First off: Keyser: Awesome post.
Second: I think Crook's argument is the crux of the issue. We liked Nicholson. We'll feel guilty about liking Ledger. Nicholson racked up an impressive death toll, and of course he was a psycho, but during B '89 never did I say, "What a vicious bastard." He was charismatic, as will Ledger be, but I think Ledger might attract some less savory individuals. I mean, if Ledger's Joker throws a parade, who's going to go? Anyway, I'm rambling. I think Nicholson and Joker will share a lot of the same traits, only Ledger will put a more malicious spin on things. Rather than poisoning cosmetics in some farfetched scheme, Ledger's Joker likes to get up nice and close to his victims. He's still vain, but his vanity is imbued with a sardonic, morbid humor. Look to his first e-mail for an example of what I mean, where he talks about his boyish good looks and his charming smile or something to that effect. Things like that.
