I LOVE Frank Miller's take on Joker. I find him so fascinating and so eerie. I know Ledger used Moore's Killing Joke as inspiration, but I would argue his Joker was more like Frank Miller's.


The way it's portrayed in the animated movie is so horrifying.
 
i just wish he would have said "see you in hell......BRUCE"

Joker should know Batman's identity before he dies imo.
 
Yeah that's how i feel too. Getting David Bowie would be amazing.

and the BTAS Joker is great, but yeah i agree. too safe for the movies. Something more monstrous and scary like Morrison's and Miller's Jokers from ASHOSE and TDKR is the way to go imo
Ledger was more or less like Joker from ASHOSE. He was monstrous and disturbing, in his own way.

This Joker should be refined as in the sense he's calmly eating dinner in a fancy restaurant, surrounded by dead bodies at their tables, with smiles on their faces!
That scene with Jack (B89) talking to Rotelli's charred corpse as if it was talking back was sick.
Before straightening his tie and laughing like a looney.
 
He was my choice for Lex but Michael C. Hall would knock the Joker role out of the park too. Honestly just throw him into to any Batman villain and he'd kill it.
 
Speaking of Matt Smith, I remember him awhile back saying one of his biggest dream projects was to be in a Batman movie.
 
I'd like to see an actor who is around Ben's age.

My personal pics.

Sharlto Copley, Sam Rockwell or Ben Mendelsohn.

Same. I don't want the Joker to be a full-grown man while Bruce is crawling around in diapers.

As for who I would pick? Give Affleck a character actor to play off of:

Look-wise, he is a perfect mix of Sean Penn and Adrian Brody. It's uncanny.

Talent-wise, he's a celebrated character actor, and Academy-Award-nominated. The man is a chameleon. He could take this character any number of directions and still land on something memorable. And you'd better believe you wouldn't recognize him.

He's older than Affleck, but not by so much that the two characters couldn't have a credible long-term relationship and history.

He brings the looks and the pedigree. In my opinion, it's a perfect match post-Ledger.

John Hawkes is a great idea

I still think Joker should be in this movie
 


Smith has the look, but could he do the menace ?

I think Michael Sheen would be a strong candidate, Cumberbatch too (but I think his voice is a little too deep for the Joker).

It's a hard role to cast. Here's one people haven't mentioned, but I think is worth a look, the craziest man in Hollywood......Nick Cage !
