Dark Knight vs Joker, thoughts
So most people know about the 'I believe in Harvey Dent, Too' site. Well the Joker is just about totally revealed now and I can only think one thing.
Why do they feel a need to have the Joker's smile a cut lip smile? I know the Joker was originally inspired by 'The Man Who Laughs' but Joker in the comics has never had a cut grin to the best of my knowledge. If anything, give him a prosthetic chin enhancement. He has a big chin, not a big mouth. The mouth only looks big because he is always smiling/laughing.
Still, as much as I can complain about this bit of visual disgust over artistic liberties, I still have to remember how well Batman Begins was pulled off. The same crew is working on this movie. Here's to having a little hope placed in Nolan to know what he's doing.

As I understand things, the Joker has a cut lip smile now in the comics, maybe in anticipation for the new movie. I think it takes away a big part of the character. The Joker's always been a crazy guy and has always wanted to kill others, but I've always thought of him as a a pussy, frankly, who didn't want to get hurt himself. That he would have cut up his own face in a smile is too darkly crazy, even for the Joker.
But I'm with you when you ultimately decide that this is the team who made Batman Begins, which I feel is the single best comic book movie ever made (and, if not, is tied with Superman: The Movie.)
Interesting to know.
