I'm just waiting for them to bring back the Siren for Joan Collins.

Nicholson is not the definitive Joker to many -- Romero is. I think both were great, actually - however both had established prior to taking on The Joker that they were capable of it. I thought Heath Ledger was excellent in The Brothers Grimm - showing some real acting chops I didn't expect - but can he pull off The Joker??? Maybe if he's a Pagliacci clown...

Hi, Shirley Temple Pudding.

The reinvented Joker in the late 80s was especially brutal and unfunny (well, he was funny in a very macabre way).
This is the Joker who knocked on Commisioner Gordon's door and shot Barbara (Batgirl) in the spine and paralyzed her.
Sick man. I imagine this is the Joker fitting into Nolan's very Milleresque vision of Gotham.

Nicholson was kind of horrible as in the role in my opinion.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Who is playing The Caped Crusader ?

There will only be one Joker & that was Cesar Romero.

I must be too young, because I have no idea who Cesar Romero is. (Unless he played the Joker on the TV series.)

I have never been let down with a Nolan film. Those two are by far my favorite cinematic duo!

I can't wait.

Romero was The Joker in the TV series. He was over the top and, as most villians on the TV show, was a joy to watch

That's what I thought. Did you catch Bravo's thing on the best TV villans? It might've been an AFI thing. They talked about most of the villans, including the Joker, the Penguin and the Riddler. I might've missed Catwoman.

Anyway, I remember seeing him on reruns. He played the Joker very big and flamboyant, if I remember correctly, unlike Jack.

There were 3 Catwomans

Julie Newmar
Eartha Kitt
Lee Merriweather

It is a close call between Newmar & Kitt but Kitt wins by a whisker

I only remember seeing Kitt. Did you know she's doing Disney now?
