not bad, not bad…
So you may already know about Harvey Dent’s website, which was subsequently been defaced in a viral marketing campaign (does The Dark Knight really need viral marketing?). Now the site has revealed a first look at Heath Ledger’s take on the comic villain. I have to say I kind of like it- it’s suitably dark and not overdone.
In other strange news, The Daily News has an article revealing that Anthony Michael Hall has a fairly large role in the Batman sequel. I just hope they aren’t breaking Moxon’s first rule of superhero movies…

Are you fu*king kidding me?? Heath Ledger looks like he should be trick or treating, not terrorizing Gotham. Would you like a Twix or an O’Henry?
This is going to be yet another sad attempt at a villain in the Batman series. Scarecrow was only a decent villain – and yet by far the best in the series. What does that say? Look, until Batman gets a truly scary villain to challenge him, he won’t be a true superhero (I’m talking about the movies, not the comics – take it easy, fanboys).
On the other hand, perhaps this incarnation of the Joker is apropos. Since this Joker looks like a ridiculously cheap attempt at villainy, he could be the perfect foil to Batman’s main power: wealth. Have you ever thought about that? Yeah, Batman can fight. Yes, he has cool tools on his utility belt. But isn’t it his wealth that makes it all possible? I’d like to see a Batman on welfare, swinging on some frayed yarn.
If Gotham really wants to rid itself of villainy, they should just form a branch of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). It seems like these criminals are just unlucky victims of industrial accidents. Imagine if these guys had just watched a safety video on their first day on the job.
If Ledger ends up looking like this in the film, I’m out.
UPDATE
Rumor is that the first Dark Knight trailer may appear in December…
