Heath Ledger as The Joker Revealed (Again)
November 27, 2007

by Alex Billington
Although official photos of the Joker from The Dark Knight were first revealed over the summer, this is the clearest, high res version of the Joker we've seen yet and it's pretty incredible. British film magazine Empire has released a cover shot of their January edition which features this photo, and we're awaiting the clearer version without any text on their website. If The Dark Knight isn't quickly ramping up to be your most highly anticipated movie of 2008 via this endless barrage of fanboy-targeted marketing, then I don't know what other movie next year is. Read on to see the "cold-blooded, mass-murdering clown."
I'll be picking this up on newsstands when it arrives in December, won't you?
The Dark Knight arrives in theaters next summer on July 18th, 2008. Keep up to date on all the latest happenings, news, viral marketing events, and everything The Dark Knight related right here at FS.net!

Looks great can't wait to see it in high-res without the text, think it is after the scene we already got the pics for that we weren't suppose to see.

I love this photo! Heath looks awesome! It makes him look really crazy and evil. I hope we get to see the photo without the "EMPIRE" lettering. Can't wait to see a new trailer.

Why are his hands not white also? Is the white make up or bleaching of his skin? I sincerely hope Nolan gives ample time for the transition into madness for the character. Every other movie simply glosses over the mental breakdown and gets right into being The Joker.

Dude as a Hard Core Batman Fan.
I am not sure that Heth Ledger is going to pull this off.
I think they doing something different with the joker and just making him a crazy guy who puts on make up and carved up his face. Instead of having him fall in a vast of acid and changing him. (I mean look at the photo. Why are his hand flesh color and his face is white ?)
I think this joker may be a little too dark in this movie. Which is fine for you and me ? But you have to remember that the joker is an icon and a symbol just like Batman not only for adults and for children as well. I feel that we maybe looking at another series of angrey mother's who thought that they were taking there kids to a nice little Batman movie.
This happened once before after "Batman Returns" came out. Mom's across America were outraged by some of the images in Tim Burton's film.
Then after that Warner Brothers paniced and put out camppy shit like
"Batman Forever & Batman & Robin" just to make the parents happy.
My solution is to make the film an R film and don't let little kids see it. Or warn parents about the darkness of the film before letting them take there 5yr to see it thinking it is going to be like the cartoon.
But all said I am looking forward to the movie and to see if Ledger can live up to the image that the Joker is.
My name is Mike and this is my rant !
