Glenn Howerton as been mentioned before right? It's a strange one, but he's talented.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

Howerton would be next level perfect for Joker in a more comedic film. He’d also be my top pick for Black Mask in general if I didn’t think he’d similar notes to Ewan. Really a bunch of villains he’d be good for.

He was the runner up for Starlord in Guardians, interestingly. Which I can totally see, though ultimately I think Pratt’s overgrown kid vibe works better despite Howerton being a more talented actor overall.

 

[AndyTrevino]

If they wanted a more comedic actor then Howerton seems like an interesting choice. I'd rather have Bill Hader, but Glenn Howerton seems fine too.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

Hader is a better actor probably but I would much prefer Howerton for Joker, he’s a way more natural fit. Hader would be good though.

Hader is a better actor probably but I would much prefer Howerton for Joker, he’s a way more natural fit. Hader would be good though.

I think they're the main two comedic actors who I can genuinely see in the role based on acting experience and looks. I could physically see John Mulaney as well but he's not really an actor (yet).

Howerton basically plays the Joker on Always Sunny anyways

Dennis Reynolds is just a financially unsuccessful Patrick Bateman.

 

[AndyTrevino]

He's a good choice, just not sure if he's a super realistic one

 

[Captain Tired]

I don't think he'd want to live in Bateman's apartment anyway. I mean think of the smell. ...YOU HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF THE SMELL, YOU B*TCH!

 

[CondimentKing]

The Dennis "You ever been in a storm, Wally?" scene might be the greatest thing ever broadcast on a television

if he was Joker there would be so many incredible memes, so yes please

 

[AndyTrevino]

As much as I like memes I'm tired of Joker being so heavily associated with them.

 

[Art Vandelay]

I would much prefer Howerton for Joker, he’s a way more natural fit.

Based on what?

 

[Captain Tired]

He looks like the guy on the page, he has experience in playing an emotionally volatile and morally unscrupulous sociopath?

 

[AndyTrevino]

Based on what?

Hader seems like a more realistic choice but I think this guy could do it too. Watch a couple episodes of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

It's tricky though because nobody saw Joker in Heath before TDK came out or Batman in Keaton before the 1989 movie came out. At least Howerton gives us an idea as to what he'd be like in the role.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Based on what?

The implication.

 

[AndyTrevino]

In a thread that has spent the last hundred pages or so shoving Keoghan down my throat like some bad medicine, calling Melling 'impish' is just the greatest injustice.

WHOA OH OH, SHAKE IT UP JUST LIKE BAD MEDICINE, BAD MEDICINE IS WHAT I NEED

 

[Captain Tired]

I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I’m watching I Am The Night and really feeling Chris Pine as Joker. He has full on Cage moments.

I feel like he's too masculine for Joker. I like him as an actor but have no desire to see him as the Clown Prince of Crime.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Heath had a very masculine presence as well.

Aaaagh, you got me there, unless we're talking about his actual Joker performance, which is debatable

 

[SwordOfMorning]

That... would actually probably be brilliant. Pine is low key the most classically charismatic movie star of his generation.

 

[shauner111]

Don’t like his voice for it.

 

[Eddie Dean]

That’s cool, actors change their voices all the time.
