There are only two names that come to mind as the perfect casting for the Joker. I apologize in advance if they have been listed already, I just clicked on the last page here.
1) Crispin Glover - Marty McFly's dad from Back to the Future and the man that played Willard. He's creepy, he's skinny as a twig, and man can he look disturbed. Just watch Willard; you'll see what I mean. He's the perfect choice for me.
2) Paul Bettany - if you haven't seen the new Harrison Ford movie Firewall... don't.
Just kidding, it's not that bad and I love me some Harrison Ford, but Paul Bettany is a great bad guy in that. Plus, I heard he was very creepy as that albino guy in DaVinci Code. He, too, is tall and lanky and looks like he could pull off Joker.
For me, Jack Nicholson was good as a character named the Joker in a movie that Tim Burton made and decided to call Batman.
The first four bat-films are fun but to me are BINO (Batman in name only). Jack Nicholson made that film as much fun as it was, that's for sure. But he was never the quintessential Joker that we all deserve. And yes, for the record, I do love the first Batman and I own it on VHS and DVD and I have watched it countless times, but Batman Begins hasn't left my multi-disc changer since I bought it and I doubt I'll ever watch Burton's again because Begins is so perfect.
Later guys.
ps - please don't flame me.
