He's a longtime fan of the Batman comics, and he and his son had cameos in Batman and Robin. His goal for this movie was to get a speaking role. (I'm a Congressional reporter and did a short piece on it)

I saw it yesterday with husband and sons, WOW! It was incredible. I still get chills thinking of how creepy the Joker was. What freaked me out was that he truly seemed like a psychopath, not a "cartoon character". It was so well acted and believable. The evil vibes were just oozing out of the screen. I know I'm waxing poetic, but it really affected me, so many deep feelings and emotions.
How about when Dent and Rachel are speaking on the phones with the bombs set to go off (no more or it would be spoilerish), the sadness is palpable. I LOVED IT!!
I also think Heath Ledger deserves the Oscar. I was totally against it when I heard the buzz thinking that it was sensationalistic, but his portrayal is so totally believable and scary, he got the pathos of the character totally right. Christian Bale was amazing too, unfortunately, he is overshadowed by the performance of Ledger.

I agree....I kept wanting scenes with the Joker and didn't really care about Batman at one point during the film! I couldn't tell it was Ledger, I mean I knew it was him...but he became The Joker, and it had almost no reflection of him or other roles he had done.

Wow.
Wow.
wow.
WOW!!!
AMAZING film.
Nice set up for another movie (who would be Joker?). I wasn't really feeling Maggie Gylenhaal as Rachel though. She didnt do anything for me and I didn't see any chemistry between her and Bruce or her and Dent, for that matter.

If there should be a third (the final installment for Chris Nolan), who do you think should be the next villan?
Suggestions:
The Ridler (my personal favorite)
Bane (the comic book version, not the awful movie version)
Black Mask

Hmmm....they cant keep going back and doing villains they already used...I mean they basically retooled the Joker and Two Face from the 80's ones....
Jim Carrey's Riddler was pretty cool...hmmmm
Bring back the League of Assassins with Ra's Al Gul's daughter Talia, running the show
Hush (alias Thomas Elliott, Bruce's long time friend)
Killer Croc
BUT...they HAVE to do Hugo Strange!!! Comeon ...someone who knows Batman's identity and is insane enough to try and kill Burce to BECOME Batman???

Hush would be a good character to have.
The Riddler would have a lot of potential in Nolan's world. Imagine a Jigsaw (from SAW) kind of character that goes on a killing spree, but he leaves Riddler after he kills all his victims.

The Riddler doesn't fit at all in Nolan's Gotham.
Hush would be great, but you're starting from scratch - none of the backstory has been laid.
It'll be a combination of Catwoman and Ra's Al Gul most likely. Nolan has already stated there would be no Penguin, and has openly doubted the viability of the Riddler.

ok.....who is hush? i've seen the comics. there was a special on the joker, and they said that he's the perfect villian for batman. something about how the joker is the complete antithesis of what batman stands for.
