Looks awesome. I can't wait until I get to see the Joker on screen again in a serious manner. They made him look scary this time around. Which actor is it that plays joker in this one again?

Heath Ledger is playing The Joker. I certainly enjoyed Jack Nicholson's performance as the Joker in the original Batman movie, as it was by far better than it's three successors (not including Batman Begins, of course, which has nothing to do with any of the older Batman movies): Batman Returns (which was extremely boring for the most part due to the Penguin being an uninteresting villain), Batman Forever, and Batman and Robin. Much of the success of this movie was most certainly due to Jack Nicholson's outstanding performance as The Joker.
It should be noted that this Joker is going to be quite different from Jack Nicholson's Joker. It would not surprise me at all if some of the "funny' things (as in things that where actually funny to the audience, not just to the Joker himself) that where present in the original Batman movie will not be present in this one. As the previews have already illustrated, he is going to be much darker and more sinister than he was in the 1989 movie. I too am pleased with the direction they have taken the Joker in, as this restart of the Batman Series is intended to be much darker than the previous version of Batman Series (the 1989 Batman movie through Batman and Robin), and so it is certainly necessary for the Joker to be a very dark and merciless villain in this version of the Batman series. It is more than apparent that Heath Ledger is going to do just that with the Joker in this movie.

Yeah, I'm glad about the darkness and stuff. The cartoons and the original Joker movie made him seem almost friendly. So, he is a villian and I am glad they would make him look evil in this movie.
