    Re: Batman 2 Discussion

    I like the idea of a more sinister Joker. He should creep you out, not be a comedian. His sense of humor should be funny only to him.

    In any case, considering they already mentioned the Joker at the end of the first movie, I hope they're not going to do an "origin" for the Joker, except maybe in flashback or passing reference to how he became the Joker.

      Same here. Its interesting that they're going all the way back to the Joker's first appearance in the comic, because if I remember correctly the Joker was a ****in' psychotic killer. I definitely agree he should have dark, dark humor.


      As for the origin, I'd like them to do it ala The Killing Joke where its mixed in with the story (ie: flashbacks).

        I really think Ledger could do a good job as the darker Joker...

        if they were trying to go with the over-comedic kind, he would've struggled...but if they're going with the serious/darker Joker, I'm actually excited for it.

          I think I have the original Joker story somewhere around here. At the very least I have a couple of his early appearances and as I said last night it'd be really great if they go back to a more psychotic and crazy joker whose idea of a joke is some twisted crime.

          I can live with flashbacks a la THE KILLING JOKE.

          Again as I said last night, if the title implies a Batman interpretation that mirrors what Frank Miller did then it could be WAY too dark for mainstream folks.

                Just messing with ya

                BTW I read half of that IGN article, not because it was boring but rather because even tho I want all the latest news and scoops I at least want some surprises.

                I know it was a speculative article but I don't want to build my hopes too much.

                  True it is speculative, but its essentially nothing new to any Batman fan familiar with the history of the Joker and anybody who has been keeping up with the news on the second film.

                    Apparently, there is a big chance that Katie Holmes will not be returning for the sequel. Its not official...yet.

                      I thought this was already confirmed, since they were upset about how her screwy personal life took publicity attention away from the last movie.

                        I remember reading articles about that right after Batman Begins came out. I figured they got over it, maybe not.

                              Here's an interview with Heath Ledger on what he's thinking about as it pertains to playing the Joker. Pretty short interview, but it's always nice to have something:

                                Hm. Good interview, although it was short. Interesting to see they gave Heath "The Killing Joke" as, I suppose, his background information. Pretty cool too with the 3D imaging of Heath's face. I guess that makes it easier on him when they're testing the makeup and look of the Joker.
