Obligatory "Joker should be retired out of respect for Heath Ledger" comment.

Even though the Joker is an iconic(Yes, Ubisoft, take note, This is how you should use ICONIC) character, he must be retired because the actor died. Followed by abusive comments to those who disagree and complaining about disrepect then followed by something else, i don't know, i don't pay attention to things like these. What do you want from me?

I didn't like Dark Knight Joker.

I liked Heath Ledger and his portrayal but I didn't like the writing for the character. Felt off. Not... batty enough.

I just didn't like the Dark Knight in general.

I agree, Union. That Joker, erm... not really what i would view as the Joker. Just came off as a guy in clown makeup and erm..... that's about it. Needed more jokes, more deadly gags and well, for a character called Joker, there wasn't really that much joking. Joker gas could have been a viable option, because, science and gags are well, Joker is known for using deadly clown terrority jokes, toys and gags. Not even his acid flower made an appearance. Shame Batman 89 killed off it's Joker(Granted, if they were going down the Joker Immunity route, it probably would have ended with the 3rd Burton film having him come back, somehow) but this Joker? erm....... not really feeling a outright insane and wants to watch the world burn vibe from him. Just erm.. midily insane. Apart from the pencil trick, he didn't really do that many tricks.

Jared Leto has the potential to be the best joker of this century. It comes down to the writing and if the Tim Drake theory is revealed to be true, it would be a very well down twist. It would be interesting seeing that show up without any warning. But we get Harley at last! :D And I know i shouldn't make this comment but damn, she is sexy. Not that i've got several Harley related backgrounds and paused during the latest trailer for investigating hidden details around her body reasons. *shifty eyes*( seriously, we should have that as a smiley)

Ehhh...nnnnooo, I'm going to have to disagree with you, there, TSD. Michael Clarke Duncan died in 2012, but that doesn't mean that if there's another movie adaptation of The Green Mile, John Coffey should cease to exist as a character. Many people have acted out Shakespeare's plays, and many Shakespearean actors have died--to retire a character because an actor died, I would interpret more as an insult to the character and creator, rather than respect to a deceased actor. Stars may die, but the stories they helped to shape will live on, evolving and improving over time.

...I am not looking forward to Suicide Squad. Not going to qualify that statement much, just...not fond of the aesthetic, the vision they're going for.

He put skittles and m&ms in the same bowl. How do we know where he starts and The Joker ends?

I don't care about Suicide Squad, or any movie DC is making for that matter. But I will say this, Harley should break up with Joker and get with Posion Ivy.
So we have come to solve every squabble in the village personally?

THE MADMAN! DOES HE KNOW THAT THEY ARE NOT TO MIX!? *Cries*

Either Sucide Squad was meant to be a lighter DC film all along and it's just poor marketing that is making it seem DC went "Oh, right, Marvel make millions with their colourful films." or they are reacting to Marvel and changing it just because they want to have the same success as Marvel. Apparently, they have filmed or just started filming extra scenes for SS. Please let this be false or part of something else that they have planned as this doesn't bode well. That said, if i have a jurb by then, i am totally seeing it. Mmm, Harley Quinn Suicide Squad.

I've been thinking: Wouldn't it be better if empty chests in Skyrim were not labelled empty from outside? Like the post above?

No. But you can mod the game to make it such, and see how much more time you waste checking empty containers.

Immersion wise? Yes. Gameplay wise? No. It would be rather annoying if one had fought through an entire ruin just to find the chest they found was empty.

Almost as annoying as fighting through an entire (large section of a) ruin just to find that there isn't even a chest there in the first place. (*cough*The Grand Stair in Norenen-dur*cough*)

I see, as if:-

Citizen: Hey Dragonborn, I just got notice of an ancient ruin with a 10,000 year old chest within it.
Dragonborn: *goes into dungeon to search for the chest* Aah! It's nothing!
Citizen: ooh! I forgot to mention that the chest is empty.

Hmm, calls for a meme:

and a test:
Spoiler:
You crawl down the dungeon to find a chest marked 'empty'. What do you do?

Chest
*Empty

how many of you opened the chest?

Btw, quick question. If you place an empty chest into an even bigger empty chest, is the chest still empty or not. Well is it? Is it?!
