Why Actors Take Playing The Joker So Seriously

[@thatdapperplat7805]

Joker: "Why so serious?" Screen Rant: Well here is why...

[@ultistinct]

"Why so serious?" "You wouldn't get it."

[@VKingMD]

I think the issue is that Health Ledger perfectly captured the joker as someone with the ultimate dark twisted sense of humor who thrives on chaos. It's difficult to tap into that. Phoenix does a good job showing how someone could be driven to madness and murder, but I could not imagine the Phoenix joker pulling off any of the heists or things that the Ledger joker does. They are different characters by the same name.

[@holysecret2]

Who knows what Joaquin's Joker might become over 20 years

[@SilverDemon456]

You can see it towards the end though. He spent his whole life being ignored and questions whether he's even real. When he's in the police car watching all the chaos that is directly caused by him, he's ecstatic. He affected the world in such a huge way, and in the end everybody is looking at him. So, I could see him getting addicted to causing chaos, and thriving on it.

[@SummeRain783]

Because he is one of the best villains ever created. Extremely complex, highly intelligent, unpredictable, a dark sense of humour, no motive except to cause chaos, fearless and throws in witty lines here and there. Like “if you’re good at something, never do it for free”. Most of us feared and loved him at the same time while growing up. Just imagine trying to play this role and create that feeling in your audience. Most people and villains fear losing something but the joker literally has nothing to loose.

Honestly I feel so bad for Jered Leto, if you see interviews of Leto before he began his role you can tell his idea of joker was definitely what Joaquin Phoenix’s joker ended up being. You could see the sparkle in his eyes as he talked about his role. I genuinely believe he would have been a wonderful joker if they hadn’t made him an e-boy.

[@juliantaffa4089]

Leto's still a ridiculously talented actor. But boy oh boy did the studio take it in the wrong direction. Sure, have him be a crime boss. But... not like that. He had the look and wardrobe of a mumble rapper, and drove a brightly coloured car with underglow. Why, Warner Brothers? Whose brilliant idea was that?

Those idiots were also riding the bandwagon of sjws and were rightly put n place by a local director (whose film was bashed in same way for being too violent barely months ago but still grossed tons of money as the viewers loved it).

Most of the bad reviews from both critics and "audience" (i use that term sparingly since a lot of people just listen to what the media says without watching the film and deciding for themselves whether it was bad) come from the media that was branding it with a political affiliation; calling it a movie for "Incels" and "Alt-right" radicals. That is bullshit. I miss the days when movies could make statements or provoke thought without being branded with a political ideology or put with a group of people to be written off. If the movie wasn't boring, provoked thought and was generally well made, then it was a good movie. Critics, audiences and social media personalities are not good sources for whether something is good or bad. The only truly reliable way to know if it is good or bad is to watch it for 15 some odd bucks.

I like Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker, but I think most of the Joker's bring something special to the role. Heath portrayed the chaotic destructive force of insanity that the Joker can embody. Jack Nicholson embodied the more classic criminal mastermind Joker Joaquin Phoenix embodied the more humane side and the fall into Darkness that likely leads to the creation of the Joker persona. Heath and Joaquin both portray Joker well as the unreliable narrator that likes to make his origin multiple choice as well. Cameron Monaghan did a great job portraying three versions of the Joker. But he had a lot more screentime to refine the character.

If I were to rank the actors I would go with 1. Joaquin Phoenix: I know I know Ledger is everyone's favorite but watching the physical brutality Joaquin put himself through when he was preparing is just astonishing, the body language throughout the film is a treat to watch and having him on screen the whole time really helped 2. Heath Ledger: One of the greatest performances in film history, Heath did incredible and nailed the mental side of things where as Joaquin nailed the physical side 3. Jack Nicholson: Brought a proper dark side to the character as well as seriousness which forever shaped the future of the Joker as a film character 4. Mark Hamil: I know he only did voice acting but in terms of an animated Joker no one does it quite like Hamil but I'm also glad it stays as just a vocal preformance because I don't think he would do physically very well for the character 5. Jared Leto: Only thing saving this preformance is the fact that Jared took the role seriously and the movie took the character seriously 6. Cesar Romero: I'm sorry but this preformance was beyond ridiculous and can't be looked at seriously

[@psydoof]

Robin Williams, Johnny Depp, and David Bowie would have been a very interesting joker. Look at the way Joaquin took on the role, he gave us a very real performance on the fact that society can make you go mad and get you to your breaking point. And Heath Ledger was on a whole other level. I think what makes joker one of the best characters of all time is that whoever is portraying him, can make him unique. He’s such a flexible character so it’s cool to see how writers and actors will break the boundaries for him. I’d rather see Jared Leto portraying his version of the joker than see him try to copy Heath or anyone else for that matter. The joker is probably one of the most diverse characters in the history of cinema

[@jashimuddin220]

[@jennikifm2]

To be a good Joker, I feel you need to be a really good comedian. As you said, each actor can make up their own, unique version of Joker simply by playing as themselves. Restricting a comedian to a certain theme doesn't give them much wiggle room creatively, and the more restrictions, the more carbon-copy it's gonna seem.

[@IncoherentSchizo]

@@OpportunisticHunter I think you are partially right but in a lot of movies, especially with high profile actors like jared leto, there is more freedom given to how the character looks given that their performance is affected by how they act and vice versa. In lower profile films with lower profile actors, you might be right, but when you have a bigger name to put on the poster, naturally they are a bigger element and can sometimes make or break a movie. So it makes sense to cater to them a bit more. But there is a lot of elements to this kind of decision though with a key factor being the contract negotiated and how the actor's manager worked the details in. Another big factor in this decision is the director/producer since the director can also leverage their infamy against the actor depending on the directors personality. I agree to an extent with what you are saying, but I just wanted to add on since it is not so cut and dry.

That people took the role seriously after Ledger. Hamill and Jack did it before, but not with any such depth.

[@sallgoodman2323]

No one's belittling their performance, Hamill did great with what he had available to him which was his voice. Jack had a more comedic take. Belittling, stop

[@yasseryasser1842]

Oh, explaining why actors take playing the Joker so seriously is TIGHT!

[@mako4268]

I just hated how Jared Leto's Joker looked. I would have liked him a lot if he didn't have those silver grills and tattoos

[@danhathaway7984]

Ya, gangsta Joker just doesn't work.

[@ryanmartinez7488]

The grill is bc he ain’t got teeth anymore

[@mako4268]

@@ryanmartinez7488 Oh I didn't know that. I'm not suprised after how many times Batman probably punched him in the face. 😂

[@jacobaarum]

Dan Hathaway Joker is a gangster 80% of his 80 years, in the majority of his origins that are hinted at and wasn’t he that in Batman 89?

[@H0n3yMonstah]

@@jacobaarum you're confusing a gangster, with a gangsta.
