Joker Casting Threads [merged-30]

[Carmine Falcone]

I agree, I want him as Joker.
Your avatar is great BTW :D:up:

Who me?

[Carmine Falcone]

yes you with Schumacher, hillarious

[RedIsNotBlue]

Haha...thanks. :batman:

[DarkKnight101]

In my opinion, The Joker has to be played by one of these men:

1. Paul Bettany
http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/columbia_pictures/a_knight_s_tale/paul_bettany/knightpre3.jpg

2. Adrien Brody
http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/oscars/75th_academy_awards_luncheon_photos/adrien_brody/lunch4.jpg

3. Crispin Glover
http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/columbia_pictures/charlie_s_angels__full_throttle/crispin_glover/charliepre3.jpg

4. Lachy Hulme
http://archive.gamespy.com/interviews/february03/matrixactors/lachy_s.jpg

5. Edward Norton
http://adorocinema.cidadeinternet.com.br/personalidades/atores/edward-norton/edward-norton04.jpg

My choices are all right for The Joker. They have the build, the right height (around 6'), around Bale's age, and are very talented and respected actors (I only saw Hulme in The Matrix, but I'm sure if he gets the part, he will become a very famous and respected actor)

[P. Cushing]

Out of those Hulme and maybe Glover are the only ones suitable for the Joker. But I'd prefer Dafoe or Weaving.

[Mike_D]

Out of all the possible actors, I think Dafoe would be the least probable one to be picked (cause he already played a villain in a comic book movie and is well known for the role).

I say Glover. In fact, there should be a website devoted for Crispen Glover to be THE JOKER...maybe I'll make one. OR, I could make a site in which people can vote on a poll for a select few actors that we wish would be given the chance for the role. We could have fan art too.

...on second thought, that'd be too much work...the only motivation I'd have is as if I knew Crispen Glover may have a chance at getting the role. I really wish I could believe that, but knowing how things go, they'll probably go with another unknown. Until then, we can only do what we fans can do:

CRISPIN GLOVER FOR THE JOKER!!!

There is great and very underrated actor, that everyone always forget, but everybody like.....and he would be great for the role of The Joker.
The great Michael Wincott...

Just look at his facial features, The nose being the main thing, it's perfect for the Joker. He also has those creepy eyes. When I look at him I can just see him as the Joker.

http://www.webwombat.com.au/entertainment/movies/images/hulme2.JPG

Yes, but have you seen him in anything that tells you he'd make a great Joker?

There are plenty of lanky, big-nosed actors. You can't go on appearance alone.

I'm not saying he's wrong for the Joker, since I'm only going by pictures and a small role in a Matrix movie. But I just don't understand how so many others can say he's perfect for the role, going simply on the same evidence.

[RedIsNotBlue]

There is nothing that really shows him acting like the Joker but what I have seen from him I think he has the acting ability to pull it off. Watch Let's Get Skase for more of a look on his acting skills.

[General_Grievous]

I totally agree, some fine suggestions here!

[Smegger56]

http://img132.exs.cx/img132/2889/smith2fo.jpg


Come on folks... Mr. Smith. just look at that laugh. The guy can be dark as proven, witty, and down right psycho.

HUGO 'BOSS' WEAVING IS THE JOKER :joker:

[Smegger56]

Edward Norton
http://adorocinema.cidadeinternet.com.br/personalidades/atores/edward-norton/edward-norton04.jpg

My 2nd choice would be Ed Norton. If they can't get HUGO 'BOSS' WEAVING, then get this guy. He does kick ass.

But please... i hope it's Hugo 'Boss' Weaving

[General_Grievous]

No way, definitely Lachey Hulme.

Most of the people here say him, so that is the consensus.

[The Last Meatbag]

I personally think we need a younger joker..... since most of the new characters are young

[Dark Knight]

There is great and very underrated actor, that everyone always forget, but everybody like.....and he would be great for the role of The Joker.
The great Michael Wincott...

this guy is very good actor and plays the villains really well.......and he has experience with the sword. Robin Hood, The Crow, The Muskateer......he is good.

Wincott- "but why a spoon cousin?? why not an ax or a machete,,,,,or......

Alan Rickman- "because it's dull and it will hurt more you idiot"! - Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Classic....

[General_Grievous]

Very good suggestions, keep them coming.

[HarleyLover]

There really are many more potentially great candidates out there, if you don't limit your thinking to just skinny guys with big noses. Remember, these are actors. Actors, good ones at least, transform themselves for roles. And some subtle makeup and camera tricks can make all the difference.

Johnny Depp could do wonders with the role. There are few actors working today that transform themselves for every role like he does. You'll never see him look or act the same way twice. IIt'd also have that 'wow' factor that you get when you see a normally 'nice guy actor' playing it pure evil (Denzel in Training Day, Tom Cruise in Collateral). He's hot right now, so it may seem fashionable to cast him, but the truth is he's been doing consistently great and varied work for years. He's made for the role.

Robert Downey, Jr is someone else I could totally see in the role. Just look at his filmography- he does brilliant, intense work. He's very offbeat, yet charismatic. Plus, last time I heard, I think he's drug free at the moment! heh

[Timstuff]

http://www.michaelwincott.org/Galleries/TD025light.jpg

I could easily see this guy as Joker. :up:

I hope they don't give Joker a fixed smile though, because that would suck. Not only would it look dumb, but it would limit the actor's ability to convey emotions.

Your choices are awful :(

[General_Grievous]

Lets not spam each others ideas. Lets keep suggesting them!

Go Hulme!

[HarleyLover]

Your choices are awful :(

You are a tool with too much time on your hands.

[Captain_Obvious]

You are a tool with too much time on your hands.

good to know...

but I still have nice taste :P

[DavetheMick]

Heres a photo manip I made from Ichi the Killer movie cover. I think it would be cool to have the permanent smile, like Joker carved it into his face with a razor or something.
http://img230.exs.cx/img230/6039/joker1sf.jpg

[General_Grievous]

Yes, very good idea. Nice manipulation!

[Boss]

He reminds me of Dave Grohl.

Still, Ichi is a cool movie.

[JiMJiM]

i was watching The District today and i noticed this guy
http://midnightvamp303a.tripod.com/jlapaglia3.jpg

http://www.galleryofcelebrities.com/lapaglia04.jpg

jonathan lapaglia


i think he could pull it off pretty good

[antmanx68]

Well if you're still goin with the more playful, joking and lighthearted type joker then I guess you could still go with Jim Carey, I mean after all the guy can make the Joker's face without the need of make up, that has to count for somethin. I also think he was miscast for the Riddler role, that role was originally offered to Robin Williams who I thought was a better choice but he turned it down after he read the crappy script.

If you wanna go with a darker, homicidal and psychotic joker, my favorite btw, here's a name that hasn't been mentioned yet...how about Crispin Glover. Before you say no, remember his character in Willard.

All that being said I still think Jack did a great job as the joker. :joker:


Crispin glover is an insane person in real life, im sure he'd love to do the joker if they pitched it to him as a totally twisted demented murderer. I think he'd be great for a killing joke kind of origin too.... George McFly before..... Psycho nut job after.

[HarleyLover]

good to know...

but I still have nice taste :P

Hey, at least you like Family Guy.

[General_Grievous]

Family Guy is great

[Sluggo]

I'm all for losing the purple suit with Joker, that was added to the character during the Batman camp days, lets take him back to the crazy, stone-cold killer he originall was.

As for the origins, stick to the comdien who turns into the redhood to make some extra money and gets dropped into the acid by Batman story, but why not spread it over 2 films like Sam Riami has with Harry Osborn. Have him work for Two-face (or whoever the villian in Batman 2 is) or being a secondary villian with a small part like Scarecrow in BB, then have a scene at the end of Batman 2 to set up that hes still alive to set up Batman 3. Just look at how much excitment Harry finding his fathers GG stuff caused/is causing about Spider-Man 3 (and who can say that wasn't a great movie moment), if it works steal it.

[logan_weapon_x]

The purple could be very subtle, as in very, very dark purple, kinda brown look to it.

I'd go for the Killing Joke origin. I'd have the movie start off with the Joker pre-established. Not show any pictures of him, just rather have newspapers with artists renderings of him in a bright purple suit with the green hair and white face.

However, when he is revealed, he has a dark purple suit, his face is not so much white, but more pale, and the green hair is very dark.

[Mike_D]

It's already been established that the Joker ALREADY exists in the movie...





Scarecrow releases him along with a bunch of other lunatics out of Arkham. Also the ending leaves a cliff hanger with the mentioning of the joker card left at a crime scene.




So whatever origin they do they'll have to use flashbacks.

-Mike

[General_Grievous]

True. But you have to use spoiler tags because you may have ruined the endig there for several people.

Your entire post should have spoiler tags around it dude!

[Uncle Bingo]

I just can't wait to see Joker in the sequal to Begins.

[The Techno Bat]

maybe the Joker should have his white straight jacket slowly become a dark red color throughout the movie with all the killings he does (blood spraying on it and whatnot) could work with a white suit as well

[General_Grievous]

I dont want a white suit, it would be too reminiscant of the Dark Knight Returns Joker, who was also gay...:(

[Carmine Falcone]

Great statue. :up:

[General_Grievous]

I agree. But the film Joker should not look like that?

[RedIsNotBlue]

I agree. But the film Joker should not look like that?

Hell no. He looks like a drag queen.

[General_Grievous]

Agreed.

[Carmine Falcone]

Joker was not gay.

[General_Grievous]

He was gay in the Dark Knight Returns. He called Batman "darling".

[RedIsNotBlue]

He was gay in the Dark Knight Returns. He called Batman "darling".

Thats your only evidence?

[General_Grievous]

No, it also states this fact in the book "How To Draw And Sell Your Own Comic Strips"

It came from a good book, so I believed it. Anyway, lets keep this debate roaring!

[Carmine Falcone]

He was gay in the Dark Knight Returns. He called Batman "darling".

No. He was in Arkham all chilled out, and he heard about Batman's return on the news and something snapped in his mind because of hearing that name aafter 10 years.
He calls him darling from then on, because he's become even more insane.

[General_Grievous]

Sorry. I thought this was true, but a lot of people were saying he is gay in this interpretation. He certainly looked it.

[Farva]

I cant say there is direct evidence of a 'gay joker' in DKR, but there definitely was an effeminate element to the character, in clothes, facial expressions, dialogue and poses.

[General_Grievous]

I agree. Maybe many jumped to a conclusion of him being gay though.

[Timstuff]

Would people object to the prospect of Joker's chemicle accident only bleaching his skin, and he then colors his hair and wears red lipstick? This could possibly bring a little more "realism" to the character, however I'm not sure if people would like it if he didn't emerge from the ooze looking like the Joker we all know, and instead evolved into his comicbook self over a few scenes.

[darknight7]

...He's tall, skinny, lanky, pointed chin, big nose...


he's...

...CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON

...and i vote him for Joker:p

I like that idea, i heard of it a while ago when i read my Mythology book, by alex ross. And it was Ross, who wrote that he beleives that only jokers skin was bleached by the chemicals, and that his hair lost colour ..........and the dye/lipstick was added on later by the joker himself to complete his character. I do like this better, it makes sense and is very realistic.

--dk7

[Detective Flass]

If you pick other, then specify who.

[Two-Face]

Lachy Hulme


Why is Jim Carrey's name on the list? since he played The Riddler in Batman Forever
wouldn't be confusing to people?

[Timstuff]

Hulme or Depp would be pretty safe choices. But it greatly depends on how big the actor's grin is. Also, whoever plays him, I think that they should have him wear prosthetic teeth so that he'll have the huge toothy smile that we all know from the comics and cartoons.

[Detective Flass]

Lachy Hulme

I just took names from The Joker thread. I wouldn't want Jim playing Joker either. He'd camp it up and make the audience confused.

...I think Tim Roth would make a magnificant Joker.

[P. Cushing]

Since you left my three top choices off the poll and neglected to put an "Other" option I shall declare this poll inadaquate.
Willem Dafoe:
http://biografieonline.it/img/bio/w/Willem_Dafoe.jpg
and the fact that he was in Spiderman is not a good reason for him to be excluded, especially since he looks exactly like the Joker, is one of the best actors in the world and has said he wants to play other comic book villains.

I actually prefer the story of the Joker being changed by the acid completely, because I really wouldn't like to see such a cool villain like the Joker apply lip stick.

Lachy Hulme
Christopher Eccleston
Jude Law

oh yes,i totally forgot about Willem Dafoe...
well he was Green Goblin, but I'll be happy to see him playing Joker.

[P. Cushing]

Yeah. Who gives a **** wether he was in another comic book movie? People still want Jude Law for the Riddler, even though he was in Road to Perdition. And I've seen a lot of support for Michael Keaton as Jigsaw, despite the Burton Batman movies.

[psycho]

Lachey Hulme is my choice.

[Carmine Falcone]

This is thread #100000564738236287348 about who should play Joker :)

[Nightwing: Endgame]

Tim Roth or Depp!

[Detective Flass]

Tim Roth needs to play The Joker.

[Two-Face]

Tim Roth needs to play The Joker.

in ur sig it says L"achy Hulme for Joker"

I don't quite get it now u say "Tim Roth = Joker"


:confused: :confused:

[Detective Flass]

Sadly Tim Roth isn't one of the two main contenders as the Joker. Bruce Spence and Lachy Hulme are, so I might as well pick one or the other.

OH SCREW IT! I'm changing my sig. :D

Lachy Hulme for Joker

http://www.cgcp.org.mk/pictures/AlanCumming.jpg http://images.countingdown.com/images/countdowns/movies/1466/1011/3358448_main.jpg

He is very versatile, skinny guy who who is a talented major movie and broadway actor. He has all the tools for the character. His hair and expressions are somewhat jokerish to begin with. He can prance around and be silly and also be totally maniacal. He's good at playing over the top, eccentric villain types... he aLso he has experience acting under heavy makeup.

He's been in Spy Kids, Son of the Mask, X-Men 2....

He would be perfect for the character... At least for a "Killing Joke" interpretation of Joker. (I could totally see him commanding a gang of chemically altered evil circus midgets.)

[Two-Face]

Hulme for Joker

[DorkyFresh]

ALAN CUMMING SHOULD PLAY THE JOKER!
HOLY COW!!!

Now THAT'S inspired casting!!! Kudos Antman!!!

[antmanx68]

Thanks man.... I'm telling ya, he could be great for it.

[Batty for Bats!]

Whenever i hear the name Alan Cumming, i think of crap movies. Except for X-2, (which by the way, i just realized that was him playing the blue buy, forgot the character's name..) I don't usually associate his name with "good" movies. He reminds me of PeeWee Herman...then again maybe im just biast :D .Go Hulme!

[Detective Flass]

http://www.urbancinefile.com.au/res/images/l/letsgetskase_lachyhulme1.jpg

Come one! He is a F list actor who nobody has heard of before now, I want someone relativly known. Someone I can trust that I know will be a good Joker. He was in the Crocodile Hunter Movie for Christ Sake!

Being known doesn't make someone right for a role. Booth is not known as an actor, yet you praised him being cast as Zsaz. Sometimes unknowns are a better choice(remember it was Christopher Reeve who convinced us a man could fly). He is actually a good actor. Yes Crocodile Hunter was a **** movie, but that doesn't make him an incompetent actor for being in it. He was actually quite good in Four Jacks and Lets Get Skase(thats where the pic you posted comes from, i loved his character in that movie).

Your post seems to tell me you have no better reason to go against him then simply for the fact hes an unknown. Which totally removes any respect I might have for your opinion.

[Detective Flass]

Also an unknown also played Captain America and made that one of the worst movies of all time.

How do you know that this guy can pull off the laugh, the look, and the essence of the Joker.

I didn't praise Booth, I was happy that someone got the role as Zsasaz and he was in the movie.

There is a certain amount of gamble of course to casting any unknown in a major role, but there are just as many instances of unknowns doing great jobs as there are poor ones. Some movies, like Superman: The Movie and Star Wars, in my opinion, would have been NOT AS GOOD if they had big name stars cast in the starring roles.

And how would you know? Well, I for one trust Nolan's judgement.

Arnie was known when he played Freeze. Remember that.

[Detective Flass]

But Roth isn't Arnold. Arnold is a big buget Action Star and Roth is a Art film actor who is a better actor then arnold. There is no risk with Roth.

[Maxwell Smart]

But Roth isn't Arnold. Arnold is a big buget Action Star and Roth is a Art film actor who is a better actor then arnold. There is no risk with Roth.

Roth is a good actor, but hes not really what the director wants. And honestly, he isn't what I want either. I think Joker should be tall like in the comics, and about the same age as Bruce/Batman.

[DorkyFresh]

Roth is a good actor, but hes not really what the director wants.
I just LOVE when fanboys think they know exactly what the director wants...
honestly, he isn't what I want
That's all you should've said. Don't assume that just because Tim Roth isn't what Christopher Nolan wants until you hear an official statement from him.

[Two-Face]

Nolan hasn't said anything about Joker casting he said he wants to get Batman Begins on the road first....

Maxwell Smart you said mark your words that Hulme will be Joker. I will do that and we'll see in 07'.

Tim Roth is my first choice. (You seen the pictures)

[Detective Flass]

That last pic looks like Bela Lugosi! :D

Lol! Yeah I found that manip on Google.

[cerealkiller182]

theres alot of actors i wud be content with(Spence, Roth, Weaving) but i think Crispin Glover wud be the best especially after watching Charlies Angels and Willard(both movies which sucked btw)

[Maxwell Smart]

Does anyone know whatever happened to that really good manip made of Hulme awhile back? I've been looking for it to no avail.

[Detective Flass]

Describe it.

[Maxwell Smart]

Okay, click on the "Hulme" link in my saig, it was made from that pic. His hair was green, and his skin whitened, lips redened, his shirt was made purple, and it didnt look fake AT ALL. It was one of the best manips I've ever seen, it looked very natural.

[P. Cushing]

I think I know the one you're talking about. If it's the one that was all blurred, it's in the sequel manip thread.

[DorkyFresh]

lol....i hope this isn't the one he's talking about....cuz if it is, it destroys all credibility he had.

or is this it?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v236/SilentType/lachyjoker.jpg

[CConn]

I've been for Crispin Glover for a long time, and I'm sticking with him. He's a great actor, can played quite f**ked up characters, even quite creepy himself, he's the best guy for the job, IMO.

Though, I will admit, Tim Routh would be a very good choice as well. :up:

[DorkyFresh]

It's ROTH.....not ROUTH! You've been in the Superman forums too long! hehe

[Maxwell Smart]

Dorky Fresh, those aren't the manips. Those suck, btw.

I think it might have been BOF I saw it on, on the news page a long time ago when the rumor of Hulme first came about.

Just messin' of course...but I think it'd still be pretty interesting to see....hehe

[Riverman_88]

Roth's evil glare is eating my soul :(

:joker: !!

[P. Cushing]

Dafoe DAMNIT!

[Detective Flass]

Dafoe won't get it! He already played the Green Goblin. Although he would have been good as The Joker.


Just hop on the Tim Roth band wagon.

[Spidey-Bat]

Just hop on the Tim Roth band wagon.

If you're steering the wagon, no way am I getting on it.

I'm on the fence on Joker. I'd prefer Hulme, but I can live with anyone as long as they have the look and a good laugh.

[FanWithoutFear]

Give me Crispin Glover for The Joker ANYTIME! He practically is the character in essence (if not appearance).

By the way, Willem Dafoe would've made an ideal Joker in the Tim Burton version back in the day if not for Jack Nicholson...

[DorkyFresh]

Someone said something about Joker being taller than Batman???

http://www.sykografix.com/articles/article16/rotj-batman-joker-1.jpg

Batman's hunched over....Joker's standing almost upright and Batman's STILL a couple inches taller than Joker.

[Spidey-Bat]

to me, it makes no difference. Joker can still play his "tricks" to throw-off Batman and Batman can still kick his ass.

Even if one was a dwarf and the other was almost 6' 8"

[Detective Flass]

toldya's The Joker was a shorty! :p

[Detective Flass]

to me, it makes no difference. Joker can still play his "tricks" to throw-off Batman and Batman can still kick his ass.

Even if one was a dwarf and the other was almost 6' 8"


Like I said. Size doesn't matter!

[Spidey-Bat]

Even if Hulme was Joker, he's a few inches taller than Bale. But with the boots and cowl, Batman would look taller than him.

In my Batman: The Ultimate Guide to the Dark Knight, it says Joker is 6' 5"

[Detective Flass]

Nolan doesn't have to get everything on the money.

This is ridiculous that people are just judging because of his height. Hulm has way more against him! Roth is a little short, so what!

[DorkyFresh]

Scarecrow in the comics is at least 6 feet tall...

...Cillian Murphy is 5'8 or 5'9....just 1 or 2 inches taller than Roth, but you people worried about height aren't complaining about how Cillian is 3 or 4 inches shorter than his comic counterpart.

[DorkyFresh]

Even if Hulme was Joker, he's a few inches taller than Bale. But with the boots and cowl, Batman would look taller than him.

In my Batman: The Ultimate Guide to the Dark Knight, it says Joker is 6' 5"
Like I said...if someone can find a drawing of the Joker showing that he's taller than Batman, then that argument will have SOME water.....but until then...it's a dumb argument.

[geordie_batfan]

Dafoe!

[Spidey-Bat]

Dafoe would be awesome. But I highly doubt it'd happen since he was Green Goblin.

[Batty for Bats!]

Dafoe could have been great,..I wish he was just younger. He has the smile naturally. And he kicked @$$ as :gg:.

[Triad]

I just thought of a really good actor to play the Joker. IMO Denis Leary could play the part perfectly...we all know that he can play "evil" (ever seen "Judgment Night"?) and his humor is sick & demented enough to possibly fit with the Joker's persona, plus I think he looks the part. To those that think that he is too old, I'll make 2 points...He doesn't really look as old as he is (he's 47 and looks to be in his late 30's - Bale is 31) and secondly, who ever said that Batman's foes have to be his own age? I mean most of us agree that Jack Nicholson as Joker was the "definitive" Batman villian and he was about 15 yrs. or so older than Keaton. Anyway, it's just a thought...what does everyone else think?

[DorkyFresh]

Good call, triad. I think Denis Leary would make a SICK Joker....but I don't think Christopher Nolan is gonna wanna work with him. Besides...if Denis Leary played Joker, he'd act too much like Denis Leary and not enough like Joker. I still think it'd be interesting to see though...

[The Democrat]

LACHEY HULME IS THE JOKER... DAMMIT!:joker:!

[Triad]

Good call, triad. I think Denis Leary would make a SICK Joker....but I don't think Christopher Nolan is gonna wanna work with him. Besides...if Denis Leary played Joker, he'd act too much like Denis Leary and not enough like Joker. I still think it'd be interesting to see though...



Just curious, Why don't you think that Nolan would want to work with him? Is he supposed to be one of those "difficult actors"? And on the statement that he would end up acting too much like himself, I really don't get that. Isn't that what "acting" is all about...being someone else? Please don't get me wrong, I'm not one of the rabid-fanboys that will only accecpt his own actor in a given role - I just wanted to be clear on why you feel that way. It was only a suggestion, afterall. I agree with ya that it would be interesting to see.

[Judge Rico]

Vince Vaughn - Why not? He's skinny and he played Norman Bates in Psycho (1998). I'll try and get a picture from the end of Psycho where he's staring smiling right at the camera.

[Triad]

I see Vince Vaughn more as maybe Two-Face (although my 1st choice still is Guy Pearce), but you're right, he could pull it off I think.

[Joker831]

Its either Tim Roth or Jude Law for ME.

Lachy Hulme is too much of a gamble for me to risk on the best villain of them all! I dont care if he looks the part.....im counting on performance. Anyone can look like the Joker with some work done by the make-up department lol. Hulme isnt the best choice IMO.

I would say Crispin Glover, but i think i would be too wierded out to enjoy his Joker lol, i know that sounds stupid....but it wouldnt be bad if he was casted though.

But it's Tim Roth or Jude Law for me...........i hope one of them gets casted
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/Spidey-Boy523/joker.jpg

Jude Law is a great actor. He did a creepy character in Road to Perdition. He does look cool with the Joker gear on.....but i also believe he could give a heck of a performance. Same goes for Roth.

[P. Cushing]

Oh, Jesus! Why do people keep posting that awful manip!

[Spidey-Bat]

1) It's not bad
2) It hasn't been posted in a LONG time

It is. It's airbrushed to hell, completely unrealistic and Law's face has been streched out of proportion in liquify. It's baaaaad.

Actually he is pretty heavy.

[regwec]

I'm with Oldman on this one.

Dafoe will never play The Joker! Get over it people, he was already the Green Goblin, give up.

Not to mention the man is in his 50's.

Come one! He is a F list actor who nobody has heard of before now, I want someone relativly known. Someone I can trust that I know will be a good Joker. He was in the Crocodile Hunter Movie for Christ Sake!

Bale was in Shaft for Christ Sakes. Just because he's from another country doesn't mean he's an F list actor.

[Spidey-Bat]

Don't listen to Flass. He's an idiot.

Now that was just uncalled for, you show a real sign of weakness.

You personally attacked Hulme by calling him a F list actor and having no talent and so forth. Have you ever seen his movies where he plays a major character? You also always tell people they shouldn't vote for him, when it's their choice. And it is not as if this poll decides who will play Joker. It's just showing people's preference. It's a poll, not an election dumbass.

[scarymoviebff13]

i think Lachy Hulme is a great choice for joker but i was looking at pics of Timothy Olyphant and found an old pic of jack nicholson and i beleive that Timothy Olyphant would be a good choice

He is an F list actor, dumbass, What mainstream movie has he had a major role in? There has to be a reason for that.

Let's get Skase? Never heard of it before Maxwell Smart brought it up.

[Spidey-Bat]

He is an F list actor, dumbass, What mainstream movie has he had a major role in? There has to be a reason for that.

just because he isn't in a major role in a movie doesn't make him an F list actor. The reason for his not being in a mainstream movie is because the movie business is very hard to get into and it takes awhile to get out there. There are people who are very good actors and aren't in mainstream movies.

[Detective Flass]

But Roth is better suited for the role, acting wise, mainstream wise, and he looks like him.

You can't say that about Hulme, you only complain about Roth's height. That's the only flaw, you can't say that about Hulme though can you?

[Spidey-Bat]

But Roth is better suited for the role, acting wise, mainstream wise, and he looks like him.

You can't say that about Hulme, you only complain about Roth's height. That's the only flaw, you can't say that about Hulme though can you?

Roth isn't better suited. He is a good actor and fairly known. But you can't say he looks like Joker. The only man who EVER looked like Joker died in 1943. And that is because Joker's look was based off him.

You can say Hulme is a good actor. He is only known as of now as the guy in the Matrix sequels.

Hulme is only an inch taller than Bale. No big difference. and Roth is significantly shorter than Bale. But height makes no difference.

You're just angry I called you an idiot. I may not be right, but you're behavoir isn't proving me wrong.

[The Undertaker]

After just seeing 'The Jacket', not considering Adrien Brody would be a sin. The man is the Joker.

We are kindred spirits my friend, I would love to see them give him the role.
Because honestly, I know whomever they choose, I'll probably be a little sad when the Joker talks and its not Mark Hamill's Joker. And also, I really think he could pull it off. But that's me.

[darknight7]

Realistic Joker designs for sequal.

"Messy hair... he needs the messy hair!"

- manson eyes... PURPLE eyes would be cool (contacts)
- high vamp collar
- BIG but not fake smile...

THE JOKER RULES!

hes my all time favourite villain:)

--dk7

[TheDarkKnight]

I'd like to see a more realistic looking Joker, wearing a dark, dark purple suit and have very dark hair with with a green tint to it. His skin should be naturally pale as a ghost, no white make up. Diabolical looking smile (of course), and his character shouldn't be much different from the Joker we've come to know and love. Nothing "cartoonish" though, no bright colors on him. I'm getting the impression that the new Batman flicks will have a very realistic feel to it.

[I AM THE NIGHT]

Benecio Del Toro for the joker. look at him in the sin city trailer and you'll see what I mean

[TheDarkKnight]

Benecio Del Toro for the joker. look at him in the sin city trailer and you'll see what I mean

That's a fantastic choice actually. Del Toro has that look to him, and the way he looks in Sin City is perfect. He'd have to really stretch though to nail the Joker's character. But he's a great actor.

How about...no! Think McFly think!

[CConn]

How about...no! Think McFly think!I hope Glover's participation in Back to the Future isn't the only reason you don't like him for the Joker. :o

[General_Grievous]

Well, a lot of people want Lachey Hulme, so...

and VERY cool avatar CCon.

[Cobblepot]

Crispin could have been, but he's a bit old for the part.

[General_Grievous]

I agree what withthe fact that we are dealing with the early stages of Batmans crusade

[P. Cushing]

Willem Dafoe.

[The Techno Bat]

Crispin Glover

[Obsidian]

Don't laugh at me, this is just a suggestion:

Michael Keaton

Yeah, I know he played Batman previously, but he's damn good at playing psychotic characters. Just watch "Desperate Measures". It will never happen I know because this franchise will distance itself away from the previous films. It's just a suggestion.

[Lazlo Panaflex]

Tony Robbins, he has the perfect teeth!

Now that is an interesting switch...

[Mike_D]

Crispin Glover...DAMMIT!

Hes not too old...does the joker really have to be in his 20s?!?!

-Mike

[P. Cushing]

Hugo Weaving

[Detective Flass]

He originally audiciened for The Joker in 89' and Tim Burton had him as one of his favs before Jack Nicholson.

No thank you.

[Detective Flass]

No thank you.

Your welcome.

[General_Grievous]

Willem Dafoe would be too obvious, what with him appearing in Spider-Man. Uneducated folks would say "Why is Green Goblin in Batman?!"

[Captain_Obvious]

if only Dafoe was casted in '89 :(

[The Techno Bat]

I have heard and read alot about how some people think that Crispin Glover might be too old to play the part of The Joker, well he is only 41 years old. But if that is a determining factor then Hugo Weaving (45) is out. And so is Willem Dafoe (50)

I think age should have nothing to do with it. I like Crispin Glover as The Joker, and not liking him just because he was in Back to the Future is not really fair, he was great in the Charlie Angels movies, and was really creepy in Willard.

[General_Grievous]

I think that a young Dafoe would have been a very good choice, but alas, it can not be.

Were we watching the same movies??

Del Toro DAmnit!!!!

[Mike_D]

Del Toro, Shmel Doro!

CRISPIN GLOVER!

...dammit...

[P. Cushing]

Dafoe please.

[I AM THE NIGHT]

Dafoe please.
Ha! understatement is fun! I could live with Dafoe he's a realy good actor, but the whole green goblin thing is weird because that's pretty much all he was in that movie, the Joker on a glider

[General_Grievous]

I agree, plus he would perhaps be too old for the setting that Batman Begins is in, the early career of Batman, so the Joker should not be 50.

[The Techno Bat]

I agree you can't really go with that old of an actor, Dafoe being almost 50 and he has done Spiderman, so I would say he is out, although he does have that great evil smile.

Now I am one for Crispin Glover and it seems alot of people or a few have mentioned that because he has done Back to the Future playing George McFly that he shouldn't really be up for the part. That is a silly reason, because in the same breath alot of people are like it has to be Lachy Hulme, but it can be said that he played in that steve irwin movie The Crocodile Hunter

(excuse me for a second)

*walks around the corner out of sight and...*
BWAAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA
*comes back into view*

So I really don't think what roles actors have taken on in life should prevent them from doing other roles, unless of course they can't act, for example Angelina Jolie cannot act and would make a horrible catwoman, but that is for a different thread.
All I am saying is lets throw together a list of great actors that are in there late 20's to early 40's and really think out of all of them who would make the ultimate Joker.

So again I am for Crispin Glover

[I AM THE NIGHT]

In defence of Defoe, Nickelson was kinda old when he played the j-man to a batman just starting out but with a little experience(as the new joker will be to bale) so I say age is of very little importance compared to acting abilty( of which Glover has none).

that said, DEL TORO DAMNIT!!

[The Techno Bat]

so I say age is of very little importance compared to acting abilty( of which Glover has none).

I don't know I think Glover can act he has been doing it since the early 80's. He has done tv show's like:

The Facts of Life, Hillstreet Blues, Happy Days, and Family Ties

And has done such movies as:

Friday the 13th Part 4, Twister, Dead Man (w/Johnny Depp great movie), Back to the Future, Nurse Betty, Willard, Charlies Angels, etc...

So to say he can't act when he has been doing it for about 20 years isn't really that fair to say.

Here is another cool picture from Charlies Angels of Crispin Glover:

[General_Grievous]

Yeah, but I want to see a young, spritely Joker, in his prime, not some ageing, miserly gangster type, brooding in the background.

The new films need to set a new standard and be total opposites of anything gone before.

[Attikus]

If anyone was born to play the Joker, it has to be Adrian Brody. He needs to bulk up a bit, so he can be a physical challenge to Bale but otherwise, he has the acting ability and the face. This guy can challenge Bale's acting chops, as well. Glover is a loose cannon. I don't trust him and he's very one note. Adrian Brody is the way to go.
