The film was directed by Tim Burton and stars Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton, Kim Basinger, Robert Wuhl, Pat Hingle, Billy Dee Williams, Michael Gough, and Jack Palance. The film takes place early in the title character's war on crime, and depicts his conflict with the Joker.

I love that The Joker tells Bob to spare the one painting, which I looked up just now and see it’s Figure with Meat by Francis Bacon. The man’s face is stark white and clothing shaded purple, Joker obviously sees a bit of himself in it and kindly tells Bob to leave it. Very nice touch.

@SeasideDetective2 2 года назад

Now THAT was a happy coincidence! I've always noticed that white faces are a recurring visual motif in this movie. Not just the Joker himself, the henchmen painted as mimes, some of the Smylex victims, and the gigantic clown balloon, but the photos of pale-skinned models seen on the wall when Jack Napier is introduced, as well as Alicia's porcelain death mask and the painting you pointed out. Very Tim Burton-ish, without being too on the nose.

Interesting trivia: Tim Curry gets residuals from this movie. Originally they asked Jack to play Joker and he didn’t seem like he was going to say yes so they asked Tim and basically said “hey if he says no, can you be our Joker?” and to sweeten the pot they offered him residuals even if he didn’t get cast. Meaning not once but TWICE we almost got Tim Curry as the Joker

@LestatandBerial Год назад

No, everyone knows Robin Williams was the one who was asked to do Joker after Nickelson turned it down. He was offered the role, accepted, and then learned he was only being used as a lure to get Jack into the role. He didn’t work with WB for a while because of it, even turning down the Riddler in Batman Forever.

@heavycritic9554 2 года назад

I love the scene where Joker kills Bob. Up until that moment, Joker has been acting over-the-top crazy and random, but in that single action he shows how completely devoid of any actual emotions he really is. Bob is nothing to him. It doesn't matter that Bob is Joker's most loyal henchman, who does exactly everything he's told. When Joker feels like killing him, he kills him; instantly. Zero hesitation. It's both a pretty funny scene and an intensely creepy one, once you take the time to process what happened.

Ex-fucking-scuse me!? Have you not heard Dead Man's Party? Oingo Boingo's most commercially successful song has far more depth than any movie score *awkwardly pushes glasses up nose with a snort and continues in a nasally voice* If you can even challenge yourself to dive deeper into their discography you'll find that they have songs of such subtle grace that it takes several re-hearing's to fully understand. They capture the everyday grind with the song "Another Day" with a pure understanding of those beaten down by corporate existence and a gentle dignity for those who must endure this rat race. Oh no, I'm starting to sound like Patrick Bateman. Anyway, American Psycho is the only movie with the balls to have Batman kill The Joker, and Bateman-Batman? C'mon, the casting is obvious.

This movie also has my favorite "I'm too cool" scene ever: When Alicia (Grissom 's girlfriend) tells Jack Napier he looks good. The way he turns and looks at her before saying "I didn't ask" to me is like the ultimate "I'm confident cool" bit of acting ever.

@SeasideDetective2 2 года назад

Even better is just afterward, when he glares at Alicia's hand on his shoulder and she sheepishly pulls it away. I admire the way this movie (somewhat) tried to make the Joker less of a cartoon character, despite the fact that he literally IS a cartoon character. The Jack Napier incarnation seems all the more terrifying for being less of an "evil clown" stereotype and more of a normal guy who happens to look like a clown. That's a wonderfully understated bit of realism. Real-life psychopaths are usually "normal guys," or at least can pass for being normal; they are often handsome and charming, too. So, in a way, a Joker who comes off less like a clown and more like an evil Han Solo makes a lot of sense to me.

Honestly I really liked Pattinson's consumed focus portrayal of a younger Bruce Wayne. I didn't think I would but he does feel very real as a broken man putting himself together through his experiences as Batman, learning what Batman is and needs to be and realizing that he as Bruce Wayne needs to save Gotham as both his personas not just as Batman. Hopefully if they make more with him they'll explore his attempts to be Bruce Wayne more because admittedly Pattinson was almost entirely portraying a Batman consumed by his vigilantism.

The music, the weirdness, the darkness, ..it's just SOOOO GOOOOD. I loved Keaton as Batman, and loved Nicholson as the joker. Keaton is an amazing actor. He played Beetlejuice, and people thought he couldn't pull off Batman? The man is a legend. Same with Nicholson. I can't say enough about those 2. Keaton was highly underrated. Last thing... Tim Burton brought his weird, magical wonder to this movie, and it came to life, in the best possible way. LOVE it.

Throw It In: -When exploring Wayne Manor with Vicki, Knox (Robert Wuhl) ad-libbed the jokes aimed at Bruce's decorative collection of odd-looking armour. -After the Board to Death meeting when the Joker tells Bob to tail Knox, Jack Nicholson ad-libbed his Grissom impression (complete with Jack Palance's breathy voice). -Jack Nicholson revealed in an interview that the strange dance the Joker does when he exits Vicki Vale's apartment (when he raises his arms, blows a raspberry, and runs off) was something called the "bird dance" which he improvised during the take. He took it from a friend of his, the late actor Clegg Hoyt. -Michael Keaton came up with the famous "I'm Batman" line - in the script it was "I am the (K)night". -Keaton was also the one who decided that Batman didn't turn his head. This was because the cowl wasn't fitted to his head quite right and bowed outwards when he turned his head.

This is why I love this movie. It's dark, but it feels more like a comic book.

Hell, Marvel comics look more cinematic than... well, comics because of their overexploitation with the MCU.

@montithered4741 2 года назад

I completely agree. Even in the darker and more serious Batman comics, it’s still a COMIC book, emphasizing a quirky, off balance, caricature of reality. After all, DC is a world of magic, AI, robots, aliens, ghosts, immortals, etc.
