I don't know if you could get any better than Jack, frankly. He was damn near perfect in the first Burton-directed movie. But they're making a sequel to Batman Begins, so they need a younger Joker this time around.

Sports Interaction has some numbers up on who could be the next Joker:

Paul Bettany (currently playing Silas the albino in The DaVinci Code) is the favorite at 2.87.
Right behind him is Lachy Hulme (who was in The Matrix Revolutions and a few small Australian films) at 3.00.
Sean Penn is at 7.00. And while that would be totally awesome, probably doubtful. Anything Batman related seems too kitchy for him, even if is the Dark Knight Batman.

Will they go with the new guy? You never know. Take a shot!
