That's Spider-Man's forte.

but spider-man is probably purposely lame to make the audience feel a little bit better.

If you go through the Batman comics, a lot of the jokes are one liners...

Funny to you. They were funny, just very subtle.

The way Nolan plans to portray Joker is the way i always imagined Joker, i didnt imagine the Joker to be a lame ass comedian who recited one liner jokes.
Thats all through the series. The thing about Joker is most of his jokes are only funny to him. Nicholson did a great job in that movie.

the point is, it looks like the writer of Burtons Batman TRIED to make people laugh. I know sadistic sick things won't make me laugh beacuse its just sick, but a dude gets melted by acid "you stole my balloons" its like "wtf" "that's not even...thats just stupid..."

My point exactly.

For example - SPOILER

@ the end of No Man's Land, Gordon shoots Joker in the knee, to which Joker says "Batman - you're just going to stand there and let him do that...oh wait - Commish, you're good! You shot me in the knee just like I shot your daughter" . (B/c as we all know, Joker is the reason Barbara is now a cripple). And he bursts into laughter. Now, to the characters in the film, that's not funny -- it's only funny to him. But to me, that's funny as hell.

Jack Nicholson is the Joker as far as im concerned. He nailed that part, it was made for him. I only wish he was in it more. "Never Rub another man's rubarb." "Lifes been good to me" "Im Glad your dead" "They don't make em like they use to ehh batsey?" Hell i think mostly everything that came out of his mouth was funny and that commericial was classic "Looks like he's been useing brand X" "And hair color so natural only ur undertaker knows for sure" those are great lines!

I hope the new Batman series doesn't just repeat the Batman movies from the 90's. I mean...what's after the Joker...are they gonna make another Batman movie with Penguin as the villain?

He is a very good actor, so yeah why not?

Many people thought that Christian bale was to much of a sophisticated actor to pull off batman, but those assumptions were shot down very quickly.

I mean really would you rather have ben affleck as the joker? Ledger has proven he has diversity in his abilities, so i think we will witness a far better incarnation of the joker than even nicholson.

thats what everyone said about reeves as superman, but routh did more than a fitting job as superman. Maybe thats because singer tried to make him as much like reeves as possible though from his recycled dialogue to presence eh

Shit man as much as i dig the nicholson joker i am eagerly awaiting the more darker joker. I thought no one would fill the bat cow of keaton, but bale proved that wrong for me

Is nolan directing the sequal? If so, there is nothing to worry about at all, He knows how to direct actors
