I do remember reading an interview once where Schumacer's name came up, and the reason why he keeps getting films to make was explained - he makes his films cheaply, and always finishes
on time. That's right - quality isn't important, it's all about making the film under budget and before deadline. Depressing isn't it.Anyway - here's a picture of Heath Ledger as the Joker. Enjoy being creeped the fuck out.

That photo of the Joker sucks donkey jizz from Satan's own pecker.
That's no Joker.
I'm reserving judgement.
Some other photos have come out and he looks quite good if I'm honest.
Some of the rumours about how they're going to handle him sound quite interesting.
I like it. It's back to the more adult Joker of Arkham Asylum and the like where he is an insanely strong human being with a warped genius mind, the paint smears enhance the feeling of instability and psychosis in him and make him look unpredictable...
"Well... we have so many friends here, sweetheart. Say hello to Pearl...
Such a cry-baby, isn't she? Pearl is nineteen years old... Pearl wants to be an artist. Don't you Pearl, darling?
She just drew me a beautiful house. She drew it with this pencil.
The one I've just sharpened.....
Open your eyes wide, Pearl!
Beautiful...
Blue..."
Man. That bit sends shudders down my spine every time! Joker's meant to be the most insane, creeped out erratic freak alive, so having him dress in top hat and tails in a gritty modern film (rather than the super-fun/camp Interpretations that have come before) just doesn't seem right to me, and so far this is ticking good boxes for me...
The proof's in the pudding though. Can't wait to see the film.
