The new Joker

[Stupid Penguin]

Hello there.
Recently, I stumbled across an article about the new Batman movie.
I was interested, because I was curious to see how the new Joker would be.
Anyways, below is the first image of Heath Ledger as the new Joker.

I think it's pretty kick ass, and I think they did a good job.
It's a take on the Joker I've never really seen before and god is it creepy.

Discuss.

He should enter the beauty industry, I really admire what he strives towards in regards to make-up.

This is probably the best version of the Joker I've seen, I mean he's sinister how he's meant to be, and not just some overblown cuckoo, and plus Heath Ledger is a pretty unusual, but really good choice, here's from an interview for the film:

Heath Ledger, cast as the Joker in Chris Nolan's The Dark Knight follow up to Batman Begins, says he's got no love for the source material.

Talking with Dark Horizons on how his Oscar nomination has affected his career, Ledger said: "I think there's a new level of interest kind of thing but I haven't really acted on it, since the only thing I've really done since is this Todd Haynes film and The Joker."

Already a controversial choice, Ledger continued that ordinarily taking a part in a super-hero film wouldn't interest him. "I actually hate comic book movies, like fucking hate them, they just bore me shitless and they're just dumb. But I thought what Chris Nolan did with Batman was actually really good, really well directed, and Christian Bale was really great in it."

Ledger says he's looking forward to playing a truly evil character. "He's going to be really sinister and it's going to be less about his laugh and his pranks and more about just him being a just a fucking sinister guy."

However, his agent is happy with the money the role brings: "I'm sure they're super happy that I'm doing this, because this is the first time I've really kind of taken something like that, so they're over the moon. But I think it's just going to be a really fun experience, and I love to dress up and wear a mask."

No costumes have been designed, but Ledger says that "I've seen a few interesting designs on the look and I think that it's going to look pretty cool."

I agree completely.
Ledger was such an unusual choice but now seeing him I'm so excited.
