I really hope they stop multiplying villains in sequels. each villain should have his own shot
at a movie. Unless they have a brilliant way to tie two villains together they should be left
alone. The mixture of twoface and the joker was well done because twoface wasn't the
character everyone emotionally invested in. Harvey Dent was. And he wasn't really a 'villain'.
I think I made an argument before (and other people probably have) that the Riddler makes sense as a villain if he's turned into a serial killer, and not some silly guy in tights who does way too much coke.
But the Riddler could work as a serial killer, but I'm not convinced Depp would be good in the role, sometimes he is too over the top for me, and it would be hard to reign him in. The riddler would have to be very dark and i cant see depp pulling it off
But I agree with Sam about turning him into a serial killer, Jim Carey's Riddler was idiotic at best, just some fruit loop in tights who looked zonked out on coke most of the time.
For Caine's remarks? I think he is feeding rumours but they are good ones. Not the Cher or Stallone in Dark Knight.
Oh BTW, I don't Like Dark Knight Returns as the title, it seems overdone too much with "Returns" in the title (like "Superman Returns", "Batman Returns", etc…). How about the "Dark Knight: The Caped Crusader" sounds dark and awesome. Well thats my opinion.
the caped crusader seems a bit much for nolanverse. TDK the novel was such an icon, that
nolan definitely knew what he was doing when he decided to use the same title. I just hope
the next sequel doesnt go for the dark knight strikes again. LOL
vengeful), and PSH is equally ranged but he has to be pretty damn dedicated to his
role.
I'm kind of curious what it would look like if for one, they replaced Heath with Paul
Bettany or Daniel Day Lewis. I know the latter of the two is a little old, but I'm
convinced he can play anything and Paul Bettany is pretty underrated out there and
to my understanding, he was the first one to cross Nolan's mind as the Joker's role.
And we all know the Joker SHOULDN'T be finished, but I mean if he is, that's fine
too, I guess.
Also, I'd like to see someone like Black Mask, he's twisted and psychotic, perhaps
almost as much as the Joker.
Finally, I would not be too disappointed if they got Angelina Jolie for Catwoman
even though that is also a rumor. I know sometimes the big names can get in the
way, but I feel like the strong cast has a huge influence... and plus like the studio
says, they need to top Heath some way and somehow.
I also presume watching Nolan's Batman, we are not children anymore which was a period in our life when we used to pull the ponytails of and fight with our younger (or elder) sister unconscionably and carelessly. Atleast I, as a grown up man, would not like to see an angry, vicious Batman beating the hell out of a hapless Female Villain. Females are meant to be loved and respected and NOT beaten and fought with even if they are villains(Catwoman, Talia-al-Ghul, Harley Quinn,...).
As somebody said, If any villain fits perfectly in the Nolan's world it is THE BLACK MASK who is dirty, dark and evil enough with no jokes. And also I would like to see justice done to the character of Batman-Back-Breaker Bane who was wronged so horrifically in the dust-bin movie Batman & Robin. Also (if possible) Mr. Freeze should be done again. If not in the 3rd then in the 4th Part if Nolan or any other competant director comes at the helm of Batman 4. Because The Black Mask deserves a place in a Batman movie.
If Poisen Ivy-Alicia Witt
If Riddler- Johnny Depp
If Catwoman- Shannyn Sossamon, Rachel Weisz, Olivia Wilde, or Connie Nielsen
