The Dark Knight Well....this is intresting? (Joker news)

Batman: The Musical. heh.

I thought of writing a Superman musical once. And then I found out there already was one.

Why would anyone want to write a musical period?

And of all things a superhero one?

 

[Ronny Shade]

Because its hilarious.

Honestly, though, I can't see The Guard ever making a Batman musical. He takes it way to seriously.

But perhaps The Guard takes musicals seriously, too. I mean, he's The Guard. He wouldn't do anything he didn't take seriously. The word "serious" was invented to describe him. Oh, I know the word is considerably older than he is, but it was invented because they knew, "One day, he shall come, and he shall be called the Guard, and he shall be Serious."

What few people realize is that because he is "The Guard" he was often associated, in those early days, with dogs. Hence "Sirius."

 

[Ronny Shade]

LOL!

my point was, however, that a "serious" Batman musical is going to fall on its face.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

**** would be on some Phantom of the Opera vibe

 

[Knightsaber Priss]

when and where has anyone said that the joker will not be the main villian? small and mysterious...yes, but not small as in cameo. think bigger than the scarcrow role.

Well,do you like the term supporting villain then? I think the main villain will be Harvey Dent/Two Face.

Two-Face will not be in until the 3rd film. Harvey Dent as D.A. will be in the 2nd movie. And they have said that Joker is having a small role. In the 3rd movie it is said that he will have a bigger role and be the one to cause Two-Face's creation.

Just not Jude Law please....!!!

 

[The-Night]

Yea with the three mentioned in the latest news Hugo Weaving definetly should/would be the best Joker candidate.

isn't The Joker suppose to be the same age as Batman? Just wondering, cuase I read somewhere that he would be around the same age as Batman!

 

[trustyside-kick]

Just not Jude Law please....!!!

Ya...also you do not want somewhat of a pretty boy playing Joker.

isn't The Joker suppose to be the same age as Batman? Just wondering, cuase I read somewhere that he would be around the same age as Batman!

What does the age have to do with it? Cause I said Hugo Weaving? he looks a good age to me even if he should be similar age to Batman.

 

[The-Night]

I'm just asking a simple question Shirley Temple, calm down!

Calm down? I did not get mad or anything to clue that lol.

 

[The-Night]

Calm down? I did not get mad or anything to clue that lol.

So is he older or around the same age in the comics?

 

[trustyside-kick]

I do not recall them really saying. But I am guessing possibly slightly older? I do not think that should matter. Like I said out of the 3 mentioned now Weaving should get the role.

IDK call me crazy, but I really belive that Weaving and Law are just pawns and I've said it before thier names being in contention is just to keep people talking about it. I mean Law is just a plain DUMB idea . Weaving certainly has some jokerish looks to him, but I belive the only reason he is on the list is becuase he has a good realtinship with WB. I just feel that weaving is too old and even if people say he is not known, he is. Agent smith..........you kidding me?

So I am guessing you are rooting for Hulme then.

 

[The-Night]

Hulme or Bettany!
I sure as hell hope he's even still in the race!

 

[StorminNorman]

Mel Kiper for the Joker DAMMIT!

or Pete Carrol

 

[trustyside-kick]

Hulme or Bettany!
I sure as hell hope he's even still in the race!

The starter of this thread said Bettany is no longer being mentioned.

 

[The-Night]

oh I'm aware that Bettany is "supposly" out, but that is why I belive Hulme will get the rle. His only real threat is out!

 

[Ronny Shade]

Everybody's pretty much ageless in the comics. Think about it. How old is Batman?

Anybody?

30?

In that case how old was he when Bob Kane created him? -80?

 

[StorminNorman]

Now that I look at Hulme and Mel Kiper Jr's picture - I think Lachy Hulme should play Mel Kiper Jr in some movie.

Ya. The only characters you notice get older are Dick Grayson and Tim Drake. :P

 

[bdsproductions]

It's from a long time ago, when "Carvers" used to roam the forums. Someone suggested that The Joker be a kind of drag queen, with make-up and wigs and such.

I ****ing hated those times.

yeah,they all went over to IMDB,we call them trolls the worst of which name is Brownish33 and let me tell you they are PURE EVIL.

oh and on topic,Joker should be mysterious,have about half a hour give or take of screen time.not be overly theatrical (i.e. no lame looking purple suit which is,like spandex,great drawing,ugly on film).origns hints given,xplained in film 3

 

[bdsproductions]

A few scenes I can imagine The Joker being involved in:

A few very small teaser scenes where you don't see his face.

Ringing up Harvey Dent on a radio phone in show and telling him how he is going to destroy Gotham.

Some sort of robbery or murder to introduce the character. The one I like the most involves Black Mask and Bruce Wayne in a bank.

Gassing Maroni's bouncers and questioning him at gunpoint (TLH). Maybe even using Maroni for some henchmen for one of his schemes.

Then the big face off between Bats and Joker. Possibly in the theatre that Bruce's parents got shot outside of.

Then one final scene of him starting to go completly insane in Arkham, awaiting trial.
.....................................................................................................
I think that could all be fitted into 30 mins of the film and still have enough of Joker for everyone to be happy about.

He has to be slightly mysterious. The guy can't just walk the street looking like he does in broad daylight. Even B89 used facepaint. The one scene where Joker wasn't using facepaint during the day had mime's with clownfaces.

NO DESTROY THE CITY PLOTS DAMNIT!.

EVERY MOVIE HAS ONE THIS MOVIE HAS TO BE MORE SUBTLE!.
