Yea clip #12 was nice with Joker driving and giggling to himself.

"His Joker WAS dark, sick, twisted, anarchic, and every other adjective used to describe Heaths Joker so far"

But IMHO he wasnt threatening or dangerous which is crucial for the character to work.

Scarecrow was more menacing than Jacks Joker. Jack looked good in the part but little else. I put most of the blame for this on Burton who I think is WAY overrated as a director.

This isnt a bandwagon statement, Ive been saying this since 1989,and here for years(Ive been here much longer than 05 as my profile says. I had a previous handle).

I was never happy with Burtons films(3&4 dont exist in my mind)

And I still can't believe that, out of nowhere, once again Jack Nicholson is brought up.

They both played the character, comparisons are bound to pop up, even if their interpretations of the character are very different. I fail to see what's difficult to understand about this.

It's crazy that no one ever says how Heath trounces Mark Hamill.

Perhaps that says something about Hamill's performance, then? Or it could just be that some people like the comparisons to be strictly between live action actors, although I personally don't see anything wrong with throwing Hamill into the mix.

They stupidest thing about all of this is that no one here has seen the movie, and yet Heath is already the second coming.

Not the entire movie, but we've seen enough footage by now to gauge what kind of performance he's going to give, and we know enough about the plot to know how his Joker behaves. And this isn't even going into Heath getting unanimous praise from the movie reviewers.

Jack Nicholson's Joker is so incredibly paramount to the success and revitalization of this character that it's sickening when people bash it over a personal dislike for the man.

Adam West's Batman was also paramount to the success and revitalization of the character, but that doesn't change the fact that many batfans loathe that interpretation of the character. And just because people dislike Jack's take on the Joker doesn't mean that they dislike the man himself. People are free to dislike Nicholson's Joker just as much as you're free to lavish praise upon him. Personally, I've seen Jack give numerous performances that I thought were better than his Joker performance by leaps and bounds.

That is pure stupidity. And for the record, I've been on these boards for a while, and not once, ONCE, have I seen anyone say "Jack Nicholson can't be topped".

Then you must not have been present when Heath was announced to play the Joker. Those comments were flying at that time, as I recall.

Any sensible person hopes for the better every time they're presented with a new experience. His Joker WAS dark, sick, twisted, anarchic, and every other adjective used to describe Heaths Joker so far. It's just that Heath might have done it better. Sorry for the rant but this ****'s going way too far. The bashing of Jack Nicholsons Joker proves just how spoiled batman fans are. Jesus Christ for the sake of myself and others, can the dickriding be held off until AFTER the release of the movie.

And I haven't seen the kind of blind bashing of Jack's Joker (i.e. 'Jack's Joker is fat! Hur hur hur!') to warrant the kind of backlash of a post you're giving here. There was a little bit of playful jabbing at Jack's imagined jealousy of this take, followed by a few brief bits of legitimate criticism. And as I've pointed out, people are just as free to dislike his take as you are to like it, so there's no need to get your knickers in a bunch.

so wait, are you saying that after watching the clip where he threatens to "cut you up into little pieces" he isn't threatening enough? trust me where i live ive seen some nasty stuff, but if some geezer with a cut smile and make up on threatened to cut me i'd crap meself! and the bit where hes driving he just dont care, hes so blase it does make him threatening IMO

No.

The part in quotations was said by someone about Jack's Joker, and conan commented on that.

Wtf? They didn't section out your stuff for me to respond piece by piece. Anyway.

It's unbelievable that, after the amount of arguments elsewhere, He still pops up in a completely (sorta) different circumstance. And I gaurantee if you comb the latter couple pages, you'll see far more than "playful jabbing".
Your right about Adam West's Batman. But Jacks Joker is far more important when we talk about reestablishing the dark aspects of the character. I mean people are acting like he was Cesar Romero. He fried a mob boss alive in front of other mob bosses, shot a guy while doing a waltz, tried to poison an entire blocks worth of people, poisoned people through skin care products, and so on and so forth. He went places the comics had barely gotten to. Thats what gets to me the most I think. I agree Jack has had better performances, but that doesn't have to mean that his Joker wasn't great. But again, I hope Heath delivers the Lecter like performance everyone is hyping him to be, and ****s on all things of comic movie past. I just think it's pathetic when people (not you) bash the past movies and actors to make the new stuff look better (which has been going on since Heath was cast as well). To say those Burton films and especially those performances were mediocre is some bs.

 

[Nightmare]

Just accidently saw the clip on youtube where batman fires off those things into that room and they are waiting for him then he flies down there and beats the crap outta all of them. Nice.

 

[I7eIVIoNBoY]

anyone else not like the fight scene, it looks a little rehearsed to me, people were falling down before getting punched and how hard is it really to shoot someone

 

[kyuubijavi1]

Some one should make Gif's especially of Bat's kicking some ass in clip 6 i think
also Joker pointing his gun at the guy and pulling his knife out would be great ones as well

 

[SonikDeath]

I thought the fight scene was great, i can finally see batman hitting someone, instead of a black caped blur hitting a white blur in a blue shirt.

 

[SonikDeath]

All of the clips are really amazing and make me even more hyped up for the film itself. But my favorite has to be with Batman is chasing The Joker. Joker's reactions to the situation is very Joker-like, chilling, amusing, and just downright scary. He's just getting a kick out of the whole situation.

"Oh, you want to play?!" Man, I'd be scared sitting next to anyone who wants to get a kick out of playing chicken.

Yeah in the clip you can see some guy sitting next to the Joker, poor guy is probably too scared to say anything. t:

 

[samsnee]

I agree. A couple of the guys in that fight scene definitely started falling down before they were hit. He definitely doesn't move as fast as I thought he would.

 

[Jesster32388]

I loved all the clips but do agree that the fight scene looked "eh". Hopefully other fight scenes won't look as awkward

 

[batmaluco]

At least now we can see the fights...

I loved all the clips.

 

[Schlosser85]

The story seems to revolve more around him than it does Batman.

Actually from all we've heard, including from Nolan himself on numerous occasions, and from a number of the reviews we've had so far, The Joker may be the main selling point, but if the story revolves around anyone other than Batman it's Harvey Dent.

 

[D4rkShaDoWz]

Joker - awesome in the new clips!

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

At least now we can see the fights...

I loved all the clips.

I like the fight scene to a point, I did think it was a little too scripted and a little slow too.

 

[SheldonLevene]

I like the fight scene to a point, I did think it was a little too scripted and a little slow too.

I just realized with all the new **** being released I have done nothing but look and go OHHHHHH and AHHHH and not post on anything. Lol. I love the direction of the fight scenes. And all the clips to be honest. My favorite is probably know your limits. Such great dialouge throughout it seems. On a side note. Sports Center at 11et had nothing but TDK tv spots and several full length trailers at the breaks. No other ads at all it was awesome.

 

[Bond]

I like the fight scene to a point, I did think it was a little too scripted and a little slow too.

Agreed, hopefully WB pulled the video because it was unfinished.

 

[Gotham22]

Only 10 clips on youtube. the last two, 11 and 12 arent there.

 

[james283126]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mga-pkdC-4Y clips 1-12

 

[tromadz]

Agreed, hopefully WB pulled the video because it was unfinished.

I love it. People bash BB fight scenes cuz the editing was too fast. This time it's too slow and scripted. Awesome.

Wow.

 

[Crook]

It is possible to miss the mark by hitting opposite ends of the stick....

 

[aturner]

Whatever way the fight scenes are cut people will still complain. I liked the idea of BB approach to the fights, but would've preferred a slightly more wider angle on the scenes most of the time. Still, it doesn't affect my enjoyment of them.

TDK seems to have changed that, and considering we haven't seen too much in the way of fighting I'll wait until I've seen the film before making up my mind. Still, it looks spot on to me and yes it looks a little more scripted, but in the real Batverse you could chalk that up to Batman now being more experienced and confident in fights, therefore anticipating moves and making it look "easier".

Either way, with everything else going on in TDK I don't think I'll be spending too much time analysing the lengths of cuts to the nearest .000178 second.
