Came across this nice little mash up. It is a combination of footage from The Dark Knight and from Tim Burton's Batman . It takes Joker footage, featuring both Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson. Regardless of which you prefer, this is a nice edit of the two.

Any Seinfeld fans out there? Had a reference call today. Patron said a couple of Seinfeld episodes have made an obscure Jack Nicholson reference: "You smell bad. Real bad." (Or something close to that.) Anyone know what movie Nicholson originally said that in?

Countless articles were written about " The Dark Knight "'s weekend at the box office. But amid the bat-mania we noticed something else lurking within the Buzzâ"a near across-the-board increase in lookups for actors from past Batman flicks. The biggest jump belonged to Jack Nicholson who played the Joker in the 1989 film, "Batman." Interest in the man with the sinister grin surged an impressive 461%....

BBC correspondent Stephen Robb gives it a noble effort , which leaves him looking “something like Jack Nicholson’s The Joker with a lobotomised, vacant look in the eyes.” He could probably use some help from Amy Walker, too: Related on World Hum: * The State of Regional Dialects and Accents: “Hahvahd Yahd” is Here to Stay

It was no surprise The Dark Knight blew its competition out of the water! Debuting with over $155 million tickets sold, this is the highest debut to date this year. The Dark Knight was very different from the second Batman movie with Jack Nicholson, very gritty. In my eyes, Heath Ledger was a better joker [...]

I just got back from the "Dark Knight" and there are not words to describe how good it was. And Heath Ledgers Joker may be the craziest, scariest performance of all time. I used to think that nobody did crazy as well as Jack Nicholson but my mind has been changed. We are all the poorer for having lost such a colossal talent. I wait all year for the summer movies. And many times I have been disappointed....

Post your thoughts about The Dark Knight here. Is it a good genre film? Is it a good film, period? Is Batman an asshole? Is Heath Ledge less overrated than Jack Nicholson? While things like "Something happens to Harvey Dent"...

As audiences around the world are discovering today, the late Heath Ledger has taken the iconic Joker character in The Dark Knight to entirely new depths of emotion and complexity. Personally, I feel like he's bested Jack Nicholson's long-held title by far, but some might consider that apples to oranges (Tim Burton vs Christopher Nolan, after all). Either way, it's hard to argue that Ledger hasn't...

I’m set to see The Dark Knight Batman movie tonight with my girlfriend. She surprised me with the tickets this afternoon. SHE’S THE GREATEST!!!

Last week I watched my DVD copy of one of my favorite movies, Stanley Kubrick's version of The Shining , featuring one of my favorite actors, Jack Nicholson, playing the role of Jack Torrance. Yes, I know it is not exactly faithful to the Stephen King novel of the same name; King himself commissioned his own miniseries version of The Shining in 1997, and a very nicely done miniseries at that. But the...

In 1989, Tim Burton and his controversial cast of Michael Keaton (not thought to be very Batman-esque) and Jack Nicholson (thought to be a bit over the top to play the humble villain of the Joker) brought the DC Comics® comic book hero turned tv show hero to the big screen in what turned out to be a great summer blockbuster that spawned three sequels: • Batman Returns--new villains: Catwoman (Michelle...
