Give Robin Williams a role - Page 2

Two-Face · 08-01-2010, 09:33 AM

Watched Insomnia last night on TV, Robin Williams gave a great performance. He can do a serious role.

Rodrigo90 · 08-01-2010, 09:35 AM

I watched it too. It was a cross between that and 100 scariest moments on E4

Two-Face · 08-01-2010, 09:41 AM

Yes I rather watch a Chris Nolan film... I wonder if Al Pacino would like to be in a Batman movie...

Rodrigo90 · 08-01-2010, 09:50 AM

I think that could be possible. He starred in Dick Tracy,so he isn't shy to star in a comic book movie. But Batman is a higher calibre than to be considered a CBM. I could see Al in it.

B.Layton Fan · 08-01-2010, 09:54 AM

Maxie Zeus or Ventriloquist...lol a live action Scarface.

Homer J. Fong · 08-01-2010, 10:37 AM

^I just thought of Ventriloquist too. Not a character that'll probably be in the third film, but that'd still be a good role for him.

I find him lame and Robin Willaims is better actor to play Him.

Optimus_Prime_ · 08-01-2010, 12:48 PM

Can Robin Williams do serious? Yes, yes he can, very well in fact. Though I tend to like casting choices which are a bit more inspired. If I ever saw him play a Batman villain, I don't think I could get over the fact that he was Robin Williams.

Closerframe · 08-08-2010, 08:54 PM

A doctor at Arkham, that's the most I'll give him.

zeptron · 08-14-2010, 10:03 PM

I can see him as Hugo Strange. But not Riddler. I wouldn't have minded him for that role back in his Mork and Mindy days, but I think he's too old now. The last thing I pictured Riddler is an almost 60 year old man and slightly overweight.

maenalus · 08-14-2010, 10:27 PM

There are so many Batman characters I could easily see Williams as. Even in the Nolanverse.

Just off the top off my head:

Dr. Death
Hugo Strange
Dr. Milo
Ventriloquist
Rupert Thorne
Killer Moth
Black Mask
Firefly
Deadshot

and for a none villain, Harvey Bullock.

Bat-Mite · 10-10-2010, 04:36 PM

He can definitely do dark roles, but I'm not sure if I'd want him as a main villain. Guess it would depend on the villain in question and what Nolan's vision for that villain is, though. But I'd prefer to see him in a smaller role. I do think he deserves to be in a Batman movie, though, after the way WB teased him with the Joker in '89 and then with Riddler in Forever.

El Payaso · 10-11-2010, 04:25 PM

^ You believe in Hollywood justice?

Bat-Mite · 10-12-2010, 10:38 PM

Believe in as in thinking it will happen? No, but one can hope.

El Payaso · 10-13-2010, 09:34 PM

I mean, do you want him to have a role because you like him as an actor or because of "the way WB teased him with the Joker in '89 and then with Riddler in Forever"?

Yes indeed. I actually think it's one of his best performances.

superherolegacy · 10-17-2010, 09:45 PM

Clock King, anyone?

Not me.

"The last thing I pictured Riddler is an almost 60 year old man and slightly overweight.

Why not? They did that with Nicholson's Joker? lol.
No, I don't want to see Williams running around in spandex either. I still think he was amazing in One Hour Photo. Just dont' see a need for him in the Bat films at this point.

Chris Wallace · 10-19-2010, 07:03 AM

I have always been and will always be a Williams fan, but that doesn't mean he should be involved in this project. Had they gone with him instead of Carrey 15 years ago I would've been thrilled. But 15 years have passed.

A big HELL NO for that one

El Payaso · 10-30-2010, 12:21 PM

I think Williams's best psycho role was in Law & Order SVU.

Two-Face · 10-30-2010, 02:55 PM

Hugo Strange or Ventriloquist suits him.

superhero · 11-01-2010, 11:45 PM

i think someone metion that he would make a great madd hatter.
