Next person who makes that joke thinking they're being incredibly witty gets whacked upside the head.
So rumors abound that Heath Ledger is apparently the new Joker in the sequel to Batman Begins. Not having seen one single movie with this guy in it, we have to wonder: Why does this bother so many fanboys?
Some snippets from a thread on CBR (as always, the typos are all theirs, not ours):
Interesting choice.... . . .
If by interesting you mean bad, terrible, horrible, unthinkable then yes I agree.
. . . .
The main reason I hate this: "A Knights Tale"
I hate that movie so much that I will hold it against Keith Ledger. Still haven't seen Brokeback Mountain yet, not because I'm a homophobe or anything, but because of "A Knights Tale". . . .
I think jim carrey is the best actor to play joker or more precisely, he should have been the joker. His physique closely resemble the comic book joker's tall and thin yet built for comedic stunt not to mention carrey's versatile face and comedic nature. All you need is to give him a white make up and dye his hair green and have him dress up and he's joker. Watch him closely when he played the riddler, he was joker in riddler's costume. Jack nicholson should have been the riddler!

keth ledger is def an out of left field choice....

I want to see Boner from Growing Pains play Joker.
Heath Ledger doesn't really bother us. You want to know what does? The thought of putting comic book fanboys in charge of movie casting. From CBR:
Heath Ledger is too pretty for the role. Personally I preferred the Justin Timberlake as Two-Face rumour to this one.
I DID hear that John Cusack was openly campaigning for Harvey Dent/Two-Face, which I love.
'Nsync and Lloyd Dobler as Batman villains? No, thank you. They'd just be too frickin' whiney and stuff.
