Batman Begins

Yeah, I'm not so keen on that call either. What happened to Jason Lee? That'd be fucking perfect, right donw to the fanboy sensibilities.

Jason Lee? He's the lead in a tv series going on right now: My Name is Earl. Funny show about a guy who hears about karma after being hit by a car and decides to make up for all the bad things he's ever done (a lot) before it kills him.

I don't think Jason Lee was ever even in the running for the role. And as much as I adore Lee, I don't think he has enough menace for the Joker. He's the kinda actor that you like the second he steps on screen, and it would take a lot to overcome that. Ledger does seem like a left field choice, but I'm more than willing to trust Nolan on this one.

Yeah, "holey bartender" jokes aside, you're probably right.
