Didn't Mark Hammil say in an interview that he CAN'T do the Joker voice if anybody is watching him? Aside from all the myriad other reasons why he wouldn't be good for the part, that's a pretty good strike against him right there.

I don't know about Heath Ledger because I haven't really seen his acting chops in any role that reminds me of the Joker, but I guess with make up they could make him LOOK the part at least...but it seems to me that there are plenty of other people who already DO look the part very well (Glover for instance) AND have a healthy crazy streak running through them.

They did a good job with Batman Begins, so for now I have faith that they know what they're doing...but I am a little disappointed.
