I beleive this will be the most realistic potrayal of the Joker and it will effect how the Joker is perceived. This character is about to be re-invented!

what do you think they're gonna accomplish with he joker in the film that hasn't been accomplished, if not surpassed, in the comics?

ya i don't know what way they can improve the character he basically does everything you could do now, unless you stray from character

You know....that movie was ALMOST completely erased from my memory. Thanks.

Sad too, so much potential sqaundered by his own creator. Poor Todd you got the cartoon right but ruined the live action. He didnt even have his cape goin 99 percent of the time.

Prolly nothing, but showing people something in live action is like rebirthing it even if it is spot on faithful. I remember the first time I saw spidey it was like seeing it for the first time even though i has seen it a million. Same goes with seeing Christian all dressed up and kicking ass. It just has a profound effect on yah.

I think to the comic book fans, he won't seem too different but when it comes to the casual/movie fans of he joker, he's going to seem very dark and disturbing. To them, The Joker will be more of a real, sadistic killer as opposed to a colourful character with an evil plot.

Most realistic?

How would this affect how Joker is perceived in the comics?

If the character's about to be re-invented and this is a totally new persona, then why did they go to other comics such as TJK and Batman #1 for inspiration? Why did Chris Nolan say TDK Joker will be very similar to Joker in Batman #1?

And what are you basing all of this off of? A few pictures and reports?

 

[Keyser Soze]

but the point is what you said Socko looks do infact matter

The ironic thing is, that you posted a picture of Clown, who looked just like he did in the comics....and still sucked.

I think he means how the Joker is perceived in general, mainstream. For most people the Joker = Jack Nicholson and that's it.

Frankly from we've seen so far I really hope Ledgers Joker can replace Jack in the public imagination. I know both portrayals will have their own merits and everything, however ultimately I think Nolan & Ledger are on their way to a more faithful, deeper and scarier character. This is good. Whether he'll be as entertaining as Jack, we'll see.

Ah, I see. I could definitely see that happening as well.

Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker will just that, another portrayal of him.

Just like Jack's version was as well as Ceaser Romero's.

in some people's mind Jack's will always be the version they like becasue for a whole generation Jack's what Batman fans for that time was hoping for after having ONLY Romero's version!

The only difference I see is Jack Nicholson is a Bigger name as an actor than Heath.

 

[dark joker]

In my opinion Heath's Joker will be every joker characteristic rolled into one package. He will havea darker way of doing things. I don't know if heath's preformance will roll over into the comics.

 

[Yurka]

Where did the Joker sightings thread go?

ya.. I kinda liked him but I didn't I think his jokes were funny but overall thats all it had going for it.

Yeah, by the time Nicholson portrayed The Joker for Tim Burton's Batman 1989 flick, he was already an actor that was seen as something of an acting force of nature by both the movie going public, as well as executives within the Hollywood studios. And rightfully so. When Batman 1989 made it's debut back in June of 1989, I believe Jack succeeded in lending himself to that younger generation at the time that may, or may not have seen many of his previous films, and gained a entirely different audience than what he had previously enjoyed up until that time. And that was the whole Generation Y/MTV crowd. Personally, I became a big Jack Nicholson fan following my first viewing of Burton's Batman and his awesome, and very memorable portrayal of The Joker way back when. And havent looked back since. With Ledger, I believe he definately has the potential to bring in a peformance that will not only dazzle audiences, but also convey a much more darker and sinister side of The Joker that will be much more akin to that of how that character was presented in The Killing Joke and what not. Which very possibly may shock some people who are only familiar with Jack's version, and semi-familiar with Romero's. Now will Ledger's take be just as memorable in the general publics mind?

That remains to be seen.
