The Dark Knight Who else thinks Hank Azaria would have made a good Joker?

[CyrusGrissom]

When there were talks of a Batman Begins sequel with Joker, i always pictured Azaria playing the role of the Joker but let's see if Ledger will convince us even though Azaria was my ideal choice for the role.

Be better off more as The Creeper. Although, he wouldn't be a bad choice for The Riddler either. Not my pick for The Riddler, but like I said not a bad choice.

Who?

manip please

 

[Lex Luthor]

I agree that he would likely make a better Riddler than Joker.

 

[C.R.E.]

I never thought of Azaria for the joker. He seems like he would be good but I dont think people would take him seriously as the joker, so he would be a better fit for the riddler.

 

[jsf]

i think hugo weaving or crispen glover might have been good for the role... but i got a feeling that heath will pull it off alot better than anyone would have thought

 

[C.R.E.]

agreed. Ledger will be awesome

Remains to be seen really.

He says he'll portray Joker like "a shark" and Malcolm McDowell's character from "A Clockwork Orange" but if that is the case than Joker is going to be a blood-crazed predator, a murderous psychopath.

We'll see if he really is that, or is just a funny killer clown.

That is what they are going for from my understanding, because that is how the original character was intrended to be, an absolute psychopath who gets pleasure from killing people. I think it will be a great take on the character. Plus they don't want him to be like Jack Nicholson's joker because it wouldn't be anywhere near as good, so they want him to be a different joker.

SORRY, COMPUTER TROUBLES, I DIDN'T MEAN TO POST THIS TWICE.

azaria might be good, but being a huge "simpsons" fan, i won't be able to see him as the joker rather than moe or chief quimby in makeup.

I totally agree. His voice would remind everyone of the simpsons and I don't think thats a good thing

Dan Castellanta is Mayor Quimby. Hank Azaria is Moe, Apu, Duffman, Professor Frink, and Chief Wiggum.

^ Meant that to frodawgg

 

[d. martin]

Personally speaking, I thought Crispin Glover would have been the ultimate choice for the Joker.

yeah i meant wiggum; i have no frickin idea why i put chief quimby. i'm such an idiot.

 

[JamesBond007]

I think I would have gone for Crispin Glover or Hugo Weaving myself

 

[d. martin]

IMO, Joker should be really creepy. He should disturb you, and I think that's what Nolan is going for. I couldn't imagine HW disturbing me and I've seen him in drag

 

[DangerousInc.]

Oh god no as Joker or Riddler.

 

[Invisiboy]

manip please

Wish granted.

I think this is what Nolan is going for with Heath.


^That's just for people who don't know what he actually sounds like.

This is not to say I don't think Heath will do a good job. This is just to say that if heath hadn't been cast as the Joker, Hank would be a good alternative.

he sounds nothing like those characters in real life.

 

[Killing Joke926]

Sorry guys, besides Ledger Christopher Eccleston was the Joker.t:

 

[iron_spartan]

I think would make a better Riddler. He just won't cut it as the Joker.

 

[ultimatebadass]

hank looks maybe like a good harvey dent (i said maybe) but eckhart's got that now.

 

[BingoJesus]

Can't really see Azaria as anyone in Nolans Batman universe.

Would definitely like to see what Crispin Glover could've done as the Joker, but am swinging more towards him as The Riddler.
