The Dark Knight How about some...

[FaT_tONle]

comedy... ya I might get flamed for this... but I really hope this movie isn't just all seriousness with the downfall of Dent and a serial killer Joker... no I ain't talking about Dumb and DUmber comedy... but Begins had a lot of areas for improvement in this department (take the Lucious Fox scenes... the cops baffled by the Tumbler... entertaining scenes so good they make you laugh)... I am hoping Ledger gives an excellent all around preformance where he can be a crazy son of a *****... but funny at times... I mean he is the JOKER for pete's sake... I know this killed the prevoius batman's but it wasn't done the right way... there isn't a whole lot of potential... but there is some no?

The Joker should not be laugh-at-loud funny, he should be disturbingly, dark-humor, funny. If you have ever read Arkham Asylum - that IMO is the perfect Joker.

I mean I don't want the animated Hamill voice over Joker... but he was a great character... sure Joker has to be more brutal... I just hope they throw in some good jokes here and there for Ledger.

 

[Maxwell Smart]

Anyone who thinks The Joker cannot be sick and funny at the same time, have you read The Killing Joke?

 

[StorminNorman]

There was never an instance where I laughed-out-loud during the Killing Joke.

I did. More than once, actually.

 

[Stringer]

I thought Begins had the ideal amount of funny moments.

 

[BatScot]

There was never an instance where I laughed-out-loud during the Killing Joke.

Odd... considering that both Batman and the Joker themselves laugh-out-loud in TKJ, but I digress...

comedy... ya I might get flamed for this...

Very well...

 

[I Am The Knight]

Sure, toned down. But no stupid one liners like ''Nice Coat.''

 

[El Payaso]

As long as it's not Goyer's one-liners, I'm all for some comedy amongst the darkness.

 

[7Hells]

Bah, I liked "Nice Coat"
If thats the peak of Nolans Cheese (which I dont think a comic adaptation can do without) then Im all for it.

 

[The Fallen]

Nice coat was cool. It's like a little in-joke whenever I see my mate I say "Nice Coat" in that Bale voice. Ahh fun times.

 

[El Payaso]

Sadly, it was not Goyer's peak.

 

[7Hells]

What would you consider his cheese peak?

"there is nothing to fear but fear itself"
oh my god. when Scarecrow said that then got blasted in the face by Holmes... i just shook my head.


and i think sick and funny is where it's at. he's obviously always portrayed as a smart man with what he considers a silly wit. but to everyone else, anyone who can laugh at murder is just downright insane. i think that both can be adapted into the movie and it not seem hoakey. hopefully.

That quote fit his character so I dont consider it cheesey. If Dawes had turned to the little boy and said it then it would have been cheesy.

 

[Octoberist]

how was that cheesey? That 'fear' line doesn't count. I did, however, shook my awesome head at Gordon's cliche "I've gotta get one of those".

 

[7Hells]

I did too, but then i realized i'd say exactly the same thing lol

 

[fabman]

NO, I didn't... Nice line (Gordon's).

i don't know. i just felt like it was so elementary for someone who is supposed to be so highly educated and mad. i was just hoping for something a little more profound right before he get's taken out by the damsel.
