Who else could play The Joker in Batman movies? - Blu-ray Forum

tron3 · 07-22-2008, 09:50 PM

I will not see the movie until this weekend. I have no idea what happens to the Joker. Don't tell me anything.

Sure Jack Nicholson played a great Joker. But he also played him a little fruity in keeping some loose ties to the kid-friendly concepts of Batman cartoons. I doubt he would even want to reprise the role. Further more, I doubt the fans want him back!

In just seeing the clips it is obvious Heath Ledger has made cinimatic history. I doubt anyone could fill his shoes. So why bother? To give us something to talk about.

Some Nominations:

* William Dafoe (Made a great Green Goblin, and has the face for a great Joker in my opinion.)

* William H. Macy. I also think he as the face for it. Dunno about acting skills.

* John Travolta. Has the face. Great acting ability, even though not all his films are great.

* Tom Hanks. 'Nuff said. "Wilson! The Bat is back!"

* Unknown. You know what sometimes makes great movies more believable? The fact that "unknowns" play the part.

Suggestions? Rants? Please, no inbred fighting.

Do the fans even WANT to fill Heath Ledger's big floppy Joker shoes?

William H. Macy is one of the best actors around, I just don't see him as the Joker. He usually plays much more serious roles. But then again, before seeing The Dark Knight I couldn't see Heath Ledger as the Joker and we all know how that turned out

All those actors you said were too old to play Joker, Ledger's replacement will be around the same age because it would be weird if they have someone who is 28 and then cast someone who is 50

You mean all the actors the OP listed, are too old. I was just the first reply. I understand what you mean though. I was just saying that William H Macy is an great actor.

To bad Gary Oldman is already in the movie i think he would make a greta Joker.

theprophecy247 · 07-22-2008, 10:11 PM

no one should play him again, but if its must DDL can play anything hes amazing

prankster · 07-22-2008, 10:12 PM

i think johnny depp can pull it off. he is a very versatile actor.

Blu-Jawa · 07-22-2008, 10:09 PM

John Travolta???

Are you Kidding?! IMO No Way.

koreyman · 07-22-2008, 10:02 PM

Daniel Day Lewis, Johnny Depp, and Cilian Murphey (had he not played Scarecrow already )

MATTYBLU2 · 07-22-2008, 10:08 PM

clive owen?

Bourne1 · 07-24-2008, 01:10 AM

That was what I was going to say. I think Johnny Depp is the only one right now that can pull it off and move it forward from where Heath Ledger left it.

obviosuly NOT The only problem I have with that comment but it was ridiculous comment to begin with yes??

koreyman · 07-22-2008, 10:06 PM

and what the hell Shia Leboff (not sure if that is spelled right) but he is in everything.

seanjohn21276 · 07-24-2008, 12:14 AM

I just saw it today. I don't think they should recast the Joker. Heath Ledger played the hell out of that role. I wouldn't know who they should get if they decide to recast though.

GreenScar · 07-24-2008, 05:07 PM

Remember Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys?

I'm just sayin'
