker visiting the set of The Dark Knight. Roker chats with Bale, Aaron Eckhart (district attorney Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face) as well as director Christopher Nolan.
The Dark Knight has a tentative release date of July 18, 2008. Filming concluded last month.

too creepy!
scary!
He looks like hell 90% of the time anyway!
He looks very crazy :D
um he looks kind of creepy
to me he looks like he has found his true self in this)
I’d say he looks funny rather than creepy
Scary..Lol
I think the whole point is for him to look creepy guys, he is after all the joker.
But I still don’t get why him, there’s a ton of other actors I think, better capable of playing the joker.
Was it politics or what that got him the part?
That’s awesome!
Wow thats creepy. Heath Ledger is like the new Johnny Depp. But with actual talent.
I’m sorry but Johny Depp is 10 times more talented than Heath
They are both talented.
But I do have to admit that I am more of a Johnny fan ;)
That’s actually an improvement for Heath.
kewl…
i don’t like his makeup. i liked the joker with jack nicholson. his make-up was more.. clean, y’know? heath’s just looks messy. but still, i’m looking forwards to the movie. :]
Oh yeah, psychopaths are no fun unless they wear slick makeup and nice suits. So lovable!
Go get some bubblegum.
I’m ready for Heath’s version. The guy’s too good.
He and Maggie G. will ruin the film for me.
HE´S STILL SEXY : D
Jack will always be the only Joker for me. This town needs an *****!
Seriously? Censored?! Crikey.
Heath is a superb actor and will doubtless be the definitive Joker. Nicholson relied too much on the makeup to do the acting. His will be seen in retrospect as simplistic and one dimensional. Ledger will give it really evil vibes. I can’t wait.
What an inspired performance. Heath Ledger will be greatly missed, what a tremendous loss.
As an Australian, I am so sad that one of our own has left us before his time - not only a great actor and person, but a great Aussie, who loved his country and never forgot where he came from.
He will be the definitive Joker - he could do anything, and with such intensity and drive, it comes across the screen so clearly how brilliant an actor he was. Go and watch ‘Candy’ or ‘Two Hands’ (Aussie movies) and u will see what I mean.
God Bless Heath - all of Australia is grieving for you… we are sad we will not see your smile or feel your presence anymore, but we will love u always.
Sher
he got the role BEACUSE he was the only actor with a BIG INTEREST in the character , it was like his dream to play the joker that’s why nobody will top his play on the joker
i love the joker but the new batman suit i dont like at all
While not the most obvious choice for the role of the Joker, in retrospect, I think we’re already seeing that the part was cast absolutely perfectly. This is the added dimension that this villian needed… badly.
But the reason I took the time to write something is that it’s about time I heard someone else say something about the new batsuit. From the shots I’ve seen, I’m not liking it too much either.
Oh, and also, it wasn’t his life’s dream to play the joker as he did not even grow up reading comic books and never even considered himself a big super hero fan. Nonetheless, he nailed the character of the Joker perfectly.
If the joker was played by a mexican - would they rename him
yoker ?
Hey the first teaser trailer ! was ! The Jokers
Can you rename the joker?

does anybody else fantasize about him ?
Just saw Dark Knight last night. I have no reservation about saying that it IS the best movie I have ever seen. There are so many elements in this movie that were unexpected and so well played out by the entire cast. Never was a huge Heath Ledger fan, but he STOLE the show. His Joker is something God awful sCaRy! The movie world lost a HUGE talent when he passed away. Johnny Depp? Sorry - after seeing Heath last night, I don’t even see how you can put him in the same category as Heath.
I just went to see The Dark Knight, and let me tell you: Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker was completely demented and extremely menacing, but still totally freaking amazing. I think he deserved that roll very much, he was a way better Joker than Jack Nicolson could ever amount to. Rest in Peace Heath, we’ll always love you.
Loraine Filicia
Jack did do a good job at the Joker, but Heath definitely out-played him. It was probably the best acting I’ve seen in a looong time.
are you blind - all Jack did was copy Caessr Romero’s tv joker…what is so hard and “dark” about that?. i think heath was perfect in his role and no one else could do better, i dont think any one could act out a spsychopathic, schizophrenic, with zero empathy as good as heath.
heath deservs an award for his amazing performance
I’ve seen the movie and heath ledger was the best choice eva!!! some of you are crazy
oh my gosh , that movie has got to be the best movie ever i love it, i mean the scaryness of it just makes it like, awesome, there are no words and i love heath ledgers acting in this movie, so real
