In Reply to: classic cases of miscasting posted by ishmael on February 26, 2002 at 12:04:16:
Many people feel that Nicholson stole the show in BATMAN, but as someone who has read a fair number of Batman comics, my opinion is that this was a dreadful miscasting and really ruined the movie for me. One of the trademarks of the comic book Joker was that he was always tall and skinny. Nicholson obviously doesn't qualify, and I found his performance far less than compelling also.You could try to make a similar case for Danny De Vito as The Penguin in BATMAN RETURNS, but it would be a poor argument, I believe, because the problem with The Penguin in that film wasn't DeVito, it was the implementation of the character in the story. The Burgess Meredith character from the TV show was much better and more in keeping with the traditional comic book version of the Penguin. In BATMAN RETURNS, we are treated to a bunch of symbolism centered around a gross and unappealing character. Artistic crap.
