In a perfect world, Daniel Day-Lewis would play the Joker ? in a perfect world DDL wouldn\’t make proganda like LINCOLN

I think Michael Pitt could nail the Joker role.

Michael Wincott. Period.

(Take a look at his body of work and try to argue.)

@ Nate – yeah, he could be good, but there\’s no way he\’d go anywhere near a role that Ledger already played.

Jared Leto = a pretty middling choice, in my opinion. What made Ledger so great in the role was the (frankly brilliant) choices he made to create a character that was totally unpredictable. Not to put too fine a point on it, but — and I say this as one of the naysayers before I saw his performance — the guy may have been a legitimate genius at acting. Not sure Leto is at that level, so I doubt he\’ll be able to escape Ledger\’s shadow, but then again, I get the impression that this is gonna be one of those movies that exists to ultimately be cable-filler, so quality be damned.

i have to say i could totally imagine jared leto doing it, if warner goes with the new 52 look of the joker it would be jared leto waring a mask cut out of his own skin creepy!…. and his acting skills you can\’t deny even though he did some shabby movies…

You guys are idiots I guess no one has ever seen requiem for a dream….. Ryan gosling would disgrace the joker in every way possible as would Daniel day Lewis and jake gylenhal would make this film unwatchable…… In a perfect world Heath would play the joker again because no one will ever do a better job at it than him but other than him in a perfect world Christian bale would play the joker but that obviously can\’t happen because he was already batman so after those too I don\’t see a better option than Leto he will do the best possible job someone not named Heath ledger can do

Very curious to see what he\’d do with Joker. Gosling could have been great, imagine that slightly twisted, leading man smoulder that he brings to things like Drive turned fully psychotic. Then again, he may have hammed it up as he did in Gangster Squad and turned in a turd of a performance. I\’ve got my eyes on you Ayer. If Fury is anything to go by, this could have real promise.

Jake Gyllenhaal would make the most fantastic joker the world has seen. Hands down, cased closed. Watch Nightcrawler, Donnie Darko, Prisoners, or Zodiac, and tell me he wouldn\’t be perfect for the role. He\’s spent his entire career playing in psychological thrillers – in the words of the clown himself, all he needs is a little push.

I love Jared and think he has amazing acting skills, but I just don\’t think he\’d be the right fit for The Joker. Those are some pretty big shoes to step in after Heath\’s portrayal in Nolan\’s DKR, and while I\’m not doubting his skills I\’m just saying I don\’t think it\’s the best fit, I don\’t think he\’d be able to undergo this transformation.
I\’m also very dubious of Cara as Harley, considering how little acting experience she has (even though she has the \’right\’ look for the role).

Ryan Gosling would have been fascinating and likely great as the Joker. He\’s a talented actor and it would have been fascinating to see him transform into the Joker. Jared Leto on the other hand is kind of an easy choice and not very inspired. Maybe he\’ll be great, but I can\’t help but prefer a more inspired and talented actor. In a perfect world, Daniel Day-Lewis would play the Joker.

So I guess WB strategy of picking up Gosling\’s panned debut for distribution didn\’t work.
