The Joker Begins
CmonMiracle:
I like that picture, it makes him a lot more unbalanced than a Joker who had neat makeup on...Kind of John Wayne Gacy-like. He doesn't seem as "ha ha I'm insane" as Jack was, but he does look more likely to fuck you up.

i must be the only person who not only likes heath ledger but thinks he'll be good as the joker. i personally hated all 4 original batman movies and cannot stand the praise jack nicholson gets (honestly, yes, cookoo's nest was great, adaptation was great, otherwise he's a complete one trick pony in every single fucking movie he's been in. ANGRY KIND OF INSANE JACK NICHOLSON RAH. contributes nothing in the same way al pacino's career turned out) and with nolan's image of everything, this movie cannot possibly be bad. replacing katie holems with maggie gyllenhaal was a godsend, and from what i've heard i couldn't be more excited for it. god knows it wont be hard to top x-men 3 and the spiderman series for comic movies. that and i have faith in nolan to not turn out a bad movie. this new series is great, and just because people hate heath ledger for a few bad movies (i honestly liked a lot of his work, though has done some awful shit) i dont think that it'll be bad at his expense whatsoever.
oh yeah. AARON FUCKING ECKHART AS HARVEY DENT. I NEED IT. I WANT IT. GOTTTTA HAVE.

dude in the picture, he looks like a dead drag queen, or a very stoned drag queen.
fish across face:
Yeah, cool eh?

Um, Adaptation? Not sure what you're thinking of. I think Chinatown would be another good example of Jack Nicholson looking like he's working, rather than just being Jack.
That one detail aside, I really agree with the gist of your post. I was never a fan of any of the Batman movies until Batman Begins, and I think that pic of the Joker suggests we'll get more riffing on fear... which is an awesome thing. It's a great way to explain away the daftness of dressing up in funny suits. :)
I hadn't heard / read about the other castings, they sound great too.
Speaking of playing against type and so on, how about Gary Oldman as Gordon? Shit he was awesome in Batman Begins. Not a trace of nastiness or kookiness and no chewing of scenery at all.

Batman Begins was fucking awesome and I have faith this film will be too.
