Is the Joker really all that complex, though?

Awesome books indeed. While the Joker is the most recognizable and popular Batman villain there are many, many others I would like to see getting some screen time. Mad Hatter would be great IMO. I'm staying spoiler free with the Nolan movie, but I hope we get the Penguin in the next one. Especially if done correctly.

Just watched this movie. It wasn't bad, but yes it could've been shorter.

I only watched half, but it's really good for a fan film.
And everyone blames everything on bad acting.
Well guess what? If the actors say something silly, it's bad scripting. If the actors do anything wrong, it's actually the director's fault about half the time.
Directors do a lot more than sit around and yell "action" every time filming starts. In rehearsals they actually pretty much tell the actors how to act their parts. If there's anything wrong with the acting in rehearsals, then the director is supposed to catch it and tell the actors to do it differently. It's all about the director's vision, and if the director can't tell the difference between engaging dialogue and a robot reading a script, well it's not just the actors' faults for not being good actors, it's the director's fault for not telling them what they were doing is wrong.
I think the script made the dialogue seem like, well, someone reciting a memorized script. Like that part where that investigator lady is talking about how Gotham is sick of Batman, her acting was fine IMO. It was the script that made it sound very unnatural, like a pre-meditated speech.
So the actors aren't great, but the script could use some work, and the director could have been less lazy about letting crappy performances and scripting make it to the final film.
Overall, it seemed very professional, and was better made overall (acting, scripting, directing, and production) than most "Sci-Fi Original" movies on the sci-fi channel...

Nope. I've always wanted to be a director.Some actors really can't act, but a lot of the time the more amateur actors make careless and stupid mistakes that could be corrected with a little hard-assed directing. The words "Good job everybody!" should rarely fly out of a director's mouth unless the director's vision has come to life in perfect detail on screen. Directors need to be stingey, or else they let utter crap slip by. They're supposed to drive everyone to do a perfect job, and tell them how they're going to.
Heres my really long opinion:
I thought it was ok. they definitely tried really hard. I don't really like when ____ is so overly "gritty" or dark like that...it becomes like a huge silly caricature of reality. So you have this cheesy vision off the bat...then actors do their best idea of a dark or crazy character... and it makes this really obvious and not very original or creative film.
One of the most obvious things has to do with how the movie just friggin falls apart when the joker dies. Its perfectly reasonable that the joker would push a little boy to the limit to result in his own death just to ____ with batman from the grave. He is crazy enough to do that, regardless of whether or not he knew what happened to bruce as a child.
Apparently this Batman and Barbelith don't understand joker's mindset. I like in "arkham asylum:a serious house..." the doctor explains that joker is constantly changing from one disorder/identity/overall craziness to another while maintaing his psychotic clown persona...he is unpredictable and that is what makes him dangerous. This is only one writers interpretation of the character. Like batman, he changes with every writer and artist that takes him on. So is joker really all that complex? Of course he is. Not necessarily more or less than batman's other enemies..(I think more then alot of them) but the rogues gallery is what makes batman who he is.
I wasn't really into this joker at all. it was kind of a tacky mark hammil rip off. I did like the scene of him at the desk getting all his stuff together.
I was impressed with a few of the shots, I wonder what kind of a budget they had. Batman with the flashlight at the beginning was pretty awesome.
