Isifhan Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 To do this right Leger needs to get as far away from the Nicholson image of the Joker as possible. No bright green hair, no red lipstick. If it were me I would go goth with it, dark green/jet black hair, black lipstick etc. Base it on this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMetal Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 sigh...Brokeback Joker. On another note, Laurence Fishburne is doing the voice of the Silver Surfer in the new FF movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitzpackage Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Rachel Dawes-Maggie Gyllenhaal I'm sold! Not the most attractive woman in the world, but something about her is undeniably sexy.

If it were me I would go goth with it, dark green/jet black hair, black lipstick etc. Base it on this: the director Christopher Nolan has eluded to more of "A Clockwork Orange" Joker than a campy Nicholson joker. He wants to get to the original essence of the comic book Joker witch is much more sadistic and ruthless,mass murdering rapist. It will be less about his appearance (even though he will have the more classic Joker look) and more about the madness underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartacus87 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 +1; I don't think the recast of Joker will come even close. I feel like people who actually believe that Nicholson was even a remotely good Joker have never actually read a Batman novel featuring the character. Ledger and this writing/directing team will absolutely blow away the previous "Joker" (the name should be used very loosely when describing Nicholson's portrayal).

Soundwave Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Yea, there are allot of "The Killing Joke" and "Long Halloween" refrences rumored to be in The Dark Kinght. Excellent news. The Killing Joke still ranks as one of the best Graphic Novels I have ever read. Still havent got round to reading Long Halloween though Will deffinitley make sure I check it out now then.

Ledger and this writing/directing team will absolutely blow away the previous "Joker" (the name should be used very loosely when describing Nicholson's portrayal). I know, I know,.......I try to hold hold back blasting Nicholson as the Joker, really it's what Burton invisioned and it worked for his movie. So that is what it is....... Here are a few quotes of Nolans more true to the source comic book Joker-- While he would not go into great detail about The Joker, to be played by Oscar nominee Heath Ledger in the sequel, Nolan did advise fans that Alan Moore's classic graphic novel The Killing Joke won't be the only influence on the sequel's depiction of the Clown Prince of Crime. Chris Nolan- "I also would point very much to the first two appearances of the Joker in the comic. If you look at where the Joker comes from there's a very clear direction that fits what we're doing very well," Nolan said. Jett from Batmanonfilm.com "From what I've heard about the direction of the film expect The Joker to be very creepy and very extreme," a trusted source for BoF advised the site, claiming that Ledger's Clown Prince will be totally unlike Jack Nicholson's portrayal in the 1989 film. Other rumors have included the comic book scenes where Joker kills a whole class of kindergardeners as well as his rape and abuse of Barbra Gordon in front of Commisioner Gordon to drive him insane. Pictures of a school bus have been scene on set this week in Chicago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blighty Skins Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I would rather watch your cat take a dump too. Actually, if you watch my cat taking a dump, she gets a little tiolet shy and will find another bush she can hide behind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
