The Joker Thread - Part 1

[AndyTrevino]

Art, if it's any consolation to you, I think all manips are dumb.

Bro they're just trying to help us with our ideas

In my defense it's not exactly easy to detect sarcasm over the intranet

 

[Captain Tired]

It is, when there are emojis present.

But anyways, no worries.

Lucas Hedges for Joker? Just a suggestion. Trying to think of new names. Has been on a roll lately. Good actor. Not exactly the face you’d want to throw makeup over and call it a day (more of a face you’d want to mutate with prosthetic). It’s the type of choice that feels very...Matt Reeves. Not unlike Caleb or MacKay.

It figures that a couple pages ago, someone suggested Shia LaBeouf, and now someone suggests the guy who played LaBeouf while LaBeouf played LaBeouf's dad in a movie about LaBeouf's life

Hedges looks too boyish IMO.

 

[Boom]

I do not hate this.

I'm not a huge fan of that fancast, but he did mention using prosthetics for him since you can't just slap makeup on his face and call it a day

 

[AndyTrevino]

My ideal "mainstream" Joker voice would be a combination of Heath Ledger, Mark Hamill, and John DiMaggio. Maaaybe a little bit of Michael Emerson in there as well

 

[Captain Tired]

I'm not sure exactly what that means, but the last few times I read a comic involving the Joker, I heard it in Phoenix's voice.

I know he’s suggested for every role already, but what about Dan Stevens?

He has a pretty devilish look that fits the role, but....eh, I dunno. I think he might be a bit too charming

I definitely like this suggestion. He's got a ton of range and can definitely bring that signature chaotic zaniness that we see with the Joker, while keeping an air of menace about him.

Yup, agreed with all of this! Mentioned him a few pages back. I really do think the guy can play so many different roles - he'd be awesome as part of a Court of Owls story too. But I absolutely love him for Joker.

*shows Schlosser a before and after pic of Colin Farrell + the Penguin* you musn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger darling.

Dan Stevens is more Two-Face to me. But I’m done with the blonde hair for Harvey.

 

[hellblazer103]

Bowie vibes

Spoiler

With all due respect... Nah, Dan Stevens is absolutely Joker material.

I've been eyeing Kyle Chandler for that one lately

 

[shauner111]

Even after watching those clips (I’ve already seen The Guest) I don’t see him as the Joker.

Kyle Chandler is too old for Harvey. For my tastes anyway. He was on my little shortlist for Gordon a couple years ago.

Sweet fancy Moses...

Hey, I’m just giving the people what they asked for

 

[Deck Rickard]

I’ll do some more tomorrow!

"I'm going to kill everyone in this room."

Hell yeah. Love this idea.

My thoughts exactly. I could totally see him as a more Frank Miller-esque Joker.
