Jim Carrey For Joker!!!

Seriously!I KNOW HE'LL DO GREAT!!!!!!!

He was a terrible Ridler, I dont see why we should let the goofy bufoon ruin the joker as well. The joker has to have MENACE.

Jack Nicholson did a decent job when playing Joker, but I can not say it scared me one bit. I found him funny and a bit mean (just like my aunt). But menacing ? No, not really.

I don't like Jim Carrey at all. He does nothing but ruin movies with his over the top annoying attempts at comedy.

I'm not a fan or so, but I respect him. He can do more than look stupid in "Dumb and Dumber". In "The Cable Guy" he was a bit menacing, and in the "Truman Show" he acted very good ! Same for "The Majestic", "Man on the Moon" and "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless Mind".

Not trying to convince anybody, just pointing out he IS a good actor.

I rest my case.

Hmmm... I think The dude who played Titus's brother on the show... Titus would make a BADASS carnage or joker. Preferrably carnage, but id settle for joker.

Jack was not a decent Joker. He was THE Joker. No one will ever do as good of a job as Jack did.

he was the best villian in any comic based movie....bar none.

hmmm, jim carrey as joker??? i've have to go with a big NO on that one. he just doesnt fit the part. sure he played a good bruce allmighty. but the joker?? 2 different things all together. i dont think J.C. should ever play in another super hero movie again. although he did do a good job in "the cable guy". i thought he played a good villain. or "me myself and irene" his other personality was pretty menacing "its hard to hit a moving target". he was just about to whip ass in that part, if the guy hadnt hit him with the gun.

i dunno man, william dafoe played an AWSOME hobgoblin. i dont think they get much better than that. but i do agree that Jack is right up there with him.

Exactly he was THE best and only person who could play the Joker.

I agree that Jack Nicholson made the ultimate Joker up to this point. However, that's up until this point. But there's always room for improvement. Even on such a masterful performance as that one.

I agree Jack was good...Ian McKellan was a few sateps above him in my opinion. But McKellan is a better actor than Nicholson

Jack Nicholson - fat, old, pathetic, bald.

The Joker - skinny, in his prime, dangerous, full head of green hair.

Anyone else notice a discrepancy?

Nicholsons "This is stupid so Im not even going to try" almost sank Batman - the image of that fat ass prancing around to the product placed PRINCE song will haunt me forever. Look at jacks turn in the SHINING if you want to see how he acts when he's investing in a character - THATS some scary shit - his joker was a sleepwalk.

But back then, there were many other persons who also could play the Joker :

Anthony Hopkins
Gary Oldman
Christopher Walken
Al Pacino
Christopher Lloyd

...just to name a few.

Back to topic : I would like to see JC (Jim Carrey, not Jesus Christ) play the role of the Joker. I think it would be great.

fear srry but i gotta disagree on that one 😬 Nicholson is one of the best ... The reason they picked him as joker has greatly to do with his level best exemplified by One Who Flew over the Cokoos Nest 🙂 considered as one of the greatest performances by an actor and cast ever. McKellan only has the old person act down... he doesn't have the energy to play a good rambunctious villian.

Or even better : go watch "Richard III", about probably the most evil person of his time (according to Shakespeare). The way McKellen plays Richard III is breathtaking. He IS the devil...

He's one of the greatest actors ever - you may quote me on that. A shame it took so long (LOTR, X-Men) for the public to get to know him.

Picture of McKellen as Richard III :

I'm not saying Sir Mck would make a good joker - or that this movie doesnt gut and bastardize the script of RIII

But Sir Ians Richard the 3rd is an complex evil jaw dropper sure enough ... it's worth seeing the film for that reason alone.

No one even looked at my post. I feel sad.
