Joker is all about the show. He loves to perform, if somebody gets hurt, or even dies, on with the show!

He kills at the drop of a hat, but not to kill, he doesn't gain pleasure from killing, he gains pleasure from watching the reactions to his "show". That is why he is truly twisted, and that is where the whole Adam West 12342342 different ways to try and kill Batman came from. The Joker would try to find the most messed up ways possible to kill people, and see if the Batman could save them as part of his performance.

It seems to me that maybe Ledger can get back to this and play the Joker the way he is meant to be played.

I also hope that they explore the mental capacitiy of Batman, the second smartest man in the world, instead of his elite ninja capabilities that you see maybe once every three comics.

However if you totally ignore the comics and look at Batman Begins as a clean slate, they did a great job with the character and really made it Hollywood friendly. I enjoyed the movie from a non-comic related point of view.
