I don't know, I thought he was bad and the character was bad. Other than a laugh, how was he Joker-like at all?Leto is my man crush. I didn't mind him as the Joker. Just not that Joker. The grill and all the tattoos just didn't work. Plus I don't think anyone can live up to Heath Ledger as the Joker. That was just such a performance, it's what everyone is going to compare all portrayals to.
I think the film makers were too intimidated to tell him to play the Joker and not "Jered Leto as the Joker" If that makes sense?
It seems like he saw the modern Emo-Rapper and thought, "What if they were white and giggled?"
Cesar Romero was a great Joker, I think second to Mark Hamill's voice acting. But, he was and different kind of Joker for a different style of media.Neither one of them was Cesar Romero, but Ledger was good. Leto did what he could with the material he was given, but shit is shit no matter how much you polish it.
I'm pretty sure Leto forced his version of Joker through into the movie, and there was talk of him getting a Joker movie of his own before Suicide Squad 1.
I think he even tried to stop the Joaquin Phoenix movie as well. (rumors)
Then, Morbius happened.
Burton and Nicholson's Joker were good, too.You must be registered to see attachmentsYou must be registered to see attachments
Just to be sure (can never tell nowadays) but making sure you've seen the best Batman movies by Burton. Just want to post Catwoman now.
Hell, some people are STILL imitating it.
I doubt you could even tell with the TVs 50 years ago!
Love how Romero was like yeah I'm not shaving.
Anyway I'm off to sleep, Good Night to everyone.
Goodnight!
