Crispin would be too stilted for Joker's manic phases. I don't think he knows how to say more than 15 words per minute.

Willem Defoe supposedly was considered by Tim Burton before he went with Nicholson, still wouldn't mind seeing him in the role.

Robin Williams would be a terrible Joker - I can see people actually walking out of the cinema.
OK, thanks - I'd never heard of him. I thought that Joe might have got mixed up with Tim Curry, or Jim Carrey, who played The Riddler.
So in that case, Tim Curry - back when he was thinner.

who said an actor can only star in one nerd franchise? if Patrick Stewart, Hugo Weaving and Ian McKellan can do it, why not Dafoe?

1: Tim Curry 2: Richard E Grant 3: Jack Lemmon 4: John Malkovich maybe as an older Joker 5: and an off the wall suggestion, Keith Richards

no Brits
― Shakey Mo Collier, Monday, 29 October 2007 19:28 (eighteen years ago)
Malkovich is only a couple years older than Nicholson was when he took the role, fwiw.
― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 29 October 2007 19:31 (eighteen years ago)
Why would you want old Joker when he's just getting out of Arkham IIRC in next movie?
― Abbott, Monday, 29 October 2007 19:32 (eighteen years ago)
Well not for the next movie, because the Joker's going to be much younger in that. But in a hypothetical Batman movie I was thinking that Malkovich would give a different kind of performance as a middle aged Joker, compared to Jack Nicholson's version.
― snoball, Monday, 29 October 2007 19:40 (eighteen years ago)
Richard Widmark, people!

Widmark is a good choice
― Joe, Monday, 29 October 2007 20:23 (eighteen years ago)
So is Katie Holmes
michael keaton would be a great choice!
typically weird or sinister actors tho is just boring

I was gonna be all "fuck you, slocki, you know crispin glover would rule" but I saw him give an eerily hinged role in this awful straight-to-DVD movie Drop Dead Sexy and have no guarantee that he would bring the noise.
― da croupier, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 00:54 (eighteen years ago)
but as long as they had the hair, facepaint and grin, I'd watch any actor play the Joker

I think David Gest would be a perfect choice. So much money saved on make-up. He looks like a campy Jack Nicholson.

I think Jackie Chan would be great, as long as he stuck to his usual persona (versus actually trying to act the Bad Guy, which would suck), that would be pretty f'ed.
