Cameron Monaghan's Performance as "THE JOKER"


Spectacular!.....I think that he is Absolutely Spectacular!
What does everyone else think ?

I think he's really good. In my opinion, he doesn't bring anything new to the Joker but he's like a mix of Nicholson, Hamill, and Ledger, which is cool.

I think he did a respectable Heath Ledger imitation.

While there was some HL in his performance, he had way more circus clown in him.
You didn't see much of that in HL's performance. (IMHO)

Hes cool altho I dont like the idea of Joker on this show at all its too early.

Too early? Batman won't show up, it's about Bruce and Gordon. People want to see why the villains became who they are, but we are watching why Bruce becomes Batman and tonight was a great example. If the villains couldn't become who they are before Batman then we would be watching Jim Gordon and just another detective show

But in every version of Batman so far, he did become Batman before the "super" villains appeared. That's actually a big point made in a lot of the comics and movies.

Yes I agree 100%!!!

Also with him being locked up it would make perfect sense that he gets released years later when Bruce is older to be the Joker.

But yes, brilliant performance! :)

YAWN. I thought he was terrible and hope he goes away again.

Well, with three separate film projects, and another season of Shameless, you get your wish. Happy?


Why do they give out letter jackets to marching band? It's not a sport! We all know it!

He overacts and puts on the 'crazy' thing too much. I hate how the writers are pandering the fabs, it could almost be fanfic at this point.

Adequate to good, and once or twice he really nailed it for a brief moment. As others have stated, he's doing a grab bag impression of all the Jokers so far. Which totally works for a tv show of this nature. Ridder and Penguin wern't that exciting when they started out either. Took the actors a season or two to get a handle on their characters. In time I think the kid is gonna be bloody brilliant.
