Wow, they stuck surprisingly close to the comics regarding Mistah J's look.

Did you have any doubt with Chris Nolan at the helm? :)

teaser that doesn't take a year to download.

I'm sold on the new Joker look. I'd also be willing to be dollars to batarangs that that look isn't his "complete" one. Like he has yet to be bleached and right now he's just batshit (har har) insane and painting his face. Since it's obviously make-up and Nolan said he's be more albino that Nicholson's pure white.

Oh god I just came.

It actually looks like Joker had cut slits in the sides of his mouth and stitched the skin back together, a psychotic way to create a permanent grin.

Was that Heath's joker laugh right at the end? Cause it sounded just like the one in the animated series to me. And that's a good thing.

And that's a kick ass image of Mr.J. Thanks!

wow I can't wait for this movie to be released. The teaser was great, and I think the Joker's laugh was great and on the spot. I also love the Joker's look, and I can only hope Nolan also adds a few more Batman characters to the movie such as Harley Quinn.

I doubt Nolan would go with the quirky sidekicks and such. Trying to distance himself and his movies from the god-awful shit that was given to us in the past.

So far I've been impressed with the way he's done these movies so far...but if he adds Robin into the picture, it can only go downhill from there.


Seriously, no matter who plays Robin in any Batman, the shit just turns into one Gay-man infested Homo-hut.

No offense to the proud gays out there, just telling it like it is.

Unless they take the Dark Knight Returns angle and make Robin a girl...

Plus, I'm certain Nolan could pull it off without crossing the line into gay-land.

As much as I'd like to see The Dark Knight Returns made into a movie, I'd love to see how hard it would be to get an old ass Bruce Wayne past WB executives, no matter HOW cool the story is.

The teaser has certainly piqued my interest. The Joker bit at the end was <3

Nolan has stated in interviews that he will never put Robin in any of his Batman films. So, no need to worry about that!

When a full trailer is release I will probably fap for about a week straight.

Harley Quinn is wildly unlikely to see any time in these films, unless it's a cameo as a staff psychiatrist at Arkham. (Was Arkham even mentioned at all in Begins?) Her nature is just too goddamn goofy for the tone of the films, and Harley Quinn as a grim and merciless killer kind of defeats the whole point.

(Besides which, to have a Harley you need to have a Joker which is at least a little bit charismatic)

Pang --
Isn't Arkham where Dr. Crane worked out of in Begins?

I'm on the fence. Ledger sounds like he's doing a bad impression of Jack in the teaser - but a teaser is something terrible to judge anything by. I also don't think he has the acting chops for the role (nor do I think that the Joker should be so young, but hey thats just me).

I remain a healthy skeptic. Lightning doesn't always strike twice.

Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but The Dark Knight is going to have a new Batman theme. I really liked the BB theme, so I wonder how different the new will be. BTW, does anyone know if James Newton Howard is collaborating with Zimmer again for TDK?

Batman had a motif in the last movie - a two note ascending "horn call" - and it sounds like Hans is just playing around with that again.

Some new images:

Apparently leaked by some geezer over at SHH! who wishes to remain anonymous.

Uuuhhh...

Is the new Bat Cave a basement with overhead lighting.

No thats the "top secret" basement of wayne enterprises.

Either way those are some awesome leaked images.

That's not the Batcave.

Oh god. I just came. everywhere.

EDIT:

Both AICN and SHH! have gotten cease-and-desist letters from WB, so save em while you can.

Wow, those images are FANTASTIC. I love the multiple batmen... Very intriguing.

I am still confused as to what the new Batman theme is. Is it the song that plays right after Ducard says "Legend, Mr. Wayne" in this trailer:

Cause it's obviously the best theme in the movie, aside from the training music.
