      This other video also reinforces the idea of him bring the Joker to life. His craziness as the Green Goblin also proves he can have that chaotic mentality for the Joker, so I'd say it isn't a coin toss, it's more than likely he is a perfect interpretation that has yet to be given the opportunity

      It was obviously long-long time ago. I would say, from Streets of Fire (1984) for example. But today it looks like wasted opportunity, because Willem is too old for such role. Even in last Spider-man he was cool, but too old, and Joker is not an old man in fact.
      But I'm pretty sure it will not stop studio to get him.

    Ever since I saw Willem's role as the Green Goblin in Spiderman, I always imagined him as the best actor to play the Joker simply because he has the best face and the facial characteristics, that evil laugh, and talent. This is truly a remarkable sculpting video. Your skills are unmatched and I watched every single millisecond from beginning to end. I hope this sparks his recruitment role as the Joker.

That may even be why they didn't let us see his face while he portrayed the goblin.
