Best live screen Joker was hands down Tommy Lee Jones.

Just a shame he was playing Two-Face

>>85042229
*live action

Romero
He was perfectly psychotic and the least retarded part of 60s batman. Jack pretty much knocked him off in a gimdark setting and then Heath knocked off jack grimmer darker

>>85041269

Respectfully disagree.

Nicholson's Joker has nothing on DeVito's Penguin.

Knock it off with all the Jokerposting.

>>85042496

You only beat me because I was looking for the video. But I tip my fedora to your good taste.

Glad we seem to be over ledgermania. I was getting rather sick of it. Sucks he went nuts and killed himself with pills and shit but man the meems were fucking the poor guy's corpse.

>>85042614
Burgess Meredith is up there as a great Penguin. Terrific Squawking Laugh.

Considering he's a Chicago-style ganster and doesn't need to make a funny/pretentious reason to kill you, he's definately the one I'd be least calm around.

>>85042803
TDK wasn't even top 5 of Heath's best performances.

Every live action Joker so far has been genuinely great. Haven't seen Suicide Squad yet, though.

>>85041448
I think its one of the worst Jokers. He's too annoying and not threatening

>>85042803
Honestly i have yet to see a bad live action Joker. I liked Nicholson, Ledger and Romero. They all fit well with their respective universe's Batman. I am even liking what see of Leto so far. Joker ( in live action) has been pretty lucky with actors, moreso than Batman.

>>85042343

The reason Romero is so great is because he was a flaming homosexual in real life.

>>85042614
Is this Danny Devito's best non-comedic role?

>>85043085
>Implying DeVito's Penguin was a non-comedic role.

>>85041269
Ledger was a superior actor

>>85043046
With Leto I think his interpretation is fine, but the costume design and makeup is just fucking retarded. I can't really blame him for that though. It probably wasn't entirely his decision.

>>85043010
>not threatening

You wouldn't dare say that to Jacks face, even if he's 100 years old, Nicholson is and always has been an alpha male kind of guy

If Jack were 20 years younger and 4 inches taller, he would've been perfect.

>>85043240
I like an older Joker.
I like an older Batman too.

Can we all just agree that the Burtman movies are superior to Nolan's average try-hard trilogy, nya?

>>85043085
No

>>85043329
Well Catwoman by far. Barking Mad preferable over stupid spy bullshit.

>>85043240
>and 4 inches taller
Joker is only 6'0. If anyone needs inches it's Keaton's Batmanlet.

>>85043238
We'll see. I'm prepared to be let down by Saints Row Boss No.34276

>>85043329
Different times and different attitudes.
They're all good for when they were made.
Although Adam West should replace every Batman that has come after. I don't care how old he is. Just to hear him do the Nolan Batman's dialog would be owrth it.

>>85043425
Oh, I'm pretty sure the movie will be hot dog shit, but that won't be Leto's fault. Not entirely anyway.

>>85043196
It was a tragic character, fitting the tone of the most beautiful and tragic Batman movie ever. Batman Returns is seriously fucking underrated.

>>85043010
>not Heath 'Hot Topic' Ledger's depiction

>>85041269
It's hard not to love Nicholson in anything he does.

>>85043464
Oh sure just a different manner of normalizing characters to not be utter bastards that deserved to die.

Joker not treating Harley like trash

Come on son.

>>85041269
I consider Nicholson and Ledger to be 1A and 1B, frankly, perfect for the versions of the character they were asked to play.
This is still my favorite Nicholson scene:

I'm more upset about Will Smith as Deadshot. He's just not the best actor for that role.
It'll be a villain movie without villains.

>>85043491

Max is also pretty tops as well. Dat some good Walken.

>>85043329

Both are products of their time to an extreme degree, it's pointless argue this fight.

The great thing about Batman is how malleable he is to every style and tone, and all the movies and shows we've gotten are great proof of that.

>>85043637
They needed a headliner. Heard more than one person that will go to the film for Will Smith.

>>85043704
They always do. At least six people went to "After Earth" so they should get at least that many for "Suicide Squad."

>>85041269

fucking

>>85043674
> it's pointless argue this fight.
I kind of disagree, yes they are movie from different times but that doesn't mean one can't be better or more enjoyable than the other.

>>85043639
Yep, all the actors and their characters are top tier in the movie. Even though I don't really like Penguin or Catwoman, this movie is my favorite Batman movie.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aN2OU0pk-Q

>>85043704
Is Will Smith actually a headliner though? When was the last time the guy was in a legit blockbuster?

>>85043925
He's still the worlds favorite unobjectionable black dude. World Knows the Fresh Prince. Word is he did a credit rap. But they wouldn't use it.

I could go for a Squad Rap.

>>85043925
It doesn't really matter, Will Smith is one of those eternally famous people like Mark Whalberg...it really doesn't matter if he's been in a good movie in a while, they're just known as icons because Hollywood, much like politics, is a puppet show

The only reason anybody is famous is because they tell you they are

>>85043419
Keaton and Nicholson are both 5'9. Batman is 6'2. DC comics encyclopedia says Joker is 6'5 but everywhere else says 6'0. I guess it depends on the comic.

>>85043530

Jack Nicholson already has a creepy fucking smile, I have no idea why they went with the prosthetic. I gotta say though, when he lets go with the laugh he's damn near perfect.

>>85044028
>Joker is 6'5
That's some bull. Not once have I seen Joker taller than Batman.

>>85043444
A while back I suggested Adam West should play Alfred in future movies.
Then that idea spiraled out into 'Every movie should cast one of the previous Batmen as Alfred'.

>>85043076
True story:
He was good friends with Desi Arnaz (strictly platonic), but there was still a bit of tension on Romero's part. So one day they were haning out around the pool, just shooting the shit and Desi says "Alright Cesar, I know you've been thinking about it, so just go ahead and get it out of the way."
And then Romero blew him,
According to the parties involved, once it was done, that was it. They stayed friends for years, and never had another fling.

You know what they say, A friend will help you move a sofa. A REAL friend will let you blow him just so you can get it out of your system.

>>85043986

>>85043530
God I love that. I know he looks kind of weird with the permanent smile and he's a bit old but he actually managed to balance the silliness with a good deal of menace.

I also feel like if you like Bicolospn you should like Ledger, and vice versa. Both were conspicuously colorful aspects of their grim worlds, both put on an affected voice, and both had murky and nonspecific plans that seemed to be pursuing some kind of anarchic ideal but in reality both were just doing it for the laughs.

>bitching about normies
>over Batman '89
the 1989 Batman film was a goddamned blockbuster that not only launched a movie series, but inspired the animated series we all know and love, which itself eventually led to the Superman and Justice League cartoons. This film is as far as "normies" even got into Batman back in the day.

If you're gonna complain, just grouse about how stupid kids don't watch the classics like every other old fart.

>>85043925
He's been out of the acting business for personal reasons for a while. Not because he's less marketable.

Still mad he's not in IW2, but whatever.

>>85044800
>This film is as far as "normies" even got into Batman back in the day.
You're only proving my point further. You have to be a super normie to have never even bothered to watch this movie and call yourself a Batman fan, it's Batman 101

>>85041485
I think more than a few tracks were originally backburner stuff Prince had demos of and the Batman soundtrack allowed him to modify and complete a few of them to implement into the movie.

>>85045495

He just acted like himself wearing fucking clown make up.
Joker doesn't quote fucking poetry.

right, because there's only ever been two interpretation of the Joker so if he doesn't like Nicholson he must like the current 2edgy4u version because that's the only other one and you're not just trying to make a weak strawman argument at all.

No, because Batman Returns was garbage compared to any of the Nolan movies.

>>85050476
Batman Returns had a better romance arc than Rises.

>>85050476

Batman Returns is barely a Batman movie, it's a Dick Tracy movie on crystal meth directed by Burton and his Burtonest.

It's barely a Batman movie. I'm not even saying that as an insult.

You've clearly missed the point. Good job using the opportunity to signal to everyone that you're Nolan Batman experts, though. We're all very impressed.

His Gotham was uninspired, and if it weren't for Batman's rogues, the city wouldn't even need him, yet the movies imply that if it weren't for him, his rogues wouldn't be that crazy in the first place.

OooOOOoo so circular! So deep!

>>85050714

>His Gotham was uninspired, and if it weren't for Batman's rogues, the city wouldn't even need him

Too bad they never showed why this was something beyond the capabilities of the FBI. The city is incredibly ordinary. Even Fox's Gotham manages to seem more corrupt.
>and the League would have torched the city even if he didn't exist.
Which would have made a lot more sense if the city didn't seem so ordinary. There are cities in the League's home continent where child prostitutes get raped every hour in real life, but the league wants to destroy Gotham for being corrupt?

I enjoyed the movies, but their version of Gotham is dull.

That opening scene would be CLASSIC Joker if they had just decided "Screw it, we're recasting Batman, might as well recast Joker too and do a soft reboot."

Would Jim Carrey have been cast as the Joker instead? Or would they have given it to Robin Williams afterall? Or maybe, since U2 was involved, they would've pulled an even bigger stunt-casting and gave the part to Bono.
