The new Batman costume looks awesome in motion.

However, when they’re showing pictures of the cast, the Joker photo they show is NOT Heath Ledger. It’s a picture of Conrad Veidt from a 1928 film called The Man Who Laughs, which was actually an inspiration for the Joker’s first comic book appearance in 1940.

Careless and shameful, NBC!

But I’ll forgive you for covering my most anticipated movie.

And for making sure that Tina Fey is on my TV every week.

On a side note, I’ve respected Al Roker ever since he was in that Seinfeld episode where he stole Kramer’s gyro on the subway and hit on Elaine.

Wizard has posted the cover of its 2008 Movie Spectacular, which reveals yet another new official photo of Heath Ledger as The Joker:

And if you want to see the suit from the front, click here to check out the first official photo released by Warner Bros. back in June.

It reminds me of samurai armor in that it looks like a good blend of mobility and protection.
