I was reading on Batman on Film.com and one of their trustworthy sources, Miranda Fox gave some new information about the movie...

This is from Batman on Film.com
* The Joker is “The Joker” throughout the film. There could be some classic Nolan “flashbacks” that vaguely hint at his origin, but there is no big “Joker origin story.”

* My guy “Chicago Extra” was correct in his description of The Joker (Heath Ledger), but there is a reason that The Joker’s neck isn’t white, but is “flesh-colored” (and I’ll leave it at that).

* The Joker will wear purple in the film. It may not be a literal translation from his comic book suit, but he wears purple.

* A “gash smile” is a better description of The Joker’s grin than “cut smile.”

* Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Rachel has a bigger part in TDK than the character had in BATMAN BEGINS.

* The Scarecrow, played by Cillian Murphy, will be back.

* The new Batsuit will be more “fabricky” -- this jives with what BOF was told months ago. The bodysuit is said to be a tad lighter, kinda grayish. “Fabricky chain mail” was the description.

* Montoya, yes. Bullock, no.

You're welcome.

I'm such a Batman freak and when I read these I was just going nuts especially the fact that Scarecrow will be back in the movie. I know that every fan of Batman is going to love this movie along with Nolan's take on The Joker.
