Heath Ledger As The Joker
I’m psyched about the The Dark Knight, Christian Bale’s second Batman film. Apart from the new Batsuit, I’m also looking forward to how Heath Ledger would pull off a villain played oh-so-deliciously once before by one of the greatest actors of his generation. I’m hoping, however, that Heath won’t be doing a faithful Jack Nicholson impersonation. Rather, I’m hoping he’d play The Joker the way Michael Rosenbaum plays Lex Luthor in the TV series Smallville. Cool, subdued, and unflinchingly evil.
Here’s a promotional pic of Heath as The Joker threateningto cut up Maggie Gyllenhaal, who takes over the Rachel Dawes character played by Katie Holmes in the first movie.
I just hate how long we’ll have to wait for this movie, which will hit theaters July of next year. It better be worth the wait.
