    Actually, Heath had a huge part in the creation of that particular movie's Joker. He and Nolan had been discussing it since long before they started filming.

    Right, which means it was Part of the script. And even so, he was more crazy than evil. He gave people chances to live. Burton's joker didnt. I remember watching this movie the other day and thinking how violent it was.

    well how come Nicholson's Joker allowed Vicky Vale(Basinger) to live if he was so evil?

    He liked her. When she turned on him he tried to kill her. Batman saved her. Then he tried to kill them both while they were hanging from the roof of the church.

    Yup Jacks Joker was pure evil. :lol:

    When I think of evil movie villains, I think of characters that scare me like John Doe, Colonel Hans Landa, Messala, etc.

    Jack's Joker first killed his former boss (Jack Palance) then proceed to gather all the mafia bosses and have them all killed (off camera) right after he joyfully fried the mafioso Antwon with a handshake. The little speech to the fried corpse was pure psychotic; the whole scene was disturbing for a 1989 PG movie.

    Thank you for remembering. It was a disturbing scene. Yeah he killed his former boss. He didnt just kill him, he empties his gun into him and danced while doing it. He was a sick asshole.

    but it isn't really in a realistic universe, so it doesn't add up to as much - killing people in some stylised gothic/1950s comic-book world doesn't really carry as much weight. nolan clearly pitches the dark knight in a more realistic universe, in the setting, the characters, and the bone-crunching violence, so when heath ledger does bad shit it has a bit more of a nasty punch. i remember when the people in 'batman' are being gassed in the streets, they ham it up like they're in a musical, clutching at their throats, really camp. bale beating the shit out of ledger in the interrogation scene is darker than that.

    saying that, i completely agree, nicholson's joker was fantastic and sinister in its own way. i probably rate the batman movies:

    batman
    dark knight
    batman returns/batman begins
    forever
    robin

    the dark knight has some fantastic elements to it, but the movie as a whole is just too bloody protracted, and what the hell is the point of the bale/batman character? dopesn't really inspire any real emotional investment i reckon.

    for people who just say they like nolan's batman because "it's darker!", fine, go enjoy your My Chemical Romance albums.

    I dont get the point of Batman's character as well. Gotham has gotten consistently worse since Nolan's batman appeared. What is the point?

    I agree with Rooster. Jack's joker just didn't seem to come from a realistic universe whereas Ledger's did. I mostly laughed at the stuff Jack did, because it was so far from reality. When Ledger puts the knife in that guys mouth I was practically squirming. I think both performances were great but from a directors standpoint Jack's joker was obviously meant to be a comedic relief as well as a villian, Ledger's not so much.

    No Hanz, no.
    It definately appeals to a very different audience and, ahem, :rolleyes: specific individuals, as we've seen.

    yeh it's a pretty shitty movie..and cheesey too

    which characters are actually cool aside from the Hulk? Thor is a fag, Captain America is a fag, Iron Man is a cunt plus stupid and unrealistic, that bow and arrow guy and girl are shitty and basically regular ppl taken from the street
    there's a reason that all their individual movies sucked balls


    wtf is this avengers crap

    Agreed.
    The Incredible Hulk and The Mighty Thor - it should just be them smashing fuck out of each other.

    Yeah, pretty much the only worthwhile character in the whole movie was a CGI actor. The movie should have just been Hulk smashing the shit out of everyone and Black Widow having l-esbian s-ex.

    I don't think superhero movies are your thing, Roll.:lol: All these movies made massive bank. It was inevitable that Avengers was going to be a major hit when combining all the superheroes into 1 film.
