thehefnerMore I've thought about it, and the more I've read up on it, I'm still kinda waiting for news to hit that the Joker image is a hoax. Even though both aintitcool.com and chud.com think it's the real deal, this wouldn't be the first time they've been suckered by a hoax. Nor the first time that hoax was a picture of Heath Ledger as the Joker, for that matter. That website is not, it turns out, directly linked to WB, as the "I Believe in Harvey Dent" poster was. But this could still be a case of clever viral marketers covering their tracks. But why would they?
So we'll wait and see. Just like, no matter what the Joker finally looks like, we'll have to wait and see what the hell the Joker's gonna be like on screen.
Still. I would be very happy to be suckered here. At least I'd know that half the internet would have been suckered right along with me. But considering that the actual Joker in the comics recently had his face similarly scarred into a permanent smile (and how stupid is that idea, huh? Bad enough the Joker's written as a one-note grinning lunatic by most writers as it is, but this will just seal the deal), it seems highly likely they wanted to match the movie version as soon as possible. Just like Spidey having his black suit back, even if the reasons behind it make little sense.
So, fingers crossed.
Meantime, I'm going to drink beer and watch ROCKY IV-VI. It's always darkest before the dawn, y'know? And then, soon shall come my ROCKY megapost. This has the potential to be one of the most fascinating cinematic experiences I've ever had, seriously.
