I mentioned the other day that I was highly anticipating IronMan next summer and its been SUCH a geek devotion that it almost makes me feel like I am cheating (and a little guilty) to say that I forgot all about Batman: the Dark Knight for a moment there. Oh my dark mistress of geekdom, Dark Knight has won me over again. I flip flop on these two more than a politician following polls at elections.
Now we get a REALLY good look at Heath Ledger as the Joker, and I am more convinced than ever that this was the right choice.
Im wondering why there is a Batman with a gun standing next to … Batman. Also, Heath looks SO wicked as Joker. I wonder if he is dropping the accent or is Joker going to be Australian now?
And yes, I know these were posted online a while back, but in my very busy life I am just tripping over them now, so I am sharing my excitement over it.

Um, so then why are you calling them “new?”

Because there isnt anything MORE new from Dark Knight yet, and they are NEW to me.
I thought that was obvious.

Rodney,
We share an anticipation of the Iron Man movie, so you get extra credit in my book. :-)
My point was that the title of your post leads people to believe that these pics are new to EVERYONE, not just you.
It’s actually a more than a bit misleading IMHO.

Dude, these pics were leaked, and John (along with other sites) took them down for legal reasons. Also, haven’t you seen the trailer? He doesn’t have an Aussie accent. And it’s not “Batman: Dark Knight,” it’s just The Dark Knight. No Batman in thy title!

I can’t remember where I saw it, but there was apparently an interview with Micheal Cane, where he talked to seeing Heath in full Joker attire, standing around, and he was actually scared (during filming, but off set). Apparently, Heath does such a fantastic job as Joker, that he really comes across as a deranged psycho, unlike Jack’s Joker, that was more comical… I can’t wait for this movie!

Sorry, the gun pic is not new. And yeah, the studio had these yanked off the internets a while back.

I agree with screen rant / vic. i actually thought there was a bug in themovieblog and that this was an old story at first based on the pictures. also, there is another pic out there with like 6 batmen.

About the dual Batman pc, Michael Caine was online a while back talking about a scene where(SPOILER) he dresses up as Batman to provide a diversion or trap or somthing. That might be what’s going on there.

That looks fuckin tight. And, dark_venmon, you don’t have to have anything against Australians just because you don’t want the joker to be australian. He lives in a U.S, New York type of city. why would he be Australian. Ask yourself that question.

See I disagree, I did not like the original Batman Begins. Could type out all the things i disliked but would take forever. Will just type what i did like Morgan Freeman (just awesome anytime on screen), Michael Caine (best Alfred ever), Liam (sorry ya got stuck in this film), & Scarecrow was done awesome.
Now like ive told everyone else though, I will wait and watch the new one and see if they fix most of the issues I had with the movie, especially with the main character himself. And as far as the Joker goes, holding my judgement. Like that there going with the more sadistic Joker over the crazy, but sorry gonna be hard to top Jack.

About the Batman with the gun. I have seen other pics with at least a dozen “Batmen” sitting in a parking garage. I read some where that the Scarecrow has henchmen dressed as Batman to set him up.
