The Joker Begins
fish across face:
I actually almost walked out of Batman Begins because I thought the beginning was so shit - that whole thing of some rich Westerner pissing off to some completely fantastic (as in unrealistic, not great) mash-up of Asia just seemed utterly played out and tedious - but it definitely got super awesome once Bruce got back to Gotham and all the mind-fuck action kicked in.

Batman Begins might just be the only comic book movie that I actually REALLY liked. The X-men movies were okay, but nothing that really got me all that excited. I like Chris Nolan, I think he brought a much-needed darkness to the Batman character, and I'm pretty sure I'll like what he does to this movie too.
I like Heath Ledger as the Joker. Again, judging by one picture and my knowledge of Chris Nolan's other films (Memento and Following, in particular) I think this will have a real dark feel to it, and I like that.
est:
Heath Ledger is pretty hit/miss. I absolutely love a few movies he's done, but hate a few others. The thing is though it's pretty easy to see which ones he's done because he liked the script and which he's basically phoned in for the money. All I really wonder is which this will turn out to be.

I really liked the Burton Batmans and even Batman Forever wasn't completely without merit (probably due to Burton still having some creative input) and Batman Begins was obviously awesome. So far Nolan hasn't put a foot wrong in any film of his I've seen and I don't think he'll do it in this one either. I've seen Ledger suck at his roles and I've seen some amazing characterisation so I guess we can only hope that this one will be as good as we hope it'll be. I like the look of the Joker makeup cos it's got that dark and disturbed feel to it that even Nicholson didn't have.
I was hoping for a different villain really but I'm not really up on Batman lore so I'm ok with the choice of the Joker. Besides, I feel safe in the prediction that this Joker will be different enough from the previous incarnations of the character as to make it a completely different villain.
