Fuck Superman. I want Hardy in another Nolan flick.

Too bad it's a little early for Jean Paul Valley to make an appearance. I think he'd make a great Azreal.

.....I'd rather not have Azrael.

Michael Fassbender would have made a good Zod as well.

Regarding this film, I am very happy with this news and I also think he'll end up being The Riddler.

Also...he's in Layer Cake (best Brit Crime of more recent years...fuck The Bank Job). He's nothing amazing in it but he's still good and subdued. He's also in RocknRolla. He plays a side character but the way it's handled is very calmly and professionally done. I was surprised by the character's depiction not being annoying.

Hmm, I saw RocknRolla. Must not have paid attention to him since I didn't really care for that movie.

I'll try and check out Bronson.

Loved him in this...fuck Mad Max, I want more Nolan and Hardy. I'd love to get a film directed by Nolan w/ a cast consisting of Hardy, Bale, Caine, Oldman, Eckhart, Gordon-Levitt, Pearce (especially Guy fucking Pearce), Cotillard, and Jackman. I kid you not...I'd implode out of what I'd call one of the strongest cast of actors ever.


Get Daniel Day-Lewis, Blanchett, Swinton..and I kid you not..my filmmaking side would orgasm quicker than my childish love for The Expendables could ever muster.

I was thinking of what villian he could play and BAIN came to mind.
Put a wrestling mask on him and he looks the part.

....that means nothing. also..it's Bane not Bain. A guy wearing a mask and you think Tom Hardy for some reason can do that part just cuz he's still a bit built and can act?

WHY should he be Bane, besides just randomly putting a Luchador mask on him?

seriously? why are you feeding our resident troll?

Cuz I want him to explain as to why he'd want Hardy cast beyond putting a Luchador mask. It may not be common..but sometimes...SOMETIMES...he talks sense.

whatever role Hardy is playing, i'm glad he's in it

Close - Nemesis. I know it's hard to keep those two TNG masterpieces straight. :)

I didn't even realize it until I looked it up but I knew the voice.

That would be pretty lame if they are going to do Killer Croc, but won't do Superman because of the "realism."

So long as it's an extended subplot, like what Batman does during his exile as opposed to the main bad guy, it would work.

He would certainly make a great Batman villain.

It makes no sense though. Why would 'Batman' be in hiding in a different area of the country unless Wayne was outed? Wouldn't Bruce Wayne just not dress up as Batman anymore, unless absolutely needed?

A couple of other thoughts:

1.) I believe Nolan could adapt a lot of characters very easily into his world. Killer Croc could just be some random maniac who wrestlers with crocs. Think of a more extreme version of Zsasz.

2.) Begins and TDK both spend a lot of time focusing on the mob in Gotham. This is why Bruce became Batman in the first place, not because of the supervillians. I doubt Nolan will drop the storyline, and as of the end of TDK the mob is in disarray. Maybe this is where another supervillian or comic mob boss comes into play to try and run one Gotham mob. Maybe the mob recruits Croc to hunt Batman.

3.) Begins and TDK also have scenes that take place outside of Gotham, so it's quite possible the third movie will as well.

"Batman's messed with us for the last time! Recruit the Crocodile Hunter!" :lol:

No offense, but I think that's a dreadful route to go for Croc. I think Dark Knight pretty much paved the way to move away from the mob and into the super villains.

Does he look like a run-of-the-mill mob hitman to you?

I agree that the mob hiring Killer Croc isn't too hot, but I don't think the mob is gone; as mentioned, it was the catalyst for Batman and would come back strong if Batman is in exile.

In general, I think Killer Croc is lame and they should just do the Black Mask/Penguin/Riddler or perhaps Talia if it's to be a fully-ending arc.
