Jack Nicholson is complaining that he wasn’t asked to play the role of the Joker again in the next Batman Movie, “The Dark Knight” and that Heath Ledger will be playing the role instead of him. Well, he wasn’t annoyed that Heath Ledger specifically got the role, just that he didn’t. At the age of 70 and with no saliva being naturally produced by his body. Just taking into account the saliva thing, Heath Ledger would be immeasurably lower maintenance than Jack Nicholson but that’s sort of about as good as it gets. Heath Ledger is strangely attractive, due in no small part to his voice being so deep and warm I’m slightly confused about how this linear plot line comes together.
In the original Tim Burton Batman, Jack Napier gets tossed into chemicals and then climbs out a freak and becomes the Joker. Anything prior to that would simply be Jack Napier as a weird hyper thyroid afflicted street criminal who says, “Did you ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?” to people before he kills them.
The thing is, it doesn’t really matter if he was beyond good in the role anyway. No one The Dark Knight is being aimed at would probably remember that anyway. Still, wouldn’t Christian Slater have been better?
Yeah, I just realized how much this sounds like something an obsessive comic book freak weirdo would write in between self congratulatory snorts and involuntary giraffe noises.
Still, how on earth can you feasibly get a 70 year old man to play a younger version of a character he played 16 years ago? Well, when you’re a big Hollywood celebrity, you can actually do anything. What was I thinking? He could employ two small lizards to sit in his mouth and spit relentlessly for a start. Yes, that’s one reasonable suggestion. [source]
