The Joker’s face is white, why would it be racist to portray BO as the Joker? I haven’t seen the movie but I am supposing that the Joker is especially evil in the movie? Maybe it’s not racisst and just means BO is an evil joker. Joker as in, says one thing, means another.
Oh yeah, you could say that. Evil, lying, stealing, murdering, plotting. I highly recommend "The Dark Knight." Great movie, and Ledger is superlative as The Joker. Every scene with him is just fantastic, and he is truly scary in that role.
So viscerally evil that
- Jack Nicholson, who played The Joker in a prior Batman movie and who does "evil" like no other actor, warned Heath Ledger to NOT take the part for his own mental well-being
- Heath Ledger got so into the part others were deeply concerned for him, culminating in his suicide.
