Seems like there’s a heated Joker debate going on in this post. Well, to put some fuel on the fire MTV had a sit down chat with former Joker, Jack Nicholson:
MTV: What do you think of another actor, Heath Ledger, playing the Joker in next summer’s “The Dark Knight”?
Nicholson: Let me be the way I’m not in interviews. I’m furious. I’m furious. [He laughs.] They never asked me about a sequel with the Joker. I know how to do that! Nobody ever asked me.
MTV: It was never brought up?
Nicholson: No. It’s like, in any area, you can’t believe the reasons things do or don’t happen. Not asking me how to do the sequel is that kind of thing. Maybe it’s not a mistake. Maybe it was the right thing, but to be candid, I’m furious.
MTV: I’m surprised to hear you sounding competitive about a role like that.
Nicholson: Well, the Joker comes from my childhood. That’s how I got involved with it in the first place. It’s a part I always thought I should play.

Sounds like The Dark Knight is again taking a more realistic, sinister view on the Batman series, making it more like the comic. I think that Jack needs to realise that the real Joker is a psychopath, who randomly kills for his own pleasure, and not the murderous, laughing clown that he played. If Heath Ledger plays the Joker as scarily as I have heard, I can’t wait to see the movie!
Too bad it was a role that Heath Ledger was always meant to play! HaHAHAhaHAHaHAhahaHAhAHAHAHaHAHAhaHAHaHAhahaHAhAHAHA
Jack Nicholson kicked Heath Ledger’s ass as the Joker. Anybody that doesn’t feel the same should have a gun with a bang flag shot through their skull.
HaHAHAHAHAHAHA HEEEEEEEEEEeeeee
Jack was the best.
