Ra's Al Ghul's return?

Unfortunately a real Batman can only battle realistic villains eliminating a great deal of his foes from ever being castable. Crossing my fingers Joker is done justice

If Heath Ledger's performance is anywhere near Jack Nicholson's or at leas the animated version, I'll be happy because we all know Jack & Mark did the Joker justice.

My only fear is that in the post Spiderman comic book movie renaissance they will make the Joker TOO serious and miss out on the fact that he is also kind of zany in a dark diabolical way.

I'm pretty sure Nolan's smart enough to make the Joker both goofy & diabolical for "The Dark Knight".

I believe that Ledgers performance will be better than Nicholson's.

at least the animated one? the animated Joker is quite literally the best Joker. one million X better than nicholson. Only thing that limited him was that he couldn't kill anyone as it was a children's cartoon. but otherwise Mark Hamill is the Joker. I doubt Ledger will be even close to him.

I like animated Joker and Nicholson's Joker about equally though the animated one has an edge because he could be zanier

The animated Joker was great, but Nolan's Joker will not be like that.

And how would you know?

He knows because Nolan doesn't want all the zany, wacky, goofy stuff found in BTAS or Batman 89 for that matter. Nolan made it known that he wants his Batman universe to be as realistic as possible...

Meh, a more sadistic Joker doesn't mean the world's going to end. I want a scar Joker. Hell, I want a scarier Batman movie. Batman Begins was dark but now it's time to take it up a notch.
