I heard that Michael Caine was terrified by him when they were shooting a scene together. And they will not replace him. They replaced Katie Holmes because a) no one likes her and b) she's not the biggest and most loved (hated?) villain in the entire series. The Joker is serious business, u gais. Nolan seems to want to make a good series Batman films, so I doubt he'll be like, "teehee, we'll just replace him and no one will ever notice!", especially after finding an actor who did the part so well (judging from the trailer). Who knows, maybe the Joker dies in the film anyway.

Hey all, I'm one of the people eagerly awaiting this film. I've been waiting for months now! The wait isn't much longer. Anyway, I just hate it about Ledger. : sigh : Such a talented actor. I'm seriously looking forward to seeing his Joker. I know it's going to be awesome. I'm happy to see someone, like Nolan, taking a hand in the series and making something fantastic out of it. More power to him. 
I'm really looking forward to this movie. I can't wait to see the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, from what I've seen he did a magnificent job and he played the part so well.
I'm also looking forward to seeing the legend that is Michael Caine as Alfred, he's a fantastic English actor.

This movie is going to kick major ass, I can't wait.
Vid which you can see Ledger's Joker in action. Actual clip starts from 0:34. Fucking Godlike if you ask me. Only 22 days to go (in the UK anyway).
This movie is going to be awesome when it comes out! I can't wait to see more of Heath's performance in this movie, seeing as how he did a very good job so far. It's kind of creepy how he pulled off the Joker so well.. I'm also looking forward to seeing Christian Bale resume his role as Batman, and I'm soo happy they replaced Katie Holmes! Anyway, the movie looks great and I can't wait to see it.
That clip of the Joker is unreal 
It makes me want to see the film like...NOW!!!
To be honest just from watching that clip and the trailers I couldn't really give a stuff about seeing Batman...I just wanna watch the Joker.
At least it is a lengthy film. =]

I just got home from The Dark Knight… and as extreme as it may sound, I have only one explanation…
The Dark Knight is cinematic perfection.
From beginning to end, this film is absolutely awe inspiring… the visuals are intense, the story is wonderfully played out, and extremely full. In fact, there was literally not a single moment of wasted time on screen… no filler, no pointless relief, nothing. Plus the cast was by far the most impressive ever assembled for a feature film. I could not give this film enough praise… its intensity shocked the system, the truth to the characters was preserved brilliantly, and the whole thing was so magnificent and emotionally charged that certain parts of it brought me to tears… including an ending that is so poetic and amazing that… wow… it was just simply… wow.
And everything that has been said about Heath Ledger’s performance is true. He is the Joker. His brilliant portrayal of the madman surpasses all, and even leaves the legendary performance of Jack Nicholson in the realm of mere mediocrity. He absolutely deserves not only an Oscar nomination for Best Actor… but he deserves to win it… period. But his performance wasn’t the only one lighting up the screen… Bale and Caine are back in their rolls, playing them as if no time had passed at all since their first outing, which was great… but the two who, like Ledger, really stood out were Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart. I would certainly say that both men deserve Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actor… they were both truly that good.
With all this, it is obvious that this movie is one you can not miss… but honestly, my praise for it cannot do it justice… it truly must be seen to be believed… and once you’ve seen it, you will understand the praise all too well.
This film receives 6 out of 5 overturned semis… not only is this the best comic to film adaptation of all time, but I would go as far to say that it is the best film I’ve ever seen... and with that, it has become my favorite. This film is truly cinematic perfection.

I'll be staying away from this thread to avoid spoilers until next Wednesday when we actually get the film, got tickets to see a advanced screening on the Wednesday before the general realease on Thursday (where I'll be seeing it again and probably the weekend after for good measure).
I'll be staying away from this thread for the next 2 weeks until I come back from holiday.
But I'll take people's word for it that it was a great film, and IMDB gave it a 9.6/10 and ranked #3 film of all time (gone up from #4) so I generally get the gist that it is a great film.

Yeah, I took a risk coming onto this thread so I could report my brother's opinion of the movie. I haven't seen it for myself yet (too much school and work), but I'll be catching it soon. Looks epic.
I've been told Ledger's performance was beyond amazing. He stole the show from Batman.
