    heath ledger as the joker

    Apparently Heath Ledger got his inspiration for his version of the joker from a man named Tom Waits





    How do you think Heaths' joker compares to Tom Waits?

    The Joker's and Tom Waits's speaking mannerisms and body language seem similar to me,but that's just what I notice at least.

    He builds on Wait's mannerism and quirkiness by adding the joker's dark side to the mix. Wait seems like a benign if somewhat spontaneous and quirky character. The Joker strikes me as the kind of fellow that would slit your throat with a butter knife because he thinks the butter knife would look better with your arterial spray on it.

    Pleb, watch the movie again. The joker is uncannily consistent and determined when it comes down to the principles behind his actions. Everything he does is done with an underlying purpose. Most people just can't understand the whole batman-joker dynamic, let alone the underlying symbolism or w/e you want to call it.

    Now that I've seen the video, that guy is odd as fuck. That whole interview was, super odd and seemed forced. I see the where Heath Ledger got it though. His performance wasn't as odd, but I do see where it came from.
