Did anyone else look at that joker picture and think, "Wow, he has one bad case of herpes?"
Anyhow, I just re-watched Batman Begins and it got me pumped up for this movie. WOOOO! Can't wait =D

R.I.P Captain America.
This movie looks really good IMO. I surprisingly enjoyed Batman Begins (I havn't been a huge fan of batman movies but that was a pleasant surpise). This one looks like it'll be better though (and no I don't think that cause of my nick).

It may not seem like it now, but as you can see the pumpkin is rotting on the left side and it just so happens that The Long Halloween (a batman story) had these two pictures as covers:
There have also been rumors of us getting something on Halloween day, so here's hoping to a two-face pic!!
R.I.P Captain America.
Yeah since no one posts here anymore I've decided to post more pics and shit that no one says anything about:

Shit, joker looks freaky. They dialed up the hype machine too soon with this one.

Man. I actually get nervous behind my monitor when this Joker is on-screen. The way he says ".... like me!" is almost funny but it doesn't come across as goofy compared to Jack Nicholson's version. The only downside to this is that it'll probably be difficult to top this movie. I'll keep an open mind of course, but I doubt I'll be afraid of or impressed by future Batman villains after this.
I felt like a kid again watching these trailers.
Im actually excited to see this young Joker (compared to Jack Nicholson).
I think I've said this before, but I hope they don't make the same mistake as in the first movies where it was more about the villain than Batman.
Some design criticism: the bat-cycle looks ridiculous. Why is the utility belt gold? It messes up the pitch black look.
Edit: Judging from the posters, it looks like they won't heed my warning. This movie is going to be all about the Joker.

“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Huh? The first movie was pretty damn good... Are you talking about when they started throwing villains out in bunches like Freeze+Ivy+Riddler or whatever shit they did back then that I've tried to block out? It's kind of a a blur to me after Christopher Walken and Danny Devito were on.
If it were a boxing match everyone would be interested in the new challenger anyway, so he gets most of the promotion. We all just wanna see how well the new contender does, even though we know Batman will prevail with his gold utility belt and plot armor.
I liked the first movie too, from both series (Jack Nicholson and Begins), but I thought they focused too much on the Joker. In Begins, they focused on Batman because that was the plot, but I see the 2nd movie focusing more on the Joker again. I guess there's not that much more to the Batman character, so it's natural like you said to examine the villain.
Also, does the Batman suit look more cartoony in this 2nd movie? It does to me. I wish it was more "homemade" looking.

Animeniax, in the beginning of the theater trailer the Joker is also talking about how both he and Batman are alike, how they're both "freaks" and how Batman has changed everything. So I think the plot of the story will focus equally around both of them.
Anyway, I'm glad they chose to have the Joker as the villain in the second movie of this series instead of the first.
i hope they do focus on the Joker. Batman's pretty much a straight shooter... would get pretty old seeing his "I became what criminals feared so events like my childhood tragedy won't happen to anyone else" routine over and over...
The Joker, on the other hand, now I'd feel they wasted a good character if they didn't focus more on him than Batman. Besides, they had Batman Begins to focus on Bruce Wayne becoming Batman. No need to get repetitive in this new one. Might as well focus on a character that, even though he did dominate the first movie in many respects, still clearly captivates the viewers.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Well since they're calling the second movie "The Dark Knight", I hope they examine the darkness of Batman's character, and maybe comparing him to the Joker will allow them to do that.
I feel the same problem with the Spider-man series now. Spider-man 3 had too many side characters and it was a mess, just like the last few of the original Batman movies.
I wish they'd make movies based on the Arkham Asylum special and Batman: The Cult.

You mean this one, set in Arkham? I haven't been able to find a copy of that particular graphic novel...
well, did find this:

DLing now.
Also, one of the only Batman comics that I wished I owned, all about The Joker and The Batman: The Killing Joke.

Yeah that's the one. It might be a little too early to introduce all of those new villains, but they could make the movie more about how Batman deals with each obstacle, just like in the comic.
I own the original hardcover edition. I wonder if it's worth anything?
You could get the anniversary edition:

I thought this was ludicrously cute, a Lego playset of Arkham Asylum:
