Jack Nicholson on Heath’s Joker November 8th, 2007

Seems like there’s a heated Joker debate going on in this post. Well, to put some fuel on the fire MTV had a sit down chat with for­mer Joker, Jack Nicholson:

MTV: What do you think of another actor, Heath Ledger, play­ing the Joker in next summer’s “The Dark Knight”?

Nichol­son: Let me be the way I’m not in inter­views. I’m furi­ous. I’m furi­ous. [He laughs.] They never asked me about a sequel with the Joker. I know how to do that! Nobody ever asked me.

MTV: It was never brought up?

Nichol­son: No. It’s like, in any area, you can’t believe the rea­sons things do or don’t hap­pen. Not ask­ing me how to do the sequel is that kind of thing. Maybe it’s not a mis­take. Maybe it was the right thing, but to be can­did, I’m furious.

MTV: I’m sur­prised to hear you sound­ing com­pet­i­tive about a role like that.

Nichol­son: Well, the Joker comes from my child­hood. That’s how I got involved with it in the first place. It’s a part I always thought I should play.

It is also rumored that we might see a Dark Knight poster before the end of this month.

Sounds like The Dark Knight is again tak­ing a more real­is­tic, sin­is­ter view on the Bat­man series, mak­ing it more like the comic. I think that Jack needs to realise that the real Joker is a psy­chopath, who ran­domly kills for his own plea­sure, and not the mur­der­ous, laugh­ing clown that he played. If Heath Ledger plays the Joker as scar­ily as I have heard, I can’t wait to see the movie!

Jack Nichol­son kicked Heath Ledger’s ass as the Joker. Any­body that doesn’t feel the same should have a gun with a bang flag shot through their skull.

HaHA­HA­HA­HA­HAHA HEEEEEEEEEEeeeee
