The Dark Knight Rises Casting Call (All Villains)

[Texas Zombie]

I say Christian Slater for black mask.

No Depp in the Batman films. I'm not knocking him I just think he wouldn't fit and none of that "people thought Heath wouldn't fit," stuff either. I just haven't seen Depp do a role that's really close to any of the batman villians. And Nolan isn't interested in Riddler, I thought. Sadly, he might not even be interested in any more batman movies in general. And if so, I hope, futilessly, that WB wouldn't pick up some hack director to hash out a third one, ala Ratner. I know Bale wouldn't be on if they did, as well as a couple of other actors.

Umm, what roles have Aaron Eckhart or Heath Ledger had that is remniscent of Two-Face or Joker.
And how do you know Nolan isn't interested in anymore Bat-films? And even if he wasn't, what makes you think that WB will be satisfied with BB and TDK only when they can make more money off the franchise again?
And how do you know what Bale or the other couple of actors would do?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, didn't mean to set it off or anything. Let's see. I know from many of the interviews Bale said that if Nolan isn't involved he won't be involved. There are just strong rumors that Nolan might not come back, now that Heath is dead and all. He stated he wasn't going to do any of the wackier villians in any of his movies, like penguin, catwoman or riddler. And again, I'm not knocking Depp. And I do have to take back some of what I said. He has played very different roles before like Sweeney Todd or Once Upon a Time In Mexico. My favorites from him are Fear and Loathing and Ed Wood. I really want Daniel-Day Lewis and Javier Bardem to be in Nolan's batmovies, I just can't see them working with specific characters either. That's all I was saying with Depp.

 

[Episode29]

I'd love to see Timothy Spall as Mad Hatter. Just tone down the mind control stuff and play up the sinister pedophile material.

But then, I'm a bit strange.

When was Jervis a pedophile?

 

[Dark Victory]

Domin West: Black Mask

Every time I see Jigsaw, I see Black Mask.

Michael Shannon: The Joker

Go watch Bug. He can play a psycho.

 

[Kakihara]

The only ones left I could see possibly working for Nolan are:

Black Mask
Deadshot
The Great White Shark
Rupert Thorne
The Huntress(seriously, go read Greg Rucka's Huntress miniseries)

And I'll always want the ventriloquist and Scarface as well as Bruce Timm and Paul Dini's reimagining of Mr. Fries done in a film with a fair bit of dignity.

 

[Episode29]

When was Jervis a pedophile?

Well, okay, he's not a true pedophile. He's not picking up 6 year olds. But his obsession over young girls is questionable...

 

[Laderlappen]

Wait, wait here...I picked her based on the movies that I have seen her in. One is Doomsday where she was an ass kicking female hero. I don't know if you have noticed but there aren't many beautiful ass kicking actresses out there that haven't already been tied to a major character. She hasn't and from what I have seen she is a pretty good actress but her role in Doomsday is a character who has to be stone cold and an unsuspecting badass. She is swift with her movement, delivers lines well and has the Selina look. "...you don't even think can act." Never said that in my posts just said I wasn't sure and that I haven't seen enough yet but go ahead go on your big monologue again and tell me how crazy I am. People in posts pick alot of characters based on look. Chris Nolan might not but even he cast Katie Holmes in his movie. So we disagree but don't be the guy that bashes people for picking someone that could play the character.

Ok, now I respect your choice. If you think she's a good actress you have a reason. I dont bash somebody for suggesting an actress I dont agree with, I bash somebody who suggest an actress they dont even think is good. You sounded like you were one of them.

You say there aren't many asskicking women in hollywood. What she did in Doomsday, any good actress can do. Kick ass on screen is very easy to do if you're a good actress. You just put on a cool and sexy costume, make your hair all wild and Rock n Roll, look badass and cool, and maybe have a little training on the side. Then you have Amy Adams and Ellen Page kicking the $hit outta people.

While some of your choices wouldn't be my first choice a lot of your suggestions are and I can't really find fault with any of them.

Nolan's a fool to not do at least one more batfilm. Im sure he's ready to get on to new things and try to win an oscar or whatever, but he'll probably never reclaim the success he's had with these past two films.

 

[Sawyer]

^In the "Johnny Depp Talks Riddler Rumors" thread, someone suggested Depp for the role of the Scarecrow. It's only a matter of time before he is suggested for Catwoman.

He could pull it off.

Dude just take it easy, chill. Nolan has not ruled Batman 3 out yet and until he does you shouldn't start thinking that way. And yeah I agree he would be a fool to turn down all that money and the success he's had with the two bat-films, but don't twist his words.

Ohh... I like. Particularly Durand and Serkis. Andy Serkis would make a perfect Mad Hatter. Plus, hes worked with Nolan on The Prestige.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I've just watched RocknRolla and i gotta give a shout out for my man Toby Kebbel, a relative unknown who has just put in a performance to rival Heaths IMO. he plays Johhny Quid, a crack-head, nihilist rock-star who is deffinatly up there with Joker in the crazy stakes. I think he would be a perfect replacement for Heath if they re-cast Joker. I'll try to look up some pictures of him.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Here he is....... it's not the best picture, its the only half decent one i could find.

oh yea how could i forget, he also likes to use a pencil to kill people!!! coincidence?!?!!?!

 

[sabetoonth]

heah has any one thought of casting a black guy as croc since he is a black guy, i dint know alot of black actors other than like mcd

 

[Sawyer]

Anyone who thinks someone should replace Heath in the sequel is...

 

[Kakihara]

^ qft.

 

[marukisu]

...

 

[SPIDERMAN117]

This idea has been pondering through my mind for the longest. I dont know how well you guys might take to this suggestion but how about Mark Hamill for a replacement for Heath if anyone decided to do that?

nope Hamill has a awesome Joker voice but cant see him actaully playing the Joker at his age

 

[Cunning Stunts]

Honestly, with Bane, why does everyone think we need a big actor to play him? As long as the actor's got the physique, movie-magic could make the actor look bigger than those he's around. LOTR, anyone?
