electricmage Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Aside from the just plain awful circumstances, Heath Ledger won't be around to see how people react to his portrayal as the greatest villain of all time. I'm guessing most people will be in awe. Here's a bootleg version of the new Dark Knight Trailer. http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/the-d...otleg-trailer-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangani Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 the greatest villain of all time. Says who? That's very debatable. I'm guessing most people will be in awe. Underwhelmed actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb Derigable Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I wouldn't say that Heath was a fav of mine, but i am pissed he died becasue he could definitly be a great robert plant I thought the last batman was the best movie i saw in the last couple of years. If they could get the same magic again, this would go down as the greatest heath movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepyep Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hi all, Jacks performance fit the movie perfectly. No one could've done a better job. Heath's character fits this movie. It'll be completely different takes on the Joker Heath,will be a much more realistic Joker (i.e. the comic book(s) than Jack's ever was,IMO.

Pb Derigable Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Do you mena the 75 yearold gene wilder to play a 25 year old robert plant or the 75 year old gene wilder to play the 59 year old Plant. Yes the gene wilder of the 1970's will be a good robert plant, but while you're there, you mght as well get the real robert plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricmage Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Says who? That's very debatable. Underwhelmed actually. The Joker is one of the most recognizable villains in fiction.

It's known fact that Burton never picked up a comic. Heath had guidance from Joker's creator on set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gainsbarre Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I never really cared for Heath Ledger, until I saw Lords Of Dogtown, and it took me half the movie to realise it was him! That's when I became impressed with him. He was really good in Brokeback Mountain too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigstickbonzo Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 The Joker is without a doubt the best comic villain of all time. It's still debatable how the arch-enemy of a man dressed up as a bat is a man who looks like a clown because he nearly drowned in toxic waste. But I think it dives into people and strikes a chord. A clown is supposed to be a man of constant entertainment and unwielding improvisation. Someone you can never trust because you can't see their real face, and someone you should fear because he is unpredictable. The same element that drives Batman as a heroic vigilante. Nicholson is the Joker. Period. I only wish he played him 10 years younger, probably would have been more physical with the role. Cuckoo's Nest is his best role, and there are definitely elements of McMurphy that went into his role as the Joker, same with his portrayel of the Devil in the Witches of Eastwich. I'm fully anticipating Ledger's performance with an open mind. It won't be the same, and thats good. I wouldn't want him doing a Nicholson impersonation. Jack's portrayel was more offbeat and mildly cynical, a trait of the Joker. Ledger is tapping other aspects of the Joker's constantly evolving personality and plays a more dark and murderous villain, something I applaud. Why Nicholson will always be the best? This scene. This laugh. This fuckin' guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Plant Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Heath will be amazing in this movie, and I am sure it will be a very good end to his career. And I hate to "what if" it....but would he be getting so much attention for this movie if he was still alive? Probably not. Regardless, he is going to be phenomenal and probably be better than Nicholson when it comes to the more serious side of the role. But Nicholson was always the original That clip is great. This was always my favorite, esp when he mocks the statue.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tgxIWgJ_DE I don't like when they destroy the Degas though!

It's known fact that Burton never picked up a comic. Heath had guidance from Joker's creator on set. I completely agree. That Batman movie was in no way a showing of the real Batman from the comics. It was more light-hearted and Nicholson filled the role as best could be done. I loved that movie, but it's not real Batman to me. Wizard magazine voted the Joker as the greatest villain of all time. My hope is that Ledgers will live up to that and portray the Joker as has never been done before. It's time the Batman film universe became as dark-themed as the comics are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he played a good Joker, but I don't think he was as mentally insane and impossibly evil as the Joker from the comics are, although I will admit, his laugh was damn good.

Dzldoc Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 It was pretty campy but at 9yo it was cool. They had alot of big stars on that series. I especially liked the episode where Batman and Robin had a fight with the Green Hornet and Kato aka Bruce Lee. Batman held his own but Robin got his ass kicked lol.
