I thought Nolan wasn't going to have Jack Napier aka The Joker in this one.

 

[Mister J]

IMDb's info can be (and usually is) highly fallible, especially concerning pre-production. That doesn't mean anything. It won't be Jack Napier.

 

[StorminNorman]

Jack Napier isnt even the Jokers origin name

 

[IamtheBatman]

Jack Napier isnt even the Jokers origin name

Your Damn straight on that!

 

[I Am The Knight]

OK, IMDB=HACKS!

 

[ReptileOrion]

You can never trust IMDb.

Jack Napier isnt even the Jokers origin name

I always thought the Joker's real name was Chip Whitley.

 

[Matis17]

Trusting IMDB to provide factual information is like trusting Wikipedia to provide factual information.

 

[The Kid]

Yes, please keep the Jack Napier name. Come on it's a little tribute to Alan, and it's a cool name.

 

[XCharlieX]

His real name is Laughy McJokerstein

 

[Katsuro]

Yes, please keep the Jack Napier name. Come on it's a little tribute to Alan, and it's a cool name.

I dont hate the name itself, just that so many people seem to think it's canon and that they always use it. If TDK doesn't use the name, perhaps some people will realize that it's not the comic characters name.

 

[The Fallen]

Don't name The Joker please, thank you. I could live with a first name like Jack or Joe or something though...

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

IMDB.com.

That's all I've got to say.

 

[CConn]

Don't name The Joker please, thank you. I could live with a first name like Jack or Joe or something though...

What's the difference between knowing just the Joker's first name and knowing his whole name?

 

[E-Mack]

The....last name.






If we had to have a name, then yeah I say leave it on a first name basis. Sure it's still an identity, but say it was Jack, I mean...there's a million Jacks out there. It sorta still keeps the whole "who is he" mystery type thing.

 

[Edd Extraordinaire]

The Joker's real name is Lawrence Evergreen....or is it?

 

[The Fallen]

The....last name.

Exactly. I'd rather no name at all, but since we are likly to get an origin of sorts, I'm sure someone will call him something. Or we way just get "Hey you!"

IMDB is about as trustworthy as Wikipedia. Thank You Steven Colbert. Thank You.

 

[boywonder13]

He wont even have a name....the Joker is going to be unsptathetic...

 

[Lando81]

Yeah probably. I hope they do show an Origin of some kind.

 

[boywonder13]

I tink they will, he just wont have a name...

 

[mawo32]

Best desicion of my life switching from IMDB forums to Superhero Hype forums. However, Wikipedia does give a lot of trust worthy info on many topics just not on all. IMDB is just a bunch of crap.

 

[mawo32]

On the topic of the name, I'm sure they will give a first and last just to develop the character a bit more.

 

[Two-Face]

No Jack Napier name DAMMIT!

 

[Triligors]

Yeah, I'm betting there will be a name. Because, wouldn't Batman look up the Joker's "history"? The only way to do that would be via a name, not an alias. So, in all likelihood there will be a name. What name? Don't know, only think that there will be one.
