I'd probably have agreed with that a few years ago when I hadn't read many comics with the joker and known a lot less about him. He IS completely fucking insane, but he's still got some charisma and has to be believably insane, if that makes any sense. What I'm trying to say is, some old dude who had his prime a couple decades ago and would just ham it up isn't exactly the perfect choice for one of the most profilic villains of all time. Maybe keeping the same spirit of batman begins and keeping the cheese factor toned down will allow people to forget about all the over the top shit in the schumacher batman movies.
