The Dark Knight I'm worried the villains are going to steal the show again

[Naite22]

^ That I couldn't say anything about as I never read the comics, but I'll believe that... But come on, there's no doubt that Heath Ledger's Joker will be THE bomb in the new movie!

 

[PaulGilbert]

Much rather see more on Batman/Bruce Wayne

 

[jeff vader]

looks like you're th n00b jimmy
everyone knows the joker's real name is bumblebutt fishtybums

Spoiler

2 kudos to first person to get that reference

I'm more than surden that Bruce Wayne/Batman WILL have the most screen-time in this film, and the story will of course be centered around him (as it should be!)... What I ment is, I think the Joker will steal the show in every scene he's in, that's all... Heath's performance is gonna be talked about A LOT, I'm sure of that!... and that would only be great! Wouldn't want him to suck now do we?

I too thought Keaton was the best Batman (after Bale, whom I personally think is lightyears better), yet still the Joker was all people were talking about... It's not gonna be any different with the new movie. All have been introduced to Bale as Batman now, and we know he rocks!... Heath as the Joker will be a new edition and he'll be shocking for most, in the way he'll play this psycho. He WILL be what every one is gonna talk about, it's almost for surden.

Agreed. And the person who started that thread should be worried because He is indeed going to steal the show.
Like someone said it's the nature of the beast. But at the same time, it won't take anything away from Batman/Bruce, because they complete each other, just like the white clown and the red clown at the circus, one is always flashier but can't really exist without the other.

And His name is not Jack.

This isn't Joker Begins.

No, it's The Dark Joker.

Sorry, for the 3 posts in a row but it's pretty slow today. Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone !

t: and there are your kudost:

use them wisely

Huh?? Isn't the Jokers real name Jack Napier???

 

[The Joker]

Huh?? Isn't the Jokers real name Jack Napier???

Not definitively, no. It's only one of his possible origins in the comic books.

 

[lixdexia]

Huh?? Isn't the Jokers real name Jack Napier???

only in the movie, TAS, and select comics, no one is absolutely sure of his real name

 

[Naite22]

^ cool!... that means Nolan has free hands to be creative without stepping on anyones toes... doesn't it?

 

[lixdexia]

yes, yes it does

 

[The Joker]

Well, apart from the applying make up thing. Joker is perma white. That's a staple of the character in ANY origin.

i don't think it was in thrill killer. also, theres already a thread for that argument, lets not start it here too

It was.

Who's arguing? Just addressing what Naite said about the origin.

no one brought up anything about permawhite...

This movie could be about Batman solving crimes about who killed who, and going after Maroni, without any super-villains at all, and I'd still go see it. I'll admit, I have been focusing more on Joker than anything else with this movie, but I highly doubt that Bat's and Bruce are playing second act to villains. Like said before - Nolan and Co. know who's the heart of the Batman universe.

 

[The Joker]

Permawhite is part of the origin. It's the only thing that's concrete in his origin. The name and his background are the variances.

Capeesh?

Gazoontite!

Well DC may have changed their minds. They gave creative control to Nolan. And he has made a new choice. There is always change. If a comic book artist 20 years ago would of made him not permawhite there would be no discussion right now.

But always the new freaks out the fans that are afraid of change.

To me no matter what *and I love the Joker my fav villian* Nolan seems to have it under control, and I like change, as long as he is still a challanging villian that causes mayhem thats all that matters.

If this would of been on a comic book there would of been contreversy at first as there always is. And as time went on people would love it for what it is. But when a movie is made people think they can attack it more.

But remember DC gave them the rights to do this, and apparenlty approve of what Nolan does. So I say lets sit back and wait and see, but it looks like Nolan has the Joker perfectlky portrayed for his universe.

And I for one love it.

Wasn't Joker a woman in Thrillkiller?
