New Look for The Joker

[[AK]Nuts]

As you know, filming for The Dark Knight has begun in Chicago. Following directly on the heels of Batman Begins, this next foray into Batman retells the birth of the Joker ala Heath Ledger. The script really tries to focus Joker's claim that Batman created him and tells a backstory of a man with nothing to lose (except his mind) and how a run in with the Bat resulted in the Joker.

Here's the first screen-test of Heath in make-up:

There will also be a pretty big batsuit costume change around 1/2 way through the movie that is attracting a lot of fanboy attention. The batmobile will be back (rumor is that they built 12 of them in various condition).

With 300 director Zack Synder already starting work on Alan Moore's tour de force, The Watchman, next year's comic movies look to be a good batch aimed at more mature movie goers (versus the weak GhostRider and probably weak Fantastic 4 II.

By the way, here's an Easter Egg from the 300 dvd to be release soon... yep, it's a single frame of Rorshach. As I'm a huge fan of The Watchman, I' quite excited about this movie and pray they do the ground breaking graphic novel the proper justice. The Watchman and Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns are my favorite reads.

Heath Ledger? Are Batman and Joker going to have some nude love scenes? "I wish I knew how to quit you, Batman."

Can't wait to see it, although I still think Nicholas as the Joker was the cats-ass.

Tapping into viral marketing two new websites have come online in support of Batman's next film:

Let the first one load for a while and you'll see the final version of makeup for the Joker. Much darker and not so funny.

Update:
The ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com has changed to black on black text with a hidden message inside. They've removed the image of the joker, but you can find it here: http://im.rediff.com/movies/2007/may/22look.jpg
