Batman: The Joker (Jack Nicholson)

How about an unsatisfying category because his death was appalling

Not Quite Dead is like, you think they die, but they survive, and then they die later. The "Not Quite Dead" refers to Batman knocking the Joker over the edge, but he survives, however he later falls to his death after the gargoyle thing.

How unsatisfying can any death scene for the Joker be? I seem to remember him being immortal in the animated series, even if they do kill him off in Batman Beyond (I guess almost immortal).

I found this to be a great death for the Joker. Quite frankly normally I don't really like a villain dying via falling but there's just so much drama in this scene I found it spectacular.

Also to Mr. Briggs Inc., that "glasses" scene I think is also in the original release. I just rented it and just before Batman sends that final punch that sends the Joker rocketing over the edge he puts them on and remarks, "You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses would ya?" (If I made the movie I would've had Batman retort: "No, actually I would."

Also to the writer of this death what do you mean by a few of Joker's thugs? I only remember him fighting one guy. This sunglasses-wearing Japanese thug whom he throws down the bell shaft after a brutal fistfight that the Joker could only dream of even putting up.

The henchman was actually black and he was the third henchman in the belltower. The first one has knives on his shoes and Batman punches him in the crotch and knocks him out. The second is the big bald guy who always carried the Joker's boombox; this guy mistimes a jump and goes through the floor.

I'm kind of thinking revenge for killing batman's parents

After the third joker thug who beats batman badly and throws of the bell tower batman comes back wraping his legs around the guy's
neck and smacks his head of the bell and throwing him down the bell tower.

And come on all those punches he gave batman couldn't off hurt him I mean batman can't feel that
with all that armour on but it must of hurt when he whacked batman around the head maybe not there's probably armour around batman's
head as well in case he gets shot in the head by a bad guy any after fighting three bell tower joker thugs he's into the main showdown and
he has to battle the joker the main villain of the movie batman gives the joker a few beatings throwing him through wooden walls
and the joker gets come uppings and gets only one punch to batman's stomach witch bounches back hurting the joker's hand batman hits
him back knocking him off gotham cathedral.

I think that ending is superb, but I did always wonder what the feeling of the film might be like the joker had fell to his death laughing. For example, in "the dark knight" the moment we think Heath Ledger is going to fall to his death, he falls laughing, and it adds a very scary element to the character. However, i think this is where the original Batman has an equally dark side, because even as Nicholsons joker falls to his death screaming he still has time to turn on his bag of laughs.

You can see that modern day representation pays respect to the jokers immortality within the world of Batman Comic Books; where as the initial Batman film shows it's age with "bad guy's die in the end". Tim burton took batman INTO film, where as modern day creators live to emulate comic book within the medium of film, while still paying huge heritage to comic book ideals.

I dont think there should be an unsatisfactory category on this simply because it wasn't unsatisfactory.

Bye Jack

GRAB BAG? Batman improvised by using the gargoyle.

IRONIC? The last words the joker said were "Sometime I Just [i]kill[i] myself!"
