Film & TV The Dark Knight

[Dogmatic187]

but here is my question: why does the Joker have to be scary? it's not a horror movie, the 89 Batman was a comic book movie that was mainly targeted towards kids. he didn't have to be scary, just ruthless (well, comic book ruthless anyway).

The Joker has to be the ONLY one who laughs at his jokes, he won't look around the room to see if someone else is cracking up, or egg on his henchmen to join him. He's suppost to find it funny, because when he tells a joke, it's usually during a very hostile situation, where laughing is the last thing on someone's mind.

The Joker is demented, he's sadistic, cunning and ruthless, he'll never attempt to kill Batman, because Batman is his equal, and as you saw. ALL of that was portrayed brilliantly in TDK.

The Joker is so crazy he's scarry, get put in a room with a crazy person who is unpredicatable and you tell me you wouldn't be frightened?

All of that isn't "comic bookie" because in the comics he murders for almost no reason, he'll cause harm and chaos for the same. He's not some over the top character as portrayed by Nicholson, but I also give blame to the writer as well.

If the Joker is not scarry and ruthless than that's not the character and you missed the point.

no way batman begins was better than the Keaton Batman. you dont know what your talkin about AM.

lets bring back Jim Carrey for the riddler for the next movie :lol:

It was and GOD no. Batman Forever is just as much a piece of shit as Batman & Robin

WTF was up with Christian Bale and the deep throat talking???

Think of it as a disguise. Keaton did it too.

exactly. i found it awkward at first but it made sense he'd do that since if he used his real voice he would be recognized easily.

and i'd totally see jim carey do the riddler again. with better material and a better director, he could totally outshiner his prev riddler performance. jim carey is an awesome actor.

Were there people laughing in the theater where you were at? I sure did not hear one single laughter in mine.

I know what you're trying to say - Jack's Joker is not the right Joker, or something along those lines. But the thing is, they are both interpretation of what/who the Joker is. I don't think there's a 'wrong one'.

No, thank God. But I heard from alot of my friends who went to see it that people laughed at almost everything he said or did, which is ridiculous.

God damn, people are stupid. It reasons like that why I only go out and see a movie if it's something I gotta see.

why...I laughed too. The scene that made me crack up the most is

SPOILERS!





when the detonator jams and there he is in his nurse outfit walking around trying to get it to work. That performance was just awesome.

Humor is very subjective. You can't say someone's stupid for that.

well, I laughed twice and it was at that, which WAS actually funny and...


SPOILERS!!!





When he made the pencil disappear, that laughter was pretty much a mixture of awesome and stunned.





END SPOILERS




But like I said to laugh at everything he says even the "How I got these scars" dialogue, wtf? how can you laugh at that? I was mesmerized and disturbed by it.

 

[Snowman]

^^ Sam Jackson shows up and asks Batman to join the Avengers Initiative.

you serious or just being funny. i didnt stay til the very end of the credits. im sure there will be tons of deleted scenes for the DVD.

just thought you would see somethin like Two face eyes open, or the joker runnin in the shadows and you would hear the laugh

THAT was freaking funny.

I just seen it again, damn this shits good.

 

[Shadows]

The charisma the Joker had was insane.

I just love how he carried himself, and how the pitches in his voice dragged some words to add more spark to what he was saying. it just seemed so natural and not acted.

overall, i give the movie a 9.9/10


I wonder who they will have in the 3rd one.

i heard some people mention Johnny Depp as the Riddler.

if he is REALLY focused, he is VERY capable of pulling something like the Joker off.

I mean, in pirates of the carribean, he made Jack Sparrow VERY Unique.

Just mix it is with his Sweeny Todd type of stuff and he would be awesome!

EDIT: I have to admit that the Joker actually creeped me out...like scared me creeped me out in a scene or two.

that has never happened to me, and i see A Lot of twisted movies.

 

[Pain Of Depth]

I was expecting there to be at least one leak already

I can't wait to see the movie

 

[Casey]

It comes out here today. I'll probably go on Sunday.

 

[ChrisZimbo]

IMDb Top 250

Wow!!

 

[S O F I]

Yeah it was at 9.7 at one point when it had around 65,000 votes. I'm expecting it to go below Godfather in the upcoming months.

 

[Snowman]

now that wouldnt be bad.

Johnny Depp as the joker. he could pull it off like shadows said.
