The Joker Begins

carrotosaurus:


The new face of the Joker for the new Batman movie. Opinions?

Ozymandias:
...Heath Ledger is going to haunt my dreams.

I saw that a few days ago. There's about eight billion cat macros that can express my opinion, all of which along the lines of "Does Not Want."

I was disappointed enough in the choice of Ledger for the Joker, I can't stand him and find him to be an awful actor.

Add to that his insistence that there's no reason to do any serious research into the role by looking into the comics (Anna fucking Paquin wore gloves for six solid months to prep for playing Rogue, the least you could do is pick up the Killing Joke, dude).

Then factor in it looks more like something out of Saw or Fight Club and my approval of Joker in the Dark Knight is at about rock bottom. I have a lot of faith in Nolan after Begins, but still, I do not care for this look in the slightest.

Lines:
Ew, no. I didn't see him as a good fit for the Joker and I still don't. And if he's not doing any research on the Joker from the comics, that's just silly. I really hope I'm not disappointed, because the first movie was done so well. (Personally, I think it's going to be hard for anyone to play the Joker as well as Jack Nicholson. Heath Ledger is no Jack Nicholson.)

Ozymandias:
Mark Hamill's voicing of the Joker was ten trillion times better than Nicholson.

Jack is not the end all be all of Jokers. Not even close.

I mean, come on: they cast Liam Neeson as Ra's Al Ghul. A British guy to play an immortal Arabic dude. Turns out, they went in a different, and still significantly awesome direction.

The only casting that seemed perfect from the outset was Bale as Batman. And that's only because you can cast Bale as Dorothy from Wizard of Oz and he's still perfect casting.

I have faith in Nolan. He knows what he's doing.
