Hot Toy DX08 - BATMAN - The Joker (Jack Nicholson) - Specs & Pics

[Cocoboloboy]

That's the first version offered. Commonly known as the "Eddie Munster" version. The the V2 sculpt and it's variant were 100% better. With a repaint they were actually quite good.

Anyway, about that hat...

It seems like Nicholson Joker was actually crazy he was a genuine lunatic. In a way thats a lot scarier. When he was dancing on the rooftop he put himself in danger and he didn't care

I didn't get 'crazy' from ledger Joker, he was very coordinated and calculating. Even if the things he was doing didn't make sense he was always organized. Like putting a bomb inside one of his own men. That was carefully planned out, he knew what he was going to do.That whole thing was about getting Lao. From the beginning inside the truck he already knew the outcome, probably before that. Probably from the start at the bank robbery.

Nicholson Joker would have never thought to do that, because he never would have planned on getting arrested, he didn't have that sort of attention span. It was all was spur of the moment. They are both scary for different reasons

Eh, Joker was concocting all kinds of crazy chemicals and putting them in beauty products. That takes planning. I think Nicholsons Joker came off just as clever. As far as the Joker being spur of the moment and crazy vs. organized and and just scary or something...well hasnt the Joker always been all those things. I mean depending on what writer. There has always been the question is "he really as crazy as he seems" AND what is crazy for that matter. There has been a couple of storylines along those lines when it comes to the Joker.

It's possible. . .but I don't think that's the case. The shift from BR Joker head to now is less significant than the shift from the first PERS sculpt to the more recent PERS sculpts. I think it's just a PERS problem. Having said that, Indy and Luke have serious likeness issues of their own IMO. . .

Yep, again, I could live without PERS.

Why in the world would they produce a Returns Penguin? That was the worst character/movie in the history of mankind. Raised by penguins? Selina falling in a truck of kitty litter?? Burton took the franchise back to the campy (yet dark) feel of the sixties which everyone feared was going to happen in '89. He just did it a couple years later. Movie sucked.

I dont really like Returns but it's hard to deny what Devito and Phifer did for those roles. I thought both their designs looked fantastic. We all know how great Catwoman's suit turned out but I don't think the Penguin gets enough credit. Although it always annoyed me how he was born resembling a penguin and he just happened to be found in the Gotham Zoo by.....you guessed it...penguins. I dunno. But he looked and sounded fantastic and I think the HT figures will look no less than that...fantastic. I just don't dig the movie so I'm passing on them. I just can't bring myself to shell out that kinda money for figures of movies I don't even like, no matter how cool they look.

Could you imagine if Nolan's next Batman film was along the same lines of Batman Returns?? They'd hang the guy! Why was it okay in 1992 then? LOL

well, at least TDKR has catwoman, same with batman returns....so after next summer, we could compare which one better: Michelle or Anne?

I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on timcent88's ebay ad. He's got 100% positive feedback and I can get him next week with Speed Post shipping but it'll cost me $385.

Still trying to talk myself into it.

HELL NO bro!!! just wait!

If you are interested in getting DX08 now dgray-man on eBay is offering a much better price than $380. I bought my Keaton Batman from them.

 

[bloodgear]

He's also a really good seller!

What did you guys think when the penguins were carrying a 300lb man to his watery grave?

I thought the Penguin's death scene was touching and sad from the moment he rises out of the water to the moment where those emperor Penguin pole bearers "bury" him. With Elfman's music and the visuals you almost feel sorry for this pathetic thing, until you remember he tried to off innocent kids.

Is it silly and fantastical? Yes, but I don't think it makes it dull or ridiculously stupid. The Penguin's story concludes just like when he arrives onto the scene, an outcast abandoned by society. A popular misconception was that he was raised by Penguin's, he wasn't. He grew up with the circus gang and was part of a freak show.

And didn't Batman reveal his identity again?!?

Not really, unless you count Selina, who already knew who he was. He was trying to open up to her. I guess Shrek was there too, but he ended up dying.

Also, again? He doesn't reveal squat in '89. That's Batman Forever and Batman Begins where he's telling chicks who he is.

She fell into a construction truck that had sand in it. She was being humorous and ironic about it, it wasn't literally cat litter.


We'll see if Nolan's Catwoman has a better characterization (doubtful so far unless people want a liberal lefty, "give to da poor", occupy 99% Catwoman) but in the visual/character design department the Returns Catwoman is a thousand times better.

No one could replace Michelle Pfieffer as Catwoman for me, she was perfect!

the only woman I think that has a chance would be Charlize Theron, great actress and gorgeous but no way in hell could Anne Hathaway do it.

was that guy serious about the cat litter comment?

 

[RIDDICK]

I don't think he looks like a kid at all, he just looks like the Joker from TDK and IMO the better Joker.

Oh pleeeeeeeeease... go spit!

so after next summer, we could compare which one better: Michelle or Anne?

Just remember that you can't compare things between which lies some "20-years-difference"

One word:

Fassbender.
