Heath Ledger is The Joker in “The Dark Knight”

Hi, I’m the Joker. And here’s my card.

By now, moviegoers are abuzz about Heath Ledger’s chilling turn in “The Dark Knight.”

As The Joker, Ledger is a murderous psychopath, a criminal mastermind with no discernible motives other than the spread of chaos and fear. His voice is dry, nasal, unreadable. His body language, rife with nervous ticks.

In short, he’s downright terrifying.

In this audio clip, “Dark Knight” star Christian Bale explains how Heath Ledger immersed himself in the role of The Joker.

In other comic book movie news, actor Ron Perlman sees no reason there shouldn’t be a third “Hellboy” movie.

And Guillermo Del Toro, director of “Hellboy II: The Golden Army,” shares his secret love for crooner Barry Manilow.

Enjoy.

    Hellboy was fun; for sure that director has an amazing imagination, reminded me a lot of his work in Pan’s Labyrinth
