The Tale of Two Jokers Part II - Interview with Safire (Flames of Blue)

I talked with this cutie in blue with the same lines of questions about The Joker Comparisons. She goes by the name of Safire.
She's able to shoot blue flames (natural gas?), fly and heal quickly.

E.T. How do you feel about Heath Ledger now being dead and not being able to play the joker anymore?

Safire: It's definitely a shame that Heath Ledger is gone. He was an excellent actor and his portrayal of the Joker was really well done.

E.T. If you thought the Dark Knight Joker was great, do you think anyone could do just as well performance-wise in the next Dark Knight?

Safire: While I'm sure there are other actors who could do a great job as the Joker, I'd prefer if they didn't bring back the character. There are plenty of other enemies that can be used in future Batman movies. Harley Quinn would've been cool to team up with the Joker, but with Ledger gone, I wouldn't do anything with either of those villains.

E.T. How does Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson; please compare and contrast.

Safire: What I liked about Ledger's Joker is that he played it so differently than Nicholson's Joker. Nicholson was really entertaining as the Joker, but was a lot less serious and had some great interactions with his underlings. Ledger seemed to be misunderstood and not diving into another Joker origin story (that would attempt to humanize him) was a great idea. It allowed him to just be a supervillain.

There you have it, straight from Safire! "Extinguishing crime one flame at a time!"
