    Over the weekend?

    http://movies.ign.com/articles/808/808742p1.html

    IGN had it a week and half ago, and I saw it 2 weeks ago due to the whysoserious viral marketing site.

    It just sucks that they replaced whysoserious with rentaclown, you could download the teaser in HD previous to the switch, now the only place I can find it is youtube.

    I love how dark and demented the Joker looks. I can't wait for the next Batman. I hope its as good or better than the last one which was excellent.

    Viral marketing. Whysoserious.com had bits and peices about the joker including a case file and riddles that had to be solved to open other parts of the website. This is where I originally saw the pic of the joker posted, it was on that site a couple of weeks back.

    Rentaclown.com is what whysoserious.com now brings you to, and I assume it has similar puzzles that must be unlocked to attain info about the movie. It looks like all the picks of clowns are the guys who were running around comic con.

    I too cant wait for this. I think Batman Begins was a masterpiece!

    My only reservation is on Heath Ledger. Not really a big fan of his and not sure he can pull off a good Joker. Nicholson set the bar pretty high.

    Old Jack did play a good joker but I'm hoping for something alittle less cartoonish with this joker. A darker more sinister personality to match the darker feeling of this series.

    Cartoonish?! Nicholson was the perfect mix of a demented madman and a comic-book supervillain.

    I wouldn't worry about it. Don't ask me why, but I'm willing to wager that Heath's performance will equal or surpass that of Jacks from '89.

    I trust Nolan's casting decisions. If he feels Ledger will make a good Joker than I gotta believe he will.

    I liked Nicholson, but the whole movie had that Tim Burton feel to it, including the joker.

    Jack Nicholson was a decent joker, but definitely a cartoonist / comic character. The first wave of Batman movies started at unrealistic and then quickly went to ridiculous / unwatchable as they progressed.

    Batman Begins was awesome, this one looks to be as dark / darker, and even better. Bateman. . . I mean Bale was destined for stardom since American Psycho.

    Can't wait for this one. Ledger looks more demented / sinister than Cylian Murphy as Scarecrow in the first one, which is saying a lot.

    Andy hit every freakin' nail on the head.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    She's got that "girl next door" thing going for her. Except more realistic. Cuz most girls next door aren't attractive.
