    An excellent trailer for what I hope will be an excellent movie. And perhaps, finally, the first ‘real’ Joker to ever grace the silver screen. I have my fingers crossed that Nolan and Leadger have the guts to really bring that madman to life. So far, it looks incredible.

  4. Gravatar

    I love this trailer. he IS the joker! It’s even better than the youtube bootleg lol

  5. Gravatar

    This movie is so different than what I expected. This is the jokers movie. Lint and knives, you cant beat it.

  6. Gravatar

    nice, but…..

    where is Aaron Eckhart ?

  7. Gravatar

    Incredible. Can’t wait for July 18th. Should be a great summer for movies with The Dark Knight leading the way!

    Trailer was excellent…i sent links and told everyone and their mother…literally to watch tonight….Ledger Joker is the only Joker in my opinion…hes unbelievable….i just dont like his high voice in some points….in the opening of the trailer i think it is cut up dialogue…some of that i think is two face post accident….i couldnt get a feel of the plot which i awesome…unlike spiderman 3 where u can see the whole movie in ur head based off the marketing…the dark knight people are putting stuff out there that is great visually and they arent ruining the movie….they want u to see the joker so u get pulled in and they are saving Two Face and some cameos for the real suprise….WHY SO SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!??? Ledgers the man…get off his back for brokeback…its a movie role not real life…

  11. Gravatar

    Why so serious? x-( excellent trailer!!!!

  12. Gravatar

    love it…though Batman’s motorcycle whatever is kind of ridiculous looking

  13. Gravatar

    So…much…joy………………..

  14. Gravatar

    best trailer so far besides cloverfield.. cant wait for either

  15. Gravatar

    download it here: http://atasteforthetheatrical.com/deathtrap/default.htm

    i think all the joker dialogue is ledger’s not two faces. listen to his voice in the teaser and you’ll here it. it’s him.

    i love the accent/inflection. perfect.

  16. Gravatar

    I have been waiting for this for the last 6 months. Better than imagined.

    Did anyone notice the Starbucks in the shot after the joker says “its all part of the the plan” and hes shooting the machine gun.

    Sweet, morning coffee anyone?

    Between this trailer and the one that was shown at the beginning of I am Legend on IMAX, this movie looks sweet!! Heath Ledger looks truly scary as Joker. I can’t wait to see this next year.

    If you haven’t seen the IMAX preview, it’s awesome. Doesn’t even come close to trying to give anything in the movie away.

  20. Gravatar

    Awesome. I’m completely excited and can’t wait for summer. Ledger is going to prove all the naysayers wrong.

  21. Gravatar

    My god I’m excited for this.

  22. Gravatar

    I guess Bruce Wayne has doubts about soldiering on as Batman…

  23. Gravatar

    Something awesome will be in store for Harvey Dent. That’s why we dont get to see him at all. Remember how we never saw much of Devastator in the TF trailer cos he had a massive sequence?

  24. Gravatar

    Oh, and my guess is that the new Batsuit is collapsible so Bruce Wayne can take it around conveniently - that’s why he can switch to Batman at the party scene.

  25. Gravatar

    Who is the Joker anyways?!?!?!
    Seriously what Joker on the screen would make us happy?

    Killing Joke, Arkham Asylum…what ever. Just give us a descent DARK KNIGHT story and we’ll be happy.

  26. Gravatar

    They Will Hold Back 2face Like They Did Venom….But Aaron Eckhart wont disapoint….hes a great actor and i can really see him being menacing as two face…id like to see him and the joker fight each other in this movie or the next…that would be sick

  27. Gravatar

    Ledger does a great Jack Nicholson impression in this. It’s like he’s been studying the last batch of movies.

  28. Gravatar

    Harvey Dent does make an appearance… from 1:20 to 1:21. Hehe.

    As a side-note, I made some killer desktop wallpapers comprised of stills from the trailer. Ohh, the things you can accomplish with a 1080p mpeg and freeze-frame. ;)

  29. Gravatar

    Chris Nixon,

    He sounds nothing like much less act like Jack’s fat, Caesar Romero impersonation. This is Ledger “being” the Joker. Nicholsen was being Nicholsen in a clown suit.

    This is the Joker I have wanted for years. It’s a mix of Alex DeLarge, Mark Hamill’s version, and The Killing Joke, all rolled into one.

    Go back and watch Burton’s Batman. Nothing like Nicholsen’s version.

  30. Gravatar

    Man, I hate to hate just a little, but this trailer packed more punch as a bootleg.

    It looks like they’re over doing the film with the catchlines like “Then you’re going to love me” = too similar to the Joker’s “Wait until they get a load of me.” from Batman 1989.

    But moreover, they are showing the biggest explosion in the film before the new year has even started. It seems like they’re more concerned this go around with putting the action front and center. Not a bad thing, but a little worrisome b/c this moving isn’t packing that. Isn’t Batman jumping on the car’s roof taken from Begins? Also, the shot with the Tumbler in the white room should have been cut, makes it feel like more of the same.

    I am one of those who would have preferred something more omnious and in the shadows. This kinda gives a lot away too early. Where’s the mystique?

  31. Gravatar

    O’man, I like the part where Bruce says, “people are dying, what would you have me do?” and Alfred says ” Endure, because you can make the choices that no one else could face.” was so appropriate and Caine delivered, all my doughts are now cleared and I’m now going to say it: THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO ROCK!!!.

  32. Gravatar

    Squirt!

  33. Gravatar

    I think I will wait to hear some reviews on this movie, as the trailer doesn’t particularly inspire me to see it.

    By the way, doesn’t the Joker look a bit like The Crow, except with green hair? I’m sure it isn’t intentional but that was my first thought.

  34. Gravatar

    Me and my wife are big fans of first Batman movie, and we are dying to see this one, it looks awesome!

  35. Gravatar

    Heath Ledger will be an excellent joker. He seems to be picking up the best of all worlds: The menace of Jack Nicholson (Batman), the laugh of Mark Hamill (The Animated Series) and oddly enough, a lot of Brandon Lee’s the performance in the Crow. I’m really looking forward to this.

  36. Gravatar

    WOW!!! I saw this trailer when I went and saw “I Am Legend”, which by the way is now one of my favorite movies of all time, and I thought this movei looks really good and I’m really looking forward to it.

    P.S. Man did they nail the joker or what?

  37. Gravatar

    1 word WO

  38. Gravatar

    Yeah….that is how a trailer should be. Not a huge fan of Batman movies in general, but liked Begins more than any other. This looks like it will blow it out of the water. July is wayyy too far away.

  39. Gravatar

    GREAT!! My doubt about the Ledger Joker has been reduced to an extreme minimum! He looks SOOO much better in live action than he does in the still pictures!! Eff the stupid ass-frackin’ gayback mountain flick,Heath’s an actor with BALLZ now cuz he IS playin’ the Joker!!

    Love the shots of Batman on the rooftop,remniscent of the Batman:TAS opening credits ending,and the shot of BW in the chair holding the cowl,PURE Batman comic book goodness right there!

    My only complaint about this film (as all the other films) is that the batsuit isn’t black and gray on the areas it is in the comix,and that the suit should be more flexible so it’s easier for Batman to move around and do his karate chops in quickley. That’s basically it. Everything else looks great!!

    I can’t wait to see the new batcave!!

    THIS WILL BE AWESOME!! I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THIS FILM!!

  40. Gravatar

    what more can I say but AWSOME tailer , cant wait for the movie to come out.

  41. Gravatar

    I read some spoilers and saw some pictures on another page about the funeral persession….it seems that the Joker kills the Police Commish…that scene where The Joker goes…WHY SO SERIOUS!!!? he his grabbing Commish Loeb by the face…The Funeral had the 21 gun salute, i saw Loebs picture next to the casket….and it makes sense that the Joker was taking out the Gotham Elite…by killing the Commish he can get all the Gotham A Listers together to kill at the same time….cue the Joker dressed as a cop during the salute and points his gun at the Mayor when the salute goes off….its gonna be a unbelievable scene…sorry if i spoiled it for anyone…but we all wanted that dude Loeb to die so Gordon could get in there…so no suprise there….

  42. Gravatar

    Ive Always Know That Heath Ledger Was A Great Actor…His Agent Was A Moron and Got Him To Do All These Terrible Movies…Knights Tale, 10 Things, Casanova, Grimm Bros, ect ect…BrokeBack Was Actually Good and Got Him A Oscar Nod…So We Know Dude Can Act…Now Hes On The Fast Track With The Best Role Of His Career and The Best Most Sought After Role Of 2008…He Literally Is The Joker…He Cuts Smiles Into His Victims Faces…” Im Gonna Put A Smile On That FACE!!”…Great Line…That Fight Between Him and Batman In The Middle Of The Street Will Be Legendary…

  43. Gravatar

    One Last Thing…I Cant Wait To See Ledger At The End Of The Movie…Bale Talked About Batmans Fight Style Being Amped Up In This Movie, Including Sticking Your Finger In Someones Mouth And Ripping Their Cheek Open…I.E The Joker From The First Picture On His Left Side….I Gaurentee Batman Does The Left Side and The Joker Carves In The Right Side To Be A Smile…You Can Tell Because The Detail Of The Right Side…Hes Gonna Look Deranged In The End…Ultimate Joker…Two Face I Heard Has CGI Work On His Face…He Will Be Awesome Too…Maroni Scars Him In The Comics and Eric Roberts Plays Maroni In The Dark Knight…Sounds Like A Set Up…And I Hope The Joker Lives…In The Books The Joker Always Gets Away…Ledger Will Be Back For The 3rd Movie…

  44. Gravatar

    Wow, holy fucking smoke! I am totally sure this will be THE movie 2008!

  45. Gravatar

    All the comments so far, as favorable as they are, are really underestimating one thing, Christopher Nolan. Have you seen Memento or the Prestige? Come on, he’s going to be the real star. Batman Begins was just a warm up, prelude to this moment. I have a feeling we haven’t seen anything yet.

    I agree though, I was a little skeptical of Heath Ledger, but I’ve seen enough to be convinced.

  46. Gravatar

    This is how comic movies should be done. There are a handful of great translations Nolan deserves major credit for doing it as one of the best.

  47. Gravatar

    This films gonna win best picture and maybe another oscar nod for heath ledger.maybe one for best supporting actor or maybe one for best actor.this movie is gonna rock.I just hope its not like spiderman 3 where there wasn’t enough time for all the villains.I also like that joker looks like the joker from the 40’s where he just puts on makeup and likes to kill people for fun

  48. Gravatar

    yeah, so i’m pretty much going to be watching that every single day until the movie comes out…

  49. Gravatar

    i believe in heath ledger!

  50. Gravatar

    welp shouldnt have watched this at school now i got to go change my pants

  51. Gravatar

    I let my mom see the trailer and as soon as see saw The Joker
    AAAHHHH

    Got To See It!!!

  52. Gravatar

    1 word for the entire movie: AMAZING

    3 words for the new joker: FUCKING BAD ASS

  53. Gravatar

    I have faith in Nolan and Bale and believe thatthis movie MUST be fantastic, but… I don’t see the amazingness yet. I have my doubts about this Joker. IS the “scar” makeup an improvement over the Conrad Veidt-inspired traditional visage? I mean, it’s cool, but is it BETTER? From the stills I was let down, but I thought that in action, in motion, it’s be a different story. Now that we see a bit more of him in action, I’m still not that impressed… I hoped he would be crazier than crazy. I want a raving maniac… who is chillingly frightening because he can turn lucid and diabolical on a dime. The Joker is meant to be Batman’s match. His opposite number. Where Batman is grim, Joker is off the walls. Leave the brooding to The Bat, I say. Bale has done a great job of balancing the BAtman’s many shades… I just hope Ledger can achieve the balance of crazed clown and deviously homicidal mass-murderer that adds up to Joker. So, I guess I’m a bit hesitant. I WANT to be proven wrong though. Please Nolan, Bale and especially Ledger: make me eat my words… in IMAX.

  54. Gravatar

    It looks like to me that heath ledger was the right choice.

  55. Gravatar

    Joker looks great but reminds me A LOT of how crazy Lee played the Crow.

  56. Gravatar

    I want to see twoface. NOW! >:O

  57. Gravatar

    Oh, and Heath Ledger looks sickass with the make up and the scars and shit.

  58. Gravatar

    Man I’m fuking high. That kush is da muthafucking bomb! go RAIDERS!

  59. Gravatar

    lemee get sum of dat kush ma nigaa!

  60. Gravatar

    fuck dat NOLAN nigga whoever da fuck he is. is all bout dat nigga that made BATMAN BEGINS and shit!

  61. Gravatar

    Hey QUADRUPLEX9000 get yur own name mah nigga!

  62. Gravatar

    hell yea….

  63. Gravatar

    Perfect bat-darkness looks extremely likely thanks to the jettisoning of the Cruise beard and picking a new actress who actually can act! Now if we can only get DVD’s of Batman: Dead End by Sandy Corolla, then my Bat-DVD-library will be complete!

  64. Gravatar

    the movie is greatly based on the long halloween and Dark Victory Graphic novels which are REALLLLLLLLY good and heath ledger is an amazing joker, i remember how the joker couldnt even put up a fight against batman in the original and now hes like unstopable, but WB are dragging us away from Two face by putting out all this Joker material.

  65. Gravatar

    THIS BATMAN MOVIE ACCTULLY LOOKS EXCITING.FOR INSTANCE THE JOKER LOOKS LIKE LEATHERFACE/THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. DONT LET ME DOWN I THINK THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO KICK A$$.BY THE WAY THIS MOVIE IS PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE BATMAN TO THE NEXT LEVEL.GOOD LUCK! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

  66. Gravatar

    PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DIDN’T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY, IT’S AWESOME, REALLY REALLY AWESOME. THE JOKER ITSELF SOMEHOW CHANGED 180 DEGREES, MAYBE HEATH LEDGER COULD BE THE BEST JOKER, EVEN BETTER THE JACK NICHOLSON. HOPE THE MOVIE BETTER FROM THE FIRST ONE.

  67. Gravatar

    The Dark Knight rocks!

  68. Gravatar

    i only have one word for this clip”WOW”. I must confess,one thing i like about christopher nolan is the realism he brings into the batman movies,makes it feel like you are watching some real action movie and not comic book flick,i only wish they can get him to do more DC charaters,like steel,deathlok,dr fate etc

  69. Gravatar

    wow.
    ledger looks the dogs b******s

    can’t wait

  70. Gravatar

    I AM SOOOOO FLIPPING EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE!!!!!!! I have been a huge Batman fan ever since I was little since I had older brothers. I love the trailer, when they first show Heath Ledger in the Joker make up and he gives the camera that stare, it almost gave me the shivers. I just hope it stays true to the original Batman comics a little more than the first one did. Don’t get me wrong, Christopher Nolan is an awesome director, but I thought it could have been a little better.

  71. Gravatar

    …just yesterday I saw the trailer for the first time, unaware of the rest of the cast and said to myself…mmm, that actor doin’ the Joker part nailed it just right, he has the right amount of creep, the right voice and will probably overshadow C. Bales performance. Today, I find out it was Heath Ledger. Sad ending, RIP.

  72. Gravatar

    The movie looks like it is going to be great! I like the way Heath L. portrays ” the joker”. If I were Jack N., I would be proud of the way he has played the character. My heart goes out to heath’s family, he will be missed. I give this trailer five star’s, two thumbs up, and I cant wait to see the movie!

  73. Gravatar

    So sad that Heath has died. I’ve been looking forward to this movie for so long. Now it’s going to have that sort of sad under tone that “The Crow” had. Heath was such a good actor.

  74. Gravatar

    SOOO FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!! CANT WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT!!!!BATMAN RULES!!!!

  75. Gravatar

    I’m so excited for this movie. It looks so good. Heath did a great job so far as whats shown in the trailer as the Joker. I’m glad it finished filming before Heath’s death, but I’m tremendously sad that he is gone. He was such a great actor. May you rest in piece, Heath.

  76. Gravatar

    wow

  77. Gravatar

    OMG - Heath is dead???? I can’t believe it. Rest in Peace…. so sad :-(

  78. Gravatar

    I loved Batman begins and this looks like it will be even better. I just read yesterday, about 6 hrs before Heath died, that he was going to be the joker and was telling my husband about it. Hours later while making dinner, I look up to see his face on the news. I just can’t believe it. I don’t even know how many times I’ve seen Brokeback Mountain, its a great movie and he was fantastic in it. Its just so sad.

  79. Gravatar

    One word AWESOME, I can’t wait for this movie to come out!!!
    R.I.P. Heath Ledger God bless his family and friends

  80. Gravatar

    I fell in love with Heath Ledger in the movie The Patriot. He stood out in that movie. He really had star quality. Now this batman movie is coming out and he’s gone. I don’t think I will be able to bring myself to go and see this movie, it’s very dark and will only make his passing even worse. RIP Heath….you will be missed!

  81. Gravatar

    bale as batman perfeckt choice

  82. Gravatar

    Trailer looks fab. Christian Bale has nailed Batman, & by the looks of it, Heath Ledger has made the Joker his own. My son & I watched the trailer at least 10 times, & we are now waiting for July. Terrible news about Mr Ledger. My thoughts go out to his nearest & dearest.

  83. Gravatar

    heath ledger was the best actor of his generation,and anyone that even compares his performance to the joke that jack did in the first batman,should wake up……..heath will be missed for what he did,and would have done,Ill always compared others roles,and wonder how much better heath would have been.

    no one will ever equal this view he had of the joker,its dark,moody,eery,part crow esque.
    take care mate,thanks for soooo many great movies!~
    ajp

  84. Gravatar

    It’s going to be awesome. We lost one of the best.

  85. Gravatar

    I have been watching this clip since it was released,Now it has become very earie to watch. Have always been a huge Leadger fan and I feel we have been robbed by some of the media for his untimly death. Now we will never know, ?? and neither will Matilda. Fly high , Shine bright Heath. Know one will ever better your version of the joker.

  86. Gravatar

    … Just watched it… its absol. spine chillingly brilliant. Cannot wait for the movie. Christian Bale truly is Batman… I think I must of watched Batman Returns 100 times and still can’t get enough. And as for our dearly departed Heath Ledger…who plays the most frightening villian of all… The Joker. Never has there been a role more sinister. Ooh, Ive just given myself goosies. But, I think Im just going to watch it again.

  87. Gravatar

    … I would also like to add… that since we lost Heath Ledger, in such a tragic way, I have made sure to watch every single one of his films. This would have been one of his greatest… He will be a Celloid Hero forever…. Because, Celluloid Hereo’s never really die. Our thoughts go out to his Family and Friends. RIP Mr. Legder as you guide those who you love from above.

  88. Gravatar

    I am truly sad, that a talented actor Heath Ledger will not be with us to recieve the accolades that this movie will get. I like the fact that this joker is a man who relishes chaos. anarchy and bloody mayhem, unlike Jack Nicholson Joker, this one enjoys getting close to his victims using knives. If it is possible to one up the great Mr. Nicholson, Heath seems to tap into that scary subconious that the character needs to brought to life. As a actor I am sure Jack Nicholson joker was an inspiration, but his joker was more from Jacks larger than life persona, Heaths is more based on the comic character, being a comic fan I love Heaths work, and belive his Joker would surpassed any infamy Jacks Joker had. He shines in this film. His untimely passing is a lost to us all.

  89. Gravatar

    Excellent. Thank God Chris Nolan has been on board for these last two films; his vision is dark, dense and downright divine. Puts Joel Schumacher and even Tim Burton to shame.
    Casting Maggie Gylanthall as opposed to Mrs. Tom Cruise is a wise choice; it is thrilling to see Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, etc. back in full.
    Love the new Bat Cycle…
    But of course the most significant part of DARK KNIGHT will be the role of the Joker played by the recently deceased Heath Ledger. Judging from the trailer it looks as if Ledger brought his amazing talent to a difficult, iconic role, and came up with a truly oily, sinister psychopathic villan for the ages.
    With this movie ~ and the new Indy Jones flick ~ I may spending much of the summer of 2008 indoors…at my local moviehouse!

  90. Gravatar

    Heath Ledger is chilling as the Joker. Brilliant.
    I do hope that he receives an academy award for this supporting role as the Joker. I still feel he deserved the best actor award for Brokeback Mountain.

  91. Gravatar

    it looks so much creepier now that heath ledger died

  92. Gravatar

    I think its gonna blow the roof off the theaters. I’m also looking for to Iron man the movie.

  93. Gravatar

    Nice, damn cool..

  94. Gravatar

    I think it is going to be off the chain! I’ve been waiting so-o-o long. Batman Begins is starting off the Batman Adventures the way they should have been done the first time. Right. Although, Michael Keaton was a great Batman, the movies were too cartoonish. (How was George Clooney ever cast in the series is beyond me.) Christian Bale is as the Dark Knight truly should be, dark.

  95. Gravatar

    The Dark Knight looks just that….Dark! It doesn’t seem to be much fun. If I want to see crazy freaks doing crazy things I’ll look out my window. I go to the movies to get away from that and have some fun.

  96. Gravatar

    In Poland it’s 08.08.2008. Can’t wait to see it. It looks even better than “Beginning”, Heath Ledger is probably as good as Nicholson and Christian Bale is the best Batman ever. I thought noone is going to act this role better than Keaton. Michael gave something deeper into the soul of Dark Knight and I think Christian is following this perfectly. As a big fan of Batman I want to thank makers for resurecting the true soul of this hero.
