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.

He looks more like a supervillian

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.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

12 million is hardly massive.

12 million tickets, not dollars.
12 million tickets is a fucking lot.

 

[DrForester]

I love the episode where he's playing baseball in jail.

That was actually his first appearance on the show.

 

[ferr]

Great. Still has this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tgxIWgJ_DE

 

[The Mana Legend]

He got killed... the end.

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.

Sure, but that doesn't mean their situations are really comparable.

 

[Fivefold]

Good movie sells more tickets than bad movie. News at 11.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

He got killed... the end.

Only because he went up against the awesomer Batman. Ledger Joker would have died if he'd gone against Keaton Batman too.

Depends on what you are comparing.

Why is a Ninja Turtle hugging Batman?

 

[Quackula]

Why does it make me think of the Ninja Turtles movies?

 

[Matrix]

I'm bailing out of this Burton splooge fest.

 

[ferr]

Why is a Ninja Turtle hugging Batman?

Why is George Clooney dressed up as Batman? George fucking Clooney.

 

[BadAss2961]

Can't we like both Nolanbats AND Burtman, GAF? MUST we be forced to pick sides in everything?!

Was gonna post this... I grew up on the Burton movies, and love the new trilogy. Don't know wtf is wrong with GAF lol.

 

[Zeal]

Well Batman 89 is better than TDKR so it makes more sense really

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.

Nothing wrong with Adam West's Batman!

Time to post pics from Batman Forever

 

[The Mana Legend]

I'm bailing out of this Burton splooge fest.

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.

Pfffft. You're all so busy shitting on either Nolan's films, or Burton's when Schumacher's take the bat cake.

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.

 

[Lonely1]

The best film prevailed.

 

[MattKeil]

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.

 

[DMczaf]

Worst Bane Coats ever.

 

[Baconsammy]

I'll take Nolan over Burton any day of the week.

 

[Medalion]

LMAO!!!

 

[The Mana Legend]

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.

 

[ferr]

And this is just wrong

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

60's Batman may be campy, but it's a classic.

 

[Quackula]

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.

 

[Darkgran]

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.

 

[Guzim]

And this is just wrong

Or is it just right?

 

[CorvoSol]

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.

 

[artist]

It says in the same article that TDK sold 12 million more tickets than Batman.

King? More like Prince.

You didnt have to take the OP out and smack his butt red like the monkey ..

Damn.

 

[crimzonflame]

Prince is hip-hop now?

 

[Branduil]

LOL Bane in a hat cracks me up every time.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Ha Ha Ha. And GAF said the Avengers would suck and flop.

It didn't flop but it sucked ass.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Lando Calrissian was a better Harvey Dent than Eckhart

 

[The Mana Legend]

Lando Calrissian was a better Harvey Dent than Eckhart

It's not about what's right. IT'S ABOUT WHAT'S FAIR!!

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

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"

 

[G-Fex]

It didn't flop but it sucked ass.

That's Yamato
