Everything we hear about this film just keeps getting better and better. Woot! t:

 

[The Fallen]

Everything we've read so far, Killing Joke, Batman #1, now Jerry Robinson, being used in TDK, all point to an Old School killer Joker. I like it, I like it alot!

 

[Mister J]

This is good. I like the way they're respecting the source material.

Didn't Nolan and WB do the same with BATMAN BEGINS?

I know that a few comic pros, like Denny O'Neil, had met and consulted with the filmmakers.

Awesome

I'd heard that they submitted the script to certain DC Writers for approval. I wish every comic-film director would do the things Nolan does. These movies are in great hands.

I can't understand one thing, will they use skinny Joker or not?

 

[Carmine Falcone]

These movies are in great hands.

They most certainly are.

Well, Ledger looks fairly thin. Thin enough, anyway. Thinner than Nicholson.

he should "do the Bale" and loose some serious weight. Fat***.

about Robinson: great news of course.

"He suggested the name "Robin" for the sidekick Bob Kane wanted for Batman " <egoistic bastard

Nice little story about Robinson... He used to draw the Lassie comics, and after a while he hated the dog so much in every chance he had he´d draw only the dog´s nose or tail...

Back on topic, it´s further indication that they´re going into the earlier incarnation of the character, where he was more a vicious and shrewd killer than a clown.

 

[Two-Face]

Great news, we gonna get badass Joker!

 

[Eddie Dean]

Great news.

 

[batman7289]

[batmaluco]

Great news!

Supurb! No school like the old school! This Joker is looking bigger, badder and better everyday!

What's with you about this? I mean, you ask the same question in every Joker topic. Is it like a secret fetish with you or something?

Sorry, it just worries me

Well, don't worry. You've seen pics of Heath. He's no fatass and he's no lightweight. He's about in the middle, which is perfect for The Joker.

So Relax.

Besides, theres much bigger things to worry about, like Heath's performance or The Joker's role in the movie.

 

[The Sage]

Ledger will look like Joker, there's no question about it. I do see reflections of some Joker illustrations in his face.

Well, actually about his acting I have no doubts.

But also, I am worried about his voice.

Hmmmm, I've never thought about his voice.

 

[The Shape]

I'm so pumped. Things just keep getting better and better...

First I wasnt but now Iam starting to like the idea of the joker going medieval on batman and actually doing some damage. They should have a huge fight, imagine joker sudenly pulling a sledgehammer and slamming batman in the chest with it, bats would fall backwards and crash into a glass door.

And what about that classic scene of joker shooting down the cops with two guns. I want nolan to do the "Raimi" thing ala spidey punching through sandman. You know have classic moments like that. I would love to see joker using things like the crowbar against thugs and mob bosses, eventually terrorizing the underworld.
