"They're shooting in London, Chicago and Hong Kong. My next dates are in Chicago, the third week of August with Morgan, then I get to go back to London." He adds he's never been a comic-book fan, but "I loved the 'Batman' series, so Batman has truly always meant something to me. It's really been one of my dreams as an actor to become Batman."

i think this one's my favorite for sheer wtf-ness:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Quilt

created by Jack Kirby, no less!

Crazy-Quilt's sight was restored briefly for a time after he kidnapped a surgeon to assist him, Batman and Grayson's Robin intervened, and in self defence, Robin reflected the madman's light beams back into his newly restored eyes, inadvertently blinding Quilter permanently. Obsessing over his young adversary, he became one of the few batvillains to hate Robin more than his mentor.

HAHAHAhahahaha

Whoa Bookworm was played by Roddy McDowall!

called it

as in: i read the internet

Plus, Batmanuel (!!!) Nestor Carbonell is reportedly playing the mayor of Gotham in this.

I think that Joker looks pretty stupid. What's up with the smeared lipstick and the scars? I thought Joker was supposed to be an evil dandy clown, not a horror movie monster.

i think it fits, tho i grew up on the batman of 'dark knight'/'killing joke' moreso than cesar romero.

Yeah, I thought Joker was supposed to be a horribly mutilated mass murderer.

if you look at that picture closely, you'll see there are in fact some mutilated parts below the cheek area.

i'm still undecided by it though

I thought Joker was supposed to be an evil dandy clown, not a horror movie monster.

the evil dandy clown version was done already in the Burton Batman. the character has been interpreted in enough various ways to warrant doing it differently this time around. i like it, it keeps the villain in line with the "creepy" approach they took towards the Scarecrow.

This was the Joker-fied Dent banner that was hiding that new Joker Wayne Gacy pic. There's been a bit more of this viral marketing thingy going on apparently. Details here:

"see you in december"

but what happens in December?

I think that Joker looks pretty stupid. What's up with the smeared lipstick and the scars? I thought Joker was supposed to be an evil dandy clown, not a horror movie monster

Um, no.

Well, yeah, I know he's face was changed in a chemical accident, and I'm not against character revision... It's just that the image seems to imply they want to have a "darker", more brutal Joker, which is in line with the altogether darker approach they're taking with the new films, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing. The nice thing with Burton's films (and even Schumacher's) was that they blended the Gothy darkness with the essential absurdity in the heart of any superhero story, so they worked fine as modern fables. But as I said in the big debate we had about Batman Begins, I don't think Batman should be taken too seriously, which is why I think Joker works better as a dapper fellow who's just completely insane, rather than as some Hannibal Lecter type of psychopath serial killer.

Besides, if Joker has a mutilated face, doesn't he come a bit too close to Two-Face, who I see is also in the film?

The nightmarish visions of what the Batman Begins thread turned into are starting to recur...

> doesn't he come a bit too close to Two-Face, who I see is also in the film?

did the big Harvey Dent posters tip you off? 8)

that 'see you in december' is what the html source of that page reads if you scrub out all the 'Ha Ha' stuff. no idea what it means, other than 'wait'.

Heath's face too fat and round to play the Joker. Mind you so was Nicholson's.

Dude, with the exception of the 1940s-1960s, the Joker has always been portrayed as a violent sociopath, not a hilarious trickster-thief. I mean, look at what he did to poor Barbara Gordon. Playing the Joker dark and scary is totally appropriate and lives up to what (IMO) is the best part about Batman--the really awesome/interesting/scary villains. xxpost
