like i said, for me, the part with Heath's Joker voice was too short for me to make a good judgement, i gotta SEE him acting out and with the voice like visually see him do it and longer.
if i were to make a judgement, he's not bad but not what i expected (i expected like real close to mark hamills voice from the animated series)

This is the trailer in better quality.
After watching the teaser in high quality, I have to admit it's pretty good... Here's my question, at the beginning, when the guy says "I should have known the Mob wouldn't go down without a fight" or something like that, was that Eckhart, or Bale? I couldn't tell...
And Ledger does sound a lot like Beetlejuice when he says "I'm a man of my word"...

That was Bale

You're not the only one. So far everything we've seen from Ledger's Joker, I haven't liked it.
"I'm a man of my weerrrrddd"
Like I said in the other thread, he sounds more like he should be the run of the mill nerd serial killer out for revenge...not The Joker. The laugh seemed so forced, too. Even though I don't think Nicholson did the best job, both he and Hamill had laughs that were convincing.
Listening to Ledger's delivery for those lines doesn't make me think "oooh that's the Joker!" it makes me think someone like Phillip Seymour Hoffman should be saying it. But then again, maybe that's how you sound when you put lots of makeup on and you have a Koolaid smile rather than anything Joker-esque lol

Well, I for one am EXTREMELY happy that Heath Ledger is actually doing something with the character unlike Nicholson who played himself with 60% shit green hair. I don't think we've heard enough to judge fairly...but so far, I LOVE what I've heard.

Gritty realism isn't always the best route to go, though. More realistic seems to be a general rule for better comic book films, but the Joker should still have some pinache, you know?
I expected it to be a little more........enthusiastic? Hamill's Joker sounded like he was really having fun and laughing for a purpose, whereas so far, it sounds like Ledger's Joker isn't going to be fun at all, you know? Like they've been saying, "its more about his eyes than his laugh"...but really, we all know its the laugh that solidifies this character.
I'm not going to completely throw it out the window yet, because originally I hated the design of the Tumbler but I grew to like it a lot, so I'm hoping its one of those situations. I just hope that that was the worst we get and that everything from here on in is a better Joker, and I'm hoping that the appearance of the Joker so far that we've seen is only pre-acid lol.

i thought Ledger's laugh in the trailer, although cut short, was alright, it was not what i expected and i never knew Ledger could pull off a laugh that high, i wanted a voice similar to mark hamills but you know...
But there are even moments in the animated series where Joker is getting his ass kicked by batman and how batman never dies, there are moments where Joker "laughs" but is really pissed off and hamill demonstrates that
That might explain why Ledger's Joker sounds like he isnt going to be much fun. But then again, the Joker's having the fun and we're not sick minded the way he is.

EXACTLY!!!
Finally! Someone else with my feelings towards the trailer and Ledger's performance/voice... not to mention the pictures I have seen of him so far... bright pink/orange smile and his hair is brown with lime green highlights....................... just awful! ❌
