I think they had every intention of bringing him back and probably killing him off somewhere in the next film.

How many comic books have you even read?

Very good movie.
I hope it passes up Titanic in Box Office.

Point taken, I'll shut up now.

Well if you have such a problem with a villain going to jail it clearly shows an ignorance of the comic books and Joker's personality. I'd also like to note Bruce Wayne didn't play up to being a stupid millionaire playboy in most of the comic series. I mean in some he acted kind of slow and he was typically superficial but he was still a successful businessman who had his own charity. So saying "Oh I read the comics and he was always shallow" is pretty ridiculous.

I guess... I think I'm just caught up in the HEATH hype since we never saw him actually die it sucks to know if the joker came back it wouldn't be played by Heath and if the Joker doesn't come back he was just caught and that's the end of him.

The point with the ending was that batman needed the joker and vice versa. the line was

'this is what happens when an unmovable object hits and unstoppable force' or something

I'm sure the script had it planned so that the joker could always be around if they chose to do a sequel, but then heath died.

They have such a big catalogue of villians they could use im sure they aren't even planning on using the joker in the next 2 sequels.

I think it's been said before, but as much as i liked The Joker i couldn't help but think of this guy...

WolfAtTheDoor · 07-30-2008, 05:45 AM

..whose that guy?

Piss Me Off · 07-30-2008, 05:47 AM

John Doe from Seven. Exercises the same sort of idea that someone should be punished in order for others to be saved.
