the first official picture of Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight has finally turned up. you may recall the retrospectively obvious fake one that was posted here a few weeks ago.
there are two ways of seeing the picture. firstly, you can click on the link in the title, register and assist in removing the blocked image of The Joker pixel by pixel. the second option, and i would reccomend you do this in particular if you are a bit rushed, is simply have a look at it here :
reaction to the picture? a considered hmn, i guess. on the one side, i guess they are not going for the theatrics of the earlier incarnations of The Joker, and thus Christopher Nolan will be carrying on with the darker, more "grown up tone". on the other side, however, is that the idea of The Joker looking like a somewhat misguided tribute to Robert Smith out of The Cure is not exactly going to thrill too many people.
the fact that the link takes you to an alternate tribute to Harvey Dent (do a google interweb network search for "i believe in Harvey Dent") suggests that here we go again with two villains in the film. not wise - the 80's/90's Batman films fell apart by overloading the plots with as many bad guys (and, spectacularly badly, girls) as the writers could think of.
anyway, there is still over a year to go before any of us see the finished product that would appear to be called The Dark Knight. if any more pics turn up i will put them here, hopefully they will start to get more interesting real soon!!
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!
