Come on, you didn't like Jack Nicholson acting zany and yelling "This town needs an enema!"
?
In other news, that movie looks hot. Who'd have thought Heath Ledger would make a decent Joker? Even the laugh is good.---------------

I think Heath sounds a lot like how I remember Jack Nicholson played the joker :o_______________________________
We're definitely playing this game wrong. I thought Vampire was supposed to be a game of personal horror, not about ninja magic-carpet airstrikes at night.

But the laugh we heard over the shot with the burning playing cards was almost pure Cesar Romero... He's definitely drawing on previous Jokers for this.

And this Joker looks more realistic serial killer-like.
Good call on the Cesar Romero slightly askew facepaint. Though I am disappointed they didn't opt for facial deformation.
However, as they were going for a "this might actually happen, kinda" version of Batman...

While I would not have originally thought of Heath for the Joker, the combination of the director and his own talents seems to have produced some tasty, tasy, fruit.
Having said that, I consider the great missed opportunity for playing the Joker is Billy Drago. That would be creepy.
