She's crazy and sadistic looking, I'll give you that. Not funny enough, though.

 

[AlphaSnake]

i dont see how he ever was...since he wasn't even in that movie.. :lol

Uhhh, what?

Yes he was. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147800/

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Ledger brings the star power, but he would make an awful Joker. I hope it doesn't come to be.

yea, pretty much. :[

 

[Screenboy]

While id like to be able to say I trust Nolans decision, I really dont think he'd fit the part.

 

[Escape Goat]

Hes the goddamn Batman. Wont mtater who plays the Goddamn Joker either!!!!111

 

[hiryu]

I think Ledger would make a good Joker.

 

[My Arms Your Hearse]

Utter disaster...

 

[KingGondo]

The more I think about it, the more I like it. He's shown great range in the past, and it would be nice to see him break out of the "Brokeback" mold as soon as possible.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

My choice for the Joker? I'm going for headlines baby.

EDDIE MURPHY

Come on, you know you want it.

 

[jett]

**** that shit.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

"Come on jett, baby. You know I'd make a beautiful Joker, don't hate. He He He."

 

[Schattenjäger]

i think Heath will be great.. he was great in brokeback mountain

there are many actors that can fit the role in nolans vision..

depp is one of my favorite actors but i just didnt like him in wonka...i dont think he'll be that good as the joker
this movie is gonna be great!

 

[Escape Goat]

They should make Katie Holmes Harley Quinn :lol

*shoots self in the head*

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Eddie Murphy as The Joker, sounds like something straight out of All Star Batman and Robin. :lol

We all know who the only true contender to be The Joker is...

 

[Dan]

Somehow I doubt this is true. Wasn't Nolan not even going to start considering casting until he had totally wrapped up post-production on The Prestige?

 

[Duck of Death]

Yo! El Mayimbe here with un gran bochinche! A MAJOR SCOOP!

I just can't trust a man that calls himself El Mayimbe.

IGN is confirming it

http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/719/719898p1.html

IGN FilmForce looked into the rumor and can confirm, after checking with a number of reliable sources, that it is indeed true. There has been no official confirmation as yet, but we can claim confirmation of the "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" variety.

The final word may come during this weekend's Comic Con 2006 in San Diego, where some sources are claiming that Batman Begins director Christopher Nolan could make an appearance to announce Ledger as The Joker.

 

[Duck of Death]

I hate IGN FilmForce.

Not for this news, mind you. I'm fine with Ledger playing the Joker. But IGN FilmForce just ****ing blows.

 

[Escape Goat]

I hate IGN.

[DeathbyVolcano]

I read somewhere today that these reports are confusing his role. Some say he's not being cast as the Joker, but as Harvey Dent.

 

[krypt0nian]

I'm cool with it. Depp is not right for every roll. [i.e. Willy Wonka]

 

[master_shake_05]

Ouch, my pride


But seriously, this came waaaaaaaaay out of left field. WTF?

 

[Willco]

Man, Batman Begins 2 Experiment With His Sexuality is going to be loaded with gay subtext.

Yeah, sure. Batman is the least gay character ever created by man. Don't hate because they've turned Spider-Man into a one note little bitch

 

[Duck of Death]

O RLY?

 

[master_shake_05]

O RLY?

Please. Anyone can photoshop to make a character look gay. I'd hate to see what they can do to PETER PARKER.

 

[Willco]

Yeah, sure. Batman is the least gay character ever created by man.

Do not make me whip out all those 60s and 70s Batman covers, shake.

Don't hate because they've turned Spider-Man into a one note little bitch

Hey, Spidey's got good character actors as villains. And who does WB put in the role of one of the most inconic villains of all-time? Heath Ledger.

He is going to do Batman in the butt.

 

[Duck of Death]

How about when no photoshop is required!?

 

[krypt0nian]

Oh Duck...

 

[master_shake_05]

How about when no photoshop is required!?

Robin what have I done to you?

Throw in the towel. You have no idea what "gay" is.

 

[echoshifting]

I read somewhere today that these reports are confusing his role. Some say he's not being cast as the Joker, but as Harvey Dent.

Awesome if true. Ledger is actually a very solid choice for Dent in my opinion. Source?

 

[Willco]

Robin what have I done to you?

Throw in the towel. You have no idea what "gay" is.

:lol

He got you, shake!

 

[master_shake_05]

:lol

He got you, shake!

THEY TOUCH EACH OTHER WHEN THEY..... HELP EACH OTHER..... PUT ON...... COSTUMES?

Yeah, that's it. Nothing gay here. Move along please.

 

[Duck of Death]

Robin what have I done to you?

Throw in the towel. You have no idea what "gay" is.

And you have no idea what "subtext" is :lol

Everyone in the Spidey movies is ugly. Tobey, Kirsten, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina.....

UGLY UGLY UGLY

 

[DMczaf]

Even Penny Arcade knows Spider-Man is flaming gay!

 

[Willco]

Spider-Man cannot be held accountable for an alien symbiote taking over his body and haircut!

 

[echoshifting]

Did you just read that in the comment section at AICN, BrandNew? I bet you did.

If so, you suck for trying to start rumors out of speculation.

 

[master_shake_05]

Batman can't be held responsible for people trying to make the most ass kicking character ever a child molestor.

Robin's like a brother to him! ITS BORTHERLY LOVE!!

[Duck of Death]

Shake, you'll have to come to terms with the truth eventually:

Spoiler

But please for the love of god do NOT Yahoo or Google image search for "gay batman." some truly, truly horrible pictures emerge

 

[master_shake_05]

SYMBIOTE

Bullshit. In the comics/animated series he didn't become Hitler/Clayface just because of the Symbiote. Quit covering up for Tobey MacGuire's crappy new look!
