The Dark Knight Caine: "Heath frightened the life out of me"

[TheLongestDay]

thanks! to be honest-they both scare the crap outta me lol (and i have that figure too)

 

[CrashNburn]

the news on Heath coming from Caine has to mean alot. sounds great to me!

 

[Samurai Pasta]

I hope that Heath does a great job and passes Jack.

Nevah!










Just kidding. I hope he does too.

 

[Argyle of Sock]

All signs are pointing that way!

Keep your (digi) fingers crossed...

 

[StorminNorman]

Michael Caine is being far too generous.

We all know he could take Heath Ledger in any costume.

I can't wait for Heath Ledger to rape our brains in their anuses.

Jack's joker was BS, he was more comical then crazy... Heaths already blown him outta the water IMO.

What he said.

What he said is BS. Jack's Joker had no problem in killing hundred of people in no nice ways. That's beyond comical - which btw Joker is supposed to be.

joker is supposed to be absolutely nuts, and comical to himself. Jack Nicholson, tho acted well, was a crappy Joker. in the movie, it was more of him being funny, than, ANYTHING. wathcing Batman, he does try killing a tone of people in his 'balloon parade', but thats not the focus by any means of that part of the movie. the focus is him being goofy, the batwing, and a ridiculous, stupid 4 ft long gun he shoots the batwing down with.... comon.

Heath IS Joker. Nicholson was a JOKE.

Nicholson was that.

It had a good amount of cruelty and killing enjoyment.

wathcing Batman, he does try killing a tone of people in his 'balloon parade', but thats not the focus by any means of that part of the movie. the focus is him being goofy, the batwing, and a ridiculous,

That's a bare statement. The focus on Joker killing is Joker killing. But of course that would destroy your point so you make it seem like there's campiness and goofiness about killing hundreds of people.

stupid 4 ft long gun he shoots the batwing down with.... comon.

Yeah Joker using dangerous weapons that look like what a clown would use. How out of character.

Heath IS Joker.

I'd discuss this but you see, neither you or I have seen the movie. Because it's not done yet.

Bare statement again.

Nicholson was a JOKE.

And then a killer. Which is the perfect mix for the Joker.

damn u really broke down my post lol... its all opinionated man...i think Nicholsons joker was fun, yes, but i think it was a stupid portrayal. i just simply didnt like how he was.

however u made great points arguing mine..but like i said, all opinionated....i just think, so far, heaths joker is what i wanted to see with the original Batman...

Nicholson is a fantastic actor, and coulda done much better IMO.

This is a much better post.

Nicholson was fun, but his character didn't really interest me.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Heath IS Joker.

Yep! I know it to. And do you know how?!?! It's cuz I saw some picz and heard his voice in a 10 second teasa!!!!!!!1!1

I almost have no doubts about how good Ledger will be. We'll have a more sinister and serious Joker. But if you were doing a summer blockbuster in the 80's you couldn't have a infinitely cruel and creepy guy in clown make-up like we can have it today.

Being that the scenario, Nicholson's Joker went far beyond the safe limits by having him charring a dude and then having a talk with the corpse between other not-too-for-kids scenes. Thanks to moves like that, audiences are now more tolerant to this kind of visions.

 

[Reek]

mr socko, i normally love reading your post...but Heath is going to be a much better joker then we've seen. and yes thats based off of pics, teaser, and word of mouth from actors whose 'words' should be recognized. so if hes the best we will see....whos to say Heath ISNT Joker.

maybe it has more to do with makeup and effects....i agree somewhat to what your saying....maybe if Jacks performance would be 'in the now' withbetter effects and makeup....eh i dont even know if im making sense anymore lol.t:

That is by far my faveourite scene in Batman 89

Oh, my... people involved in the making of this film are praising it, as are the people who will receive percentages of its gross? That is so amazing!
