Again no knock against Hamill but I think Glover could pull the entire package. And folks, he *has* done other work than BTTF.
Plus is really really is a seriously creepy wired guy and could bring lots to the role.Quote
Greencapt: I couldn't disagree with you more about Jack Nicholson's performance as the Joker. I thought it was great! Easily the best performance of anyone in those four Batman movies. No one else could play that role like he did. NO ONE.
Best performance of the first four films? Sure probably (though Alfred was pretty good throughout). Was he a good Joker? Not really in my opinion- he was Jack Nicholson. Maybe they should have called him the Jacker? As a reader of the comic that was not the Joker that many creators worked hard to define. And I just plain had a hard time looking at him. Then again I had a hard time looking at Keaton as Batman.

Batman-On-Film is a great site, but if you look at the Recent News section you'll find this:

Got a new name to add into the mix for The Joker in the BATMAN BEGINS sequel: Paul Bettany. Bettany joins Lachy Hulme and Crispin Glover in the mix to play The Crown Prince of Crime. The same source who passed along Bettany's name informed us that there is "no truth" behind Mark Hamill being up for the role. He also told us that Mr. Hamill is "a little old" for this new take on The Joker. Mr. Hamill is in his mid-fifties I believe. I'm digging into more sequel rumors, so stay tuned....
I *really* like Paul Bettany as well. He was great in 'A Knight's Tale' and should be interesting as the albino villain in 'The DaVinci Code'
