"We were first to tell the world that Brandon Routh was going to be the new Superman. Now here we are at it again as we just got word from A VERY TRUSTED SOURCE that the offer last night was officially made to Heath Ledger to star as The Joker in the Batman Begins Sequel! As Ari Gold on HBO'S Entourage would say: Heath Motherf()()kin' Brokeback The Joker Ledger "
"ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?"
There's so many rumors out there I don't know who to trust!
Recently on Tony Martin's Australian radio talk show, Hulme confirmed some involvement and expressed that he is an avid comic book fan. Robin Williams, in a recent interview with IGN FilmForce, says that he is a longtime fan (having read the Arkham Asylum graphic novels) and would love to play the Joker. This was misinterpreted by reporters for G4, who announced that Williams had been cast as the Joker. Sean Penn was reported by Blightly's Now Magazine to be Christopher Nolan's first choice for the role of the Joker. According to the article, a drunken Christian Bale let slip at the premiere of Batman Begins that Nolan was courting Penn for the role.[17] A few "video auditions" have recently appeared on the internet, with fans portraying their version of the character. So far, the only one that has gained much attention is Chadd Stoops' very grim and admirable "Jury Duty".[18] Two-Face's alter ego Harvey Dent is expected to to be introduced as well.
There are rumours that Lucas has met with the studio, although he, Schreiber, and Jackman have expressed interest in the role. In David S. Goyer's interview regarding the sequel, his plan was to have Joker as the one who scars Dent. Talia al Ghul is also a rumored character to enter the scene since her father, Ra's Al Ghul, was the villain of the first film. Actress Rachel Weisz has been rumored for the role.[25] Ra's's daughter is not mentioned in the previous film, yet is referred to several times in the novelization. Christina Ricci has spoken out about her interest in playing the role of Catwoman, saying "I heard they want to bring Catwoman into the next one. I so loved Michelle Pfeiffer's performance in the original one, and I think if they want someone to play the lead role - it's her. However, if they're looking for a younger Catwoman, someone more around Christian's (Bale) age - I'm available!", she said. "It would be great. That suit, the whip....wow. I will definitely have to get my agent onto that one."[26] Nolan has stated that Robin will not be in any of the sequels, although he has stated the reason is that at the time he's portraying Batman as a young man, d*ck Grayson is a little kid at this point. Nolan joked in an interview that "d*ck Grayson's still in a crib somewhere." In speculating who he would cast if he were forced to do it, Nolan suggested Frankie Muniz for the role.
Honestly I'd like to see Robin Williams take on the Joker but he might be a little too old.

WHOA! Who said Bale wasn't coming back? Hes already signed on, Warner loved him, and Nolan said something to the effect of being thrilled to work with him again on "The Prestige" because it was too long to wait to work with him again on the Batman Begins sequel.
Either way, I think Heath Ledger would actually do it well....assuming it's a real world Joker and not Jack Nicholson esque, or ala Comics...AND DEFINITELY NOT CESAR ROMERO!

...yep, I think Ledger would be perfect with Bale.

Rumor mill about two months ago.
The Prestige looks like a true winner.

As I watched Batman Begins all I could think was, this movie really needs more cowbell. Walken would be great. j/k
Actually I'm not sure about Ledger playing the Joker, seems a bit too pretty boy for it. Robin Williams biggest issue wouldn't be age, I think it'd be the pudge he's packed on over the years - I just can't see a pudgy Joker.
I love the Crispin Glover idea. He might be a perfect foil for Bale.
