The Dark Knight (Mark ALL Spoilers!)

[Croyles]

I almost feel stupid admitting it, but there was a scene (I don't remember which) were the Joker freaked me out so much I teared up. He was just terrifying. There's finally a Joker that just embodies chaos.

Yeah, that was the main reason I loved Ledger's performance. The Joker before was just a cartoon character, nothing serious, I used to think Batman was kinda lame because The Joker was his archnemesis. Ledger just completely crushed any preconceived notions of a cartoony Joker and made him into a serious, frightening, twisted character.

What you have to remember is that the batman comics had A LOT of different artists. The first batman had a very dark and twisted joker (i think?) and also later when Frank Miller drew some.

As for the movie, only just saw it yesterday but damn!!! Best comic book film ive ever seen! There are so many great comic book films lately though. Sin City, 300, Iron Man, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, spiderman can suck my balls.

Heath was just amazing. So sad to see him go, and not just for this role.

For the record, I never liked Nicholson's The Joker, I thought it was pretty awful, and I think im not alone.
Danny Elfmans tune definitely was better, but wouldnt fit with Nolan's take on Batman.

According to IMDB, Jake Gyllenhaal was also considered for the role as Harvey Dent......
