[…] one of them advanced screenings that don’t show previews). So that was yesterday. Today, we have new pics of Heath Ledger as The Joker, courtesy of The Dark Knight’s Unofficial Movie Blog. It’s probably important to point […]
So far I’m just not feeling it. In these pics he looks not unlike Brandon Lee in The Crow– The half assed, akwardly acted-but ok, i guess-film version of j. o’barrs insane, dark, brutal revenge story. ANYWAY, i might ad in the close up it looks like theres a faint “clown nose” painted on him. however, with out a performace or a clear view it’s impossible to form a final opinion really. i’m sure when official pics are released i’ll feel differently. but these pics don’t impress. i was a big fan of ‘Begins’ –it’s Batman done right!
Losers. Either watch the new movie or don’t. Stop bitching about every little thing.
Signed Heath Ledger.
Tyson, don’t preach to me and try to convince me that Jack’s Joker was like the comic’s Joker, because it’s not. You’re probably reading the comics they decided to “change” the joker in the coincide with the film back in the day, but for the majority of Batman’s history, the Joker has been a young, completely different character. Batman Begins, and the sequel, are an updated version of the franchise, which is why the Batmobile, the suit, the mansion, everything is different… so why is it so hard for you to accept an updated Joker?
Well that was close-minded. Great spoiler, I cannot wait to see this. But so far I hadnt heard of said truck, only the old half painted purple klunker. News to me! On another note, jackass below, If you’ve actually read the comics you’re blabbing your pre-pubescent mouth about, then you would know that though Jack Nicholson did A convincing joker, he was by no stretch of the imagination THE Joker.Go read A Death in the Family, Hush, Arkham Asylum, Or the best Joker TPB I’ve read, The Killing Joke, When You’ve read some actual joker stories and not just watched “The Batman” on WB Saturday Mornings, and clean up your god-awful grammar and silly internet lingo, we’ll talk
jack was a good joker true, but he was also jack before he was joker. it should be the other way around. his look(being a fat shit) didn’t really do alot for me, as did the spray painted green hair. it really wouldnt have been too hard for them to use real dye, considering he got the most money out of the movie.
I was actually on the same set a couple days ago in Chicago… didn’t see too much except for a camera dolly attached to the back of a truck. Prior to that late night shoot, though, I was on the set design / prop location and saw gotham city police cars, swat vans (founded in 1820), and other cars rigged with explosives. In addition, the Joker’s truck was there marked “Laughter is the Best Medicine.”
I can’t wait for this film.
THIS IS CRAP. Nolan is screwing up big time. Bats versus a *&^#-ed up Crow. This ‘realism’ crap is being pushed a tad too far with the series, I mean, c’mon, its still a comic, even if someone filmed Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns. The Gothic is what makes Batman different and cool. In jettisoning that Chris Nolan, admittedly a rescuer — after Joel ‘Calamity’ Schumacher — has lost the comics’ true soul. Suxxxxx!!
This is for Tyson: Jack was NOT the Joker. He was a silly cartoon of the Joker. If you had, in fact, read a comic book, namely Frank Miller’s “Year One” on which these movies are mostly based, the Joker was a homicial maniac. He did nothing but brutally kill people. Jack’s Joker was more about punchlines and purple suits. And who are you to insult people because of their feelings about the movie? If someone likes this new Joker, than so be it. People have the right to their own opinions. Nolan’s vision of Batman is, by far, the best vision captured on film. Burton had a good vision of Gotham and Keaton was a good Batman, down to earth, funny at times, but also brooding. But Nolan’s vision is more realistic, taking Batman out of the comic books and placing him in the real world. Keaton could never act as though he was a child of murdered parents with a vendetta against the crime of Gotham, something Bale has captured beautifully. Leave people alone, Tyson. Just because you happen to love Jack Nicolson’s Joker, that doesn’t mean that everyone else has to. You are right, there is a rogue’s gallery of villains, but the Joker is iconic. And if you’re going to put a new spin on Batman, as Nolan is trying to do, then you have to put a new spin on his nemesis. If you’re going to show the ultimate good, you have to show the ultimate evil. The Joker as the next villain is only fitting.
I hear you, m’man. I think expectations for the Joker run high all around, which is why my itch has yet to be scratched by a paunchy, weezing Heartburn/Prizzi’s Honor-era Nicholson in a Tex Avery City Wolf Zoot Suit phoning it in (collect) from the moon or an old fart who wouldn’t even shave his goddamned mustache for a paycheck.
And yep, out of context the outfit looks like something one of the less financially solvent Goth kids would have thrown together for Senior Spirit Week ’94, but as the only dude to have ever cranked out a decent Batman movie*, I’m giving Nolan (and Ledger) benefit of the doubt.
*I am including Tim Burton’s ’89 masterpiece “Robert Wuhl: The Motion Picture” in that statement.
[…] Unofficial Blog for The Dark Knight has posted a couple of set shots that show Heath Ledger in his Joker costume and […]
this is the first pic taken by someone hundreds of feet away from the set — poor lighting, no acting, no voice, he’s wearing running shoes, no treatment. good god, let’s wait until we at least see a trailer or something before we even think about doing comparisons let alone bitch about what nolan’s done.
Holy crap! A truck!
What am I missing here?
[…] web Batman: The Dark Knight-Movie chronicles ha colgado hoy los primeros pics decentes de Heath Ledger como El Joker, y digo decentes porque […]
While Nicholson’s joker matched what he looked like in the comics, in the end he wasn’t playing the joker but rather himself. If you like Nicholon’s joker, good for you, but when you start critizing just because of a grainy image, that it just arrogance. With this new joker, I think the look matches the tone of the movie but my final opinion will based on how well heath does in the role.
He looks like michael myers with green hair thats all i have to say
It’s called “Freedom of Speech”, moron. Look it up on Wikipedia if you don’t know what I’m talking about.
[…] See the article and photographs here: http://batman-dark-knight.moviechronicles.com/2007–07/the-joker-pictured-on-set/#more-39 […]
I agree with those saying that its WAY too early to judge this joker. I’m awaiting the teaser trailer that should be out with the simpsons movie to see if we really see the joker in action. Until then, stop thinking so hard over poor quality photographs.
Tyson, with all due respect, I think it’s you who need to pick up a Batman comic to see what the Joker’s really like.
Nicholson’s Joker had little to do with its origin material. Sure, he delivered a wacky, entertaing performance, but that’s it. The Joker isn’t a fat, middleaged mob enforcer with a permanent, false smile. He’s actually about the same age as Batman, with a skinny build.
As for Ledger as the Joker. I admit I have my doubts. But Nolan nailed it the first time and I trust he’ll do it even better this time.
I personally would have picked someone like Adrian Brody for the role, but we’ll see. Can’t wait for the first trailer.
ok tyson, jack was a good joker but, he wasn’t the best based on comics, the joker was a maniac, yeah jack did ok, and im a huge jack fan, but as far as lunacy goes there could have been a lot better acting invovled and im sorry to say that heath will do a good job so don’t bash the people who are into this movie b/c clearly they know the comics better than you
Looking at Ledger’s Joker “make up” in those pics, it looks to me like he’s wearing a mask. His make up seems to be applied more neatly which indicates to me that this is Ledger before the accident that disfigures the guy and turns him into the fully psychotic Joker. Apparently the Joker in full on form will have a rotting flesh slash smile from cheek to cheek, as seen in the infamous publicity pic at ibelieveinharveytoo.com
Have patience folks, I think Ledger is going to be an absolutely fantastic Joker and will take the character in a new direction from Romero’s and Nicholson’s camp, zaney incarnations.
Nolan and Ledger are going right back to the original comic book’s such as “The Killing Joke” where the Joker is petty crook turned completely sadistic and pyschotic.
I just got a look at the leaked teaser trailer, and I have to say I cannot wait till summer 2008. This Batman vs The Joker film is going to be fantastic.
I think most of the fans reading this page could agree with 3 major points.
1. Jack Nicholson’s Joker was a great character. Enjoyable to watch on screen, and was a good fit for that film.
2. There is no relationship between Nicholson’s Joker and Ledger’s Joker. Its a separate characterization entirely. The way Renior paints a boat differs very much from how Van Gogh would paint a boat. Both artists’ renditions are masterful works of art, and in no way intended to reference each other–merely the boat.
3. Chris Nolan has successfully proven to have a very complex, and invested vision of The Batman’s story. Why don’t we let him tell the story the way he chooses to tell it? If any readers or posters of this message board have made a full-length multi-million-dollar Batman film of their own, they should certainly be the first to knit-pick down to the finest detail what another critically acclaimed director is doing with the franchise.
this is a new spin on the batman series chris nolan is doing what joel shumacher fucked up at so quit bitchin about the joker and thank him for revamping the character. jus think what the joker wouldve looked like if he was in those movies…he’d probably would have nipples on his costume too
you people make me sick. jack was the best joker ever in batman history. leager played a fagget in broke back mountain. what makes him think he could play the joker anyways. the joker was and still is the greatest villian in any comic, movie, series, ect. i am not saying the is going to suck or anything but william devoe in my opinion would have been the best choice for the joker. he looks like joker even without the makeup.
Okay people, here’s the skinny on it all. First things first, Chris Nolan has made a truly INCREDIBLE! version of Batman, I think most would agree. At no point in my life was I more pumped to see a film than Batman Begins and what was even more unbelievable was that it lived up to my expectations and beyond. However nobody should EVER, EVER, EVER compare Burton’s version of Batman to Nolan’s. While Nolan’s version is more to my taste, Burton truely did, in my opinion mind you, an equally good but vastly different film. To sit and debate the two versions is like comparing lemons to limes, who gives a rat’s ass!! For those of you bitching about the new Joker, good grief! give Nolan a chance! Taking a franchise that was basically destroyed by Schumaker(who himself as actually admitted to dropping the ball with Batman) and turning it into the one of best super-hero movies ever is no easy task in a sea of crappy films that flood theaters today. On the flipside of this debate if anyone ever actually sits and watches the special edition versions of Burton’s Batman, there is bonus material of Bob Kane on the set of the ’89 Batman film (for those of you who are completely retarded Kane is the creator who birthed Batman from his imagination)regeg
Kane never once sat on Burton’s set and griped about how it sucked, or how Burton was totally screwing up his vision. So if the man who frigg’n CREATED Batman was pleased with what he saw, then you bastards should be too. To bash an artist’s version or rendition of something is as shallow as it gets. Admire both films for what they are, cinematic masterpieces!
Why do people insist on reviewing a movie before actually watching it? Please stop saying “this movie sucks”. Please stop saying “This movie looks crappy”. Please stop saying anything at all until you have seen the movie and actually have a credible opinion. No one has seen this movie yet. Its not finished, edited, or even out in theaters yet! Perhaps you do not agree with the way they choose to portray certain characters. Maybe they are changing too much for you. You are entitled to those opinions. But, to say a movie is bad or will be bad before its release, is completely ignorant.
The most interesting aspect of all these posts is the fact that no matter how much people insist they hate the movie already, they will still be right there in line on opening day. Come back and post about how much you hate the movie or characters after you have seen it. Then you will have something to say that actually sounds intelligent or credible.
As for me, I am anxious to see this movie. The first installment (Batman Begins) left me wanting to see more. Did it relate to and mimic the original series, comic, cartoon, or whatever? Well, I am sure there are people way better qualified than me who can answer that. But I do know that I truly enjoyed the movie. Will I like this second installment? I have no idea. I will have to wait and reserve judgment until I actually watch it.
One last note… What happened to the English language or proper writing skills? Do they still teach writing and grammar in school? Some of you really need to learn how to spell and use a period or comma. Sad.
Well, have to say, many people are very ignorant. Clearly SOME people don’t know what the Joker is really like. Jack Nicholson’s joker — a joker ofcourse, but not THE joker from the comics. Wayy to happy-go-lucky. The Real joker is a dark character, and I am very excited to see Heath
I can’t wait for this movie because it’s Way more realistic and believeable, unlike those old WB fuckin’ jokes of Batman movies. I had to admit the first one was alright, but once I experienced Nolan’s movies…Batman movie.…I fell in love 
cesar romero is rolling over in his grave.
To Tyson,
Clearly you are a blogger straight from IMDB. Jack’s Joker blew ass. I am a fan of old Nicholson, but not as The Joker. Now you want me to pick up a comic for reference. All right I’ll do that. Oh Wait! Here in the comic it shows that The Joker doesn’t have a permanent smile. Also in the comic, The Joker has to atleast be 6′+. Not Nicholson’s staggering 5’9. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not by any means pulling for old Brokeback Ledger, but he’ll pull it off with something a little more fresh and sinister. They’ve adapted this Joker based more solely on personality. Check Nolan’s interviews if you don’t believe me. Oh and one more thing, why would you post something if you didn’t care what anyone else had to say regarding????? Are you the type that likes to hear himself speak?
Personally I was never a fan of Jack Nicholson’s Joker(Too fat, too silly, too Jack, not scary at all)
To be honest I can’t stand the sight of any of the earlier Batman films. I could never get in to the Burton films. and we won’t even talk about Joel “Bat-nipples” Schumacher. I’m just gonna assume we are all in some level of agreement with those atrocities
Anyway.
I’m pretty jazzed to see what a talented actor like Heath can do with the role.
Might suck, might be the best Joker I’ve ever laid eyes on.
We’ll all just have to wait and see.
Now if only they can just stop giving Batman guns…
I agree I loved the Burtons Batman film’s as much as I did Batman begins and i think both micheal keaton and christian bale both played a wonderful batman. I thought jack nicholson played a wonderful homicidal maniac joker. while i dont like the idea of heath ledger playing the joker. i like everyone else was hoping at the end that was going to be the joker card when he flipped it over. so dont ask for what you dont want. and from what christopher nolan did with the first film i think this one will be great too.
and if jack nicholson joker wasn’t the joker from the comics he gased gotham city. throwing a pen in someones throat. destroying peoples faces.
Tyson, you dont know shit when it comes to jokers, i do admit jack was a good joker but wat not evil enough. He was more funny then a serious killer. He was a good joker for the 80s but this is a new era we need to see the joker for who he really is. An evil son of a bitch who doesnt care about anything or anyone but himself. This is suppose to be the joker that is evil enough to kill robin with a crobar, but i guess you knew that right. This will be the best joker ever. you will see.
well i loved jacks joker except for the whole prince songs but still a great movie his voice yea its good the laugh prefect so far the close up of him with rachel dawes has let me down im not saying hes going to suck as the joker but the close up looks like shit some spots arent even painted on heath but i have a feeling it could be a hoax and that anthony michael hall is going to be the joker cuz no one knows his part and has said that hes going to be in most of the movie unless hes a bodyguard of the joker which then would make sense but and would explain y some of the pics look like shit
Tyson,
I understand your angst. Jack was awesome, on the other hand Nolan gave us all a lot of hope after the Batman and Robin debauchle.
Terry,
And Wolverine is supposed to be 5′ 4″ compared to Jackman’s 6′ 2″. What’s your point?
Jack read his lines and killed quite a bit therefore was still a homicidal maniac. Batman is a daunting 6’4″ while Bale is definitley not. Alfred has a mustache… etc etc etc etc (and Superman isn’t supposed to be a 140 lb girl) but these are the movies and Jack was the best likeness of a comic version Batman villain(with the exception of the Scarecrow, they couldn’t have made him more comic). Joker is a patholgical killer who is older than Batman in all of the comics(young? WTF?), he is a homicidal yes, but one who is quick with the bad punch lines so Jack did fine(and he wasn’t fat yet).
I figure Nolan has a plan and its a good one although I have a feeling we are going to get the same kind of, “Behind the scenes villain” with Dent as we did with Rhas in the first film. Either way, I hope this rocks(and not in a Broke Back kind of way) and if not I hope O’Barr sues.
T Dizzle,
Batman was 6’2, Case and Point being I was remarking upon his comparison to the comics (Read Carefully to his statement and you would have NOTICED that). Not trying to start a war for finding the perfect shape and size characters for every single comic movie to date. Fact of the matter is, while yes I am a Burton Batman fan, I do not believe The Joker was by any means played to his more darker side. Yes, I do believe he followed the 50’s and 60’s version while touching up a bit on the new era. But I don’t want a silly ass Joker, Romero done enough of that.
Now aside from my own defense, your argumentation was very correct against that of my own and I see exactly what you are saying. But I am very much entitled to my own opinion and as are you. Good Day.
yo i read the comment under mine and sort of understand his point of view but heres mine.….….….……i think heath is gon play a hot ass joker, dont get me wrong its almost impossible to top jacks joker . jacks joker was toooo much of a jokster its time for a joker that is more dark and evil and justs laughs at the fact of hurting people and causing mayhem jack was just laughing at every thing which was dumb heaths joker i think is gon be dark as hell and crazy in the fact that he just thinks mayhem and hurt is funny, not every damn thing like the original and yeah they are basing this off comics but thats what jacks joker was about the comics so let heath do his thing and change it up alil and get an evil dark mo$%^% fu!@#$
Hmm, I am not a huge fan but I did like Jack’s Joker from the first Keaton film. He was a bit of a nut case with a comic side which. I would rather that Ledgers Joker retained some of the humour over being an out and out killer. I havent read the books or comics so Im not savy on what is and is not true to the creators vison.
I tend to prefer to leave judgement until I see the finished product.
While I found Jack’s Joker entertaining in the short term, I thought he was more Jack Nicholson than he was the Joker. He certainly didn’t look the part. In fact, before seeing the film, I was freaked out by the casting of Keaton in the Batman role and have always thought that Michael Keaton had more of the physicality of the Joker and perhaps would have made a better one than Nicholson.
I do agree that there is a huge rogue’s gallery from which to draw, and since they do seem to be going for a heightened sense of realism I wonder why they don’t go for Batman’s more “realistic” villains such as Penguin (in his more recent mob boss persona)and Dr. Hugo Strange. I also agree that in some sense, there’s a “here we go again” air about this upcoming film, but what the heck, I’m sure it will be provocative, and if they can get Two-Face right this time, then it will be worth it.
Since everyone seems to reference the Batman comics, Which installment will we use? In the Dark knight series,I can’t remember the writer,But I know Todd McFarlene illustrated them. Joe Chill killed Bruce Wayne’s parents, Not The Joker.Anothere notable and yet moot Point,The Batman’s cape was Like 40 feet long. The Point is, its called Artistic licensing.Which Sometimes,sadly,is taken too far.(as Mentioned By T-Dizzle) If you want to talk about ruining a comic book legend, lets talk about the X-men.Bottom Line is, lets wait till the movie comes out and then give our sideline and utterly useless Opinions.
Oh yea I forgot, The Batman carried a .45 semi auto in that series as well. Just Some Fyi. lol
this looks ok sorta but yer right he does sorta look like the CROW huh?? haha i was not sure if casting heath ledger was right…but mabye he will surprise us
Anybody ever think that the final cuts for the joker might be computer animated? And what we’re seeing in pictures like these are just a basic layout for the animation team . But before release they will add to what is already there. Maybe the plain make-up look is just for reference is what im saying.
Begins says it all, everything before that..crap1,crap2,crap3,craaapp4!! Lets not kid ourselves, Burton’s vision and a masterpiece for it’s time bla bla bla. Keaton is a beatlejuice, Jack was way silly and over the top and Princes’ gay music, I never want to see that Joker movie and I quote Joker movie again. I am a huge batman fan and never has a comic book film like Begins pleased the fans, critics, the average movie goers (and me) alike. I wish we could legalize cloning and make duplicates of Christopher Nolan so they could save more f#c*k ups like X-men, Superman and Spiderman(3). That said TDK will undoubtedly be an inspiring and awesome film. I was shocked at Nolan’s choice of Ledger but he knows what he is doing, he scored a 100+% the first time. I believe after this film, Nicholson’s Joker will be forgotten. People will be afraid to pick up a deck of cards, more kids will fear clowns, circus’ will go out of business, you get the point. Christian Bale is Batman’s fan’s dream, although he looks a little thinner in the pic’s which is stresses me, he has to stay buff. Nolan is a master at casting and plotting. So the bottom line is the first Batman movie ever was in 2005.
Quit bitching about how the Joker looks, the image really isn’t in focus, anyway. I actually like the fact, they’re making another Batman movie with Joker. Tim Burton took too many liberties with the original Batman movie. Jack Napier, later the Joker, did not kill Bruce Wayne’s parents; it was actually Joe Chill. Don’t get me wrong, I love the original Batman movie, especially with Jack Nicholson playing the Joker. I would just like to see a better, up to date, truer to the comic book Batman movie, with the Joker. I think this new movie can deliever.

For of all, u gotta give Nolan the credit for taking this franchise series to a whole new level. The way the storyline was portrayed in Batman Begins was quite remarkable meaning that this current series is being evolved into a more logical story (based on the comics). Now as the Joker-mania discussion, yeah Jack Nicholson was a good Joker, but don’t be the one to judge to quickly of Heath Ledger’s version of the Joker. Okay, so he’s not the perfect candidate for the role, but u won’t know that ’till the official trailer and/or the film comes out. Besides they are still working on the make up for the Joker. Speaking of which i have a few pics of the second sequel of BB. Check it out and give your opinion of these scenes.

Tyson doesn’t care about what anyone else has to say after he’s said his piece, so I don’t think anyone should care about what he has to say. Tyson, go swallow a baseball.
Imo, The joker from the first Batman movie was terrible. He was depicted as some “artist” loser, and that makes it unfair to Jack as the actor because it didn’t make him look good for the spot. He’s too manly to aspire to be a psychopathic artist clown, but that whole role is stupid anyway. I’m hoping (and so far it’s looking like) joker will be the psychopath (not artist) clown I’ve always seen him to be. If Heath doesn’t look the part, I’ll be sorely disappointed.
Ok, first off, Jack Nicholson did a very good job in his adaption of the Joker. But even Jacko said that his interpretation of the character was more of Cesar Romero’s Joker from the 60’s TV series. Yes, the TV series was more of a comical Joker, but frankly I love where Chris Nolan is taking Heath Ledger and his character. I hope and I have good reason to believe that this is going to be the Joker characteristics that
a) killed Jason Todd
b) paralyzed Barbara Gordon
c) tried to drive the Commish insane
and d) almost killed Catwoman.
Heath Ledger is going to do an excellent job dispite of what I think of him as a person. And just and FYI for all of you, we are going to see Aaron Eckhart as Two-Face in this movie!!!
It was confirmed yesterday (10/10/07)
The only news I have is that he will be sitting at a bar, flipping the coin, the bartender walks up to him and says
“Dent?, I thought you were dead.”
Then Eckhart replies, “Half”
I cant wait to see it!!
All of you stop knocking Heath! Apparently he’s very gvood as the Joker, and Michael Cain (who plays Alfred) even said that Heath is so terrifying, that he (Michael Cain) forgot his lines when Heath came burstin out of an elevator, acting as the Joker. And who cares if Heath was in Brokeback Mountain, IT WAS A DIFFERENT MOVIE PEOPLE! And he was playing a different character, stop judging people before you get to see their peformances.
Oh by the way, in case no one heas read, Heath actually saved Maggie Gayenhaal (Rachel) from being badly burned when she and him were doin a scene, and a pyrotechnics display behind them fell onto the set, ending sparks towards Maggie setting her skirt alite, Heath then pushed her to the floor and suffocated the flames with his body!
When I think of the Joker he is no doubt a pyscho path, Jack Nickleson only scracth the surface of the character. I hope that this joker delivers something special to this movie. The joker is the ulitmate villian and there is no villian like him. I am a little skecptical of Heath playing this chacter but I can’t say he won’t do a good job until I see for myself. But will he capture this character it remains a mystery. The grim and cold look of the joker is what makes the character. His eyes and and that cold smile defines the joker and his twisted acts. I just hope that this won’t be a flop. To destroy this character would be a demise for Batman because batman and the joker are like brothers, and to destroy the Joker in this film will angry lots of fans and damage the series
Jack Nicholson was undoubtetly a spectacular Joker and no one could ever replace him, but Heath Ledger is also an extremely talented and respected actor; do not doubt him. I am expeting this movie to have its certain dissapointments, and as a lot of people, I expect The Joker to not be one of them. To everyone who is bashing this movie: don’t talk sh*t about it until you have seen GOOD and CLEAR clips of the movie and have something to talk about. And above all, LEARN HOW TO SPELL!
ok guys, jack’s joker was ok but he did not fit the part. (nor did Keaton) the joker is not fat, balding, old, and round. he is the homocidal clown that finds humor in pain and suffering. he is also about the same age as batman. and you should not jugde a movie based on what part one of the actors played in a previece film. especaily when they did a good job in the part and you probably have not seen the movie in question (Brokeback Mountain, by the way a great movie). why are you people judging the Dark Knight before you even see it?
I agree with Balfan: GO HEATH! SHOW THOSE SCEPTICS WHAT YOU’RE MADE OF AND SHUT THEM ALL UP!
[…] 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: […]
I have to say, I’m not a huge fan of summer films, but movies like this are absolutly awesome. And yes, Heath ledger is going to be fantastic as the joker. no, he’s not the obvious choice, but neither was christian bale when it was announced he was going to play batman. The cast is perfect, the script, presumably, is going to be perfect. Jack’s performance in 1989 was over the top, but not in a bad way. Hopefully, heath will bring the whole borderline-psychotic-serial-killer-crazy that the joker has been portrayed as in certain issues of the comic book throughout the years.
oh, and another thing, I am SICK of people making rude comments on Heath’s performance in Brokeback Mountain. The Dark Knight is a different movie altogether and just because he played a gay person doesn’t mean he IS one, and doesn’t mean he’s going to be gay in TDN. How many other actors have played gay characters? TONNES! Heath is just another so just shut up and stop giving him a hard time.
Yeah, back in the late 80s, Jack was a good Joker…Hell, almost a great Joker. But, looking at all his films, he was really The Joker playing Jack Nicholson. A bit better than the old campy Joker, but not the madman from the old days and revived in recent memory.
WHO!!!! CARES!!!!! Man people just wait for the freak’n movie for the love of god almighty in heaven!!!
P.S. I find it hilarious when people say movies like X men and Spider man sucked when like 99.9% of all people loved them including the guys that created them…strange eh?
I just REALLY hope in one of the Batman Dark Knight sequels they use Catwoman again. I would love to see like a Batman vs. Catwoman and Poison Ivy, kind of battle of the sexes.

To the person who swears that jacks joker was not how joker looked in the comics, that they made joker look like jack in newer comics…
Heres a picture of the joker from 1940!!!!!
Who cares if Ledger did Brokeback Mountain ? Will Smith’s first role was playing a gay man and I dont see people bitching about any movie he does as of late, and he seems to be doing quite well at the box office. Ledger is a good actor, Knight’s Tale & The Patriot I think he did fine in and I think he’ll do just fine pulling off being the joker. Seen the trailer and he brings a nice dark twist to it ; can’t wait for the movie. Until you see it dont knock it.
The recent news of Ledger is really sad. Its going to be difficult to watch the movie with what has happened.
H.L.‘s Joker is absolutely, hands down the absolute best depiction and the essence of what we know as “the Joker.” His transformations is like none other. Jack was an incredible Joker, but we have never seen a Joker so twisted, so sick and so human as Heath’s. I really don’t understand how anyone can doubt this or argue this. When I first heard that Heath was playing Joker, i honestly could not even picture it. When the footage came out…I was absolutely amazed and dumbfounded. I was speechless. I was like…Damn!! I can’t wait to see this film. He has been my desktop image for the last two months and now I refuse to take him off. I am a huge James O’Barr fan and The Crow is one of my favorite films and comic books of all time. I really have a hard time seeing the comparison and understanding why people are making these comparison’s, but these films are completely different. The characters are twisted in similar ways, both films are dark, but the level of talent and the development of characters are so different that i cannot comprehend the comparison. Brandon Lee was a fine actor but was much of an amateur compared to Heath Ledger. Heath Ledger took this character to a level that people will not recognize until years later. I was looking forward to this film being recognized and for H.L. being recognized for his incredible performance and now I fear that he will be recognized because he is dead and that is truly sad to me. Movies and music tend to sell more if the star or lead singer is dead and I didn’t want that to be the reason for this film’s success or his interpretation of this character. I wanted him to get recognized for the absolute genius that he was when he developed this character.
When this film comes out, I hope that people recognize him for the true talent that he was and not only give him recognition because of his untimely death.
One more thing: you can agree with me or not, but i am truly grateful for the fact that we were left with this piece of art and that the film was completed. I feel like he left us with something that will be remembered for all fans and respected…something we can be proud of. He was quoted as saying that this was the best role he has ever played and the best role he would EVER play and I would have to agree. I’m glad that he at least felt as passionate about this as some of us do.
Totally radical looking Joker. I really dig the dark elements of these new Batman movies..more adult than kiddie. The older Keaton era movies became a laughable joke. Kick a$$ Heath!
ok this joker does NOT look like the crow. sure his lip makeup goes accross his face but the crow’s was a small line that BARELY went past his lips and he had it on his eyes so lets just stop with that. can everyone just cut this bs, jack was great sure but he reminded me of the riddler a little to much put jim carrey as joker and jack as riddler and weve got the perfect match but we cant so we wont. heath is going to kill this part and if not for his untimely death he would be the face of the new batman movies, now some will rip me apart for saying that but for those who have their heads on straight they know what time it is! i can not wait to see this when its all put together it looks like its going to be the movie of the year! im sure weve all seen the clip of the bank robbing, that scene alone made me cream my pants, so talk all the shit you want but you know damn well youll be camping out to get you tickets to this MASTERPIECE!
joker is kick a$$ in this movie!!!!!!!!!! i love that new smeared paint, messsy green hair, and crazy laugh! he’s cool like that with his messy green hair!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE THE JOKER!!!!!!!!!!!!
All of you who were so quick to criticize Heath and Nolan while this movie was still being filmed, it sure as hell looks like you are going to eat your words. The trailers for the film are awesome and Heath’s performance rocks. I would love to see any of you taking shots out there top it.
HA HA HA! I guess a lot of you clowns are eating your words these days, now that it is common knowledge that ledger’s Joker is the best thing since sliced bread, no wait… its even better than that. Ledger (RIP) was no doubt an outstanding actor, I strongly believe that had he had the chance he would have become one of the greatest, alas his final completed work, as The Joker, will be a fitting tribute a fantastic talent, a magnificent person and a great Australian. Heath, we will remember you…
This is the defintion of the Joker. Heath Ledger’s portrayal of the psychotic mass murderer is one of the most oscar-worthy performances this year.He clearly made his last performance one to remember for years to come.The new Joker is for lack of a better word a terrorist with no remorse or feeling for human life.Michael Caine described it best “Some Men Just Want To Watch The World Burn”.
Oh man, looking back at all those suckers who posted in the beginning about how shit homeboy Ledger was gonna be, haha unlucky. Seen the ratings on IMDB today?? All due to Heath’s (untimely) death but AMAZING last performance, went out laughing, you were an inspirational Aussie actor and you have now obviously touched a lot of us, may you Rest in Peace.
From your fellow Aussie, S373N
I recently went to see the dark knight film and thought it was absolutley brillinat, heath ledger was amazing and probably the best joker i have ever seen. The comment about Jack nicholson being like jack nicholson instead of the joker is very true.
hahahaha I read the beginning and you guys must feel pretty stupid. Heath Ledger was amazing, I don’t know one person who HASN’T liked his performance as the joker or the movie. he makes nicholson look pretty lame…
Who wants Batman to beat Titanic sales, we should have one set, for all Batman Dark Knight fans to attend before it leaves theatre
I think Heath Ledger is the best and only actor in the whole world that could only play the joker. he was more dark meaner and scarier than Jack ever was I Love Heath Ledger he is sexy as hell and fine. I would marry him if he was still alive if I could I Love all of Heath’s movies. jack was alright but Heath was top #1 I’m glad that noone played joker but Heath any body else that did it would have sucked. I saw the movie 3 times best movie ever don’t judge befofe you see it. Put A Smile On That Face People Why So
serious?
Hi it’s me again Terrie.by the way I forgot to say that I have a real tattoo of Heath Ledger as the joker on my inner thigh of my leg. and later I’m getting by his face the writing why so serious? and the joker card he held up in the movie. Yep! I’m a true fan of Heath and him playing joker. wish I could show my tattoo of his face as joker, It’s kick ass. well gotta go! I’m gonna own a couple copies of the movie, when it comes out! I Love You Heath! Wish you were still alive!
I’ve seen this movie 15 times. I will keep going until they take it out of the theaters. Heath made the Joker sexy. He’s hot. He’s delicious to look at. His face, his hair, his clothes, his body, his lips and voice are driving me crazy. If Heath were alive today, this movie would have propelled him into super stardom beyond what he was before. I love Heath and miss him so fucking much!
I Agree with you on how sexy Heath Ledger is Lorraine, cause i’m married but if Heath came to my door id’e fuck him for hours or until I can’t fuck him no more. cause i’m a huge fan of him as the joker I would fuck him with or without his makeup.I also have a lot of his movies and i’m gonna own 2 copies of dark knight on dvd. I’m in love with him as himself and the joker.I would have an affair on my husband but only with Heath. Rock On Joker Heath Ledger!
oh yes, I’d fuck him with his makeup. That’s part of the appeal. I’d lick and suck on his red lips and smear his makeup all over. The Joker is mad hot sexy. I can’t get enough of him. He’s the sexiest thing I’ve seen since Alex from A Clockwork Orange. I’m married too but hubby understands me.
[…] […]
What’s up it’s me Terrie. I can’t wait to get my why so serious and the card of the joker he held up in the movie. I’m getting it on 9/22/08 I’m ready for his sexy fine self. It’s gonna be from the original poster Why So Serious? my tattoo of him is a picture of him from the dark knight pics! it’s fuckin bad ass! I really wish he was still alive! The Joker’s my only fav. villian, but only Heath Ledger, not Jack, or that other dumb joker who ever he was supposed to be what ever his fuckin name is I can’t remember off hand. thank god he wasn’t joker. who ever votes for that other joker is fuckin insane and dumb.

Tyson, your a fucking idiot. True, Jack Nicholson’s version of the joker was good. Practically excellent, but you cannot overlook the fact that Heath Ledger also did an astounding job in The Dark Knight. He practically had just about every person in the audience wishing that there was more to the movie.
Ms.Joker.says i’m gonna cut every ones face and everydody should be like the joker. I wanna be! Joker#1
every mother fucker and bitch in the world should have scars on there face like Heath Ledger Joker. i wish my face was scared like his,but of course only through surgery,i’m so pissed off and wish the whole world would be like joker,cause iv’e been used and stood up. joker’s my man. im in love with joker.but only heath, of course. if I was a criminal every one in the world would get there face cut like joker.id’e fucking make sure of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
