I like it, don't get me wrong, but fanboys are going to be up in arms about this.
The Joker is a very vain, self conscious person. Self Mutilation is the last thing taht character would do. Hell, he dresses in a suit all the time. He likes to inflict misery and pain on others, not himself. The Joker has never been able to handle physical pain. I don't like the idea of a self mutilated Joker, but I'll play ball if that's the way they want to go with it.
I really think Heath Ledger is going to pull this role off though. I know a ton of people bashed that choice, but that man is a damn good actor, as much as I hated him at first, because he made shit movies.
