The Joker Thread - Part 1

[Eddie Dean]

What would you feel about, in the words of Buffalo Bill, The Joker being "a great big fat person". Not Jack Nicholson gone to seed fat, but a big, imposing guy, really leaning in the John Wayne Gacey thing. Someone like Glenn Fleshler or John Carroll Lynch.

I don’t like the idea of Joker looking like Batman in size. Which is why I don’t like the idea of Adam Driver.

I REALLY hate this idea. Skinny Joker is much more effective

Driver doesn't seem bulky to me. He's just skinny and tall but he's not heavyset.

 

[shauner111]

Driver is a wide dude. He’s not skinny.

 

[AndyTrevino]

Driver is a wide dude. He’s not skinny.

His shoulders are super broad, but his physique is pretty skinny. He's not like, muscular or anything.

 

[AndyTrevino]

The slicked-back hair would look so good on Caleb and Gyllenhaal.

Three of those guys (the same guy most likely) aren't even fat, just averagely-built.

They're also obviously human. I like Joker to have a ghoulish nature about him, and the skinniness compliments that really well.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Brian Dennehy is the kinda fat I'm talking about. Sturdy, big.

 

[AndyTrevino]

I just don't care for chubby Joker very much at all.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Not chubby, big.

 

[AndyTrevino]

I really don't care for big Joker either. It adds some intimidation factor I guess, but it reduces the creepiness.

 

[hellblazer103]

Not chubby, big.

You basically want Sweet Tooth. Not Joker lol

I love Sweet Tooth too tbf and I can see where you're coming from with Gacy and all but

 

[Eddie Dean]

who the f is sweet tooth

 

[AndyTrevino]

who the f is sweet tooth

He's from an early 2000s video game series I think

EDIT: Yeah, "Twisted Metal".

 

[flickchick85]

He was an ice cream truck.

 

[AndyTrevino]

This could fit pretty well IMHO, maybe with different-colored pants and a rose instead of a handkerchief:

I don't want anyone who can be described as big, sturdy, chubby, pudgy, or husky. Nothing like that ever.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I’d love to see a little Lon Chaney bald with red mohawk look. Make a him look a bit Travis Bickle, haha.

 

[shauner111]

Only Nicholson can get away with being pudgy.

Only Nicholson can get away with being pudgy.

People are extremely forgiving to Nicholson It what it is.

I specifically said not the Nicholson kind of fat, but I guess some people don't like to read!
