Batman Begins hints that the Joker will be the sequel's public enemy No. 1. Should director Christopher Nolan go for it or leave Tim Burton's 1989 evil-carnival vision alone?
TIM STACK SAYS GO: ''Excellent spunk, Nolan. Reinventing the Joker is daunting, but you can do it. Forget Jack Nicholson (above). Enter new territory with someone edgy and talented—maybe Peter Sarsgaard or Guy Pearce. But keep it real: no purple clown costume or bright green hair. ''
WHITNEY PASTOREK SAYS NO: ''No one who ever owned Batman Jams wants Nicholson's iconic Joker to become irrelevant. With his dagger-faced smile and toy-shop panache, he'll forever rule as the Clown Prince of Crime. Wanna dance with the devil in the pale moonlight? That's why DVD exists.''
