Best Bad-Guy Ever!

There have been many versions of The Joker in the past, some better than others. As a student of the literary traditions of "Batman" in its many forms, I am very excited about "Dark Knight" and its portrayal of The Joker. I believe that it is the best version yet. Here are my favorites.
Heath Leger as The Joker was brilliant (in the 'pure evil' sense). My poor wife was terrified. Go see "Dark Knight"! but leave the kids at home.

i'm in the same boat with your poor wife. alysha, i was scared out of my mind! well, not really, but i seriously closed my eyes for a good portion of the movie. i will say that heath ledger was FANTASTIC, but it was a pretty dark movie. ryan loved it...i'm choosing the movie next time.
