04-01-2006, 09:52 PM
Frankly, I don't need to hear the riddle me this/that line. I'd rather see the Riddler kind of reimagined as something too sinister for silly quips.

There's a Poirot mystery called the ABC Murders, about someone sending him letters that warn of impending murders and challenge him to stop them. The crimes seemed random but were actually intricate in their design. I always thought it'd be great to see Batman up against someone that meticulous and inhumane, killing only for the sake of pride in stumping him (even though ABC winds up being quite different from that in the end).

For such a criminal, my choice is Malcovich. An intense, quiet Riddler with a subdued exterior that masks a genius raped by madness. Who else could perform such a man as effortlessly?

-- END!

Keyser Sushi
04-01-2006, 10:51 PM
Yeah Jason Isaacs as Freeze would own all. I do like Ribisi for Riddler... I like Hugo Weaving but I can't think of what Bat villain he could play. He's a really intense guy. I think there's a role for him, but damn if can think of it right now...

I like that, in concept. Although I fear that any movie about Freeze that doesn't focus solely on him would not do him the justice that he deserves (assuming of course that they were going with the Paul Dini Freeze, the only one that doesn't suck).

If you don’t mind a race change, Chiwetel Ejiofor might be interesting.

Nothing wrong with a race change. :up:

Ejiofor would look extremely badass in a green suit and bowler hat.

Yeah, I can see that. Definitely. He'd probably pull it off better than most white guys could. Especially with the purple tie and kato mask.

Funny thing, though - I bet a Nolan Riddler wouldn't wear question marks, or a loud suit. No practical reason for it. The Riddler's a threat because of his superior intellect. His brain is not dependant on his threads. No matter how smooth they are...

Great choice for the Riddler and you never know - Norton may be swayed by obvious quality Nolan (and the rest of the cast) brings to the table.

Plus, Norton isnt as serious as everone thinks - one of his favourite films is '40 year old virgin'!

I agree with the earlier point made about Hugo Weaving too. After seeing 'V' - he's got the talent and certainly the verbal dexterity to craft an amazing performance.

Both great choices. :up:

Malkovich is my top choice for Dr. Hugo Strange, they probably won't use the character, but they should, he was one of Batman first villians, and i just think that seeing him on screen would be amazing.

and Depp as the Riddler, i could see happening, and working very well. But However Norton and Goldblum are my top choices for that role.
and Depp is still my number one choice for The Joker. alot of people don't like the idea, saying that he is too big a name blah blah blah.
who cares, i think he is one of the only actors out there today that truely becomes every character he plays. He doesn't look like the classic comic book Joker, but niether does Bettay.

I think the fact that Hugo Weaving is already tied into 4 comic book type Sci-fi movies might disuade him, and WB from making him the riddle

i was on the other hand imagining him uttering...riddle me this, riddle me that, answer me this, the big bad bat...

that could be cool, i agree, i like it, i doubt it will happen though

Hugo Weaving would make a great Riddler.

This is an absolute goldmine idea! I agree. Sure, he's had a couple of roles that will identify him for his whole career, but he hasn't reached Depp, Cruise, Robin Williams type of status (which is a good thing). He can still be a great character actor w/o people still thinking of his other roles. Plus, I think he has an edge to his acting style that I LOVE. He's very underappreciated and he would fit riddler well.

...you know what (now that my minds running circles), I'm not saying this would ever happen, (and i know we don't NEED another movie w/this villain) but I would bet hard $ Hugo would play a dynamite Freeze!!

Think about it, he's already got the bellowing deep voice, and we know he can play great stoic figures (mr. smith). plus, we also know he can act well with glasses on, which is a difficult task all its own.

Hyde Pierce is an interesting choice for Riddler! Sure, he was funny on Frasier but we honestly wouldn't have to worry about him hamming it up for this role (thanks jim carrey). I think he play the 'serious psycho' genius well. Good idea.

I could definitely see Weaving as The Riddler... IF he ever were used in the new Bat-franchise. Just like we´re about to see the first truly tragic Two-Face on the big screen, to finally see a cold and intellectual Riddler instead of the clownesque Frank Gorshin thing would be great.

Monday, April 24, 2006 - 5:50 AM CENTRAL TIME: Hey y'all, Jett here. It seems that there is some buzz again about Hugo Weaving (THE MATRIX, V FOR VENDETTA) possibly getting some run as The Joker. Weaving's name has been mentioned previously for the role, then those rumors quickly subsided. Now they have returned over this past week and weekend. More on this and a few other things later.

I think he´d be a better Riddler. There might be some lobbying for him, but his casting would go against Nolan´s preference for a non-famous actor. Weaving got pretty famous after the Matrix and LOTR trilogies.

Weaving as Joker? I could dig it. He can play a intence psycho, see Matrix, with a dramatic flair, see V For Vendetta, so why not? He's a 'known' actor but so big as to overshadow Bale. It can work.

ultimatefan
04-24-2006, 10:17 AM
I can see him playing the part, I´m just inclined to go with Nolan´s idea of casting an unknown, someone who´ll disappear in the role. I have a feeling if you cast someone famous, it becomes a "battle of the stars" with Jack Nicholson, and no one will equal him in that aspect... The best chance for me is someone who disappears in the character in a way you don´t see the star, you see Joker.

TheFalcon
04-24-2006, 10:55 AM
I don't want Weaving as the Joker. He is too well known now and his face doesn't really match the Jokers. I'm hoping for Hulme or Bettany.

Thanks for the credit. I personally think he'd be awesome. Him or Sam Neil.

As for Weaving, no. I just don't see him as The Joker. For starters, he's a little too old, plus he's too well known thanks to already being in another comic book movie. He's also not lanky like The Joker should be. If I recall, he's actually a pretty muscular actor. Not right for Joker. Great actor, though.

I don't want Weaving as the Joker. He is too well known now and his face doesn't really match the Jokers. I'm hoping for Hulme or Bettany.

He is like the real life incarnation of Alex Ross' Joker which IMO, is P-E-R-F-E-C-T. But as far as being "well known". He's not really. To us fanboys, sure. To the average person, even after having himself cloned a bajillion times in the matrix movies, he's still not that well known. I love him for Joker, Bettney is equal to him IMO. Hulme? No. No. never. nunca.

As far as patrick stewart goes for freeze.......one comic book character per actor please. Which is why I'm against jackman as Dent. He'd be great and all......if he wasn't already Wolverine.

u might think of him as a great (i dont care for him) but theres is no way i can see him playing the joker- especially after all the huge movies/characters hes played in the past 7 years (ALL 3 Matrix, ALL 3 Lord of the Rings, V for Vendetta). and his voice is way too deep for joker (even if he tired changing it).

I like Weaving, but I don't like Alex Ross Joker.


Bettany I think would give us more of a TAS Joker which is by far the preferable route.

I still have to watch some of his movies. The library doesn't have Gangster No 1 so I cant get it for free :( I don't know if my rental place has it or not.

I do think he's a better idea that Weaving.

Weaving would be a much better Two Face or Mr Freeze than he would be Joker.

i agree with the people who think he would be a better riddler

i am in the bettany camp, but i also am in the camp that says, why not? with Hugo Weaving, he has proven that he can be a charasmatic figure, and an intimidating bad guy..if you put face paint on him, then in his big movies, 3 of them he was wearing dark glasses, 3 of them he had long hair pointy ears, and is not as recognized for that role as his others..in another big role for him he wore a mask, and if we where the joker, his face would be covered in paint..

point is, he isn't this screen time sucking big bucks actor, he has played insane, he has played charismatic, and when you watch him as joker the only other role you could possible think, is agent smith, and the only reason is because you want to think that to find a flaw with the actor...he isn't my frist choice, mine goo Depp, Bettany, and Hulme (i know there is little chance Depp gets it but i still hold out hope) but if Weaving gets it more power to him, and i think he will do good
