Girly hiyaz!~ Gamer Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 I'm with the whole "you can't compare them" side. How many people do you see comparing Heath's the Cesar's? Nicholson was fantastic. Ledger was fantastic.
Guest Maase Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Well... not that many people saw Cesar's performance :X
Paj! Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Also, they're literally pointless to compare. The 60's Batman show wasn't serious in any way, it was light entertainment. Nicholson and Ledger played Joker in a serious environment.

Nicholson and Ledger played Joker in a serious environment. 60's show - Campy Burton's Films - Comical Nonal's Films - Serious Totally different characters and moods. Pointless to compare.
Guest Maase Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Yeah, because seeing Penguin biting a nose off a men and seeing McDonald's stop the Happy Meal as soon as the movie was screened = Comical
Paj! Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 60's show - CampyBurton's Films - Comical Nonal's Films - Serious Totally different characters and moods. Pointless to compare. Burton's films weren't lacking in darkness though. Compared to the actually dark Nolan films, yeah they were. Relative to the 60's show, they were worlds apart. 2 serious Jokers = Comparable. Or at least you can say which you prefer. Ledger's Joker was a better character, in any case. You can prefer the clown-ishness of Nicholson, but I don't.
Girly hiyaz!~ Gamer Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Yeah, because a man who drives a giant duck, living in the sewers with penguins for 30+ years = Serious I don't prefer any Joker, I love both their performances the same. I just don't like now this film has come out all these people immediately declaring Nicholson's as crap.
Guest Maase Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Yeah, because a man who drives a giant duck, living in the sewers with penguins for 30+ years = Serious Doesn't matter tough, No More Heroes is a ridiculous game and funny, it still has a lot of violence, so... Dark... Batman is the same... funny, still, has lots of violence and isn't directed to kids, so... Dark.. Being this movie dark, Joker is dark too... Being Joker dark and Heath Ledger's Joker dark too, that means they can be comparated...
Paj! Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Yeah, because a man who drives a giant duck, living in the sewers with penguins for 30+ years = Serious Why does serious equal realistic to you? It's based of a superhero comic, for heaven's sake. Be thankful they didn't let Penguin use his trick umbrellas more than he already did. Burton protrayed Penguin and Catwoman perfectly, managing to make them not uterly ridiculous (60's), while still making they dramatic villains. if you can't see that Burton's films are more serious AND realistic than the 60's, you've gone bonkers.

Guest Maase Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 That doesn't make sense, as much as you want it to do it... Burton movies were all serious, what was comical were Forever and Batman and Robin...
Paj! Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 errrrr yeah Comical as a description makes no sense. The 60's shows just keyed off what was the style in the comics, same with Burton's films and now Nolan's films. Batman comics have come a long way since the 60's, and the film reflect that (except Schumacher, but I'm not including them). So all 3 era's are comical.
Retro_Link Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 I've just seen the a horrible video on Youtube of papparazzi interviewing Nicholson immediately after Ledgers death. Actually made me feel a bit sick! Nicholson goes on to my 'who I'd punch in the face' list! and I would..... repeatedly!

Coolness Bears Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I didn't realise Shrek 2 was so high up!
Platty Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I saw it on sat night. Was pretty good. Joker was immense. However, I kept laughing at Batmans voice. I mean seriously it's so funny. Did anyone else notice that the girl Maroni was chatting to in the club was Mandy from Hollyoaks? no just me then......
