While dancing to Prince....

Nicholson really came off as a violent crazy killer. You never knew when he was gonna kill someone or just make a joke and walk away.

Ledger's Joker was just an obnoxious anarchist/wanna be terrorist. He behaved as more of a sidekick to Nicholson's Joker.

The only good thing to come out of Burton's Batman was the Danny Elfman theme and that was used in the best Batman adaptation ever - The Animated Series.
 
I'm bailing out of this Burton splooge fest.

He certainly didn't age well for me, just goofy and not as menacing when I watched it recently. A lot of his lines were just dumb. Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light? LMAO.

I love Batman Begins and TDKR. TDK is good only because of Aaron Eckhart (THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE!) and Gary Oldman.

But Ledger's Joker was a wimp. Nicholson's Joker would have Ledger Joker dead in two seconds while Ledger was hiding in a closet trying to come up with some dumb plan that wouldn't ever work out.
 
Ledger Joker got put in jail for the rest of his life and the only thing he accomplished was getting rid of crime almost completely in Gotham for 8 years.

He emotionally destroyed Batman for 8 years not to mention Harvey Dent's change was all because of him. Basically taking down two pillars of society.
 
Haha, this thread. Burton's Batman was cool at the time, but compared to the Nolan Batmans it's a cartoon today. Burton Batman : Nolan Batman :: Adam West Batman : Burton Batman

The funny thing is that back in '89 there was all this hand-wringing about how dark and violent and scary Burton's Batman was, and if you watch it now it practically seems like a comedy.

He made a boy cry because he lost his girlfriend.

He changed Harvey Dent, but only two people knew about it.

All this lead to Joker completely obliterating crime in Gotham City. No wonder Batman wasn't needed, the villains seem to be the ones that rid the city of crime in Nolan's universe.

Dark Knight works better as a movie if you think of it as a sequel to batman '89 with Ledger joker as a copycat killer trying to follow in Nicholsons footsteps
 
I'd love to see all the previous Batman actors make cameo appearances of some sort in the reboot.

Like Keaton, West, and Bale sitting at a table in the background or something.
 
TDKR isn't even done being in theaters and it still has yet to be released in China. You fucking guys.

Plus, Burton's Batman fucking sucks.

Oh hey, here's the Joker spray painting a museum while listening to hip-hop. Oh there, look at all those menacing penguins with rockets on their backs. Menacing. Genius. /rolleyes

Bravo.

Burton's Batman is a terrible movie.

How the heck do you even say that you never knew when Nicholson's Joker would kill someone but not Ledger's? Ledger's puts bombs in people's heads, then doesn't blow them up, then turns around and kills a man with a pencil. If you want to complain, whatever, but COME ON.
 
Are people really shitting on Nolan Batman??? Jesus fucking christ pretty soon they'll be saying some stupid shit like "60z Batman haz more stylez than Nolanz shiet boatmen.....Bale sux0rs"
