  • If calenderman makes a appearence in the next movie I will be very VERY sad

  • I totally agree pinksplice. We lost a great actor and we never really new what he was capable of, or showed emotion until he died. It just makes you wonder, how much potential he really had. He was a commited, dedicator actor who did his best at everything and did it with exeptional detail and emotion for whatever character he played

    RIP heath - you will be remembered

  • man, that was my fav movie of 08, maybe just because of the "Why so serious?" line...

  • I liked the "Look at me!" line. That shit was demonic.

  • @MPrint666: I absolutely agree. Chilling line.

  • SO TRUE. man i love you for reminding me of that lol

  • Why so serious Christian?

  • He was great as Joker. The cool thing was that he incorporated different versions of the character

  • Damn & here i expected to see heath ledger in the next Batman.

  • TOO SOON!

  • its been a year

  • Superb ;] Love him

  • regardless of the villain Christopher Nolan would have done a good job, Batman Begins was fucking amazing, and it featured Scarecrow and Ra's Al Ghul, both of whom were never seen before, and at the time Nolan was relatively unheard of, but if you watch his other movies, they're fantastic, he's very picky about which movie he does and all of his movies are amazing, so even if Joker wasn't in it, it would still have been amazing

  • what you just wrote there was bullshit lol

  • R.I.P Heath ledger. i think that people who say they should never have a joker in a batman movie again because Heath played it so good is wrong he was a great joker but doesnt mean that no one should play as the joker again and i dont want to have to wait 20 years again for another joker.

  • Ya know what greenboy4747 I agree.

    I can't help but get the feeling that the only reason people are saying "No one will ever replace Heath as the Joker" are only saying so out of sympathy for him, which I think is actaully rather insulting.

  • i am so proud to be british cos christian bale and christopher nolan are british :)

    cant wait till summer '11

  • There are far better reasons to be proud to be British.

  • i am so proud to be british cos christian bale and christopher nolan are british :)

    It's so boring being an American.

  • lol really?

    i so so wna move ther when im older

    everythings cheaper over ther :/ hehe

  • Really?

    It honestly gets kinda boring here in America after awhile, though i guess the same is true about the Uk.

  • So, justlikeEmma can I just tell you how happy that comment just made this American gal! =D I feel like we're constantly being told how awful we are on youtube comments, and I admit that it's upsetting after a while...

  • I assume you mean 'tea.'

  • Heath/Joker LEGEND!!!

  • Is Christian Bale the best or what?

  • he is the best EVER!!!!

  • AGREED!

    It helps that he's absolutely gorgeous, too. (;

    I think he was amazing as Batman; I really have no idea how people can say he wasn't!

  • How can u say tht he is a talented actor and u know there is a lot of pressure under someone who is trying to remake and character tht has been played by talented actors and Batman is such a famous character. And I bet tht if u played batman then u would feel under pressure 2. So HAHAHAHAHAHAHA and SHUT UP!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  • He did bruce well... but sucked as batman.. when he spoke it sucked.. but he looked coo..

  • Well, I respect your opinion, but I think he was a great actor who unfortunately aciddentally overdosed.

  • Please don't say that. Besides, they say it was accidental overdose.

  • Thanks for posting! Heath Ledger was brilliant!

  • Yea nomore joker in my opinion for nolans films at least. I would like to see joker again in a different batman film directed by a different director. I think Nolan should use riddler and penguin in the next film since there the rumored villains right now and nolan killed off Two Face and Heath Ledgers dead.

  • RIP Heath Ledger. Please leave the Joker with Heath. No one will ever be a Joker like Heath. His part was so real for me that I don't even see an actor playing a part. The Joker is for real, and he should do more to straighten out this country.

  • no one will ever play the joker again, heath left it off AMAZINGLY and i hope it stays that way.

    but i think johnny depp would play an amazing riddler!

  • @funnyfeetproductions lol just coz he died it doesnt mean no one else cant play him... i mean grow up.. even if you were fan.. THERE IS BETTER JOKERS THAN HEATH

  • @Huoha well its nolans world his joker was suppose to be like no cartoon btw nolan IS NOT replacing him so eat that =D

  • @funnyfeetproductions LOL hehe i would prefer him to be riddler

  • heath ledger was amazing in this film.

    but if anyone should play the joker in the next movie, it should be johnny depp. but still, he will never be as brilliant as heath.

    R.I.P :'(

  • no way not johny depp. i dont think the joker will ever be played as well agen

  • i know everyone on here is going 'oh depp omg he is amazing he can do it' no he can't. no way. NO way. simple. if ANYONE ever has got a shot. it is day lewis. but tbh i think they should leave it just as heath. n nothing more.

  • Thank you, I hate this depp hype. The man is highly overrated

  • i know! people who think depp cud do it hav completely missed the point and the tone of this movie.

  • In this new Series of Batman movies, HEATH LEDGER is THE JOKER. HEATH LEDGER dies. NO JOKER in the next films (in this SERIES). SIMPLE. It would be a dishonour to his name and his acting. Plus his effort.

  • agreed agreed agreed. ledger, phenomenal truly.

  • LOL Bale's voice in the interview isn't Welsh. But now it's changed back! I guess thats what you get when you are the master of all accents!

  • This movie was better than a comic book movie deserves to be.

  • I will never want to see someone play the Joker in the same universe as the one that 'Heath Ledger' created.

  • if the joker needs to be in the next film then it should be played by DDL or Jaquin Phoenix

  • Joaquin Phoenix...could be great. He's a very talented actor. I agree with you. Anyway, I don't think that Joker will be in the next Batman. Heath Ledger's Joker impressed me much, he was great.

    greetings!!

  • In A Article By Nolan, He said That If He Had To Bring Joker Back Into The Stoyline, He Would Use Johnny Depp

  • Johnny Depp could be p-e-r-f-e-c-t- too... yeah!!

    sorry for my bad english..

    hugs!

  • @DORMY7teacup when he say that

  • You know, Chris Nolan said that he might not return for the third movie, so what if a new director ruins the series by getting a new Joker?

  • it sux cuz this movie ended like there would be another joker batman movie but since ledger (RIP) died they had to make an alternative

  • Cant wait for this movie I think it will be the best batman movie of them all.

  • I so hope/expect that!

  • It will be the greatest superhero movie of all time period!

  • Can't wait for this butttt, Christian Bale's face looks all blue and white during this video...lol

  • Jesus dude. That is some seriously stupid logic you're throwing out there. Heath is gone. But NEVER forgotten! Now get both feet back on the ground and your head out of your ass and show a little respect.

  • well...i must admit, i dont think thats the case obviously, but considering he is playing the joker...i was toying with that notion just so that i could get over his death cuz its a big loss.

  • heath gave his live to this movie, you don´t get any more awesome than that, fuck the mafia boss from departed

  • RIP HEATH

  • Heath is gonna be the best joker because he is going to play the real insane joker. The joker is only sopose to be funny to himself and to nobody e;se

  • Heath rolls all the jokers in every batman series ever created into one.

  • Ledger's depiction of the Joker is quite possibly the first time anyone's ever really done it RIGHT. Most people think of the Joker as a "funny" crazy guy with a dark edge to him. But the Joker, as envisioned by Alan Moore or Michael Green or Ed Brubaker, isn't funny. He's simply *evil*, utterly insane, and completely irrational. Nicholson came close to getting it right- but he was still trying to be "funny". Ledger's portrayal, at least right now, looks spot on.

  • correct. the joker is a scary guy trying to be funny.

  • Yeah I agree with you too. In my opinion, there are three different versions of the Joker. The first one being the petty but harmless eccentric thief as depicted through the old batman series. Another version of the Joker would be Nicholson's character, a flamboyant, manipulative murderer with an old school sense of humor. And then their is the version of the Joker Heath is playing. The way the joker was intended to be. A dark sadistic mass murderer with a very twisted sense of humor.

  • agreed, Joker is supposed to be funny but only to amuse himself not the audience nor the comic book readers. Chaos and destruction are fun things to him.

  • Why don't we wait till the opening of the film to decide.

    Every Talented film editor can make something bad looks godly.

    It takes a gifted director and producer(Not to mention writers and great actors) to make a film a legend.

    I'm not deciding until i see the real thing.

  • you don't need to wait until the opening of the film to decide whether Heath Ledger was a tremendous actor or not. Cuz he was truly an artist at his profession. So I will not be surprised in the least bit when he nails the Joker's role in the Dark Knight. Especially if it's what kept him up at night and made his insomnia worse which ultimately led to his accidental sleeping pill overdose. R.I.P. Heath, can't wait til July 18th

  • the rumours about his role of the joker disturbing him are complete rubbish. Christian Bale even said himself that Heath could turn the Joker role on and off easily. I think it simply was an accidental overdose. RIP. Can't wait for his Joker to go down in history. Been voted the best villian ever, and it's not even out yet!!

  • prentice2005 is 100% correct! Heath's portrayal of the Joker didn't effect him negatively at all. He was an actor for crying out loud! It was simply an accidental overdose. And I agree that his Joker will be AMAZING! Best villain EVER! 3 weeks to go! I CAN'T WAIT!!!

  • They suspect tat He couldnt get of the chracter of playing the Joker. so he took too much medicine and died.

  • Even when I first saw Burton's batman I thought Nicholson's Joker was lame. Like WTF why are you dancing to a Prince song while painting smiley faces on paintings? The Joker depicted in the comics is not humurous, he's psycopathic. He just happens to find himself quite funny.

  • by the way the actors working with heath were pulling for heaths oscar nod way b4 his death. jacks wasnt even on the radar as something serious! so thats another telling story to how heath just blew everyone else who played the jokers top off!

  • well people say u cant say heath is better than jack becuz its not released yet. but as we see in the trailers heath brings out a beast and jack did great but the quality of the story telling and actual script is far superior than burtons. i mean burton didnt tell any story at all. u can tell just by the trailer that this movie is bringing something more valuable. to be honest heaths scenes in the trailers itself kinda makes jacks entire role as the joker look inferior. even tho jacks was nice!

  • I think its cool to compare Bale/Keaton or Jack/Heath, but i think they played the charactors so different it's hard to say whose better or worse.

  • MORAL OF THE STORY. SAY NO TO DRUGS. OK.

  • toxickness, you dont know shit about Batman! Burton did an ok job, but Nolan is way better. Burton never developed Batman/Bruce Wayne at all!! He just threw him in there to battle the villains. Nolan showed Bruce's training etc etc. Bale is better than Keaton too. Keaton was not Batman physically to short to play the part. Bale plays both Batman and Bruce Wayne perfectly. Batman Begins > Tim Burton's Batman

  • Bale was perfect for bruce wayne and Heath is a good actor, so there is no reason why people cant say hes better. Death or not I could careless about that but his performances are usually top notch and his range is phenomenal sooooooo yeah eat it

  • Nolan has shown the very human side of the character. When I first saw Batman Begins I felt deeply impressed by all the values and strong feelings that the movie conveys. Nowadays we do need movies like this.

    It is one of my favourite movies...I can't wait to see the Dark Night!

  • 'dont even tell me that Heath Ledger is not just as good or better then Jack Nicholson as the Joker.'

    Come on, no one has seen the film yet!

    I'm sure Heath did a great job but it is quite idiotic to profess that Ledger was as good as Nicholson based on a few short clips.

  • Well Ive seen plenty of clips and am a huge batman fan and said no one could take the place of Keaton and Nicholon. Then when I found out Bale was the new Batman I knew from American psycho that hands down he would beat out Keaton. So its not idiotic.

  • amen

  • No way this new batman is more real. I agreey Keaton was good but I thing Bale is way better and you cant tell me that Michael Caine is not as good as Michael Gough as Alfred plus dont even tell me that Heath Ledger is not just as good or better then Jack Nicholson as the Joker. These new Batman movies are more real to me and thats the reason i think that Batman Begins And The Dark Knight are way better then Burtons and Joel Schumacher movies sorry. Especially Joel Schumacher's movie!!

  • Tim Burton's Batman kicked ass because it was all comic-booky and dark. I like Bale but come on Keaton rocks!!!!!

  • Keaton was good,but his Batman didn't really get to do much.He was the least interesting character when compared to the Joker and Catwoman.Keaton's Batman didn't seem as intense as Bale's.Bale's Batman feels more like the graphic novels.

  • Bale has a cockney accent as he was brought up in london and has a transatlantic twang. end of.

  • why the hell so people say he has a welsh accent. the only time he ever spent in wales was 2 years as an infant. the rest was in england portugal and the usa. his parents and family were english. the accent wavers between whatever he happens to be playing and this kindof london accent.

  • Christian Bale is the perfect Batman - he beats Kilmer, Clooney, West and Keaton (by far the 2nd best) put together.

  • agreed

  • He was born in Wales.

  • i had no idea Christian Bale had an accent.. lol weird.

  • He doesn't, he has a soft welsh accent. He just puts on the american accent for promotion of the batman films.

  • AAAAAAAAAAHHH I CAN"T WAIT ANYLONGER!!!! I wanna see his character!!

  • spider-man 3+ fantastic four 1 and 2+ x-men 3+ punisher=fail. however, marvel does have spider-man 1 and 2, x-men 1 and 2, probably iron man. dc has the first 2 batman movies, batman begins (best movie ever so far), the dark knight (will be the best movie), and.... hey i love batman, but it seems like he's carrying the only weight for dc. superman returns sucked. although superman doomsday was pretty sweet...but thats animated. look at that, i have no point...

  • i agree with u mate, although i didnt think the fantasic 4 (2) wasnt that bad for a superhero movie tho it couldnt have been better. marvel also fuked up big time when they decided to do (ghost rider = nick cage worst fucken choice) plus that gay fuken line '' lets ride'' lol and electra + daredevil+ hulk are shithouse! the new incredible hulk trailer looks alrite and iron man is fucken awesome! DC should Robin into the new bat Movies, if anyone can Chris Nolan can make him sic + the right way

  • sorry bro, but i have to completely disagree. Bale splits the Batman and Bruce Wayne role so perfectly, and to protect an identity, you have to be completely different. And Scarecrow was an awesome character who was given a limited role. I certainly don't see how anyone could say he sucked.

  • I agree with both of you. Batman Begins was a great movie and I thought Bale did a great job as Bruce Wayne/Batman. On the other hand, the original Batman done by Tim Burton with Micheal Keaton was also a great movie, as for which one was better, I am not sure on that one, it's too close to tell for me.

  • ok anyone who doesn't know this movie is JULY 18TH 2008 shouldnt have a youtube account.

  • What's weird is I think this was the first time I have heard Christian speak without an American accent. How odd.

  • I like Sam Raimi's movies but y'all are right how can he make a serious superhero movie and Marvel is a little better on violence you hardly see blood if any in a DC film it all comes down to who makes it

  • yeah righe marvel sucks DC is way better

    you can compare just Batman Begins to the hole Marvel universe

  • That's because Marvel has 3 AWESOME movies. Most of them were good. But the only amazing ones where Spider-Man 1 & 2 AND X2.

    Batman Begins is still the best superhero movie of all time though. And The Dark Knight will take it's place. Just because it is destined to own all types of movie ass.

  • Spiderman 3?(jokers laugh)ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!

  • batman - d only superhero without super powers he's all natural unlike the fag spiderboy that yall talkin bout

  • Batman is way better than spiderman

  • Yep, Spiderman has been turning into those cheesy Batman movies from the late 90's lately

  • true.

    but batmans acting is better.

  • true.

    but batmans acting is better.

  • this movie will rip the ass off of every superhero movie ever make even that faggot called spiderman

  • I agree with FRASER00004...the thing, the most important thing, that makes these movies work, is that you have great ACTORS portraying these characters...the other movies were, "what celebrity are we going to go with this time".....

  • He's half-assing it, isn't he? One minute sounds midwestern, the next a little Noo Yawk. C'mon Chris, I promise you won't forget your Welsh brogue if you speak American like.

  • i believe that chistian bale n heath ledger are 2 of the best actors in the world... and michael caine is brilliant as alfred, hes a real character in these movies

  • christian bale didnt play the hulk

  • Eric Banna didnt play the hulk either.....I did, all they did was paint me green.

  • : ) ok

    Aloha from The Girls

  • christian bale looks pissed that they didn't call him to play the HULK again... ha ha ha!! Go Norton!

    Heath Ledger is gonna be a great Joker!!!

  • christian bale didnt play the hulk, it was eric bana

  • christian bale didnt play the HULK sorry!! he doesnt play stupid roles like the hulk..the was Eric Bana..get ur facts straight before u start saying stuff about the industries top actors.

  • ha ha! i was wondering when the cavalry was going to show up... you guys are great!...

  • christian bale never played the hulk lmao

  • That's a pretty impressive video! Can't wait for this movie to come out!

  • see this video

    /watch?v=7u0hTd3gXVk

  • wen da fuck is da new trailer comin outi thought it was comin ou b4 10000 bc

  • I can't wait for this movie!

    R.I.P Mr Ledger.

  • There is no doubt Heath Ledger is going to be the greatest Joker. Jack has nothing on him. I'm also glad they got rid of Katie Holmes. She wont be missed

  • There is no doubt Heath Ledger is going to be the greatest Joker. Jack has nothing on him. I'm also glad they got rid of Katie Holmes. She wont be missed

  • awesome

    ledger was defining and superb he did great

    sorry jack you got schooled

    bale and nolan rock too

  • awesome

    ledger was defining and superb he did great

    sorry jack you got schooled

    bale and nolan rock too

  • lovely bale

  • The weird thing is that I've pictured the Joker way before the movie came out as Heath Ledger's Joker!!!!! The make up and the voice are exactly how I imagined the Joker would look and sound!!!!

    This is why I wasn't impressed with Nicholson's Joker...he's too goofy. Joker is supposed to be sardonic and brutal.

  • Why are people on youtube so bloody hateful towards one another if you make a tiny mistake. Have a wank and get over it!

  • i still dont appreciate nolan stealing my catch phrase "why so serious"...and my nickname for the film.

  • july 18th 2008 there official just everyone shut up about it god dammit lol

  • How could this piece have been filmed in 2007 fools?? Like nofancypants says the narroator clearly says the late Heath Ledger. Try listening next time and think before you post stupid comments!

  • erm heath ledger died 2008.....so it was filmed in 2007

  • Everyone knows its gona be released in 08 you dumbfuck.

    But she said "it'll be done next july" So I figure this was filmed in 07! you stupid son of a bitch.

  • pity u did not die instead of ledger u piece of fucking dog shit

  • Nah, I have better things to do with my life.

    Like your mom.

  • i am the darkness omg u really are a fucking homo

  • "i am the darkness omg u really are a fucking homo"

    That comment made no sense what so ever.

  • on your home page u prick

  • Oh I see, I'm the homo.. but you're the nosey lil' punk looking at my profile?

  • Oh I see, I'm the homo.. but you're the nosey lil' punk looking at my profile?

  • what ever yank boy whatever

  • Go back to watching batman forever.

  • what does that mean

  • Oh my.. I have to spell it out to you?

  • well if u go back and look at that clip on my home page nosy its about all the batman films u shit stabber
