At first I thought he sucked, but after this clip he might be just as good if not better than Ledger.

I'm looking forward to it. But you just know people are going to shit all over him because to them Ledger's Joker is the definitive one, even though anarchist/psycho Joker is a pretty wild take on the comicbook Joker.

Don't get me wrong, TDK Joker was my favorite, but people need to remember this is a different Joker altogether, maybe closer to the comicbooks than Ledger's.

Also, that Batman shot was cool. It sounds like we'll only see Batfleck in this movie from the villains' perspective and it will have a horror movie like feel to it. Can't wait!

EDIT: Also worth mentioning for those unfamiliar with the plot, Joker is supposed to be only in the movie for 20 minutes max I think. He's not the main villain.

I'm seeing the movie with a friend that doesn't know anything about comics but has seen the Dark Knight, so I'm worried he's gonna lean over to me and go "Where are his scars?"

He's a good actor and even has the talent to eclipse Ledger's performance, but I fear the performance will be wasted in a shitty movie.

This movie at the very least will be a 65-75 on rotten tomatoes IMO

and probably a 45% in real life.

Damn that was a quick reply.

But with actual excitement from fans, humour, noticeable character development, and strong performances, I can guarantee this will be somewhat decent to critics

I've been on this hype train but not so sure as of late. Those trailers were great but as the movie approaches, perhaps I'm burnt out from the hype, I feel less inclined to watch it.

Plus WB haven't been ***** to the media this time around so they'll be willing to give SS more of a chance after BvS. Also, the studio has had very little involvement according to the cast, the opposite was true for BvS.

apparently Ayers version won over the studios.

That honestly doesn't mean **** to me. I don't trust this studio much at all.

Here is what I don't like about Leto's joker. He's not playing Joker. He's playing Ledger's joker.

Why does he have to talk and act like Ledger's version of Joker. That slurring and heavy breathing.

It almost feels like Ledger's Joker is the benchmark voice and sound.

Seriously?

This feels like a HUGE departure from Ledgers joker.

Only thing that is somewhat similar is the voice.

Yeah no idea what 9er is talking about. :biggums:
