If anyone on this planet thinks they can do a better job than Heath be my guest..but i say HELL NO.

I don't want to see his work getting ruined by some other actor trying to match what he did..that's impossible.

Yes

of course what are they going to do milk all the other villians as much as they can. penguin, riddler and scarecrow have only had 1 movie. but scarecrows was recent so the next would be cool if it was the riddler for the next movie. not some wierd proffesser like carrey played. but they would have to make the villians more sichopathic like ledger did not obveous costumes.

Yes its true that the joker still was alive in TDK but honestly who can even come close to Heath's performance. The Joker would have a different voice, a different look, and a different attitude in the movie. I don't think that very many people will be satisfied when a new joker is picked, it will just be a let down from what they have seen. No one can replace Heath's Joker and no one can come close to how great he was at playing the Joker.

Ok then. Nobody should play the Joker in future Nolan Batman films but if they were to say in 10 years make a different series of Batman films as a different conttinuality you do realize the Joker NEEDS to be re-casted don't you?

Not unless they did yet another string of batman movies with an entirely new cast as it was.

Yes

of course, dont be stupid. heath ledger spent a month locked up in a hotel room reading batman comics... i think he would feel ashamed if he deprived the world from the joker

No

I just believe that it would be extremely difficult to find someone who would be willing to immerse themselves into the character to the extent that he did... Perhaps there are some willing, but can they live up to this performance?

Actually... I've got an idea... They should create an amazingly realistic CG Joker modeled off of Heath's, insert an AI personality based off of his performance, and poof! We have el Joker de awesome! (Just some wishful thinking. They probably wouldn't, but... It would be amazing...)

reply
cheese to Cara 2008/08/18 13:18:42

The CGI thing has actually been concidered but only for small appearances. There is no way they could pull that off for a whole movie as the main villain.

It'll be hard to follow Heath Ledger but it has to be done.

Although it's going to be hard to top or even amount to Heath's performance, the Joker is a large necessity to Batman

Well let me put it this way, they will be criticised left and right.Compared to Heath and then bashed on the little differences. If the Joker is intended to be in the other movies then I feel they should be careful on who they pick as the actor. It would be fine to re-cast, it's not disrespectful to Heath at all. Heath played a character that was originally played by Jack so it's not his and his alone. He did do a magnificent job but if the need for Joker arises then by all means re-cast.

Absolutely.

As said as it is that Ledger is gone the Joker has to go on. Yes it will be hard to replace Ledger's amazing performance. I would hate to be the casting director for the new Batman.

Joker27 2008/08/14 02:14:05

It would be disrespectful to Heath to even think of replacing him. The Joker ends here. Bottom line. Maybe The Riddler but no more Joker. R.I.P. Heath

The Joker is so important to the Batman storyline, it would be criminal to forget him.

I agree with ghg and DinoLord.

they should should just bring another villian into the movies heath was way too good for anyone else to try and play the joker.

reply
cheese to Kristen 2008/08/18 13:21:27

Eventually the Joker will need to return whether or not he returns in a future Batman TV series or in a new string of Batman movies the Joker MUST come back.

reply
NuuuuXD 2008/08/13 20:44:16

Yes

Sadly, I wish Heath was still alive but they are gonna have to.
What if Bale died just befor they were about to begin shooting a BAt MAn movie.
They would need to finad another actor .....
Same with Joker

RIP
Heath

K Sust 2008/08/13 17:26:29

Well the Dark Knight was just a starter for the Joker. They set up how he should/ will meet Harley Quinn at Arkum. Just because Heath did the best Joker so far dosent meen they should kick him out! I bet Heath himself would want them to use him agen. There are good acters out there who could do it, Beside The Joker is the MAIN villian they cant be like Spider Man 3 and just kill the MAIN villian before hes used That would be a discrace to Batman. If the Joker isnt in the next one then they shouldent even bother makeing another one

sure they can recast someone but no one will ever be as amazing as Heath Ledger was as The Joker!

reply
KEENEY 2008/08/13 07:45:09

Yes

yes but they need to make him look the same with no changes
just because he was the best joker ever
doesnt mean someone else can do better
but if he looks the same with no changes then i think they could pull it of
