I came on to say Heath Ledger as The Joker.

Having read the thread, I also agree with Alan Rickman as Snape and Johnny Depp as Cap'n Jack Sparrow.

Ooh good one Onetoten.

Had the sound track on just the other day... [songs start going round in head, chukky considers donning flares]

Franca I did go to see Batman, and was blown away by it, what a brilliant film, and Heath Ledger, was awesome, totally unrecognizable as himself, I am definitely getting it on DVD when it comes out.
