Batman: AA vs. Batman: DK

First let me say Mark Hamill is the greatest Joker ever. Heath had nothing on him (R.I.P*). Heath didn't even read one Batman comic to get the source material. He tried to put his own spin on the Joker and in my eyes he failed miserably. My thoughts are the same when it comes to Kevin Conroy's Batman vs Christian Bale's. Kevin Conroy has been the best Batman for the better part of 2 decades and he continues to be the definitive voice. When Christian Bale spoke in gurgles and grunts, for most parts were inaudible. After playing only some of this game I wish they would take3hours of gameplay, release it in theaters and call it "Batman: Dark Knight Done Right"

The Dark Knight was the best movie of 2008. End of story.

why are we comparing a game to a movie?

They're both great, and I salute the makers of Batman: AA for not just trying to make a quick buck off the success of The Dark Knight. They have managed to do the impossible: make a AAA superhero game. Best of all, it's totally different from the Nolan movies. I'm amazed at the quality of the Batman franchise right now.

Heath Ledger was an awesome Joker...I think both he and Mark Hamill did the character justice. Instead of portraying him as some silly clown with deadly pranks they portrayed the character as a diabolical sociopath that is The Batman's arch rival. They are 2 awesome perfomances that shouldn't be compared.

Its just different ways of playing the same character. Personally I like Heath Ledger's joker a lot more though.

In AA the joker is a more completely and outrageous lunatic who doesn't care about anything surrounding him, while knowing how to completely anticipate batman. But Ledger's character is one about clear cut goals and knows how to dive into pretty much anyone's psychology. But in regards to actual performance the DK joker is a slightly more collected character and have the undisputedly better script due to C Nolan. :)

Here's a fun fact: I saw The Dark Knight twice in theatres, LOL. 1st time I done that for 1 movie.

mark hamill was a voice and heath fully acted as joker

i'll take heath....mark still is the a great jedi though (lmao)

Todd McFarlane : Spawn

Jim Lee : Lots of Wildstorm stuff

Mark Silvestri : The Darkness

Erik Larsen : The Savage Dragon

It was strange The amount of talent that just happened to be emplyed at Marvel seemingly all at the same time. They got pissed because they wanted to own the stuff that they did, so they started their own company. Most of the books were dismal failures, but a lot of those guys like Jim Lee (DC Universe) and Todd McFarlane became really successful.

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] Going by your wording, Ledger's Joker would have completely missed the mark. The Joker is suppose to be completely outrageous. Insane, and careless with his surrounding. It's his insanity that has made him such a comic book icon. jg4xchamp

I just thought it was an incredibly unique and fresh take on the character. I know the usual facts that we know of the joker is that he must be 'completely insane', but you can be and witty and collected(as the way I described) at the same time, I think heath ledger nailed it. But if the way I worded it it sounded like he did something wrong then I must say I didn't mean any of that.

what's wrong with slumdog millionaire?kolkov01

It doesn't have idiotic editing, 40 billion plot holes and a main star that grumbles most of the movie.

The Dark Knight is the one of the highest grossing movies of all time for a reason, and in my opinion heath ledger is the best onscreen joker ever. I do agree that Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy are superb voice actors' but thats where it stops, you are comparing voice acting to live acting which just seems retarded( i am not trying to start anything). Yes they have the voice but they wont be able to have the same onscreen presence, which i think Heath Ledger and Christian Bale captured brilliantly.

Mr Freeze's cell is in it, and if there is a sequel he will probably feature in that as properly!
Back to the main topic though, the best joker was definately Mark Hamill, but he wasn't only in the game, he was in the cartoons...

Joker was actually a clever psychotic with a twisted and demented take on reality after having has face burnt off (sorta) But neither is more accurate because the dark knight's joker was from 'The Killing Joke' while batman AA is completely new with things from all old comics (sorta)

The DK Joker might be better then the Animated Series Joker (personally i prefer Jack Nicolson above all)

but no way in Hell anyone wins against Mark Hamill

absolute motherf win

The more I watched The Dark Knight the more I liked Heath's adaptation of The Joker. I admit that I hated his adaptation of it my first time watching though.

Christian Bale plays a great Batman IMO. I have no issues with him as Batman though his voice does get old after awhile.

Both did outstanding jobs at portraying the Joker and imo they compliment each other rather than compete.

I think the movies are superior. His batsuit is better, its more serious and darker and awesomer than the comic book game batman. It also has a Hanz Zimmer soundtrack.
