| | Okay, most of y'all have probably already seen what I'm going to show here, but I'm too excited to wait. You guys know that I'm pretty much a Batman junkie, right? I mean, the first few films were campy and kind of gay (excluding Burton's first), but I enjoyed them lots and lots when I was a kid and now the franchise has grown up for with me, providing me with an awesome first film and anticipation for the second. Yes, I'm talking about Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, respectively.
Anyway, the topic for now is the Joker, also known as one of Batman's worst and most notorious nemeses. You guys know who they cast, right? Heath Ledger. Now, I like Heath Ledger. He co-starred in The Patriot, after all, which is one of my favorite movies. I like him enough to forgive him for going temporarily gay (sorry, guys, it's my roots. Brokeback Mountain would have quite happily killed me). I think he's a good actor. When everyone else groaned when they heard he was cast as this most notorious of villains, I scratched my head and said, "Hmm." I think that Nolan knows what he's doing, and I think that Ledger is a good enough actor to pull it off. So I waited for news.
Nothing for a long time... and then I read a story about how his fiancee, Michelle Williams, forbade him from practicing the laugh in the house, because it was scaring their daughter. At that point, I started getting excited. I mean, if your evil laugh can scare small children...
Then, Lane sent me this picture. This picture is awesome. This picture is absolutely brilliant. What picture? Why, the first look for the Joker. Like I said, y'all have probably already seen it, but I'm putting it up anyway.
