That just doesn\'t seem right. He always plays upstanding citizens and tough guys and shit. This is just really different. We\'ll see how he plays out. He may actually be a good Joker. I don\'t think he\'ll top Nicholson though.
-
Nicholson was a great joker just cause he\'s already one crazy mo-fo. I like Ledger\'s stuff though, and I hope he can pull it off.
-
Wait a second...What happens to Batman returns? I mean....Joker was presented and "made" for the first time there.
-
will be intresting to see how it goes, didnt even think of him to be the joker... hope its as goos as the first!!
-
ledger\'s voice is always monotone and low whenever i see him in a movie. Cant imagine him being ecentric like the joker.
-
I guess we will have to wait and see
-
Nicholson put on a strong performance as the joker,..it\'s going to be really hard to top that...he\'s right up there with that guy who played the joker back in those old batman joints from the 60\'s...:fro:...never really seen this cat perform, so like fred said,..we\'ll have to wait and see..
-
But Joker begins and ends in Batman Returns. He didnt exist before that. How are they going to put him in the sequel of Batman Begins?
-
oh yea great.. .that\'s exactly who i wanted to be the joker... perfect....

batman begins was a totally new line of batman story from the other movies. Ignore them, because hollywood is.

@ everyone who has criticisms towards this decision
YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT CASTING OR THE PROCESS SO PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP
Thank you, and have faith in Nolan who brought you the first movie.
Idiots.

No he wasn\'t, you idiot. Batman Returns was a Burton film and Joker was not even in it. Get your facts straight, dumbass.. If you don\'t know what you\'re talking about , then please, don\'t waste forum space with stupid fucking questions.
In Nolan I trust, he made excellent casting the first time.

little defensive for heath? wish u were his brokeback?
-
Oh no! Another Brokeback joke, how will we manage?
It amazes me that a good actor, can play a gay role and then somehow, everyone just ignores any talent he has, because well, he played that gay guy.
-
Count down to Jokeback Mountain in 5... 4...
-
overreaction from everybody. Was just pointing out the random anger from jumpman. Noone here says hes a bad actor, just most of his roles hes been pretty chill but badass, so its hard to see him talk all crazy being the joker.
-
I don\'t think he\'s a good fit for the role because AFAIK Joker isn\'t a gay ass cowboy fuckhead dumbshit
-
I have no problem with him playing the Joker.
I think it could be pretty awesome if he pulls it off.
-
Heath Ledger as the Clown Prince of Crime? o_0 I guess we\'ll have to see if he can pull it off. He\'s a good actor, but Jack Nicholson will be hard to top.
-

I don\'t think the movies are canonical. I mean, there are different Batmans, different mansions, different designs of the city. I think every movie or atleast actor playing batman is its own thing. I just take them as movies and judge them by that and not an actual sequence. I don\'t think Batman Returns is in a sequence of events as like Batman Forever, Batman and Robin. I have to say though, Batman Returns is the best one yet IMO.

I think Batman Begins is the best one. And whoever decided to cast George Clooney as Batman should be hunted down and killed.

Haha. I know, right? I still haven\'t seen Batman Begins. Who was Batman in that one?
-
Christian Bale. Watch it. The movie is awesome...except for Katie Holmes and her crooked face.

You\'re so positive lately, what\'s up with that.

He\'s finally getting laid ;)

Yeah no kidding right? I noticed that too.
I gotta get back on the wagon...
And I\'m pretty much married now so no... I\'m not getting laid.

Yea, the fun ends soon as they whip ya. Once married or close to it, you\'re pussy whipped, without the pussy.

Doubtful. Different batman, different movie, different storyline. And I thought he threw the Joker off a building.

Your marriage is what you make of it.

In the original movie he was knocked into a vat of acid (or whatever that crap was).

Are you sure that wasn\'t the Penguin? I\'m talking about Batman Returns. I could swear he was thrown off a building. Either way, you make me want to rent it now. Thanks a lot :p

The Joker wasn\'t in Batman Returns.

The Joker wasn\'t in Batman Returns.
Gah, I just wiki\'d the movie. Which one was Nicholson in?
EDIT: Nevermind. I figured it out. Man, its been so long since I\'ve seen those late 80s and early 90s films, everything just runs together. I better spend an afternoon, rent the batman movies and get caught up. But I still think that none of them are canonical, meaning they don\'t follow each other but are separate. I mean, come on. Different Batmans are still the same guy? Doesn\'t make sense that it goes in a sequencial order but Batman looks and sounds different as well as Gotham City.

Just remember to NOT WATCH the 3rd and 4th films. They are utter crap.

Which ones? I remember the one with Schwarzenegar (or however the hell its spelled) and the one with two face sucked. Batman and Robin and Batman something. I don\'t remember.

Yeah...those two. They made Bane a retarded sidekick in the 4th film with amazing lines such as "monkey work", despite the fact that Bane is one of the most notorious Batman villains of all time. :mad:
-
Was imo.
He\'s such a nobody now.
-
Well...ya know what I mean. :)
-
another thing...in the original batman Jack Napier (Joker) killed his parents infront of the theatre not some lowly mugger.
