He definitely got the looks to portray Joker....but his voice and laughter are way too deep and scary. The whole character would've changed and thus the movie wouldn't be what it is today. Joker has always been portrayed with some sort of a high-pitched voice and laughter. Nicholson has this explosive laughter and the perfect pitch to his voice. Curry's voice is deeper; he laughs in a deep, coarse and monotone way, making it ideal for a nightmarish evil assassin...not much for the clown prince of crime.

I always say: "Things are how they are cuz they couldn't have been any other way".
