Tell me the casting director isn't on crack... Heath Ledger looks about as funny as a car accident.

Ledger's Joker to take on Batman
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/5237328.stm
Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger will play The Joker in the next Batman film, titled The Dark Knight, film studio Warner Brothers has announced.
The Australian actor reprises the role memorably played by Jack Nicholson in 1989's Batman film.
Ledger earned an Oscar nomination as a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain.
British actor Christian Bale will play the Caped Crusader for a second time after last year's Batman Begins, with Christopher Nolan again directing.
It will be the sixth Batman film since his 1989 return, with Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney having played the role prior to Bale.
The Dark Knight is scheduled to go into production next year.
"Our challenge in casting The Joker was to find an actor who is not just extraordinarily talented but fearless," said Memento director Nolan.
"Watching Heath Ledger's interpretation of this iconic character taking on Christian Bale's Batman is going to be incredible."
Ledger's other films include The Brothers Grimm, Ned Kelly, Monster's Ball, A Knight's Tale and The Patriot.

Well I'm happy they got Christopher Nolan to direct and Christian Bale to play Batman again but Heath as the Joker?
Ledger has some HUGE shoes to fill!
At least it didn't mention bringing Katie Holmes back

Re: Heath Ledger to play The Joker in ''Batman Begins'' sequel
I think this is a mistake, he doesn't particularly strike me as menacing.
There were a lot of better choices IMO mentioned like Vincent Cassel and Paul Bettany.
Christopher Nolan is a smart guy though, so I'm guessing he sees something nobody else does.

Re: Heath Ledger to play The Joker in ''Batman Begins'' sequel
The Joker was supposed to have killed Batman's parents, wasn't he? So he'd be a lot older than him.

Re: Heath Ledger to play The Joker in ''Batman Begins'' sequel
Actually, I think you're right.
I'll just have to watch Batman Begins again, even though the sight of Christian Bale with no shirt on distresses me so...

I couldn't agree more, Nicholson's a genius, but I actaully feel Heath will suprise us and do a great job.

lol... hindsight.
Oh, and to answer those questions, The Joker/Jack Napier only killed Bruce's parents in Tim Burton's version. In Batman Begins, a man named Joe Chill murdered his parents.

Jack Nicholson is an overrated exhibitionist.
Heath Ledger was an actor. His Joker was truly, truly frightening.
