The Dark Knight

One of my favourite recent films was Batman Begins, fantastic film, the whole feel of the underground, dark gotham city was brilliant. It had a more comic book like feel than any of the previous batman titles and the follow up, the dark knight, looks to be going in the right direction too!

There were some pictures knocking about the world wide web of Heath Ledger as the Joker and he looked fantastic, kudos to the make up team. The joker in the comics was a psychotic nutter who was completely unpredicatable. Whlie Jack Nicholson's Joker was a good portrayal it wasn't really very "Joker" like when compared to the comics.

According to Slashfilm Heath Ledger gets it right, scaring Michael Caine into forgetting his lines!

Hopefully the film can live up to it's predecessor and outshine Tim Burton's orignal batman film based on the same story.

I guess it would be easier for the make-up artists if he played more of a zombie type role. Maybe he should be in the next resident evil?
