The Joker is one of the only things that keeps me coming back to the DC Universe. It’s as black and white as that. 52, Countdown, nothing like that keeps me interested in the DC World except for The Joker. The Clown Prince of Crime. The diabolically insane and evil villian from Batman. We all know him and love him. Lets face facts though — in the world of Film he honestly has never been portrayed properly.

Now put down those sticks and stop your complaining that Jack Nicholson was great… he was — but he wasn’t THE JOKER. He wasn’t insane, maniacal, funny, twisted, yet loveable in some weird dark way. He had the crazy — but no purpose… no real reason for being… in my eyes.

Who embodies the Joker the most? So far, to date, Mark Hammill — and he’s in Cartoon form! So that doesn’t count. Sorry Mark.

So what’s the point of this post?

This:

If this image is any gauge for Heath’s performance in the film and how they will portray The Joker in The Dark Knight, we have a winner.

That is all.
