Previous Post http://www.atasteforthetheatrical.com/deathtrap/default.htm I can't say I especially like the Joker's "grim and gritty" look. At the very least comb your hair. But I'm really looking forward to the movie to see what they do with Harvey Dent, who's my all time favorite supervillain (and who, just my luck, isn't in the trailer at all).

There's a lot of cool stuff in there, but then there's stuff I'm not so sure of... and Ledger's Joker pretty much tops that list. The Joker has never really worked 100% as a character for me anyways, and I'm not convinced the extra level of grim and grittiness is going to solve that for me. I'm especially not convinced by the actor's delivery. Even by the end of the trailer, I was sick of hearing him draw out his wooorrrrrrds. It's like he started with a bad Nickelson impersonation and then just made it more generic.

We'll see though... I've grown more fond of the last one over time, and more forgiving of its flaws. I'm looking forward to this one.
