The Dark Knight Rises Casting Call (All Villains)

[Laderlappen]

Peter Sarsgaard is a very good choice for The Riddler.

Peter Sarsgaard is a very good choice for The Riddler.

Thanks, I obviously think so too, but I've come to the conclusion that Baron Cohen is the better overall choice.

Timothy Spall as The Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot

I never thought of this before and I really like the idea.

Good man.

I know that a couple of those Riddler choices will prove pretty unpopular, but I've posted my reasons in another thread.

 

[Texas Zombie]

dane cook is actually a pretty good actor.

^No way that i'm paying to go see Robin Williams play the Riddler against Christian Bale in the theaters. Okay, so the guy was cast in Insomnia, big deal. If you can just see how bad that would look as him playing the Riddler. And btw, I hated Jumanji.

Though I would love to see Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin, that would be pretty cool and excited experience for all of us.

 

[catintheengine]

You, sir, are a liar - nobody hates Jumanji.

I think Williams would be able to pull of the proper amount of creepy combined with intellect.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - comedic actors are usually the best at drama.

 

[Cunning Stunts]

Not only that, but the guy's a Juillard graduate. He's a phenomenal actor who's kind of fallen victim to the same thing as Samuel L. Jackson did (who's also a phenomenal actor)... They get typecast due to sticking to certain types of roles for a while.

Robin Williams would be a sick Riddler.

Williams is a GREAT actor. What does you not liking Jumanji have to do with anything? He's made a bazillion other movies besides that one.

Williams is my favorite actor. I would love to see him play anyone in Batman. The Riddler, Joker, hell, even Alfred!

Ok, so to go with my series of completely off-the-wall suggestions, here's another one for The Riddler:



The man's proven himself a capable and versatile actor over the past twenty-five years. Do I think he'd do it? Doubtful. Do I think he COULD do it? Yes.

 

[Crook]

You know, just because Riddler's wise and a genius, doesn't mean you all have to suggest grandpas for this role.

 

[catintheengine]

There's no reason to say that The Riddler couldn't be older.

 

[Mito88]

old riddler would suck

 

[catintheengine]

old riddler would suck

Your reasoning being?

I'm just trying to throw out some names out there other than Depp, some names that maybe haven't been tossed out there yet.

Here's a younger one: Timothy Olyphant for The Riddler.

 

[Jumpin' Jack]

Timothy Spall for the penguin!

 

[Ace of Knaves]

old riddler would suck

Yes, for those with a lack of imagination.

Don't you Riddler naysayers realize this is Chris Nolan we are talking about? A character like Riddler is tailor made for his style films.

 

[Two-Face]

How things change eh? Look at Ra's Al Ghul and Scarecrow in BB then Joker & Two-Face in TDK. What I mean is Riddler would get different treatment from Nolans.

 

[bullets]

Currently Nolan is working with Leonardo DiCaprio . I wouldn't be suprised if he cast Leo as the Riddler.

 

[Crook]

He was talking about the age of the character, not Riddler himself.

 

[Two-Face]

Currently Nolan is working with Leonardo DiCaprio . I wouldn't be suprised if he cast Leo as the Riddler.

Man that would be so cool, I would be so happy if happened.

 

[nolan's roll'n]

How about Leonardo Di Caprio or Mark Wahlberg as Black Mask, since LD was cast in Inception, maybe Nolan will cast him here.


BTW, does anyone have any Joseph Gordon Levitt joker manips, or can someone please make me one quickly?

 

[willemjoker]

Haven't done one of these in about four or five years, so here goes:

THE PENGUIN / Oswald Cobblepot
Timothy Spall (Sweeney Todd)

THE CATWOMAN / Selina Kyle
Christina Hendricks (Mad Men)

THE RIDDLER/Edward Nigma
Tom Waits (The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus)

MR FREEZE / Dr Victor Fries
Dennis Hopper (The Night We Called It A Day)
Okay, this one's not a definite, but I think it might work.

HARLEY QUINN / Dr Harleen Quinzel
Sarah Silverman (The Aristocrats)

And I used up my Poison Ivy choice on Catwoman, so I kinda screwde myself there. Oh well. She probably won't be in the Nolanverse anyway.

 

[Majik1387]

I really don't like any of that, save for Spall.

 

[willemjoker]

I really don't like any of that, save for Spall.

Don't worry, you'll soon come around......... OR THE LLAMA DIES!







Any particular reason you don't care for those?
