Heath Ledger will play the Joker. I don't think I'll know quite how I feel about that until I've seen it. It has the potential to be awesome. It also has the potential to be tragically, frustratingly awful. It depends on how he's written, really.
Please, new Batman movie, please don't screw up my Joker.

I'm just not seeing Ledger as the Joker, but I'm willing to give him a chance. He certainly wouldn't have been my choice, but he might surprise me.

I'm torn. Physically I can see it. And the fact that they cast a younger actor, along with the movie's title, suggests to me that they're going for a darker, Killing Joke style Joker, which is what I'm really, really hoping for. I just hope Ledger takes the character seriously and brings his own interpretation and doesn't just try to do a cartoony Jack Nicholson imitation. And I hope the writers don't totally jack up (no pun intended) him and his backstory. If these things happen, it should be awesome. But there's enough that could go wrong that I have fear.
