      @Paraprax Před měsícem +5

      Great comment. Really makes you think about what Grissom was thinking in the moment, and how grotesque and baffling Jack's appearance is here to someone who not only thought he was dead, but has no pop-cultural knowledge of "the Joker". In context, Napier basically looks like a badly-painted corpse who's walked out of a funeral home, combined with creepy old-timey harlequins from the circuses of Grissom's youth.

      I just realized Grissom speedruns 4 of the 5 stages of Grief all through this scene when he realizes its Jack. He tries to deny he intended to kill Jack, has an angry outburst when denied the ability to grab the gun, tries bargaining, then feels despair when he sees Jack is totally gone in the head and sees what he's become

      Every other actor has to try real hard, go to acting school, hire acting coaches, go “method” to become the character.

    I remember watching this movie in the theater. The audience loved Jack Nicholson as The Joker. Whenever he made a joke the audience laughed. He nailed the role perfectly. At the end of the movie when it showed Batman standing on a rooftop looking at the Batsymbol in the Sky was classic. Then the credits came and everyone stood up and gave a round of applause. I'll never forget that!

    You know, I love Ledger's version of The Joker as much as anyone, but I feel like it was missing the more absurdist, comedic component. He is called The Joker after all. This Joker has it all - the moment before his reveal, he's absolutely terrifying, like something from the Dark Knight - but then the absurdity kicks in, the music starts, it whiplashes into comedy.
    The way this version of The Joker switches from absolutely terrifying to hilarious and surreal is something that other portrayals didn't do, and somehow Tim Burton made it work.

While Nicholson’s Joker is a psychotic, egocentric, ruthless, narcissistic, merciless, sadistic criminal that captures the eccentric theatrical side of The Joker.
