The Joker Thread - Part 1

[AndyTrevino]

Dafoe is probably way too old by this point for what they'd want, especially opposite Pattinson.

And why would they really want to use de-aging technology when they could easily just cast someone younger?

I forgot to bring that up. If they decide to make an adaptation of the Arkham games for whatever reason, he should at least be in the top 5 options for Joker.

Because nobody would be as good a choice.

Looks like a mix of Jeremiah's fedora look and the Babadook. I could see this working for a couple scenes

Willem Dafoe would make a great Joker, but it's not like he's the only person who could do it.

DaFoe would say yes. It just clashes with the Court of Owls. But maybe they can still make it work. This is how I’d do it.

The man who has lived his whole life for a Batman type to play with in the Gotham sandbox. Joker doesn’t know who or what that would look like, but all he knows is: it hasn’t happened and probably never will. Gotham City isn’t fun for Joker anymore. He’s in his 60’s, catatonic maybe?

Until one day HE appears out of the shadows in the silhouette of something he never expected but always needed. Joker awakens from his mighty slumber when he hears and sees Batman on the television, confirmed to be real not a superstition (after the Riddler murders + takedown of the Court of Owls). Here we go BAYBAY!

Ok, you're all like "omg Joaquin can't be Joker, his Joker will be so old!" and then someone is like "Willem Dafoe is actually too old" and y'all like ok, but here is how that would work

That's just if you're taking the movie at face value completely. I'd be fine with either of them in the role, but the general audience is gonna be all confused seeing Joaquin playing a different Joker and come up with a bunch of cheesy fan theories. Willem Dafoe just seems a bit too obvious, even if he would kill it.

Because Joaquin would be playing a 75-80 year old Joker. DaFoe doesn’t have that Todd Phillips movie baggage + he’s in his 60’s. So he can either act his age or a bit younger if the makeup takes away some of those wrinkles. Sounds simpler to cast DaFoe for this new version (if they want Joker old or they’re simply desperate for Willem). Rather than shoehorn Phoenix which will confuse a lot of people. Too many questions from all sides.

Have y’all seen THIS?



Totally nuts. I can’t imagine a better Joker.

I'm not saying he's the only person who could do it. But I am saying he is the best.

I think that if they decided to put prosthetics on Bill Hader's face then we might be able to get something relatively close to Graham Nolan's Joker:

This picture of him in particular seems very Joker-ish to me with the hair, suit, and flair in general. He's even sporting a bolo tie!

I've wanted him in a comic book movie for a long time now

One of these days a comic book movie will land DiCaprio and I'm so curious what it'll be. I bet they offer him ****ing everything.

Why do people constantly reference the Babadook for a nightmarish Joker? I guess you thought that was creepy? I didn’t think it was. The concept is, but the look was cheesy.

I seriously need this Joker to have Joker Venom. Can you imagine how horrifyingly twisted his victims would look? Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind Joker slicing people from ear to ear like Black Dahlia, but having people to laugh to death is still one of his best kill methods.

The face has potential for a really creepy Joker. Pale face, freaky eyes, super huge grin.

The Hemlock is already kind of a real-life equivalent so there could theoretically be precedent for Joker venom in that universe when they bring him in.
