Jim carrey as the joker

jim shuoldn t play the joker

I would rather have Jim than Justin Timberlake playing the role. THough maybe one guy who could do it kinda has the look of a crazy man, not sure on his acting skills Chiko off x-factor... 😄

Jim Carrey has the potential to do a good Joker but the problem is he can't control himself and it seems he has to do everything over-the-top.

I think we all pretty much think the same thing. He'd be over the top and ruin the character, despite his other successes. And I think we'd all agree that he'd be better than Adam Sandler haha. Billy Madison is awesome but I wouldn't want The Joker going "zabadoo!"

LOL... so who SHOULD play Joker?

The downside of Cillian Murphy playing the Scarecrow, is now he can't be the Joker. He would be great, with that creepy smile.
Christopher Nolan does like British actors in his films. Maybe Jude Law, or Guy Pearce.

Haha the Joker can't be British. That'd be crazy.

Of course I guess Scarecrow was Irish...so I'll take that last post back.

I think Joker is definitely a yank...

Casting for Joker, I'd pick one of the following:

Adrien Brody, Mark Hamill (of course with a wig and lots of makeup and whatnot), Sam Rockwell, maybe Edward Norton, POSSIBLY Jude Law, and I don't know anything about Lachy Chulme but he might be good.

I definitely don't want to see Paul Bettany though, he never struck me as Joker-material.

Guy Pearce I would rather see as Two-Face/Harvey Dent

i dont like sam rockwell. he was stupid in the hitch hikers guide, very annoying. Lachy Hulme looks like the joker, i only saw him in Croc Hunter collision course and in the Matrix somewhere. I havent seen him in any other roles than the quiet cool guy.

If only... Willem Dafoe, the king of evil grins!

willem dafoe specializes in playing villains...ya, but I would like to have the Joker resemble the animated series Joker, will the long anglular face, etc

Last film, we had British guys playing Bruce Wayne, Thomas Wayne, James Gordon, Carmine Falcone - Joker doesn't have to be played by an American, or Canadian.

sometimes they let their accents slip though eh. Like when thomas wayne says "...so we built a cheap public transportation..." when he says transportation you can really hear the english accent. but i wouldnt have notice unless i knew they were british or whatever...

I didnt notice because i'm English...

gary Oldman was awesome... was ot really him or Jim Gordon having just stepped out of te pages of Year ONe?

That reminds me of Batman Forever when they're all at that Nygma business party thing. Bruce shows up and that girl with Riddler says, "How come you don't look so good in that suit?" and Jim Carrey has the weirdest little British accent as he says " Oh Shut up."

Well, back to the topic. Jim Carrey can't even pull of being American apparently. Let's leave the Joker to a "more interested man".

jim carrey is a god dam w**ker
