of the Joker in the Batman movies so starting with the really important stuff
first number 5 the direct website published a report this past week
claiming that Matt Reeves isn't just going to use a new version of the Joker
and his new Batman trilogy of movies he's going to use the Joker character
way more in a much bigger way than any previous Batman movie franchise before
not counting the TV series like Batman the Animated Series or the live-action
TV series like Gotham or the Adam West 1966 Batman series because there were
multiple appearances from those versions of the Joker we're really just talking
about the big movie franchises and even though there's a lot of question about
whether or not we'll ever see Joaquin Phoenix's Joker again in another movie
they've been talk about them doing it there's been talk about them not doing
it he was great as that character but Todd Phillips keeps saying that he never
intended for his Joker movie to crossover with Robert Pattinson Batman
movies you just wanted to make fun of me really good example of previous Joker's
though Heath Ledger only appeared as the Joker once in the Dark Knight Jared Leto
technically only appeared in The Suicide Squad film even though technically he's
the version of the Joker referenced in the birds-of-prey movie he never
appeared on-screen during that Jack Nicholson only appeared in the first
Michael Keaton Batman movie in 1989 fun fact though had they continued with that
iteration of the Batman franchise in a fifth Batman movie that would have been
titled Batman Unchained they had planned to bring back Jack Nicholson's Joker as
a hallucination in Batman's mine filming new footage with Jack Nicholson I think
we can all agree though that as cool as that might have been to see him come
back and reprise his role we were much better off moving to the Christopher
Nolan Dark Knight trilogy of Batman films so number for this new Joker
report goes on to state that the plan for this new version of the Joker is to
cast another major actor there been a lot of rumors about who that could be
I'll mention second in the Joker's story arc in the
new Batman trilogy of movies will be a bigger version bigger buildup of say
like the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight trilogy Joker with Heath Ledger so think
about the way that the Dark Knight trilogy treated the Joker character at
the end of Batman Begins Gordon tells Batman that a new costume crazy person
is serviced and literally is leaving playing cards as calling cards shows him
the Joker playing card from a recent crime scene and that just meant to be
the end tag scene teaser that the Joker would be the main villain of the next
movie The Dark Knight Heath Ledger was amazing in that but because he
unfortunately passed away before the Dark Knight Rises was made they opted
not to do any Joker during that third movie although after he did pass away
Heath Ledger's sisters apparently did an interview claiming that he had told them
he planned a return in some fashion to the Dark Knight Rises we don't really
know what his role would have been during that movie given that Tom Hardy's
Bane was supposed to be in the main villain if he would have teamed up with
him or just simply taken advantage of all the chaos that he was causing in
Gotham so number 3 / this report the new Robert Pattinson Batman movie version of
the Joker is supposed to be a more drawn-out version of The Dark Knight
trilogy version of the Joker storyline teased him at the end of the first movie
with a reference or a playing card something small but obvious letting you
know that the Joker exists within this universe he's simply too big to swerve
on they sell way too many toys make way too much money to not do any kind of
Joker at all then he'd appear on screen in some fashion during the Batman 2
whatever that sequel winds up being but he wouldn't be the main villain of that
movie like he was during the Dark Knight he'd just be a side character in the way
they say like Colin Farrell has said that his version of the penguin is in
the first Batman movie and has some great scenes but he's not meant to be
the main villain and he doesn't have a ton of scenes in terms of quantity
compared to some of the other villains but they used that second Batman movie
to develop the new Joker character more and then he becomes the main villain of
the 3rd Batman movie right now the Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves Batman
movies are only being described as a trilogy so I don't know if they have
plans to do more Batman with Robert Pattinson after that I think it just
depends on how things go I did a video last week about how Warner Brothers has
a desire to do more Batman spin-off movies for characters like the Riddler
and Catwoman given the success of the Joaquin Phoenix standalone joke
Mubi so there will be more Batman related movies even if they don't do a
fourth Robert Pattinson Batman movie but number two you've also probably seen the
rumors about who might wind up playing that new version of the Joker I've seen
a lot of recent speculation about Willem Dafoe although I think he's just a fan
theory right now more than an actual possibility Willem Dafoe and Robert
Pattinson just did the lighthouse movie together a while ago they were a great
pair together Willem Dafoe is an amazing actor he's played some amazing villains
his version of the Green Goblin in the Tobey Maguire spider-man movies is still
iconic you're an amazing creature spider-man you and I are not so
different but I don't think that the type of characters that he typically
plays are in the tone of what Matt Reeves is talking about with his Batman
movie he said that his new Batman movie or multiple new movies if we're talking
about a trilogy are totally somewhere between Tim Burton's more stylized
Batman Christopher Nolan's more realistic Batman and what I would call
the heightened reality of the neo-gothic Batman the Animated Series if you've
seen some of the set pictures from the Batman movie this past year you pricing
some of the architecture to sort of reflects that sort of a little bit more
gothic than what you saw during Christopher Nolan's Batman movies but
not quite so crazy is what we saw during the Tim Burton films so until they
actually cast someone and we see him on screen I'm imagining a joker somewhere
between Jack Nicholson's Joker and Heath Ledger's Joker terrorizes yes Joaquin
Phoenix would be amazing in the new Batman movies but I've already done a
couple videos explaining how Todd Phillips doesn't want his Joker to
crossover with the Batman movies he seems completely opposed to it the other
new Joker actor that everyone's been talking about this year has actually
been Johnny Depp and it's just a rumor right now I don't have any strong
feelings about him particularly personally as long as whoever this new
Joker winds up being just delivers a great performance I don't care who Matt
Reeves winds up picking I tried to have too many expectations like that because
when Heath Ledger was first announced as the Joker for Dark Knight the internet
just completely hated the idea cut to a couple years later after the movie and
he became the most beloved Joker of all time next to Mark Hamill's Joker I'll
show ya when down these these civilized people
they'll eat each other the exact same thing happened for the joaquin phoenix
joker when he was announced to people freaked out and suddenly he's now one of
the new best jokers of all time so speaking of which number one my
favorite versions of the joker if you include all the TV series including the
animated ones the spin-off movies there have been at least sixteen different
major versions of the joker so i'm just going to do my top five in reverse order
here all these are great performances by the way starting with number five the
cesar romero joker from the 1966 Adam West Batman series he's a classic
through and through if you've never seen any of his Joker be sure to check it out
at some point number four the Cameron Monaghan Jerome version of the Joker
from Gotham even though I didn't like everything that they did with that TV
series I feel like he did something really interesting with that TV version
of the Joker number three is Jack Nicholson's Joker
from the 1989 Batman movie even though his version of the Joker was very
different from the canonical comic book Joker backstory he just delivered an
iconic performance and he was my first movie Joker that I ever saw as a child
ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight I always ask that of all my
brain I just like the sound of it number two was Joaquin Phoenix's Joker from the
Joker movie however you feel about the movie itself his performance was amazing
Murray one small thing yeah when you bring me out can you introduce me as
Joker and as you probably guess my number one pick is actually a tie
between Heath Ledger's Joker from The Dark Knight in Mark Hamill's Joker from
Batman the Animated Series normally people only think about the live-action
movies when you think about the best versions of the characters but Mark
Hamill has one of the most iconic Joker port rails in history from any of the
movies any of the TV series in Batman the Animated Series itself is one of the
best TV series of any TV series in history Batman mask of the phantasm is
also one of the best Batman movies of all time it just happens to be an
animated movie
