I totally dig the "reboot" of this story line. However, I'll disagree about ledger's portrayal of joker shitting all over jack nichelson's version. Come on "you ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?"
I think a lot of what I feel is bad is the costumes and makeup and just look that Jack had no part in. The acting under it though is solid. So it's hard to say. In this new version they didn't have joker once as his "formal" self where as in the tim burton batman they showed how batman pretty much created the joker. So I don't think it's really a shitting all over Jack's joker.
That being said, Ledger did do an fucking amazing job as the joker. The licking of the corners of his mouth was/is just creepy.
