I think its funny. You'd think the clean cut looking one would be the one that applied make-up while the ugly rigged one would be the one that was burned by acid. Who would have guessed acid makes you look more like a clown than make-up.

Well when Batman 1989's Joker unraveled his mask he wasn't looking well put together. His hair was a complete mess, but I am glad he found time to stop and get a comb and clean up pretty good before he offed his boss. LOVE THAT JOKER 😆

Agreed.. All the pics I have seen and all the reviews I've read all imply the same thing. Ledger's Joker faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar outweighs Jack's Joker. Not just that. It has been rumored around here in L.A. a whole lot that Ledger may receive a posthumous ocsar nomination.

I have heard this as well, Ledger has already beaten JN imo. Also what I`m hearing is that this movie is up there with some of the best Crime Drama movies and transcends the Comic Book movie genre it be great if TDK was nominated for Best Film.

Would you shut up? If you're not going to contribute to the thread, gtfo.

Anyway, if Heath is nominated for an Oscar, he deserves to win. I've heard so many good things about his movies. Can't wait to see TDK next week.

Let me guess, you heard that from BOF?

Honestly, they're over-hyping this movie...

Up there with the best crime drama films?

Better than GODFATHER? Better than GOODFELLAS? Better than HEAT?

Maybe the best comic book film, and maybe even the best film of the summer, and MAYBE even best film of the year, but I seriously doubt it's anywhere NEAR Godfather Part II's quality... I just can't see it...

There are many people overhyping this movie. I can't believe people are saying it's the best movie ever....when there are movies like the Godfather & Scarface are out there.

Not a fair comparation because we havent seen the dark knight yet, but Ledger's joker looks far superior to Jack's in the trailers and scenes that we have seen. Never a fan of Jack's joker, too much jack and too little joker. He was jack with a joker costume. Althought he had his good moments, he failed witht the character in my opinion. Also,making him the killer of Bruce's parents was just wrong.

But, i really believe that Heat's joker will surpass easily Jack's joker in the same way that Bale's batman did with Keaton's batman.

I've seen enough scenes to say yes.

There are still quite a few people who don't think Bale's Batman is better than Keaton's though. And I think the same will remain for Jack's Joker vs Heath's because they're both so different people are gonna pick which one they like and that will be that IMO. Personally from what I've seen I DON'T like this interpretation of the Joker character but it looks like Heath did a good job with what he was directed to do, so I'm not knocking him for it, this is just to me a completely new kind of Joker and I'll either go in and with the tone and the mood of the movie I will catch on and accept him, or I'll just think it was a mistake but still try to enjoy other aspects of the film anyway.

Ok well all I can see Bale as is Bateman then 😆 😕 LOL I mean that's not true but Keaton owned in the Bat suit. He was NOTHING like Beetlejuice when he was wearing it, or at any other point in the movie.

Not just that. To this day when I watch Batman with Keaton, I just see Mr. Mom in a rubber suit. BALE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>KEATON.

Because Keaton didnt look anything as batman or bruce wayne. I think that he is a great actor, but just wrong for batman. Bale , in the other hand, is even a better actor and just right for batman and bruce wayne.

The thing about Bale is, when he plays a role, i dont see him as anything else BUT that role in that certain movie

hes my favorite actor because of this

even tho i cracked a joke yesterday saying

"Hello im John Connor and ive been sent back in time to be BATMAN"

but thats besides the point!

That is the most shallow reason to not like an interpretation I have ever heard...

That's like saying Heath Ledger hardly looks like Joker...

And Liam Neeson looks nothing like Ras Al Ghul...

And when did Harvey Dent dye his hair blonde?

But are those interpretations good in their own right? Absolutely...

His interpretation was fine, it's just some fans can't get over the fact that he wasn't every woman's fantasy...

I do think his Bruce Wayne could've been better but his Batman was straight out of the comics. Dark, brooding, and as quiet as possible when he needed to be. Honestly, I don't see why anything in the 1989 movie gets so much hate because it was so well put together.
