Off TopicWhy are people so big on him? He wasn't that nuts, he wasn't that funny. He wasn't much of a joker. Everywhere I look people say he's a best, even complaining about Mark Hamill not being more like him in the new batman games. Heath Ledger was a crap actor, let's face it. the only good part in the movie with him was when he tried to blow up the hospital and the detonator didn't work at first. I'd rather have seen more of Two face, at least he was cool looking.

Please wait...

Ugh, I really hate the Dark Knight.
I really like Batman Begins, but I really hate the Dark Knight.
Jack Nicholson was so natural in his performance you can't help but see Jack behind the makeup. Jacks a funny guy with charisma shooting out his wazoo. But for my money, he wasn't The Joker, just Jack Nicholson. Who I like and respect as an actor.
Mark Hamill is one of my favorite Jokers hands down. I think if we saw him do a real life Joker, it would be something more akin to Heath Ledgers in that we wouldn't see Mark Hamill, but the Joker instead. Is it just me or is that a scary thought?
Here's an example of what I'm talking about: Willy Wonka. Gene Wilder vs. Johnny Depp. Gene WIlder was more natural in his role of Wonka. He came off as genuinely creepy and crazy, and for my money was the better Wonka. Johnny Depp tried to create that but he failed. His act reeked of tired old ideas and cliches, a very poorly built Wonka was what we got in the end.
I believe that when there is a larger than life character to tackle you need one of two things: A larger than life actor or a really talented actor who can fully envelop himself in the character he's creating. As with the example above, Depp is a larger than life actor. We couldn't help but see Depp and not Wonka, which is why he resorted to lame shticks and gimmicks.
Which brings me back to my point. Heath Ledger. The man knew what he was doing. Sure it was all created, but what he created was a masterpiece. You can see all the research and work that went into that role. He created a being with charisma and humor and psychosis that wasn't him and then wore it like a glove. He was the Joker! All the ticks and laughs were the Joker, not Heath Ledger. He simply wore the Joker and he wore it well.
Something tells me thought that had he lived he would've started feeling the pangs of typecasting. Watch The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus and tell me I'm wrong. He would've had a really hard time erasing that role from peoples minds and finding different roles. The other thing is that although he was the definitive Joker of our time, he will undoubtedly be "1-uped" by someone in another 15 or 20 years. I look forward to it, but for my money, Heath Ledger was the Best JOKER...so far.
I resent that.
I don't see why there's such a big fuss over heath ledgers joker,I thought he was good.Before you crucify me for saying that just let me say I also very much liked matt hamills joker.ledgers joker was appealing to me because it was just a dark and sadistik take on the joker.I can't say much for nicholson's but I know his was a bit more comedic.I think people need to just accept the fact that not everybody likes the same stuff,I would figure the older members such as your self would get that by now.
As much as I loved the Superfriends back in the day, I have to admit it was pretty awful.
TDK Joker is HIGHLY overrated.
I hate hearing people that have never even picked up a comic in their entire life say.
"He's more true the comics"
..........WHAT?!
I hate TDK.
