He's pretty much amazing in all his films as well.He is this centurys Alec Guiness.Guiness used to be known by everyone in hollywood as The chameleon because in all his movies he seldom ever looked the same and it was hard to recognize him.Thats how great an actor he was.Oldman is the same way,he never looks the same in any of his movies and it wasnt until like the forth time I saw this film that I realised that was him. 😄 He is one of those character acotrs that you dont see in films all the time just once in a great while.
The Joker is funny but he killing people and shit. I heard a man say on this board that The Joker says things that make us cringe but when he fried some foo in the first Batman movie he thought it was funny. I was watching the DVD of it when I was in a mental instution in the scene where The Joker is destroying the art while we all looked at the screen blankly and a patient was like "This is supposed to be funny". It's all like opinion.

In what ways do you think the Batman Begins sequel will be different? I didn't mind this one being extra serious for the sake of erasing the stain of the other four movies, but I hope the next one is shorter and more titillating. Obviously there won't be a need for the same level of tedious exposition in the sequel because they've gotten that out of the way. I had hoped that the Scarecrow would have had a more major role, seeing as he is perhaps the most interesting villain in Begins, being more "larger than life" than Ra's Al Ghul. If the Joker is the villain of the next one though, I think it should be inheriently more fun.
Oh hell I hope not...I hope it gets even darker.....well Joker is fun to some extend of course....but sick dark humour type of fun....so I hope we will see even more of Batsys rather twisted emotional life...maybe a little more action (I hate me for saying tis but it would be nice anyways) ..and of course a good insight to the joker...he will need a lot of scrreen time...great character...

I think we should go for Two-Face in the 2nd one, that way we build up the villain and the hero at the same time, cause of their friendship. By the third film, we'll be very informed about Bruce, and that way we can focus a lot on The Joker...which everyone loves.
Well I woldn't mind Two Face...although The Joker is great so he needs a lot of attention...but I guess they want to do the Joker in the next...the scene in the end at least implied something like that.....(although I don't know if their first meeting is the best thing, I'd like to see a battle between them when they know each other already....)
My made up scene:
Jack/Joker creeps in the dark, catching Carl's, his mafia boss, attention. Mr. Grissom barely sees him but feels the vibes.
GRISSOM: Jack?
JOKER: (chuckles) Jack's dead.
GRISSOM: What's going on?
JOKER: Wanna know who I am?
GRISSOM: (tries to find his face) Who the hell are you?
JOKER: Let's play "Hangman."
GRISSOM: Jack! (Shot in the arm) Aaah!
JOKER: Ha ha ha. Letter?
GRISSOM: Please don't shoot me again. (Shot in the other arm)
JOKER: Limbs running out. Ha ha ha.
GRISSOM: (Moans) J.
JOKER: Hooray! You got your first letter. What else?
GRISSOM: A. (Shot in the leg)
JOKER: Wrong letter. Ha ha ha ha.
GRISSOM: (Cries in pain) Please. (Shot in other leg)
JOKER: Ha ha ha ha. Got more letters?
GRISSOM: N? (Shot in the stomach) (Choking on blood)
JOKER: Ha ha ha. Jack is dead. Joker is in the town. (Brings his face into the light, revealing himself) As you can see, I'm a lot happier.
GRISSOM: Oh god.
JOKER: Say hi to God for me. (Shot him in the head) Ha ha ha ha. I really, really, really like this game. We should play again. Ha ha ha ha. (Wipe blood from Carl and stain his jacket with it) Needs something to remember you by. Ha ha ha ha.
Joker dances around.
