Been a Batman fan since I was a kid (30 years ago) and have seen more variations in costumes and such than I can count, so the re-invention in the way the characters and the equipment look doesn't bother me. IMO, Bale is the best yet at being Batman, though I think I liked Keaton better as Wayne. I don't think Bale and Nolan have the core character down well, though. For a guy who watched his parents get shot to death, Bale's Batman has unbelievably little regard for property damage and how many innocents might get killed while he's doing stuff like bouncing the Batmobile across the rooftops of Gotham.

But after seeing the first one I would imagine this should be just as good, if not better. Joker may look good, but sounds kinda whiny from what I have heard so Far, hopefully that will pass.

Ledger looks phenominal! In the old comics the joker just didn't fit in with the other characters, his dimensions were out of whack, the smile and chin were just so long and drawn. It was freaky, like he didn't quite occupy the same universe. Ledger looks demonic, the way the Joker should, and he's got chops... so chill out boys and girls. I'm sure it'll be a great continuation, even if it doesn't fulfil every last hope and desire.

BAtman BEgins was the best batman movie to date, thanks to Nolan & Bale. It's been the closest thing realated to the comics, with enough realism to attract those who aren't even fans.... JOKER LOOKS GREAT!!! & lets all stop compairing him to JACK NIC... because tha was a Joker completely inspired by Ceasar Romeros Joker in the OLD ASS SLAPHAPPY BATMAN SHOW!!! Tha's no where related to the Graphic Novels of the DARK KNIGHT, and by far SUPER CHEEZY!!! BIG UP's TO HEATH!!!!

His only dialogue any of us has heard are a few sentences in a trailer. In response to Rusty, how do you know he hasd no sense of humor.

Can't believe they get on here and gripe about the way the Joker looks. Makes me laugh.....they are really mad! HAHHAHAH This is why Nolan didn't make the Joker like the comic book, or like Jack Nicholson.....IT'S BECAUSE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE!!!! PEOPLE WILL WANT A DIFFERENT TYPE OF CHARACTER! But, with the same qualities! Nerds...LOL LOL, nerds! Can’t believe they get on here and gripe about the way the Joker looks. Makes me laugh…..they are really mad!

Calm down, bat-fanboys. It's always the same complaints. Save the rants till after the movie screens.

The Joker, especially. His origin wasn´t revealed for a long time after his introduction, and it's been changed a number of times. As said in the Killing Joke, "I prefer multiple pasts". As for Pete complaining about Nolan messing with the comics, maybe he missed that Burton had the Joker kill Batman's parents, and that the Nicholson Joker was old and portly as opposed to, say, every representation of him in the comics.

The Joker was never shot in the face and scarred with a permanent grin in the comics. He simply fell in chemicals which bleached his skin white and his hair green. I think the Joker pics above look pretty damn evil and I like it. The Joker played by Jack Nicholson was re-imagined and from the sound of it, everyone liked it.
