he's taller than Bale, and they made Hugh Jackman look shorter than he is, so people can be made to look taller. And as for being skinny:

That was the movie Bale did right before filming Batman Begins. I think Ledger can slim up a bit for the movie

Someone was going to do this anyway, so...

Broke back Batman.

Ledger is the joker and Jake Gyllenhal is a "Converted" edward nigma, the "Diddler".

"Jack... Why can't I quit you?!"

remember this thread ...:p ...all guessed wrong.

I suppose you're right. He just never looks very tall in anything Ive seen him in (Brokeback, Brothers Grimm).

BTW, The Machinist is one of my favourite films.

Bale is such a great actor im glad to see him as batman but alot of people i know didnt like batman begins and they say ah it was to long I say ya because they told batmans orgin which added strength to the movie. As for ledger i hope they get him to look like a fucking crazy maniac jocker not some cartoon bullshit. I also heard that there is two more villains to the story. Ryan phillipe si in the movie but they have plans for him to be harvey dent Aka two face and the penguin suppose to be in this?

I was just thinking, you know who'd be a fantastic Joker if he wasnt already in the movie?

Gary Oldman! Perhaps he's a bit old for whhat they're going for, but I still think he could be great.

Oh well, he'll make a good Commisioner Gordon.

I still think he would've made a badass Joker.:o

If they picked Ledger, that means he must've impressed them in casting. So what I wanna know is, just how good is Ledger's laugh? He must have one kick-ass Joker laugh if they cast him... so I'm pretty fuckin' stoked.

Who do you guys think would be a good choice for Harvey Dent?


Josh Lucas or Joaquin Phoenix are the first to pop into my head.

No way in hell...they went for name recognition,plain and simple...Ledger is a chump choice and will remain as such,the casting director was simply high......happens all the time.Ledger's got no balls,no laugh and no motive.....fuck 'em.
