Mark Hamill has been doing the voice of the joker on the animated series for god knows how many years. It would be interesting.

Mark Hamill would be awesome IMO. I always felt the Joker from the animated series was the best Joker.
I agree. I just saw Batman Begins last night... man is that a great movie. It's good to see the real Batman on screen, and not the campy 'rubber nipples' Batman we've seen in a few films. Great movie. I loved how it ended too, with the card. Hamill would be excellent, plus it would keep the Jedi-Knight-as-the-bad-guy theme.
Oh hey, if you haven't seen the movie, don't read that last sentence.
Whoever plays the Joker in the next movie will be nothing more than a man standing before a firing squad. Cha, try and follow Romero and Nicholson...right!
New 'Batman' names its Joker
Heath Ledger to take on role of criminal mastermind
LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Batman is heading into a sequel, titled "The Dark Knight," and he will face off against the Joker, this time played by Heath Ledger.
Christian Bale, the star of last year's "Batman Begins," will reprise his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Christopher Nolan is returning to the directing chair.
Ledger, Oscar-nominated this year for his role in "Brokeback Mountain," resurrects a murderous role memorably played in 1989 by Jack Nicholson in Tim Burton's "Batman."
"Batman Begins" was a critical and commercial hit, and relaunched the Warner Bros. franchise.
An early 2007 start date is being eyed for the sequel. Before then, Bale and Nolan will be in theaters this fall with the Disney release "The Prestige."
