Who else hopes they get 'The Joker' look right?

In the 89' Batman, The Joker had a great very scary look to him.

I'm worried that in this Batman sequel The Joker's make-up wont have that good scary look that it had in the 89' Batman.

Who's with me?

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 👆

Nah, i was actually hoping that Joker will look crappy and dumb. Not scarey or wierd at all. Yeah, i think a guy with a plain white face will do.....

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.

Crispin Glover all the way! Jack Nichalson will still be the best!

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.

I can't see Nicholson playing the Riddler, or Carrey as The Joker. JC's jokes aren't evil enough for Joker

I don't like it.......he looks more like a zombie than the joker 😬

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 😮 ) is perfect. A creepy, freaky not-quite-goth but milk white skin and black lipstick and GRROAR teeth and all that.

Wow, somebody actually agreeing to what i think of Batman '89 😱
I agree. And i really really hope Crispin Glover gets the part 👆

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.....

Thats strange that you thought that because I felt it was the other way around.

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.
