It'll be interesting to see what they're actually going to do with the joker..
to quote IGN:
""I see now what I have to become to stop men like him."
These are the words of Batman in the film's new trailer, and they are the key to the dynamic between the Dark Knight and his arch nemesis, the Joker. In fact, the original Batman film from Burton played up this theme as well (while also taking it far too literally and kind of screwing up both Batman and the Joker's origin stories in the process). The idea is that somehow neither character is fully complete without the other, that neither can exist if his foe is not in place, and that they need each other in order to live. What good, after all, is a Batman when there's no Joker around?
The Joker, though portrayed in the 1950s and '60s as a more harmless sort, is basically a homicidal maniac and a genius who has, depending on what comics continuity you're paying attention to, killed thousands of people (including women and children), a Robin, and crippled Batgirl.
Interestingly, Frank Miller's seminal The Dark Knight Returns has an aged Batman finally taking out the Joker for the better good, which raises the question of why the hero never did that earlier.
So one wonders how the Bat will deal with his enemy in this film, seeing as how villains are traditionally killed off in superhero movies. That, plus the death of actor Heath Ledger - who looks to be giving us the ultimate Joker portrayal in The Dark Knight - makes for an uncertain future for this cackling villain.
...
The point is you don't need to kill your bad guys every time out. Kill the Joker and Two-Face and you kind of render Batman useless. He's supposed to exist to fight guys like this, and besides, if you knock them out of the scene then you're suddenly resorting to second- and third-string villains in your next film."
*Note, it IS still speculated, but it does look genuine.*
If you want to see it, say so. I won't post it because there may be people who are NOT curious as hell like me, and would rather not have the temptation.

Gotham is in Hong Kong!?!
The only other person I think could have pulled this role off might have been Jim Carey, and I just wouldn't be able to take him seriously.
Especially as he's already played the Riddler in Batman Forever. Which reminds me of the Two-Face in that movie. Tommy Lee Jones! Whoa...
Anyways, seeing this...Heath Ledger...wow.
RIP.
