Misc. Burton / Re: Nicholson Joker Appreciati...
Last post by thecolorsblend - Sun, 27 Oct 2024, 03:37Because of Hamill (to whatever degree), Ledger, Phoenix and Leto (to whatever degree), something that These Dang Kids today seem to be forgetting is how big a deal Nicholson playing the Joker was back in the day.
But a tremendous part of B89's success owes back to the casting announcement of Nicholson playing the Joker. That single element alone gave the film a LOT of mystique and interest.
It's safe to say that the hype around B89 would've been greatly diminished (or maybe even completely eliminated) if Nicholson hadn't been involved in the film.
For as good as Ledger might've been, he still had to prove himself in the role. In the early days, he had skeptics and doubters.
But literally nobody questioned Nicholson's ability to play the character. Which says something, I think.

Misc. Burton / Re: Nicholson Joker Appreciati...
Last post by The Dark Knight - Sat, 26 Oct 2024, 01:55After all these years I would seriously still say Nicholson is my number one guy as the Joker. He provides a package that resembles my type of comics while retaining the required darkness. An aspect of B89 I like is how we get a glimpse into Jack's psyche after the transformation. He speaks about the trauma of falling into the chemicals and crying inside. His former self is still buried under there, providing depth, but it's not dwelt on. He's a brand new person who knows who he was and what happened, but moved on and embraced insanity. He's in character too much now for it to hurt him. For a one movie performance they packed a lot in there and a lot of it's right.

Also Hugo is supposed to be the guy Joker talks to during the scene at Axis where Joker shouts "Have you shipped a million of those things!" Hugo is the scientist to shouts back "Yes, sir!"
LOL! I find this hilarious for some reason.
Alfred Pennyworth. Not just a butler. He's also ahead of the curve.

Comic Film & TV / Re: X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)
Last post by The Joker - Sat, 26 Oct 2024, 00:32X-Men casting just prior to filming. Evidently, this was the last time Dougray Scott would be associated with the role, as Hugh Jackman was soon after called upon as the replacement for Wolverine.

The Batman (2022) / Re: The Penguin (2024)
Last post by The Dark Knight - Fri, 25 Oct 2024, 11:51The thought occurred to me they're laying the groundwork/justification for Robin. I don't think it will literally be Vic, though. I'm not even sure he'll survive the series.

Comic Film & TV / Re: Blade (MCU)
Last post by Silver Nemesis - Fri, 25 Oct 2024, 10:38It seems Marvel has dropped the troubled Blade reboot from their release schedule.
Meanwhile the real Blade returned earlier this year and grossed over a billion dollars.
Snipes's Blade is arguably the most iconic and definitive iteration of the character. Even more so than the original Tomb of Dracula version. The modern comic book Blade and every subsequent screen version have been modelled on him. They should just make a Midnight Sons movie with Snipes leading the team. It's not rocket science.

The Batman (2022) / Re: The Penguin (2024)
Last post by Travesty - Thu, 24 Oct 2024, 20:48So, does anyone else think that Victor will become the new Robin in this universe?
