He does crazy very well. Just because an actor plays to a specific kind of character mold, does not lessen his ability to accurately portray a character. I still contend that he was the best joker to date. It is entirely possible that the new joker could be better, but the jury is still out on that...

They wanted a Jack Nicholson-style Joker, and what better way to achieve that?" Unless you worked on the movie during casting you can't really say that definitively. Jack Nicholson couldn't have played that part any other way. The new one is just a better script. And so far it looks like it's a better movie. “That’s an old argument among webnerds, but any bitchery in that regard should be directed at the casting director and the movie director.

Personally, I did think he was just playing himself. Let's see what Nolan & Co. can do. Go to any movie board, and they’ll claim he’s the only real Joker.

Now if I could just get everyone on board my <b>Ian McShane as the Penguin</b> bandwagon...
