New Joker - WHY SO SERIOUS?

its not about who did the best and trying to continue THAT portrayal.. if that was the case then val kilmer, george clooney and christain bale would be mimicking micheal keatons performance.

And heath ledger would have mimicked nicholson (because MANY believed his was great performance that couldn't be surpassed especially not by brokeback mountain actor ledger)

get a different actor expect a different portrayal..particularly with the joker character which is bottomless and handle all kinds of mutations on the character..

I understand what you're trying to say, but none of those actors died, so that's another reason this performance has left a great impression, b/c we will "never" witness one like it. Not saying that a better performance can't be, but that is something that's needed for it to smooth over well into the next batman.

it doesn't matter that ledger died.. its not like he was this revered much loved actor to begin with..

the truth is that man was putting in performances on that caliber for a while and no one really cared...are you going to see brokeback mountain or lords of dogtown or the brothers grimm or monsters ball?

His portrayal of Joker was just one of many for him.. the film was done to prove it...ceasing the character or getting someone to ape his performance isn't honoring that.. In fact he'd probably NOT be happy if he knew they did that.

Heath Ledger's Joker is dead...long live a NEW Joker.

Dude should do something more productive with his life.. I was not impressed.

I´m one of the few people who haven´t seen the movie(Overhyped movies make me lose interest)....But the way people are talking about Ledgers perfomance and naming the movie one of the best ever has got me curious to see what the hype is about....

thats the problem with imitation..its easy to go over what someone DID..it becomes a problem tho when theres new grown to be broken..what would LEDGERS joker do on a different new script?

What choices would LEDGER make? Maybe he wouldn't do the exact same performance as he did in TDK...we'll never know.

Beat me to it. He wouldn't work nearly as well. It's a great impersonation, but that's what it is. Play the real scene with his side by side, he has the voice, but the timing is off. Imitation is easier than actually crafting the voice. Heath became the Joker. This guy is impersonating Heath.

Which is exactly what the problem with Superman Returns was, which is one of the greater reasons why it was so awful.

Kevin Spacey impersonating Gene Hackman, rather than Kevin Spacey acting as Lex Luthor. Same shit here.



On a side note:That was hard to watch.

Really good portrayal!

twisted & twisted acting whiteboys have a new god

anyone ever wonder why The Joker's make-up wasn't removed when he was locked up in the clink?

cause its a movie

maybe becuz its not make up...

in the comic canon the jokers ultra white skin is the result of a chemical misshap..

his perpetual smile is because his face muscles are palsied like that...

ledgers version has the smile cut in (probably self inflicted) and the make up is unexplained

Because when shit hits the fan and they catch the joker, they decide on passing up giving him a shower and taking off the makeup.

he was only locked up for a short time really.
