LOL, I guess. The only reason I like Williams is because he can play to both sides well (I sincerely doubt he would be all zany all the time or ham it up). He doesn't really fit the physical description.

Also, Carrey's quite accomplished as an actor. If you let him be serious he would, and I have no doubt that he'd enjoy playing something other than the over the top stuff he normally draw people to the box office for. But I doubt anybody could look past the fact that he was The Riddler way back. A shame, really.

Also, like I've said, I've had enough seemingly miscast actors suprise me in the past that I'm willing to wait and see if Ledger does the same. It's certainly possible. After all, he's a straight guy who was willing to cornhole another man on-screen for a movie role. Who knows what he'll be willing to do as The Joker?

Exactly.

Like I'm Never Funny said, Carrey's got a lot more range than many give him credit for. He's done subdued roles.

Nicholas Cage might have been good.

There's something about Nicolas Cage I don't like. I can't put my finger on it.

Same here. I can't say why I don't like him. I just don't.

What's really weird is how many people I talk to say the exact same thing.

Only if he jumps around screaming "I'M CASTOR TROY!!! I'M CASTOR TROY!!!"

Holy shit no. Every role he's in, he's the same person. No matter what he does, it's like "There's Nick Cage looking grumpy. Now he's happy and smiling. Wait, I think that's just gas."

I back up the Robin Williams. He is awesome in some of the dramas he's done. Check out Final Cut, it's weird but he is great and the Night Whisperer looks great as well.

I think Williams could have used a bit of his comedy with his great acting skills to perfectly fit Joker.

I don't think Ledger is a bad pick though. Not who I expected but it might work out well, I'll give him a chance. I can't quit him.

It's probably because he acts the same or himself in every movie like Will Smith, there is no real "acting". You can tell its him, rather than an actual movie character.
