The next Joker

This is probably not true, I hope, but according to this, they're considering

"I'm a smoker
I'm a Joker
I'm a midnight Toker...."

I reckon Bruce Campell would be good in that part.

That would be awsome but I think its a bit to early. You know how hollywood is with last minute changes.

Oh Jesus, please tell me this is a joke. One of the most overrated actors ever. He would be horrible in the role.

still just a rumor. sean penn has no sense of humor, something kind of necessary to play the joker. i want crispin glover, and he's actually in the running for it, along with paul bettany. mark hammill even was at one point, but that's a long shot.

Agree.

i heard Crispin Glover..and i hope he gets it..he'd be great

i totally agree! he would be awesome

I'm just curious how there gonna portray the Joker really. Are they gonna make him really dark and insane or try to recreate somewhat how Jack played him.

Where's that comic where the guy keeps a jar full of quarters for every time Ain't It Cool News is really fucking wrong?

Trying to recreate Jack's interpretation seems like a great recipie for failure.

Crispin Glover, PLEASE....

or Willem Dafoe, those TEETH!

Fuck Jack Nicholson....."OK, so we need a guy to play a hyperactive, anorexic psychopath.....I know! Let's get a fat balding old guy and let him act lethargic!"

I always thought Skeet Ulrich or Johnny Deep would be good as the Joker. They both have the same look, but Ulrich would come off as a bit creepier.

mark hamill would rock.

It would be hilarious if they played the Joker as a totally humorless fuck.

Play him as the mass-murdering psychotic fuck that he is in the comics.

You mean the "Harry Knowles is a stupid fucker" jar? Right here:

Isn't it almost guaranteed that aintitcool is wrong about everything?

Negatory.....not everything. The opinions are often the most faulted part of the reporting.

they shouldn't try the Joker again

Jack makes them all look bad

Precisely. Jack played him as a murdering bastard.

"I'm glad you're dead."

"Bob. Gun." *Bang*

I think they need to get Pee-Wee for the joker... mmm hmm


I like them french fried pataters mmm hmm

I disagree. Don't get me wrong, Jack did a great job in that particular movie but someone could take it in a bit of a different direction and do it really really well. The Joker in the first Burton/Batman was a fucking a pansy compared to the Joker in either "Killing Joke" or "Arkham Asylum" books.
