I really just cannot see Ledger being able to do this role. Nicholson always had that crazy look about him and has pulled off roles where he came across as psychotic and delusional (Shining). Ledger hasnt played any roles like that and just doesnt have that wild man look about him. Really. Way to miscast arguably one of the coolest villians in any comic series ever, assholes.Quote:

Jack Nicholson was a great joker. He was so damned evil.Quote:

Agreed on all counts.Quote:

STFU. The fact that Jim Carrey was in any Batman movie was a fucking waste. At least they put him in one that would have sucked even without him ruining it.Quote:

Heath Ledger? Not sure about that decision. Guess I'll take a wait and see approach.
I liked Carrey as the Riddler, it just sucks that the movie was terrible.
I guess it's just typical PR. I think Heath Ledger is a really odd pick. He doesn't look anything like The Joker and I can't think of any roles he's played that really cement his acting ability along the lines of a character like this. Robin Williams would've been the best choice, IMO. He can be crazy and over the top and then reel it in to a really distrubed and morose place. Adrian Brody looks a lot like The Joker. I think the choice of Ledger has more to do with the buzz surrounding him coming off of Brokeback Mountain over anything else.Quote:

Well... he was in A Knight's Tale with Ledger.Quote:
