Upcoming Films

Cheap imitation of "you're a funny guy". Hope that isn't the best it has to offer. Depp looks an odd choice too.

Cheap imitation of "you're a funny guy".

Exactly my thoughts.

[JagSquared]

Just seen its about whitey bulger how many films have they made about him already?

[Cardie]

First picture of Jared Leto as The Joker.

 

 

Nope, just, nope.

 

As someone one in the comments section of another website put it, it looks like a 12 year old has been let loose on the character creation screen for Saints Row.

[RedKnight]

[RedKnight]

Looks like Marilyn Manson.

[Mook]

Jack Nicholson nailed the joker, the other ones are pail imitations.

[Cardie]

Looks like Marilyn Manson.

 

Or worse, Deadpool from X-Men Origins but with green hair.

Ledger pisses all over Nicholson's Joker, and not for any posthumous recognition nonsense, it just does.

[Lee909]

Unsure how it will work but i think it makes sense to move away from the shadow of Nicholson and Ledger.

 

I did listen to a interview with a batman writer a while back who said he loved one writer maki g the Joker like a faded Bowie with groupies etc. Looks like they have gone that route.

[Anubis]

"Do you wanna know how I got these tattoos? My father was a drinker and an ink fiend..."

 

Probably shouldn't judge until we see it in the reel, so to speak, but it's looking like another WB misstep.

If licking your lips and speaking funny is your thing then aye.

 

I thought he was fucking shite.

[Lee909]

Remember the shit they got for making Ledger the Joker. Id wait and see

Think the Joker from Suicide Squad animated film (Assault on Arkham?) was suitably different to either of those and was a more understated psychopath who you knew could flip out at any minute, this one looks more like a gangster Joker.

[Anubis]

"Do you wanna know how I got these teeth? My father worked in a sugar processing plant..."

 

Sorry, can't help myself.

Nah. He was superb. Much closer to the Joker of the excellent Killing Joke. The lip licking was a cracking touch - it emphasised the damage to his mouth which had probably damaged his saliva glands. Nice subtle character touch.

 

Nicholson's Joker did fit Burton's Batman, but Ledger's was the superior portrayal in my humble opinion. But each to their own.

Yeah

I did like that one. Pretty good film too.

I just prefer to wait and dont watch must of the build up to films. People loose there shit all the time over things that turn at ok

[manwiththestick]

I'm holding out hope, Leto is actually a very good actor when he puts his mind to it, I think his portrayal will move away from the calculated madness of Ledger's Joker (which I think was just better than Nicholson's) and be more out there psychotic.

Fair enough, I prefer the Burton Batman myself, he didn't sound like the cookie monster for a start.

 

Be boring if we all agreed on everything.

[RedKnight]

I can't work out how DC/Warner continually fuck up their properties, even going as far as to not tie in their TV Show characters with the rest of their universe. I think it might be down to a lack of a singular figure, like Kevin Feige at Marvel, who is able to knit it all together. The recent Batman films were great because they were Chris Nolan films, not because Warner had any vision.

[Scott_M]

I think the 'Damaged' tattoo on his forehead is somewhat unnecessary.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Nicholson's joker better than Ledger? No. Notbin the same league; not even the same fucking sport.

[Mook]

One of the greatest actors to ever grace the screen vs the bloke out of Brokeback Mountain, I know who my money is on.

What does that have to do with anything? It's one performance vs the other.

Aye and I think Jack Nicholson was much better than Heath Ledger at being the Joker, him being a far superior actor helped.

 

I've watched The Dark Knight a few times, tried to understand what all the fuss is about but I just don't get it at all. Anyway, I've said my piece on the matter.
