jack nicholson is still the best in my eyes, the best rendition of joker. likewise, there is no doubt in my mind that michelle pfieffer is and probably always will be the best catwoman. period. she was the perfect fit. she had that feline quality and burton created such a amazing memorable character. but now hearing that some no talent young upstart like hathaway gets a role that should have gone to a better actress who looks better and can act better....just upsets me. this is the 3rd time nolan has miscast a villian. first with scarecrow with that puny little unintimidateing prettyboy cillian murphy, then with that gayback mountain indie actor ledger who played a rather pathetic looking so-called "joker", and now this. can it get any worse?
omg

Okay, here goes:
Agreed, Pfeiffer is a very good villain and the best Catwoman portrayal to date!
However, with every now take on something classic its always a sentimental thing

Your arrogant reaction towards both Heath Leger and Anne Hathaway shows this clearly.
Agreed, in my eyes Nicholson was just being Jack Nicholson, being a clown in a clownsuit.
Imo, it was good enough to come over as a Joker, since the joker was acting clownish too.
So, agreed, I could enjoy him as the joker!
Agreed, I didnt like the scarecrow "villain" as much as all the other villains we've seen untill that point. Not so much because of Cillian Murphy, but just because of the screen time...
Agree, I love the myth, the mystery and especially the operettic atmosphere that Batman Returns had.
But the Nolan films are a whoooole different approach to the Batman universe, so you can not and you should not try to compare them with each other.
What I don't agree with is, your arrogant reaction towards a performance that has already proven itself.
You are not being sentimental towards the Burton movies, you are just being plain arrogant
Just because you dont like it dont mean you gotta flame the guy, its called personal taste!
Ow and what you got against "indie actors"?
You're the type too dumb to look and appreciate a indie film; perhaps the only kind of movies your brain can consume are easy simple mind blockbuster movies with a script written by George Lucas with toys in his mind.
No wonder you dislike the Nolan films (yes its clear) cause they were actually kinda clever for the comic book genre huh...
You being arrogant can be shown easily by your reaction towards both Heath Leger and Anne Hathaway shows this clearly.
Stop being an arrogant ____ and give them a break.
The first one already proved out to be iconic, and the 2nd person didnt even had the chance to show her performance, so what an idiot you are.

Ow and the fact Ledger actually won an oscar made him a bad joker huh?
Well I guess you missed to see his performance or you were too focused on Jack the clown Nicholson that you missed Ledger interpretation in wich he did his very best NOT to copy Jack the clown Nicholson?
You should respect the fact he did not copy Jack the clown Nicholson and made the charactor his own!
What did you expect from Ledger when he was going to play the Joker? Another clown?
Ow yeah I forgot you are a blockbuster freak only so you would expect a predictable performance...
Last thing, however great Nicholson was and still is and will always be as an actor, he didnt do ____ that was special with his Joker interpretation!
He was being himself but a little bit more silly, waauw, that must have been so hard for him to do as a 12 time academy nominee and 3 time academy winner.
In real life I would have been much more affraid from the Ledger joker than from the Nicholson Joker.
With Nicholson you didnt had the feeling he was gonna do something to you personally, he would just let one of his goons do something and laugh a bit in the background.
But with Ledger, now thats something different.
You got the penthouse scene with the knife coming out of his freakin shoe all of a sudden.
You got the skyscraper scene with the bat and the dogs, look at him go!
Just because you like Jack Nicholsons joker, dont give you any validity to diss Ledgers performance and Anne Hathaway performance, wich hasten even started to film.
You lose every ____ing credibility by bashing somebody even before they started filming something.
Get outta here!
