Who would make the best Joker? - Multiple Choice Thread

[Deleted]

Why is John Cleese on the list? Seriously.. hes like 200 years old..

[Doctor Amadeus]

William Dafoe is the only one I even think has a chance.

Williams great but not for this.


1. Age, yeah, yeah I know Jack Nicholson, but Williams Interpretation now would run flat compared to Heath.
2. He already played Green Goblin. Weak, but aside from Ryan Reynolds and Chris Evans, who are much younger, I can't imagine William doing the same thing with Joker.

Because the person who wrote the poll it was more about fantasy casting than, who would really be a good choice based on likely probability.

But hes like really old? You cant seriously expect him to play the Joker? Hed be more like.. "errooooo braaaaains". At this point.

[Logwyn]

Heath Ledger

Agreed.

Jim Carry... You have to be freaking Joking....

No No NO you are correct he is old you are right, which is why I said the list on here wasn't considered very carefully in regards to likely contenders. I mean Daniel Day Lewis is my all time favorite, but he wouldn't be on here either, unless or except a few notable exceptions.

Am I the only one who really liked Jared Leto as Joker though?

How could you like or dislike him, I mean he was in the film for 5 minutes. I don't think that is enough time to really say either way. He didn't blow me away, and he wasn't impressive.

I would watch more if he was in another film and it was written right, and looked promising in trailers.

[Shadowferal]

I thought Leto as the Joker was some joke being played upon the audience.

[Spiffums]

You can't have someone who was a villain in a batman movie already be a different villain in a batman movie........

[Schattenlied]

We already had the best Joker, it was and forever will be Heath Ledger.


Mark Hamill for animated stuff.

Have to agree with you there but I did like him in the Suicide Squad. I mean I might be biased but he pulled that "crazy but smart" off really well.

No Rules haha, nothing wrong with being biased, as such non wrong with the list, I mean it isn't that serious, sometimes people just want to have fun. However if joker is supposed to be as good as Heath as a template, those are HUGE shoes to fill (As a bit overrated because of his death) as are some of his animated voice over interpretations.

[Queen of Hamsters]

Cristoph Waltz would probably redefine the role.

The others? Eh, couldn't see any of them as the Joker.

[Feral Camel]

I think John Lithgow would have been an interesting choice. Apparently he was offered the role twice and turned it down. His always had great comedic time... and he can play a psychopath.

A few years ago I'd of loved to of see Alan Tudyk have a shot at the role. He was great as Alpha in Dollhouse and his not a house hold name which I think would help.
