armubaba said:Insane amounts of crow-eating in this thread. Holy crap.
To be fair though, I don't think anybody saw a performance of this caliber coming from Heath. He really took the role and made it something amazing.
....isn't this a GAF opinion?TrueReligion said:This thread is living testament that GAF's opinion is pure shit.
Lebron said:it's amazing how totally off base all the Heath as Joker mock ups were before the big unveiling. Trust in Nolan indeed.
Zeliard said:The Joker's grungy look and demeanor should be fully attributed to Heath Ledger. He's the one who came up with it.
It was already said that Ledger walked in with a cheap make-up kit and showed everyone what he thought the Joker should look like, then TDK's make-up artists re-created it for shooting.jett said:His demeanor yes, but the look itself? I doubt it.

I was a believer. Day one. The internet brings out that voice in many people that has to react in a "WTFOMGBBQ!#?" attitude to keep their "bro" points or something of that nature.Skiptastic said:Let me put it to you guys this way. Everyone won in the end. The people who believed got to see the others proven wrong. The people who didn't believe got one of the most amazing character performances put to film. Nolan proved he could be trusted. And Ledger proved that he was truly an actor who could portray any role, if Brokeback Mountain didn't prove that to you already.
It truly is disheartening, though, because it's true that he didn't have any experience in this realm before, so his turn in The Dark Knight would have given everyone pause to say, "Who cares if he hasn't had a role like this before, the guy can act, give him this script!" He would have had the pick of the litter when it came to roles. He could have been bigger than any of us would have imagined from the guy who played Mel Gibson's son in The Patriot (at least I would have imagined).
The fact that I have now gone a week since first seeing it and still can't get his performance out of my head is a testament to Heath. RIP.
Love To Love You Baby said:Even though he was a "pretty boy" in Brokeback Mountain (I mean, who gives a fuck what he was a "pretty boy" in - not that I agree entirely with that term with his role in that movie), his role showed his ability to transform. I mean, I get it, people around here are more impressed with comic book films than gay cowboy films, but even if I had some issues with the film, it certainly showed his "true" ability as an actor.
Shinobi said:What's even funnier is how Nicholson's Joker has basically been turned into a footnote. :lol
BootlegSnackz said:I think maybe that depends on what kind of Batman Universe or more relevantly, what Joker Character you prefer... Campy or Dark? If you were a fan of the TV show, you could basically say that Nicholson bested Ceasar Romero's Joker and perfected the roll. If you were looking for a darker Batman, then you would definitely say that Heath owns the character.
My Mom hasn't yet seen TDK, but she has seen BB and still thinks that Batman 89 is the best Batman movie.
To be honest though, the mainstream never really knew Batman as a remotely dark character until Batman 89 or until Batman: TAS brought to the mainstream his origins and his dealing with his parents being dead. You never saw that in West's Batman.
But how could a character who is a vigilante because his parents were murdered in front of him not be dark? I prefer this realistic Nolanverse to any other Batman on TV, although, TAS comes closest and is a great show, probably the best representation of the character. If I didn't yearn to see it in live action, especially since they had to bring down the violence level in what would mainly be marketed as a kids show, the cartoon universe would be the best one.
That's my $0.02
Fail bump.
Bloody well better not be. He sucks!
Reading this thread you can feel like you'll drop dead at the reactions.
