I personally think it's a badass change and I think a lot of people that were whining at first have come around as more pictures and footage have been released.

I agree. Ledger's performance as The Joker is chilling (from the little I've seen). From a success standpoint, I hope the movie isn't too intense for kids. Kids attendance adds a lot to the box office. It's kind of funny that Spider-man (I think) suddenly started shooting webs without his web-shooters (after the success of the movies).
As far as the Joker in comics goes (it's been a long time since I've read) I seem to remember a pretty sadistic Joker in "The Killing Joke." I guess a lot depends on who's writing the material. I think you're right that he'll be portrayed more and more Ledger-like.
There's an interesting article about the recent troubles going on at DC as of late. I didn't know anything about it until I read this article (don't know how true it may be).
