Can someone explain to me why this is considered a good performance?

>>87653631
Nah but at the time people loved seeing Jack ham it up. It's a bit dated but I still think it's in like with Tim Burton's style.

>>87653631
HE'S EVIL AND HE LOVES IT, WHATS NOT TO GET YOU FUCK

>>87653631
Why did Burton give him a cheap Kuchisake-Onna smile?

>>87653631
At least he tried to look and act like the Joker, unlike Ledger and Leto

>>87653793
Leto's not Joker, he's Robin who lives through the idea that Joker will haunt Batman even after he's dead.

Because Seezer Romero was the only other person to portray the character in the Adam West show and this was Jack Nicholson playing the Joker in the first live action Batman movie that attempted to be dark.

>Was it close to the comics or something?

Not remotely. Tim Burton prided himself on having never read any of the comics....for better or worse.

It's fun as fuck, but not in the MCU lel randumb way. He was also creepy as fuck.

OP here. Thanks, I think I get it now when taking Romero as a reference point.

People always praise performances that capture mania.

>he becomes the joker by falling in a vat of acid
>batman actually kills people like he did in the earliest comics
It was accurate in some ways.

NEW AND IMPROVED JOKER PRODUCTS, WITH THE NEW SECRET INGREDIENT... SMILEX.

UH OH, HE DON'T LOOK HAPPY. HE'S BEEN USING BRAND X!

>>87653631
Because his dialogue was 10/10.

>Was it close to the comics or something?
Why would that matter? No one reads the comics.

Jack Nicholson probably didn't take the role too seriously but he at least earned the massive payday he got from it unlike Brando.

"You look fine."

"I didn't ask."

WRONG
Brando earned every penny and he wasn't even trying.
