Who Should Play The Joker?

Without revealing any spoilers the newly released Batman Begins obviosuly opens the doors for the character of Joker to make an appearance in the film's sequel. Now comes the question: Which actor should play the Joker in the sequel?

The following names have been thrown into the mix along with many more.

Lachy Hulme

Crispin Glover

Feel free to throw in any actors you think are suitable for the role as well.

Thats a hard question. Are you sure they will make another movie?

Crispin Glover...'nough said!

He would be just the right amount of weirdo and creepy the part needs!

Bale, Oldman and Cain are signed for two more already

Edward Norton maybe?

Wow, I actually had the exact same picture saved to my comp and was going to post it when I created the thread but I chose a different one instead.

Anyway, he is the best suggestion I have heard thus far and I feel he would fit perfectly into the atmosphere Chrisopher Nolan has created for the films.

If only Mark Hamill was taller and younger. He would be perfect in my opinion. I mean when I think of the Joker i think of his voice.

Actually now that you mention it, we created an article today about actors being considered and Mark popped up. Although he isn't very ideal for the role in my opinion, he does have the perfect voice so unless they used his voice in the place of another actor's own then I don't see how he could really be involved.

MH's Joker was absolutely amazing. I consider that better than Nicholson's, which was still really good. That'd be cool if they could get someone to play the role and then dub Hamill's voice over it, without it looking ridiculous and misplaced.

The bad guy from the first Series of 24.

He's currently in "Revelations".

I just saw him and thought - wow, he looks like a good Joker. Perfect hairline, age, face shape, grin, and can act.

I cant see how they are going to get someone to beat jack nicholsons performance

Jim Carrey

damn i wasnt even thinking Glover would fit as joker till i saw that side by side pic....guess he would be good. I think he would be better as the riddler tho' he could bring a darker, less goofy side of riddler than carey did Hard choice, either way he should play one of the two, the pic in the first post--riddler, the side by side--joker

Mark hamill, he even looks like the failed comidian who turned into the joker from the killing joke!!!

Um.... Jack Nicholson was already the Joker. They are not going to redo the sequel, and if they do, so help me god...

Not making much sense LordSorgo,

I still believe that Glover is a good pick for the role of Joker although I'm not entirely sure he has the voice and or the vocal ability for the role. If Willem Dafoe hadn't already played the Green Goblin he would likely make a decent Joker in the next Batman film in my opinion.

I reckon Crispin Glover would make the perfect Joker in future Batman movies. He looks the part.

If Willem Dafoe hadn't already played the Green Goblin he would likely make a decent Joker in the next Batman film in my opinion.

True if Dafoe didn't do the Green Goblin, he wouldn't be too bad, but don't you think he looks a bit too old, TFP? 🙂

Not a bad choice though, but I have to go with your very 1st post in this thread, Mr Crispin Glover borg

There can only be one Joker and that is Jack Nicholson.

That's true as well, Jack Nicholson did an awesome job as the Joker, but I guess it's time to give other actors a chance as well.

Nicholson did a phenomenal job as the Clown Prince of Crime!

Valid point, even if he hadn't already played the Goblin he would still be a bit too aged for the role.

Nonetheless, I still go with Crispin Glover as I previously stated.

As for Jack, if there is an actor out there who can give a credible and convincing twist on the legendary role of the Joker then I believe it is finally time for Jack to pass on the torch to a predecessor. After all, it has been a lengthy 16 years since we last saw the Joker on the big screen and the numbers will nearly reach 20 by the time a sequel to Batman Begins is released.
