I never found Mark Hamil or *shudders* Jack Nicholson's joker to be suitable for the big screen. Sure, Hamil was great for the animated series but seeing that character on the screen wouldn't have interested me very much. In a film, the villain needs to be someone you wouldn't want to cross paths with in an alley. I don't like Jack Nicholson in general. Just always thought he was overrated. Bruce Dern could've played the part much better in the Michael Keaton film. Bruce could be frightening when he needed to be, had just about the right voice for it, and was still clever enough to pull off the weirdness believably. Check him out in Thumb Tripping if you don't believe me.

Mark Hamil is perfect in the animated and Arkham stuff, agree with the live action stuff. Jack Nicholson was essentially just Jack Nicholson with latex and make-up on.

If I was going to cast the Joker top of my list to check out would be the actor Richard Sammel, he can do psychopathic very well but whether he could do the absurd side would be a question mark.

There there Mags one day you will graduate from gifs to adverts, baby steps. You might even get to shorts or perhaps even tv programs, films might be a bit too far though.

Not a movie, but the Daredevil series on Netflix is the best thing that Marvel has done so far. I'm really excited for season 2.

I think you should apply to become a buzzfeed "journalist". You would get to browse gifs all day and write articles pretty much entirely in gif form whilst getting paid to do it.

I can definitely see Dern in that role - he'd be an excellent choice...

Liked Daredevil too, but I thought Jessica Jones was more interesting in many ways. Also seemed odd to continue referring to Hell's Kitchen as a downtrodden area considering how much that neighborhood has transformed in real life.

OK, but I just came here to say that I like Spiderman and that I've missed you, that's all. :sadcheer:

I like gifs, but I don't think I like them that much. A lot of people use them around here, but I'm the only one who's called an addict.  >:(

Yeah I read online that they touched on that issue by saying that Hell's Kitchen was most affected by the alien invasion and that's why it is so run down.

Think about it, with the right script he could boast having killed both John Wayne AND Bruce Wayne. I should be in the movie business. Been working on a script since I was fourteen... skits are added on an almost weekly basis.

Finally finished watching the second season. Much better than the first, not that I thought the first was bad the character Daredevil never really appealed to me, the whole catholic guilt thing never did it for me.

The Punisher is the best thing about the second season, another character I never really cared for but I could have easily have watched a season about that character and hope they do create one.

I still have three episodes to go before I finish. Overall I think it's a pretty solid season. I hated the whole Matt/Karen thing though. I thought that it came out of nowhere seeing as Foggy was trying to get with her all last season. Plus they had no chemistry together and it was just boring.

Course, if anyone should get together it should be Matt and Foggy. They just have the best bromance.

Went to watch the Batman vs Superman film. There is clearly potential in it but it quite frankly is a poor film. It appeared to be going for a sombre tone like Dark Knight Returns (not the movie) but felt stale, none of the characters actually felt developed and the schemes of lex luthor to get the fight he wanted was a bit dumb and having him as a bit of an odd ball made no sense. The action sequences were good and would have actually liked to see more of that Batman, it was certainly more in keeping with the version I grew up with as a kid. They tried to do the whole impact that the superheros have on the people that get caught in the cross fire but I thought it was very poorly done, same with the dream sequences, yeah they happen a lot in the graphic novels but they usually add something. The pacing was all over the place and the last bit was stupid.
