Cosmo Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 There is a right answer and it's not Heath Ledger.It was Cesar Romero.NOPE.Mark Hammill.Mark Hammil was amazing. He changed everything. Every joker after him was inspired by his take. Comes a very close second to Heath, IMO.It was good to have him back one last time for the Arkham games. Never played any of those games. My brother has and says they're really good. Wanted to see how he pulled Joker off this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tat2d1 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jack Nicholson was Jack Nicholson in Batman. I think Ledger's performance is head and shoulders above everyone else's. And if you don't agree, please try and convince me.THIS^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appetite4illusions Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Batman (1989) is probably the most seminal movie of my childhood. I wore two VHS tapes out on that film. I'm obviously predisposed to say that Jack will always be the Joker to me, but what Heath did was brilliant in its own nuanced way. I remember reading one film reviewer and they hit it on the head for me when they said the secret to Heath Ledger's performance was that he wasn't playing the Joker, he was playing the Devil.

appetite4illusions Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Trust is a really good song."Trust" is modeled on one of Prince's best songs, "Baby I'm A Star", because Tim Burton demanded that the parade scene feature that song, or an original Prince song just like it.Same thing goes for "Partyman." That scene featured "1999" in an early cut and Burton again wanted an original tune that evoked the same sound.Probably why those two were really the only featured Prince songs in the movie, even when Warner Brothers had him write the whole soundtrack.

Graeme Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Kiss From A Rose by Seal and Deranged by Coheed and Cambria are the two best Batman tie-in songs.Oh, and Heath. I don't think it's possible to overrate that performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Kiss From A Rose by Seal and Deranged by Coheed and Cambria are the two best Batman tie-in songs.Gotta give props to Kenny Wayne Shepperd for his work on the Batman Beyond movie.Also, Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill me is probably one of my favorite U2 songs.
