The Joker Thread - Part 1

From start to finish. He was fine to even great in some parts. He was never bad. But his work outside of that has been largely boring. He's easily one of my least favorite parts of westworld right now too.



Oh... even less likely lol.
I feel like BB is maybe the only thing he's been in so far that really brings out his chops
 
I'm honestly surprised no one's made a mock-up of George Mackay as Joker yet. I feel like we're the only ones who've prominently brought it up. I mean, if I had Photoshop I'd try it. Maybe next week after I'm done with what I have left of my finals. I miss my friends, and this second semester was far more enjoyable than the first before quarantine. Rant semi-over.
 
I honestly think George Mackay could pull off an effeminate Joker.
 
A couple of sites have said that WB is eyeing Aaron Paul to play a version of Batman in a Joker sequel. Now, I'm not saying no to this, but this is just a fake rumor, right?
Sound like fake news to me. That would be a big mistake for WB to make a sequel to The Joker instead of focusing this Batman, rebooting/fixing Superman and getting their **** together. Plus that would confused people, there are still a lot of folks that still think this Batman is in that Joker universe. Heck there are still a lot of people who still thinks this is a young Ben's Batman. Idk I have faith in WB/DC because of The Batman & their future movies they have planned.:brucebat::supes::kyle::hq::ww::aqu:
 
It would be interesting If Batman and Joker's relationship had romantic undertones albeit twisted
The downside to that is all the idiotic fan art that shows up on everyone's Tumblr and Pinterest feed.
 
What do you mean by "effeminate"?
Like eyeliner and women's lipstick, flamboyant yet dainty mannerisms. Basically a Dark Knight Returns-esque Joker visually. Maybe with green fingernails as a nod to that Grant Morrison Arkham Asylum comic?
 
Along with the idiotic people claiming that Jokers been "Ruined"
If I'm being honest, I feel like those complaints when coming from cringey fan art are at least 70% validated. I mean, let's be honest here; that stuff isn't great. The only thing that might be worse is all those stupid motivational quotes people still seem to be posting for some reason
 
I'm kinda doubting we'll see something like Clayface or Manbat in this universe
If you're starting off your universe saying "these characters won't work here," burn it to the ground and start again

Get me a primarily comedic actor. We’ve done drama guys a bunch. You get someone the audience knows will make them laugh and then also flip it around and be terrifying and you’ve got a winner on your hands.

If there weren’t a huge age difference with Pattinson, I’d say NPH honestly...
 
bill Irwin might have been interesting when he was younger.

Bill Hader as Joker...I can actually see that or even Neil Patrick Harris especially if you go the comedic route
 
Does Joker actually need to be funny though, ik it sounds ridiculous but the whole thing is what he does is only funny to him because he's a maniac

It’s not that he needs to be funny it’s that a comedic actor is going to bring a whole different energy to it than what we’ve gotten so far.
 
In 2020, that might not play well.
I mean, they don't have to push that aspect 100%. Maybe just the lipstick in that regard then? Plus, your response makes me wonder if I'm getting "effeminate" confused with "flamboyant".

And yes, I know, Leto bad and all that, but people didn't really seem to take issue with the Suicide Squad Joker's film makeup, and he looked very feminine to me at least for what it's worth
