Fans are calling for Heath Ledger’s rendition of The Joker in Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster bash The Dark Knight to be acknowledged as the pinnacle of the character’s representation on film.

Rachel Weisz as Cat Woman? Robert Pattinson as The Joker? Is anyone taking this seriously?

DC Comics has hooked our good friends over at /Film up with an awesome first look at the upcoming cover of MAD magazine, which is due to hit stores on December 16th.

The Joker doesn’t really come off as the fighting type, but as you can see in the new Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe game… it would be pretty damn fun to play as The Joker.

I’m sure that you remember the various film themed sneakers that we have featured on the site. Well another awesome pair has been brought to our attention by an FSR reader.

While I’m happy with the concept that was used in the actual film, can you imagine how much darker the film might have been with one of these concepts?

You can now wear a piece of The Joker’s lunacy right across your chest for just $22.94. I’m sold.

We all know how people are going to flock to The Dark Knight this weekend, especially in IMAX theaters. I don’t know if it’s wise to drink before seeing this in IMAX, but who am I to judge?

If you’re anything like me then you are counting down the hours until The Dark Knight is released. Well, it looks like the Joker has the film on his mind too. He laid waste to all the promotional items that Warner Bros. has put out for the most anticipated movie of the year.

No other superhero has changed faces or directions more, for better or worse, than the Caped Crusader. Batman’s long strange trip through film is a tale of success, followed by a hellacious fall. But as Alfred would remind us, “Why do we fall,sir? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.”

I may be $20 closer to the poor house, but at least everyone will know I’m a bum with style.

It’s been over a year since the viral marketing for The Dark Knight really got cranked up. In that time, people have learned second languages, taken first steps, and gotten promotions at work. I, on the other hand, have spent most of my time following the ad campaign and avoiding showers.

An early whispering campaign has already begun in Hollywood for a posthumous Oscar to be awarded to Heath Ledger for his brilliant performance of the villainous Joker in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight.

“Yeah, it’s the most fun I’ve had, playing a role.” said the late Heath Ledger in an interview with FHM Online while the actor was on location in Chicago during the filming of The Dark Knight in 2007.

I took one look at it and I said “Oh my god, I need this!” You can expect it in stores in August, which will probably be the month you have to go on welfare after all the awesome Dark Knight collectibles hit stores.

Toy stores released a rare collectible Heath Ledger as The Joker doll this week. Moments later the dolls were sold out, just like that.

“I can tell you that, basically, when you look at Two-Face, you should get sick to your stomach…” – Aaron Eckhart. Do we have a picture of what Eckhart was talking about? See for yourself!

There’s a rumor floating around Cinema Blend that a scene in The Dark Knight featuring The Joker playing possum in a body bag might be cut due to negative reactions from audiences in test screenings. It’s just a rumor, so take it with a shovel full of salt.

After a solid hour of trying calmly to explain the situation, I was reduced to shouting profanities about Jim Gordon and my local police force in the waiting room just as the night was starting to get busy.
