  1. Wow, that Hi-Def video is just amazing!!!

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 10:21:08

  2. sorry i have to disagree with you todd. jack nicholson's joker is better.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 10:22:57

  3. omg im completly salivating. i can't wait for this to come out! these are 2 versions of the joker, right, the campy comic book style and this dark artsy style. i love them both personally, just as i love michael keaton and christian bale as batman.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 10:25:10

  4. Nah. This type of stuff has to be done with a little camp, like Jack did, or it comes off as too...pimply. This new series needs to learn how to wink once in awhile. For example, I hope they have some line in there about riding the ihopethismakesupformysmallpenisBatCycle...

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 10:27:56

  5. You're crazy. Nicholson did it best! This Joker has no personality from what I see here.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 10:30:14

  6. I love Christian Bale, but this one looks like a stinker to me sry2say.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 10:31:12

  7. Damn, my pants are getting real frothy now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 10:33:10

  8. Heath looks like he channeling Brandon Lee's Crow character.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 10:42:04

  9. i was just gonna comment on the crow thing. it looks like a ripoff of the crow to me. what a hack!

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 10:43:40

  10. even in the makeup I would let Heath Ravage my body.... yum yum yum

    By katie, on December 14, 2007 10:50:50

  11. Nicholson > Ledger

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 10:59:53

  12. "This type of stuff has to be done with a little camp, like Jack did..."

    Is it possible to not have a campy Joker? It's the JOKER, for crissakes, I'm sure there will be some silliness involved.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 11:01:35

  13. Holy shit, Heath Ledger might actually NOT SUCK as The Joker. I'm pleasantly surprised. Looks like it could be worth the price of admission.

    By Abram, on December 14, 2007 11:12:16

  14. oh please tell me maggie gyllenhal replaced katie only-half-my-face-works holmes. she can act circles around that talentless bitch and is so much sexier.

    movie looks great.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 11:13:39

  15. yeah katie holmes is gone

    By Ellis, on December 14, 2007 11:18:17

  16. yuck why is ugly ass maggie g in this movie???

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 11:19:38

  17. bc she can act
    and actually resembles someone who would work as a district attorney
    unlike katie holmes and her massive THO throughout the entire movie

    By Ellis, on December 14, 2007 11:21:27

  18. I think those who immediately associate the Joker with "Campy" don't actually read that many comics.

    I think that those who don't want to have sex with Maggie Gyllenhaal have wimpy penises.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 11:27:50

  19. I think people who read comics are dorks and people who think Maggie Gyllenhaal is hot are virgins.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 11:31:36

  20. Even better: let's just have a ridiculous looking joker with red lipstick smeared all over his face making camp winkwinknudgenudge jokes at the camera throughout the film to remove what little suspension of disbelief there might be from the audience and have Batman ride a moped so that gay guys and girls with psych 101 degrees won't be offended.

    By Gene Siskel, on December 14, 2007 11:31:38

  21. Heath is a pretty good actor but he comes off as amateurish in this, trying too hard. Jack was being Jack and it worked.

    Since they're going for a young, balding, syphilitic Joker, they should have gone for Jude Law. He would have nailed it.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 11:32:54

  22. I thought the Nicholson Joker was better too. That movie was so much better than all the ones that came after it.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 11:33:29

  23. "I think those who immediately associate the Joker with "Campy" don't actually read that many comics."

    Thank you for the compliment.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 11:35:35

  24. Maggie G is in the movie? Is she playing the super villain Dr. Melting Face?

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 11:38:03

  25. The only reason people like Jack Nicholson as The Joker is because they feel they are supposed to like whatever Nicholson does. Nicholson basically took Caesar Romero's performance and put it on the big screen. Sorry. Ledger is playing The Joke like The Joker in the comic book. A raving psychopath who thinks everything, including slaughtering children in front of their parents, is funniest thing he's seen all day.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 11:44:24

  26. I'll take Katie Holmes over that other nasty skank. She's a crazy brainless scientologist, but she's just a woman...who cares about what they say or believe, bitches' sole purpose on this earth is to look good for men. Therefore, Katie > Droopy Face

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 11:44:37

  27. "Heath looks like he channeling Brandon Lee's Crow character."

    does no one remember Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice?

    By won't hit that, on December 14, 2007 11:47:05

  28. anonymous 11:44 I don't think you should try to think for other people. People liked Jack Nicholson as Joker because he was good at it. The whole movie was good and Jack Nicholson stole the show. Jack played the role exactly how Tim Burton wanted him to and he did it perfect.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 11:47:51

  29. Lame. Heath is a fag, and ugly as sin, so I guess that works for playing the Joker, but this trailer looks like crap. I have been more afraid of my own shadow than of Heath is some shitty goth-wannabe-The Crow make-up.
    The Joker was never a fighter, he had goons for that.

    By Princess, on December 14, 2007 11:49:21

  30. Dear Britney,

    Change of plans. I'm going to be having 11:44 37 over next week for some fava beans and a glass of chianti. Care to join me?

    By Vigilante, on December 14, 2007 11:49:37

  31. Man, I keep hearing the virgin thing about comic fans. I wish someone would have told me that before I lost my virginity at 15. I'll probably get kicked out of the comic club now!

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 11:49:40

  32. Oh God the comic book nerds are defending their villain. lol Heath Ledger should go back to sucking dick and herding sheep.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 11:49:41

  33. Great, here come the hipster comic book anime-masturbating nerds out of the woodwork.

    Newsflash: just because this joker is "just like the comic book" doesn't mean he is better than Jack's joker.

    Fuck, to even compare the two actors in the same paragraph...

    Just because your fat goth girlfriend likes Heath Ledger doesn't make him worthy of this type of acclaim.

    By J-Bird, on December 14, 2007 11:50:36

  34. @ 11:49 your Laura Croft doll doesn't count

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 11:50:51

  35. Meh.

    By Tazznum1, on December 14, 2007 11:55:25

  36. i was thinking the Crow thing too!

    what's wrong with maggie Q? why is everyone hatin on her? She's HOT!

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 12:04:44

  37. It looks like the movie is going to be an ADULT movie and not so campy PG or PG13 crap , hopefully what they showed is not the best of the movie has to offer

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 12:13:13

  38. Oh no...just when you thought Batman retired he comes back to haunt us once more.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 12:13:26

  39. Vigilante, I would definitely let you and Brintey feast on me.

    By 11:44:37, on December 14, 2007 12:21:17

  40. Maggie Q has downs face thats whats wrong...

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 12:22:30

  41. Good job ripping off Brandon Lee, Heath, you fucking homo. 2 thumbs down.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 12:26:55

  42. Well, this movie doesn't appeal to me at all, but without makeup I think Heath Ledger is HOT.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 12:31:15

  43. How in the hell can any one of you tell what Ledger is like in this role from one crappy little preview? And to go one step further and say he's ripping-off Lee?

    Pffff.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 12:36:49

  44. And also I have a small penis.

    By 11:44:37, on December 14, 2007 12:37:55

  45. Any of you other bitch-hating man's men up for a circle jerk?

    By 11:44:37, on December 14, 2007 12:39:18

  46. 'Princess' is what daddy used to call me before he stuck the tip in.

    By Princess, on December 14, 2007 12:41:08

  47. I hate camera phones. It's shit quality.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 12:44:16

  48. Another silly comic-book sequel for silly small-minded Americans who will suck up and inhale any garbage Hollywood throws their way. No wonder the world thinks you're uncultured morons---you are. People are already salivating and lining up to throw away $10 for more cliched crap. You'll line up to watch Batman 13 when it comes out too. Jesus. Americans are so fucking stupid.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 12:54:19

  49. Awesome, 11:44 37. What's your BMI? I want to make sure I don't have to adjust the marinade too much.

    By Vigilante, on December 14, 2007 13:15:09

  50. @ 11:49:40 Slipping your penis in between two slices of bread with some Fabio butter as lube doesn't lost virginity make.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 13:35:47

  51. the joker does look a bit too much like the crow for my tastes--if they would just keep his hair slicked back more it would work--but for all those of you saying that nicholson's joker > ledgers'? a) you haven't seen the movie yet and b) nicholson was already firmly ensconced in the slow slide to mediocrity which he is currently mired in. as the years go by JN's joker reminds me more and more of cesar romero's.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 14:34:23

  52. Comic book fans are so lame. They can't be as cool as the people who comment on blogs about people they will never meet. Oh, wait...

    By Suck It Everyone, on December 14, 2007 14:39:00

  53. Maggie is a porn star.YUCK. I hope she is killed by the Joker.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 14:40:32

  54. damn. someone already beat me to the JN = cesar romero comparison. oh well.

    ledger's joker will be good because he'll be more like killing joke/arkham asylum joker--i love that he gives people grins by knifing them--there's a name for this, football hooligans used to do it in the UK by sticking a credit card in someone's mouth and then punching them so the lips get torn past their normal width but i can't remember what it's called

    and omg this site has suddenly turned into AICN and i'm terrified.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 14:40:53


  55. Joker looks like Beetlejuice and Im afraid it wont be as good and perfect as some hype it to be.
    Part 2 and 3 rarely surpass the part 1 greatness.

    Holmes has chemistry and looks better with Bale than Maggie. It is sad many are forgetting Bale and focusing into the Joker.

    By Enchanted, on December 14, 2007 14:42:45

  56. This joker looks lame as hell, Jack will always be a classic in whatever role he takes. but damn I love me some Christian Bale, I'll go see it just to see Christian Bale he is so sexy and intense its illegal after American psycho I am a fan!! I love all the comic book movies they do a good job for the most part from X-men to Daredevil I love em all!!

    By NubianGoddez, on December 14, 2007 14:45:36

  57. lol some of you haters are the biggest idiots. This Joker has no personality? He's supposed to scare the shit out of you, not dance around to Prince and make you feel good about yourself.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 14:52:25

  58. looks stupid way too many day shots and the joker? i dont think so he seems to be just some clown whom wishes he was the joker.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 15:27:25

  59. Anon 12:54:19,

    Have you even seen Batman Begins? It was critically acclaimed and a few magazines gave it the prize of "Best Film of 2005"

    The Dark Knight is with the same director and main cast members.

    Some of the ignorance on this board is quite hilarious.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 15:59:07

  60. Oh boy! Batman is back, this is getting me all excited and shit! :D

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 16:07:35

  61. I really do not get how people can make assumptions about an entire performance based upon maybe 15 seconds of broken up dialog and scenes. The point of a trailer is to give you a general idea of what the movie is going to be about, not give you the full idea of what each and every actor's performance is going to be like.

    As it is, I liked Jack Nicholson's Joker when I was little because I really thought he was funny and not particularly menacing. Even when he was killing people I didn't really think he was being all that scary. I like these new Batman movies because they are more like that cartoon that came out in the early 90s, that sort of neo-noir thing that is quite cool, I think. The characters aren't supposed to be campy (except for Batman maybe, I literally laughed out loud when I saw him perched on that fire escape railing in Batman Begins), they are supposed to exist in a hyper-realistic city. I like that the Joker seems to be played as an actual crazy person and not a character in a comic book. And I absolutely love his laugh, it's insane and scary.

    By Alicia, on December 14, 2007 16:43:06

  62. Can't get the video to play but the pics are fucking incredible! Can't wait for the movie to be released - hope Brokeback Ledger can pull off the Joker as he should be played - not some lame-ass in a purple coat with an inferiority complex.

  63. 'Princess' is what daddy used to call me before he stuck the tip in.

    By Princess, on December 14, 2007 12:41:08

    nice try, FAKE princess, but 'princess' is just what my name means. you are a loser.

    By Princess, on December 14, 2007 17:40:15

  64. Im more excited with Narnia than Batman. Nicholson is the classic Mr.J.
    Katie has class but Maggie has zero and I have no respect for Maggie saying the U.S. deserved 9/11 and America was behind it.

    By Cora, on December 14, 2007 17:57:44

  65. Looks great to me. Just please tell me they don't kill him in the end like the 1st Batman movie. that was so dumb. He should be in Arkham in the end next to Scarecrow.

    By Paul, on December 14, 2007 18:27:08


  66. I dont like Holmes but I end up loving her once I found out Batman's gf is Maggie Gyllenhaal. That's the biggest joke of the movie.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 19:06:33

  67. Nicholson's Joker was great at the time but Ledger's Joker is more in line with the comic's. I'm glad they're making him more of a psychopath.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 19:25:40

  68. No Vigilante! Don't do it! You KNOW fava beans give you wicked stinky gas!

    Oh yeah, and the Quebecois film school poof complaining about American cin-e-mah can suck it.

    By Vigilante's Other Anus, on December 14, 2007 19:50:24

  69. Hey doesn't Bale hack up the maid in American Psycho? Better be careful what you wish for, Nubiangoddez.

    Then again, he might help you with that damn chiffarobe you keep putting off.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 19:53:56

  70. Ledger's Joker is gonna blow Jack's out of the water. Most of you have no idea what the hell you're talking about either.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 21:44:33


  71. I was overly fired up for the movie but my enthusiam was down a notch when I saw Jake's sister Maggie in this film.

    By anonymous, on December 14, 2007 22:37:15

  72. Problem with fanboys is that they figure that they should dictate to the rest of the world how something should be. Transformers, anyone?

    Get a life.

    Do not be hasty on judging something from 2 minutes of pre edited footage. This movie has MONTHS of production to go through yet before its released to distributors, and unless you are footing the fucking bill to make the flick, shut up. Do not go to it if you think its going to be bad, and keep your useless commentary to yourself. Word to the uninformed, the Joker, was created before The Crow. Before you start talking about whom ripped off whom, take a look at some of the old Batman comics, you know, the ones before 1960 when the Joker became camp fodder.

    Also, anyone who has seen Maggie Gyllenhaal in "Secretary" would not be too quick to judge her lack of capabilities as a sex symbol or starring in a romantic interest. 'nuff said.



    By anonymous, on December 15, 2007 01:53:34

  73. I prefer Maggie to Katie. She's not really conventionally attractive, but Maggie seems sexier, somehow. Katie Holmes always looked bland and dried-up to me. It's so f-ing boring when hot actors are paired with "hot" actresses. Give me chemistry and hot sex and decent acting over the so-called pretty people any day.

    By Lynda, on December 15, 2007 05:03:17

  74. THIS MESSAGE BOARD THREAD NEEDS AN ENIMA!!! LOL

    By anonymous, on December 15, 2007 09:18:07

  75. Are you clowns serious? It has to be the same 2 or 3 people punching in these retarded opinionated comments. My Joker is directly from the original source material, not Romero, Nicholson or your saturday morning cartoon! And how can you say Jack is better than me, when YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN MY MOVIE??? Even worse, it's off a camera phone video with extremely bad quality! Bunch of conniving frivolous SOBs up in here! Hahhahahahahahhahha!!!

    By The Joker, on December 15, 2007 09:32:08

  76. Both Maggie G and Katie H are too ugly to be "romantic interests" in any movie so stfu, and all you comic book nerds getting your underoos in a bunch over who's the better joker are losers. When it comes down to acting, Nicholson will always be better than Ledger no matter who they're playing unless the character is a homo, then Ledger wins.

    By anonymous, on December 15, 2007 10:51:31

  77. 98% of the people who have posted comments on this thread are morons. Sad little people, bitching about a comic book movie.

    I hate you types. You ruin the net, you fucking degenerates.

    By anonymous, on December 15, 2007 11:01:05

  78. Now it's 99% since you posted, 11:01. Thanks for adding to the stupidity.

    By anonymous, on December 15, 2007 11:04:21

  79. Geez, if the TRAILER is this yawn-inducing, what's the actual MOVIE gonna be like? Why didn't they just put Jessica Simpson in it while they were at it?

    By TrayC, on December 15, 2007 13:46:39

  80. two girls one cup.....AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    By anonymous, on December 15, 2007 20:38:29

  81. ewwwww Maggie in Batman? lame actress and ugly.
    PAGING KATIE BACK!!!!!!!!!!

    By anonymous, on December 15, 2007 20:44:49

  82. Heath looks fucking warped. I would rather have a more disturbing villian for a batman movie than the joker Jack played, and it looks like he will do good job. I'm not one for camp, especially since it was verging on silly in burton's versions. Thats my opinion.

    By Melissa, on December 15, 2007 22:25:54

  83. So has this been taken down or what?

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2007 03:01:06

  84. the new joker is simply amazing
    i love the new dark feel of the batman movies

    By avi Roy, on December 16, 2007 08:28:21

  85. What we have to really keep in mind is that every superhero's arch-enemies are reflections of themselves. If you notice, all of Batman's foes are insane. Crazy. Mentally unstable. The Joker is the worst of them, simply by virtue of the fact that he's got absolutely nothing superhuman about him. He's just a man, like you and me, but he's gone completely unhinged. He has literally no self-control, and because of this, he can do anything.

    That is scary.

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2007 09:19:07

  86. I think many of you don't remember the Nicholson performance. Jack Nicholson's Joker was quite menacing. This was why his performance was so lauded. Yes, there was plenty of camp to the performance--a la the Romero take we saw in the 60s show--but it was all underwritten with deep danger. You understood that this man's sense of humour was completely sick, that he was a dangerous and evil homicidal bastard who enjoys torture. He might be loony, but he is in complete control of what he is doing--which is murdering a whole bunch of innocents and treating it as a joke.
    The neo-noir cartoon was amazing. However, some of you seem to have forgotten just how campy the joker is in the cartoon. Mark Hammill and the writers take on the Joker was very similar to Nicholson's in the Burton film.
    I'm sure Heath will do fine. As for Maggie G (not to be confused with smokin' hot Asian actress/former porn star Maggie Q), I'll reserve judgement for when the film comes out. She isn't hot, but maybe she'll work...

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2007 15:10:33

  87. So, does that mean all of Prettyboy's critics are just repressed homosexuals?

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2007 17:41:18

  88. Any word on my girl Harley Quinn making an appearance?

    By CookiePie, on December 16, 2007 18:14:44

  89. Looks ok

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2007 19:17:17

  90. anonymous 15:10:33 wins.

    By anonymous, on December 17, 2007 03:20:47

  91. The first six minutes of the movie has been leaked and it's legit!!! Check it before it's gone.
