The Dark Knight The Voice and Laugh of the Joker...

[Hole Shot]

My biggest issue right now is that really rough transition between Alfred's lines and the Joker's. There's a really awkward pause and it's because of the recording not picking up much of the background music or the more subtle audio. I'm sure it's a lot smoother at higher quality and that's what I want to here.

***** this teaser is only teasing me for the this teaser.

 

[sasquatchs]

Starting tonight, people will die

Don't get me wrong, I like the voice. But that's the image that pops into my head

 

[turtlefocker]

It was Joker not Dent or Riddler...

 

[batman44]

I love it and his laugh is perfect

 

[Symbiotic]

Sounded almost like Tommy Lee Jones in Batman Forever.

I beg to differ.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

I know how much people loved Mark Hamill's Joker and everything, but for me personally, Heath's voice is the absolute closest anyone has come to the voice I hear in my head whenever I read a Batman comic.

So naturally it gets a thumbs-up from me.

<- see?

Well, that's great for ONE PERSON, I'm sure Warner Bros. will be delighted. t:

I've always imagined the Joker sounds like Cesar Romero or Mark Hamill's versions.

But anyway, Ledger sounds fantastic.

 

[Rezzo]

I like what Heath did with the voice and liked his laugh as well so can´t wait to see and hear more of him

 

[Agentsands77]

It's a really different voice, but that's perfect. I didn't want to hear what had come before... I wanted an entirely different sound for the Joker. Ledger's given us that. It's as valid a Joker voice as any, fits the character quite well, and is sufficiently creepy.

I'm on board.

 

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Liked the laugh, but need to hear better quality of the dialogue, because it didn't sound good to me. Sounds similar to the bogus 'cards' teaser.

 

[Kakihara]

What I like about it is how rough and maniacal he sounds without getting all high-pitched like Hammil. He seriously reminds me of some whacked out serial killer being interviewed. Heath totally changed his voice. I just wished I could've seen the face while he said those lines, especially the laugh.

 

[Keyser Soze]

After thought, there is one voice that this Joker most reminds me of. Remember in "Batman: The Animated Series", the moments when Mark Hamill's Joker would drop his cheery, quasi-English accent, and talk like a common street thug? The moments where he "drops the act", if you will? That's what I'm reminded of when I hear Ledger speak here.

To the people who say it sounds like Nicholson, or it sounds like Beetlejuice, so what? I prefer a deep, rasping, reptilian voice to some high-pitched squeal. And it certainly kicks the crap outta that ***** "essence of laughter" voice from the fake teaser.

Amen to that, my friend

 

[keith_v]

Sounds like a lighter Freddy Krueger.

 

[Kakihara]

Strongly agreed.

 

[SpiderB]

Professional wrestler. A more light hearted Undertaker.

Exactly what I thought! The heavy breathing, the way he emphasizes the D at the end... sounds like a pro wrestler giving a backstage interview or something.

I don't like it.

I was hoping for Ledger's naturally deep voice, minus the accent perhaps.

I like the giddyness of the first half, and the soullessness of the second

 

[bstringer]

I freaking love it. Ledger is a brilliant actor. That voice sounds NOTHING like him, its soo....DEMONIC. its perfect.

I was hoping that Megan Fox wasn't going to be as hot as people told me, so I could actually look at the cars and robots

I was hoping that the TDK teaser trailer was going to be much like the description on SHH

I was hoping that my first car would be an Audi S5

I was hoping that summer here in Flanders would be much better

I was hoping that Jack Nicholson wasn't going to be reminded as Joker because he has played so many really great roles other than in B'89

I was hoping that, when the doorbell rang, Michelle Pfeiffer was at my door so I could get a kiss from the most beautiful MILF ever

 

[sglass03]

Count me as surprised - it sounds like a cross between a lizard and Michael Keaton in Beetlejuice. It's creepy and swarthy - like he's a greasy, egotistical jerk or something, which is good.

Actually, come to think of it, it sounds almost like Heath's version of Bill Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis) from "Gangs of New York." I can even hear a kind of semi-New York accent going on there.

 

[The Riddler]

the voice is fine.

 

[Crook]

Exactly what I thought! The heavy breathing, the way he emphasizes the D at the end... sounds like a pro wrestler giving a backstage interview or something.

I don't like it.

Yeah, that's a pretty accurate description of it. But I have a feeling this is a sound clip from the film, right after Joker offs a lot of people or something. That's the only way I can explain why he's panting, and doesn't seem to be speaking as he might normally would.

They did the same with the BB Superbowl spot, with Wayne's monologue.

 

[chamber-music]

The way he dragged out and emphased WORD did sound Nicholsonish. Looking forward to seing what he does with the charcter.

 

[NoName86]

I like it a lot. I can sense a bit of beetle juice in there, but Nicholson..no. I like the way he talks. It sounds Flamboyant and sly, energetic yet psycho! You wouldn't know that was Ledger. Can't wait for a clearer version to hear the laugh better.

 

[Wedge A.]

It's excellent, and I love it. Reminds me of Nicholson.

 

[Stotch]

Don't get me wrong, I like the voice. But that's the image that pops into my head

This guy pops in my head:

Someone shoot me, or show me a video of heath's joker with the voice.
