Best crime boss of Gotham? why?

Rupert Thorne, because he's not dead (Grissom) or in a state of perpetual fear and psychologically broken (Falcone).

CFE

 

I agree.

 

Bane.

Why?

He broke the bat and made all the other crime bosses his *****es.

 

Grissom, because he was portrayed by the human personification of badass that was Jack Palance.

 

Not in the Batman movies. He was Poison Ivy's ******ed servant in the movies.

 

Honestly none of them were anything to speak home about in the movies. The closest would be Carl Grissam because he was played by Jack Palance. The character just served his purpose in the first 20 minutes and left(or died, if you will). Tom Wilkinson was decent as Falcone but his level of power seemed anything but intimidating. Rachel says in the movie that Falcone has half the city bought and paid for, but all I saw was a broken down Gotham, all on it's own, and a Mob boss that falsely thought he ran it.

 

When they do The Sullivan Irish Mob I'll vote for Mickey. But until then Alberto Falcone was the best in terms of acting and storyline. Another victory for Batman Begins to be honest. I just didn't know that Wilkinson could play a Mafioso so well, it was a big surprise.

 

I loved the gangsters in Batman'89, but they only had a very small part in the film as a whole. The mob bosses seriously looked and felt like they stepped straight out of an old gangster noir film complete with pinstripe suits and fedoras.





The thing I liked most about B'89, if above all else, was how it blended the the 30/40s style with the then current style, the 80s, but the latter now makes film feel half dated. Though I will definitely say, if it were all 80s style and didn't contain the 30/40s then the entire movie would probably be outdated.

 

Grissom. he was a theif, and a terrorist, but on the other hand he had a tremendous singing voice.

 

And was played by Jack motherf**king Palance.

Gotta give it to Grissom. Would give it to Wilconson as Falcone if Falcone was written like he was in the comics and not a stereotypical mafioso.

 

Alberto was nowhere to be found in "Begins"

Oh I see...you meant Carmine Falcone.

CFE

 

That's very true.

I liked Falcone. But, I enjoyed Grissom alot more in his short screen time. Palance is just a class act.

 

I always thought Rupert Thorn was [email protected]$$ in TAS...

 

Falcone WAS a stereotypical mafioso in the comics.

 

Okay, point taken, but I thought he was a better character when he had his family around him.

 

Falcone was a more incognito boss in his way of being around, thus being interesting. But Grissom was just badass, you can feel his prestance and authority.

 

Jack Palance was the mob boss R.I.P. nuff said.
