I don't hate it per se, but it could've been a HELL of a lot better. I mean come on....I'm also gonna quote myself from the "Who should play the Joker" thread as to why i disliked Jack Nicholson as the Joker:

His acting is very good, but IMO it wasn't what was needed for the joker. He had awesome lines, but that's not because of Jack Nicholson. Jack Nicholson also had a crappy body IMO for the Joker. He was too old, too fat, and not nearly "graceful" enough if you get my drift. He didn't have the right nose, and the make-up used on him looked like crap. The only thing he got right were the jokes....and even then there was just something wrong about the voice. Hamill is the obvious best choice for voice IMO, but an entire movie with voice-over simply wouldn't work. Now that i'm done bashing Nicholson, lemme add my little piece of thought:- Glover has the insanity part down, has the right physionomy (sp?), and is perfect in fits of rage. However, i think the character would be lacking in the "jokes" part. He'd be the opposite of nicholson. Nicholson - funny but not dark enough, Glover - dark but not funny enough.
- Sean Penn....well, he did an excellent job in Mystic River, but again, i'm not sure about the "joke" part. he COULD do it, but he might come out looking like someone trying really really hard to do something someone else would do with ease.
- Ed Norton would look like a transvestite .....really......He's an AWESOME actor, and i loved him in every movie i've seen him in. He was feckin INCREDIBLE in Fight Club, and that part where he loses his temper and beats the crap out of the blond dude (knocking all his teeth out) was VERY joker-like......but i just don't think he has the looks for a Joker. Not to mention if they go with the "Jack Napier" background, he'd prolly make a crappy gun for hire.
- Jude Law is also an awesome actor. One of his best roles, in Road of Perdition was awesome, and also very joker-esque. I think he'd make an excellent candidate if he buffed up a bit.
- Joe Viterelli droolio
As for the rest of the actors mentioned, i don't know them well enough to comment. Thanks for reading this...if you did.

That pretty much sums it up with me disliking the way the Joker was portrayed in that movie

I can see your point about his physical attributes actually, but the fact is not much of the audience seemed to mind it because Nicholson simply stole the show with his acting. But you are right in a sense, this joker wasn't quite as er 'smooth' as lets say the cartoon joker.
I really find it hard to picture anyone taking on the role at the moment, if anyone, probably Eddie Norton.

Oh hell yes! I would love to see Norton get the part. He has yet to fail me plus he is tall and skinny and can play as a crazy man.
Hmm.......he's an incredibly awesome actor......that can also do crazy awesome scenes.....fight club being living proof...........but still.......there's something about him that i'm not convinced about....maybe it's the egg-shaped head, maybe it's the whimpy voice......but....i dunno 😬

Yeah I could understand why people would like Batman 89 the best if they werent Batman fans and didnt understand the character because Kim Basinger makes the movie worth sitting through 😄 but for anybody whoever read the comic,I will never understand why they like that crappy film especially over Batman Begins. 🙄
