Re: Who else hopes they get 'The Joker' look right?
In 89 i was 4.....i kept laughing at Jack Nicholson.....16 years later i'm still laughing. If THAT was scary...i mean.....come on
He was more like Bozo the clown...all fat and with crappy make-up
Ther performance was what made the character scary, because the look was anything BUT scary. If they want to get him right, i suggest him beeing leaner, meaner, with the large aquiline nose we all know and love (Mark Hamill - ) and perhaps just a tad bit more muscular. That's why i think Crispin Glover would be excellent. He's got just the right physical traits to make for a scary looking Joker, and still act out the part properly
The Joker is tall and about 190 pounds, which is one of the reasons I think Jim Carrey would be perfect. People disagree with me because they think he's incapable of playing anything but over the top roles, but watch Man on the Moon and you'll see why he should play the Joker.

Actually, the Joker was quite short and scrawny. And Jim Carrey has already played the Riddler and captured that pretty much on the spot. He doesn't really have the animosity to be scary and psycho. The Joker needs the be played by somebody that can kill a person and laugh while doing it. (Kind of like when Joker killed Robin in the comics.

Re: Re: Who else hopes they get 'The Joker' look right?
LOL Well said.When I saw the title of this thread I was thinking it meant who all wanted an actor that had the right physical build of The Joker. I totally agree with you about Crispin Glover.He would be a perfect Joker.I prefer Ceasar Romero Over Nicholson because like you said,Nicholson was fat and short,not the right build of the joker at all.Tim Burton should never have been allowed to direct a Batman movie because he never cared about getting actors that came close to fitting the roles of their comicbook counterparts.Yeah I thought Nicholson was laughable as well because he looked more like a clown than a scary villian like the Joker with Mark Hamill looked.

Yeah thats why Nicholson was so wrong for the role.I always thought they should have switched the roles around and cast Nicholson for The Riddler and Carrey as the joker because of their physical builds,plus their personalitys were more right for those roles as well.

Hmm. I still think that Fan Made Poster I threw up here not too long ago (You can find it in one of the mod's sigs, I dunno which one :O ) is perfect. A creepy, freaky not-quite-goth but milk white skin and black lipstick and GRROAR teeth and all that.
Since we seem to agree on that,just wondering,did you also hate Keaton for the choice of Batman as well because of how his physical build was so wrong for the role?

Yes, and also for his lack of acting talent as BATMAN. He was a good Bruce Wayne IMO, but a crappy Batman. Just like Val Kilmer was a great Batman, all dark and somber, but a pretty crappy Bruce Wayne.....
Gender: Male Location: in tule once again...:( away from m
lets see... Jim carrey was great as the riddler (the best thing about that movie imo)
i don't know who would be good for joker in the next film..
but that fan pic does look good. might change the hair and outfit. but the look would fit nice imo
oh and hi paola!

So did I actually, I thought Kilmers Batman was hopeless.
As for the Joker, I dearly hope Nolan gets it right, because the entire movie will hinge on how well the Joker is cast. If its a crap Joker, its a crap movie. Period.
