Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 I can easily visualize him in the role and I'm guessing they want to go a completely opposite direction with Joker from Jack's protrayal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NYU 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 Adrian Brody has the look for the Joker but that's it. You need more than just the look. To see how terrible Brody could be when he's trying to act eccentric, just rent The Village. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dandy 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 I think Paul Bettany is a fine choice, as well as Lachey Hulme, who says he is a HUGE fan from the comics. Robin Williams is dying to do the part, as he was approached to do the 89 film. But you know who has a good face for it? Hugo Weaving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vyce 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 Robin Williams is too old, fat, and over the top to play Joker. Maybe in a couple years they could throw a bunch of makeup on him and let him play the Penguin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest netslob Report post Posted July 21, 2006 i'd've gone with Crispin Glover. he looks the part and can play a psycho well (see the Willard remake). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 I dont know, I think after Brokeback sort of got him out there for an unconventional role, he'll throw himself into trying to make this dark and memorable typecast-shattering role. I trust Christopher Nolan quite a bit as far as casting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZGangsta 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 First of all 'very trusted source' is pretty much the same this as 'unfounded rumour.' Secondly, Heath Ledger is a great actor and can do a very wide variety of roles. But wait! Oh noes, he's relatively young and 'pretty' and was in that gay movie, so internet nerds start freaking out. Thirdly, the best casting rumour I heard was getting Michael Keaton to play Joker, that would kick ass. Actually, Crispin Glover would be my first choice, but Nolan knocked the first movie so far out of the park that I think choices he makes about the next one will be right.

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 "For months, gossip has been circulating who would play The Joker in the next Batman Begins sequel. It's definite that the next sequel will concentrate on The Joker and they're already throwing names around such as Steve Buscemi - Robin Williams - Lachy Hulme -Alexis Denisof – and Mark Hamill." WTF? "The next Batman Begins sequel?" Did I miss the first sequel to Batman Begins? I'm sorry, just can't see Ledger in the part and I don't buy it until a press release confirms it. "Oh noes, he's relatively young and 'pretty' and was in that gay movie, so internet nerds start freaking out." Oh yeah, the fact that there are at least half a dozen choices that seem to be a better fit means nothing, obviously. It's gotta be homophobia over an actor that isn't actually gay. Nevermind that other comic-adapted movie projects with stars and a director that actually are gay didn't really get any flack. Put me on the Crispin Glover bandwagon too, BTW. It's when we're making Jimmy Olsen gay for no reason or having a gay black robot to sell toys that people begin (rightfully) bitching up a storm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 Casting really depends on what direction you want to go with the character, and I'm not sure I've got a handle on that. The worst thing they could do is base the casting on what the character was like in his 2 previous live-action incarnations. And, dare I say it, he needs to be darker than the cartoon, so Hamill's out. Same goes for any other villian they might use in future movies. I really don't have a preference, so long as the person knows they're not being hired to do a Caesar Romero/Jack Nicholson impression. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 It's a given it's going to be a very dark portrayal--it has to be. It's just how dark we don't know. I suspect a major character is going to be killed though. Hopefully Rachel. Oh, and ZGangsta--I beg to differ that Nolan knocked it out of the park with *all* of the casting choices. Katie was lousy.
