The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

The Pacer just seems like the perfect choice for The Joker. I'm surprised that isn't canon... |

Matchbox issued a Batman set last year that included a purple Pontiac Vibe with Joker graphics. It can still be found in some stores today. |

Oh Yes, I am very aware of that set Buuut, I am hesitant to spend $10.00 for just that car I'll probably hit EBAY eventually and pick it up solo if the price is right Spencer?:>} Edited by MACHOne1971, Dec 21 2011, 11:52 PM.

Some bad guys are just too good to ignore! So, gotta ask...Cesar Romero, Mark Hamill (aka Luke Skywalker), or Jack Nicholson? Edited by juantoo3, Dec 22 2011, 09:53 AM.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

No, Sean, the perfect car would be the Nissan Juke. What a joke. The poor Pacer continues to be humiliated.......but it killed my Javelin, so it deserves humiliation. |

It didn't really kill the Javelin. The pony car market was shrinking, the Challenger and Barracuda were already gone, the Mustang was shrunk to compact car, the Cougar was blown-up to personal luxury car, and the Camaro and Firebird came this close to being discontinued too. Discontinuing it was a smart move. Replacing factory capacity with the Pacer, however, may not have been a great move in hindsight. But I recently saw a Pacer in the Hershey AACA museum and realized something. It has aged incredibly well. Replace the bumpers and give the car a mild refresh and it would look not much different from a lot of cars on the road today. The Pacer was wide for it's time, but other cars have caught up to it. I didn't grow up seeing a lot of Pacers (the only Pacers I have any memories of are Packin's) so therefore I wasn't biased towards hating them outright. And when I saw it in Hershey and was able to get up close and |

If anything it would be the Mansinthe and Crystal Skull talking But seriously the man refused to shave off his mustache for the role and as the case with some roles the crap camp scripts that Lorenzo Semple Jr. approved An otherwise perfect character was neutered Whereas Sam Hamm with some re-writes from Warren Skaaren, Charles McKeown and Jonathan Gems treated the Joker the way Bill Kane did when he 1st wrote the character in the 1st issue of Batman way back in 1940 an intelligent psychopath as opposed to the crap camp versions from '50s and early '60s comics that influenced the TV series , heck even the 1943 and 1949 serials were more seriously written than the TV series And if I'm really being honest, I would place Heath Ledger after Kevin Michael Richardson as after his ranking the Joker became less intelligent and just more plain crazy [really just one dimensional, one note character ]Spencer:>} |

Now see, I never got into all of that. My first exposure to Batman was whizzing around in the 66 Barris Batmobile in the campy schtick farce that was the TV show...and for the most part that remains my "Batman." I understand it was originally a much darker story to tell, but somehow there's enough darkness in my life not to dwell in a dark serial...besides, back then if what you wanted was a dark serial, you watched Barnabus Collins in Dark Shadows. To each their own I guess, I love dark humor as much as anyone can, but to dwell there goes against my nature. I have yet to see Ledger's performance, and I'm not in any hurry to do so. Probably sheer coincidence, but it does make one wonder if something of the character rubbed off in a bad way at the end there. I do very much like Mark Hamill's portrayal in the cartoons, the vocalizations are awesome. But for me Batman will forever be Adam West and Burt Ward, their faithful servant Alan Napier, forever chasing after Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith, Ertha Kitt, Frank Gorshin and Vincent Price. |

Well I grew up on reruns of the TV show and still thoroughly enjoy it for what it is. But then I read masterpieces like The Dark Knight and Year One & Year Two by Frank Miller, The Joker's Five Way Revenge by Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams in Stacked Deck:The Greatest Joker Stories Ever Told Expanded Edition, The Killing Joke by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland and finally by picking up Batman The Dark Knight Archives hardcover which reprints Batman 1-4, I could only be directed towards the Tim Burton versions and Batman:The Animated series by Paul Dini Now I am by nature not a compleatly "dark" dude but a really big optimist, but when a creator designs a character to be a certain way-that's the way he should be portrayed. I agree of course on Hamill I am of the same mind on M*A*S*H, I 1st saw the TV show liked it, but then I saw the Robert Altman film and read the novel by Richard Hooker, I still like the TV show but just a little less compared to the film. Ditto on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory vs. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Spencer?:>} P.S.-I prefer John Astin to Frank Gorshin, but do like Vincent Price, Victor Buono, Roddy McDowell, Milton Berle, the rest of the campy guest stars especially the pinnacle of camp Liberace. |
