The Dark Knight (2008)

^^

the Joker isn't supposed to be funny, he's a saddistic, crazed out maniac killer, who announce his crimes before he commits...he's supposed to be insane...and from the reviews, Ledger is perfect...Jim Carrey would be shit for the role, we all saw Cable Guy...

but look at him on the number 23 movie that will tell you how perfect he will be for the joker

seeing as how rotten tomatoes had it in the worst 50 movies of all time, I don't think I'll be watching it anytime soon...

however, let's wait at least for the trailer in december before commenting on the supposed 'definitive' Joker

well thats because they didnt like the fact that a great comedian playing such a serious role it wasnt that bad, not great but at least worth a rental

u realize that RT is not one person reviewing the movie, but rather a huge collection of critics...

i know but still people are used to jim playing non-serious roles so people started saying before it even came out that it would suck just because of jim carrey playing a serious role thats just how a good amount of americans think but one thing for sure i will tell you is that it wont win a golden globe for sure but hey sometimes you got to think outside the box thats 1 thing americans dont show very often

[Bizi Jones]

not tru...look at The Truman Show...very well rated...not that I watched it

You know he has won 2 golden globes right? Both for serious/dramedy type roles. Of course he has been nominated for six total. People don't have a problem with him in serious roles, he has done plenty of them during this second act of his career. People just don't like crappy movies which 23 turned out to be. One of these days he'll get his Oscar nom, but not doing crap like that. What's really funny, he was nominated for a Razzie (worst new star) in 1994. They sure nailed him.

Another good example showing Jim Carrey as a good actor, look at the reviews from this movie, more serious than Truman Show...
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

He is a good actor, but he is type cast so often that the only serious roles he takes no one takes him seriously from the get-go, or the movies are just not that good to begin with half the time. But Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine are both good examples of his true acting talent.

As for Batman, this is a different take on the Joker, and I will have to see it to decide for myself. I still think Jim was a great Riddler, but the rest of the movie (plot, characters, costumes, etc.) sucked!

So six batman movies, six different suits. Is that all Bruce Wayne does inbetween fighting villians?

"Well, that takes care of the Penguin. Hey Alfred, time for you to fashion me a new suit. This one isn't popular with the kiddies anymore. Oh and I want nipples this time....just kidding Alfred. ha ha ho ho, Oh I should have been called the Joker. "

[BStecke]

Crispin Glover would have made a good Joker, as would, I think, Paul Bettany. It kills me when they show Batman in a room full of light. Like when he's jogging through Arkham in Batman Begins, or the pictures above. It takes all the potential fright out of the costume. I like how the cape doesn't look like a Medieval king's cape like it did in Batman Begins, with the two little deals at the base of the cowl that hold the cape on. I'm SO excited for this one, And Batman Begins on Blu-ray!

these pics were supposedely leaked...so don't judge the movie based on them alone...whether good or bad

when it comes to critics judging movies, i don't trust them, i would rather judge it myself. lord of the rings got 10 out of 10 according to critics, personally the movie was great, and wonderful, yet it didn't deserve the 10 out of 10. i heard bad things about the number 23, but i ended up liking the movie when i saw it. i think you should try judging the films yourself don't depend on other's words about it.

i would more likly imagine it coming out to blu next summer or spring but i dont think by christmas

Heath Ledger just looks like an emo villian not a true joker, Cesar Ramero(1960's kids!) looks alot better as the Joker then this new fag

Tim Burtons two Batman films will always be the best Batman films ever made, the actors were perfect, yes... the good old days when Batman didn't have a lisp and villians didn't look like emo's(Jonathan Crane looked like an emo to)
