kinda hilarious that by 1992 we already knew who the GOAT mad hatter was (tom petty) and the GOAT Joker was(mark hamill) and yet we kept making inferior versions for the next 32 years

They should make a two face where John Travolta is playing the left half and Nicolas Cage is playing the right half

Part of it is cultural - as the cops got more brutal, white supremacy continued to evolve, and hope basically died in 91 there's no where for batman to go but more sadistic, more violent, more cruel. He can't be a detective when dicks don't detect, he can't be silly in a world without whimsy.

We've also known for a long time that Harley's true love is Poison Ivy, but they insist on shoehorn the Joker on her.

I try my best to remember don’t come around here Petty and drown out the Postman.

nobody wants to leave that dollar lying there on the sidewalk

Whaaaaaat

two cartoon characters , a rabbit and a mad hatter , are sitting at a table with cups of tea .

Alt: The March hare and the Mad Hatter (Disney's animated Alice in Wonderland)

Tom Petty: Coolest Mad Hatter ever or most cool Mad Hatter ever?

This is insanely true. I agree that we need to keep trying different versions but can you imagine a Joker framed movie with Petty doing the soundtrack. That so deranged and perfect

this is to say I think I would have wanted to see what both these guys did with those roles in a big budget live action production. maybe its a disaster, but I would have liked to see it.
