A few off the wall, but interesting choices for the next Joker:


Come on - you know that "grin" of his is PURE EVIL!


There's few roles this guy couldn't handle...and he's make a great nemesis for Bale's Batman.

parfait!

RockStrongo

Yeah, I can see him doing it....hes tall and thin....he could wear dark deep purple clothes (slightly dirty/dusty) with the white makeup and his hair messed up (down in his face sorta). No green hair though, unless its subtle.

As far as personality, he could be humorous, but not over the top. Dry humor that counteracts his over the top style/look.

Just my interpretation.

Don't flatter yourself. You can come here and check my history folder and see that I never clicked that link.

I was thinking Johnny Depp could be the Riddler.

that Mouth of Sauron guy. (or would he be too old?)

I'm trying to see him in the role and he would definately meet the "creepy" quotient in the way that you have described him. I have'nt seen enough of him to assess his acting chops though. He was outstanding in The Pianist but abysmal in The Village. Other than those two films I've not seen him in anything. Have you seen him elsewhere?

Johnny depp has both the "Creep" and the "Cool" going for him though. I think I've seen everything he's done and can easily see him taking this role even beyond its "Nicholsonian" heights.

RockStrongo

Yeah, thats possible

My post was only less than 20 minutes before your thread

Coincidence? I think not.

RockStrongo

Acting-wise? Im not sure if Brody could do it. Probably, since he is an academy award winner, but like you, I havent seen him in enough.

I saw the Pianist and Village also.

Josh H

He was very good in Son of Sam and The Jacket.

I like the suggestions of Glover and Depp,either one of those would be a great choice IMO.

PopcornTreeCt

Well, to be honest, I did steal the Adrian Brody suggestion but from another message board on a totally different website.

If you proclaim to have first made the suggestion, why not start a new thread about it?

RockStrongo

Ive already had phone conversations with Nolan. We are working with his agent on the details right now.

Jaymole

I just thought of someone who would make a GREAT Joker...Adrian Brody!!!

Dr. DVD

Brody would be good, especially if they went with his origin being similar to the one in The Killing Joke ( I was kind of hoping for a red hood cameo in this one).

Cillian Murphy could have done a good job, but he is already Scarecrow.

Joe Molotov

Mark Hamill, all the way.

RockStrongo

Nah, he could play 2 face though.

Whoever they do choose, Nolan & Company will have plenty of great existing stories to choose from. I hope they take a cue from Batman: TAS and try to adapt one or more of the great Joker stories from the comics.

chess

Compromise:

Adrian Brody with Mark Hamill doing the looping.

RockStrongo

I think as someone else said in this thread or the Batman review thread, the villain character shouldnt take away from Batman.

Hopefully, if they choose a big name actor, the role still is smaller than Batman.

IMO, they shouldn't choose a big name. Plus, I hate Leo

and the whole Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes thing will just be too weird. While watching it, I was already thinking he was going to pop out and start debating Dr. Chase about the effectiveness of psychiatry.

jdumbjokes

I totally agree. Why would you want some dumb actor like Leonardo Di Caprio or Adrian Brody. They should just find some unknow actor to fill the role. Plus, I hate actors.

pdinosaur

ok. i'm in. i will accept the role of joker. but i demand my own trailer. and a bowl of green m&ms.

Good choice.

I also think DiCaprio could do a really good job aswell. Slap that famous makeup on him, and Leo would be unrecognizable. So his looks wouldn't get in the way.

ShagMan

Agree definitely!
