ShepppardMan..I'm incredibly excited about this movie now.
It'll be interesting to see what they're actually going to do with the joker..
to quote IGN:
""I see now what I have to become to stop men like him."
These are the words of Batman in the film's new trailer, and they are the key to the dynamic between the Dark Knight and his arch nemesis, the Joker. In fact, the original Batman film from Burton played up this theme as well (while also taking it far too literally and kind of screwing up both Batman and the Joker's origin stories in the process). The idea is that somehow neither character is fully complete without the other, that neither can exist if his foe is not in place, and that they need each other in order to live. What good, after all, is a Batman when there's no Joker around?
The Joker, though portrayed in the 1950s and '60s as a more harmless sort, is basically a homicidal maniac and a genius who has, depending on what comics continuity you're paying attention to, killed thousands of people (including women and children), a Robin, and crippled Batgirl.
Interestingly, Frank Miller's seminal The Dark Knight Returns has an aged Batman finally taking out the Joker for the better good, which raises the question of why the hero never did that earlier.
So one wonders how the Bat will deal with his enemy in this film, seeing as how villains are traditionally killed off in superhero movies. That, plus the death of actor Heath Ledger - who looks to be giving us the ultimate Joker portrayal in The Dark Knight - makes for an uncertain future for this cackling villain.
...
The point is you don't need to kill your bad guys every time out. Kill the Joker and Two-Face and you kind of render Batman useless. He's supposed to exist to fight guys like this, and besides, if you knock them out of the scene then you're suddenly resorting to second- and third-string villains in your next film."
Dignant_Pinksays...RIP to an amazing actor of our time.
10351says...I think it will be extremely difficult to find a better villain in any other movie for quite a while. The only other person I think could have pulled this role off might have been Jim Carey, and I just wouldn't be able to take him seriously. Heath Ledger really seems to have stepped up for this. It's too bad he couldn't be around to see the fans appreciation for this role.
ShepppardAlright, After some extensive digging, I've found what appears to be a solid picture of the scarred side of two-face.
*Note, it IS still speculated, but it does look genuine.*
If you want to see it, say so. I won't post it because there may be people who are NOT curious as hell like me, and would rather not have the temptation.

Especially as he's already played the Riddler in Batman Forever. Which reminds me of the Two-Face in that movie. Tommy Lee Jones! Whoa...
Anyways, seeing this...Heath Ledger...wow.
RIP.
Aniatariosays...In comparison with his other works it seems to me that this is the first time heath ledger has changed his person completely which is extremely impressive. Apparently the man had trouble sleeping after reviewing and living the role so intensively. I find such dedication and realism lacking within most actors today, it really takes you back to the whole Stanislavski method of acting. Alas I digress, Heath Ledger's death is truly a tragedy, my heart goes out to his fans and family.
