If you haven't already, click here to see the latest trailer for "The Dark Knight". They certainly are capturing everything that is cool about Batman and his evil counterpart Joker. Any trailer that uses the classic imagery of Batman glaring over Gotham City from high atop a tower instantly has me hooked. Throw in some cool cape action, and I melt like a seventh grade school-girl at a Justin Timberlake concert.
Almost more importantly, Heath Ledger looks like he captured the true nature of Joker. Ominous, menacing, and just plain creepy. No more pudgy Jack dancing around in an art gallery. After all, Jack did nother more than played Jack with a little makup on in the first Batman movie (yeah, yeah, I know it wasn't hte "first" Batman movie, but you know what I am talking about).
Heath appears to be the maniacle killer that is our hero's foil. Every other villain in the comics serves as no more than a stand-in to occupy Batman's idle-time until Joker returns from some sentence, vacation, etc. I hope this isn't a one-and-done movie for Joker. Let's treat it like the comics, without each other, neither of them exist in their truest/coolest form.
They way I figure it, if Heath pulled off "Brokeback Mountain", Joker should be a breeze...
