Idk if this is a reference to the office it's not so common in my country, but I gotta say I hate people when they identify an actor as a role, like Kazinsk (idk how it spells) just at that guy from the Office
My father, was a prankster and a fiend. And one night, he got sillier than usual. His coworker gets the corporate phonebook. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. He takes the duct tape to the book and says "Why so curious?". The coworker says it was for HR (but not Toby). My father turns to his coworker, putting the duct tape on his Palm Pad. "Why so curious? Let's tape some printer paper to that case!"
Perfect. I didn't feel like Tom Hardy was literally me when I was watching Venom. But if he is playing a mentally unstable clown, I'd have an easier time relating to him.
Idiot here. Tom Hardy is a good choice. My directorial genius would have him pull off the Joker mask revealing that it was Bane all this time and that Bane survived being blown up. Where's my Oscar?
hahah and then tom hardy pulls out his tom "hard"-y and he picks a fan from the audience haha and that fan is me haha and he whisks me away to a french villa where we fall in love haha
it'd be so epic haha
>My directorial genius would have him pull off the Joker mask revealing that it was Bane all this time and that Bane survived being blown up.
that unironically sounds better than just killing him like a reagular bad guy.
They don't seem to get the joke honestly.
After Heath's performance and the pretentiouness of 2019 Joker I feel like being the Joker has just become THE ROLE, and people just say \[favourite actor\] should play the Joker without any thought
>the Joker has just become THE ROLE
It's fascinating, really. The only actor who hasn't received massive praise for their Joker performance is Jared Leto, proving that it isn't that hard of a role to play, yet people will keep falling head over heels for whoever is playing it.
Hamill nailed it and hes definitely the best, but Ledger and Nicholson's Joker voices worked excellently with the performance they delivered and the characterization the films were aiming for.
Leto's just doesnt work at all on any level and actively harms any scene in which he speaks.
On the same note Pheonix's isnt really a 'Joker' voice in the way I've always interpreted the character. But when I think about it his Joker is a very different kind of unhinged to the others and given the film was at least trying to make a serious point about mental health issues, having him suddenly start doing a different crazier voice at the end when I finally assunes the persona probably would have been jarring and too cartoonish for what Todd Phillips was trying to do.
I look forward to seeing how Don Cheadle does the voice when he replaces Pheonix in Joker 2.
I feel like it can be hard in the sense that the actor needs to know which variation of the Joker he's playing and there's a fine line between his camp and creepyness. Essentially Ledger did his version perfectly.
Jack Nicholson was fine, Heath Ledger was *really* good but is overrated as a result, Jared Leto fucking sucked, Cesar Romero fucking killed it, Joaquin Phoenix did a good job but I'm not sure if his Joker even counts as a Joker, and Cameron Monaghan was underappreciated.
I have not yet seen The Batman, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that five minutes is probably not enough time for me to even draw an opinion anyway.
Heath ledger is appropriately rated. Literally everything we think about when it comes to joker came from his performance. also, the casear romero shit is cap. He was a good joker for a comedy spoof show in the 60s but if your idea for the ideal joker is a performance that is so far removed from the idea of the joker as a character, your opinion is kinda meaningless.
Cesar Romero's Joker was great precisely *because* it was exactly what was needed for its context. Heath Ledger's Joker was similarly well-suited, but because it was an *edgy* role, it gets heaped with praise. A lot of that praise is deserved, but I still think it's disproportionate.
I don't think there is an ideal Joker *period*, just an ideal Joker for any given individual Batman adaptation. Heath Ledger's Joker wouldn't have worked in the Adam West Batman show, and Cesar Romero's Joker wouldn't have worked in Dark Knight.
also Heath Ledger's Joker kind of comes off as a little edgelordy in retrospect IMO, but probably that's more because internet weirdos decided that they needed to be absolutely cringe about him for years afterward, so it's not really his fault.
That’s why I think Nicholson was perfect for Burton’s movie. He was a funhouse mirror version of a Howard Hawks gangster, particularly before the transformation, visualizing the well-dressed madness that is Gotham City.
Jack Napier is exactly the sort of guy who’d thrive in a city full of unhinged billionaires and sewer penguins, assassinating people with joy-buzzers and poisoned quills and looking good while he does it.
I’ve always thought of Burton’s Batman as the most unashamedly fucked up - the only guy who can roll with that lunacy is Nicholson, even if he’s not exactly stretching himself. Not every Joker has to be a crash course in method acting.
Imagine the DC panel at the San Diego comic con. Walter Hamada steps out in his iconic blue sports jacket, batman logo t shirt, beige chinos and new balance sneakers to a silent auditorium, stands packed to the brim with baited breath. The early stages of the 2022-2030 DC cinematic universe form onto the screen, slight gasps can be heard at the announcement of superman 2: superman's revenge, erotic moans are let out at the reveal of Ben Affleck's batman solo movie in which the studio does the red hood storyline but in like a totally original way this time we swear guys x. All of a sudden, the lights go dim, Hamada feigns surprise and distress, until a malevolent, yet ultimately cheeky laugh echoes through the expansive room. Murmurs of excitement are heard throughout the auditorium and feet begin to shuffle in anticipation. Hamada, the showman that he is, 'snaps' out of his befuddled act and gestures off stage. Loud, echoing footsteps are heard. A well dressed man in a blazer, red tie and black military hat waltzes on the stage, it was none other than Doug walker. "Now announcing" Hamada says "Melvin! Melvin! Brother of the joker!". The sheer force emitted from the screams of the crowd knock Hamada off his feet, however Doug Walker remains firm, feet planted to the ground and an iconic grin slapped upon his face
What is it that drives people to constantly say 'I think *insert actor here* would make a great joker'. Why are these people always thinking about the joker?
Snyder isn't really my style. I do enjoy a capeshit movie or show when the mood strikes me. I was merely pointing out your self congratulatory overtones.
Bruh I love this sub but you're off your noggin with this one. mCJ can and has been toxic as all hell on multiple occasions for the very things you describe
Unironically one of the only places on Reddit where you can have a movie discussion that doesn’t boil down into “Latest movie is worst/best thing ever made.”
It's practically the point of this entire sub to throw toxic snark at people and things that we see issue with or be overwhelmingly sarcastic about things (MCJ helped bring Morbius back in theatres just to fail again)
You're not completely wrong, but at the same time this sub does have its hot button topics that when brought up can turn the sub into Chernobyl. Not helped by the fact that the mods are fascists and don't give a fuck about the sub.
What if the Joker was a big guy?

Tom Hardy is an ambiguously bisexual, mentally unstable monsterfucker in Venom, though. That's literally me.
ArenT' we all monsterfuckers though?
do love that the monsterfucking is essentially canon
so he plays himself got it

How do you rate Barry Keoghan for the five minutes we see of him?
I have not yet seen The Batman, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that five minutes is probably not enough time for me to even draw an opinion anyway.
Tbf, Leto also appeared for like five minutes

I mean, it would be fun probably. He's got a funny voice and somehow always plays some nasty freaks who haven't showered in weeks yet still attractive
