A bunch of new pictures from the next, eagerly awaited chapter of the Batman sage, The Dark Knight, have snuck online. (Click on the above image to enlarge it.) You can see all the photos here and here - see them while you can, they may not last long. Christian Bale is back in the bat suit, and it looks like he gets a new "Batcycle" to play with as well. Michael Caine is also on hand as faithful manservant Alfred Pennyworth, and there appears to be multiple Batmen (?) too, but the big reveal is our first good look at Heath Ledger as the Joker.
As you can see from the above photograph alone, he looks, well, insane. (Which is a good look for the Joker, of course.) Stringy hair, washed-out make-up and some kind of tight-fitting purple get-up that proves that Christopher Nolan's take on the crown prince of crime is as far from the over-the-top hamminess that was Jack Nicholson's performance as you can get.
The Dark Knight will swoop into theaters next summer.
