Crispin Joker
Oi! Glover Lovers, where is our fandom??
I still consider Crispin my number one favorite actor.. yet... my fandom seems so dead! Barely any news, barely any fan activity in LJ like with other fandoms around here... are you all hiding on some forum I don't know? (willing to share links?)
Anyway, http://www.newsarama.com/comics/080725-comic-con-Batman-panel.html
And how it relates to our ole Crispin
"The issue on whether or not the film producers should try and recast the Joker in subsequent films came up, with the panel all answering in the negative.
"Couldn't do it," said Morrison. "I always thought Crispin Glover would be a really good Joker, but that was 20 years ago, maybe. I think they're going to have a hard time replacing Heath Ledger.""
Discuss?
Ok, I am in love with Ledger-Joker, but if it was possible for Crispin to take up that role, I would die of joy. I don't know how it would be done, I don't think he could be exactly like Ledger's Joker. So then I'm not sure I would like to see a different Joker, it would be weird if he all of a sudden started talking differently in that universe. If there was a new batman world/movie/whatever created and a new joker, Crispin would be awesome..
But.. since there probably won't be, I think taking up Ledger's Joker is the only option. I can't really make my mind up about that. I would love it just because of the mere fact that its Crispin and the Joker, but I might also really feel weird. It would be weird if the Joker's persona and voice changed, BUT it would also be weird if it stayed exactly the same and Crispin was copying someone who passed away.
Also, I don't understand what they mean by '20 years ago Crispin could do it." What do you guys think? Has Mr. Glover really changed in 20 years acting wise? Young-Crispin would have been an awesome joker, but I don't think an older-joker would be impossible. With all the makeup and acting crazy, I don't think you would even be able to tell how old Crispin is. Obviously, as a person he's changed, but as an actor, I think he's doing more darker/creepier movies now then he did when he played the young geeky man.
Anyway. Just trying to breath some life into this community. Fell free to discuss a joker crispin, and link any other crispin forums/websites that are active! I miss this fandom.
