The Dark Knight The Man Who Laughs: The Joker Thread 2.0

[I Am The Knight]

I tried to order the figure from Play.com but it's only available in the UK in their shop.

Then go there. I know I am

 

[The Caped Knight]

And yet he's tugging on that string so playfully and humming along.

I thought that was brilliant

Yeah, with all his little mannerisms and weird noises I could really believe that The Joker was a clown rather than a guy with a white face who kills people. In fact, I'm of the persuasion that he was a clown of sorts before he got the scars.
Ledger was just so clownish, especially the little "ra-tum-ta-tum-ta-tum" noise he makes while lifting up Dent's hospital bed. The whole world is his circus and he is the grinning, crazy ringmaster.
God, I wouldn't want to be "cheered up" by that guy.

 

[deathfromabove]

even dyed hair and applied lipstick have been shown in various depictions before

^^^was a response to this.

and again, what is your point? if you were just making an observation than cool but if you have a point you are trying to make, i am missin' it.

(shrugs)

Er...it was just an observation, nothing deep or profound I was trying to share, lol.

God that freaks me out so much. A charismatic murder at that.

Yeah, I bet clowns around the world hate Heath's performance because now because of him everybody is a little bit more scared of themt:.

 

[Spider-Bat]

I've seen TDK five times now and still I don't see Ledger, just The Joker. He is so good in the movie.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

^agreed. if i didnt know ledger was in it and the joker was uncredited i dont think in a million years i would think "hey thats heath ledger!!"

Or attracted to them.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

[The Joker]

The Ace of Knaves....nice name change. Much better

 

[Ace of Knaves]

[titan101]

[Ace of Knaves]

PM hunter rider.

 

[TheBatman072]

Every time I would show a picture of Joker or one of the Joker heavy trailers so someone who didn't follow the movie as much or at all, I'd always get a "Who's the guy playing the Joker?"

I'd say, "Heath Ledger."

And I'd get a "HOLY ****! REALLY? Wow."

 

[Ace of Knaves]

^ haha word. well anywayz im off to smoke a bean and watch the greatest movie ever again!!! hooohahahahahaheheehahahaha

 

[The Caped Knight]

I'm curious fellow batfans

Which of the 4 Actors that has portrayed The Clown Prince Of Crime (either Live Action or in Animation) has had The Best maniacal laughter of THE JOKER of all time ?

A. Cesar Romero in the 1960s Batman television series

B. Jack Nicholson in the 1989 film Batman

C. Mark Hamill in the 1990s Batman: The Animated Series

D. Heath Ledger in the 2008 film The Dark Knight


For me As Much I loved Ledger outstanding award wining performance in TDK. Hamill wins this one easily his laughter as Mr. J in the BTAS will always be Legendary. No one will ever top him .

 

[Ace of Knaves]

yea i love TAS joker, the laugh is spot on. but heaths still my favourite, i've always wanted to see a "street" joker.

 

[The Joker]

Hamill has the best laugh, but Heath portrayed the character the best overall, IMO.

I love all four of them because they each represent the Joker from different eras in the comics. None of them are a wrong interpretation of the character.

YEA EXACTLY. they are all different portrayals, everyone can have a favourite portrayal but to be honest i'm sick of people saying "so n so is best" or "na his joker was crap". they are all accurate depictions of him, just from different times.

 

[Oriin]

So, I've been thinking about this, in TDK do they hint that the Joker's name is Melvin White?

 

[Hello Beautiful]

Could someone post some good links to Hamill examples please? I have not seen much of TAS.
