The Dark Knight Rises Casting Call (All Villains)

[HUMANIMAL]

whats with all the rumors about eddie murphy and shia la beouf for the third one? that was a bad joke right???

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea man it was just some BS story that bored journalists cooked up.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Well Heath sure didn't look much like the Joker. And Toby Jones is a pretty good chameleon himself.

He meets the basic short and round requirements anyways. Just add a prosthetic nose and you're all set.

 

[Laderlappen]

Heath looked like the Joker to me. He was tall, skinny, and had a big smile.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea I thought Heath looked Joker-ish, with his big smile and pointy chin.

 

[WeaponXProject]

Good to see people like the Michael Sheen suggestion. I also am adding Adrian Brody to my list that Moviefan suggested.

 

[Cunning Stunts]

Heath looked like the Joker to me. He was tall, skinny, and had a big smile.

I thought the funniest part about this was that when he had his jacket off, you could see his arms were ripped with muscle.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

You can be skinny and muscly. He probably didn't have a ounce of fat on him. Like Guy Pearce, he is like a skinny little twig, but he is toned and muscly.

 

[Killing Joke926]

Terry Crews = Killer Croc


He's done a hell of a lot more aside from just comedies, trust me.

Ving Rhames.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

^Agreed. Ving Rhames is bad ass.

 

[Cunning Stunts]

What would everyone think about Michael Madsen as Black Mask?

As I said in another thread, I think his demeanor and voice could work wonders for the character, especially given how intimidating he's been in past roles. Like one of those Frank Costello-esque (I know that was Jack Nicholson) or Mr. Blonde-esque psychos.

I'm personally all for Clive Owen playing Black Mask, but I'd be quite excited to see Michael Madsen take the role on.

Tell me what you like and don't like
love to here opinions

 

[Jumpin' Jack]

What about John Simm (Life on Mars, Doctor Who, A knights Tale) for the black mask or the riddler?
He can play a evil type like when he was playing The Master in doctor who and I think that type of persona would be great for either of the characters I've mentioned.
If you do not no who he is Check on IMDB :

[Ace of Knaves]

Christopher Loyd as the clock king would be interesting

Errr... Christopher Lloyd has been dead for about 10 years

 

[Majik1387]

Errr... Christopher Lloyd has been dead for about 10 years

Umm, check your facts, he is alive and still working.

Good choices. But no Deathstroke? He is a bad ass and one of a very few villains who can beat Batman physically. I would love to see him adapted to the big screen. Obviously he can't be a invincible metahuman, but he could be a mirror image to Bruce. A guy who thirsts for justice, but is willing to go all the way. If he was in the same position as Bruce in B.B he would actually execute the prisoner with no hesitation.

I still want to see a villain that can mentally challenge Batman in the third, but I think it's about time we had a villain who can really take the fight to Batman physically. Picture it, ninja against ninja on a rain swept Gotham rooftop. Could be epic.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I've just checked. I stand corrected, what a fool I am! I was sure he was dead. He was very ill a few years ago though wasn't he?

 

[Jumpin' Jack]

Why does nobody reply on my message ?

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Why does nobody reply on my message ?

Sorry mate, didn't see it. But na, I don't fancy John Simm for Riddler.

 

[Majik1387]

I've just checked. I stand corrected, what a fool I am! I was sure he was dead. He was very ill a few years ago though wasn't he?

Possibly, he is like 70 years old.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Deadshot isn't too interesting imho.

Possibly, he is like 70 years old.

Who said anything about Deadshot?

 

[Majik1387]

Sorry, I misread the name.

But Deathstroke is better for a Teen Titans movie.
