The Dark Knight Rises Depp to play the Riddler and Hoffman to be Penguin?

[the_monk]

This is NOT true. It's a baseless rumor.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Oswald should just be an arms dealer or mob boss, his soldiers refer to him as Penguin. no fish stuff, no little man syndrome, no motorised duck, no umbrellas -just James Gandolfini kicking ass.

All of those things you stated are from Burton's version, isnt it quite obvious we wouldnt get the same thing if Nolan did the character? I mean give me a break

Well I think British thing naturally comes with the top hat, monocle etc I dont want any of that **** anyway. Someone else suggested Ian McShane which I thought was a great shout! Cant remember who it was but kudos.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

It seems to me since TDK has come out we've had quite a few new people posting, that know NOTHING about any of the Batman characters or mythos at all, it seems like a bandwagon spurt as of late.

 

[Bads316]

Penguins always had little man syndrome

dude hoffman kicks ass

Who are you refering to?
I've not seen anything terrible in this thread.

Its not a syndrome, he's just a short guy!

I said on the boards in general, not just in this thread.

There has recently been a decent little spurt of newcomers since the film came out, which is really cool sometimes, but it seems to me most of the people posting are trolling, and usually have no clue what theyre talking about at all, just making an observation.

hoffman was TERRIBLE in MI3, that movie sucked so much ass.

In your opinion it did, I found the film to be a fun action filled summer popcorn flick, and Hoffman was evil as hell in it too.

Dark Vengeance -
Hey look, Ill hold my hands up. My knowledge of the Batman mythos is limited. Ive read Year One, Killing Joke, Long Haloween, Dark Victory, Hush, Red Rain and Cataclysm and thats about it. But it doesnt make my opinion on what makes a great Batman film any less valid than anyone else on here. We all have our ideas and I love (so far) disscussing them.

I always took the fact that Oswald was short as a motivation to prove himself.

Bads where did I post anything about your personal knowledge on Batman? I just made a broad statement, that as of late is the truth. I am not targeting you my friend, so if you took it that way I apologize.

I respect newcomers on here, and I enjoy some new people to debate and discuss things with, its always fun. Sometimes though I just get frustrated with the fact that people jump on a bandwagon cause something "in" or the "cool new thing" which is quite obvious when it comes to The Dark Knight, everyone and their grandmother has seen it. I knew all of this was coming, so Im not pointing anyone out, just making my normal observations.

 

[Serious_?]

Its actually quite simple, if you actually know anything about the character.

Of which I do....

and I still think it's a FAR stretch.

I thought that his whole reason for going into crime was because he likes the finer things in life. He's not like The Joker who wants to break the system down, The Penguin is content to leech off it and exploit any open market he can find.

Considering The Penguin from the comics is one of the most realistic characters out of Batman's Rogues gallery, and Nolan is going for a realistic take on the character and mythos, I feel like maybe your confused about what your saying. If not please give examples and explain reasons as to WHY The Penguin would NOT work in Nolan's Gotham.

Exactly. I remember these board having the threads for each important subject. now we see all this "what was your favorite scene? was the music good? did you like this/ hows about that?" its just incoherent garbage. then there is the constant posting of old photos,requesting photos,or posting your artwork in the the photo thread without looking around to see first. its annoying as hell and sum1 needs to lay down the law

The Penguin is a very basic criminal, he's not very psychological, hes at the most a mob boss/gangster interested in money, on the same lines as Maroni, that and his pure hatred for Batman.

DV - no troubles bubbles. I hate bandwagons and Im here for the long haul...........unless they cast Depp

Atleast someone can see it too, and Im not the only one. t:

I would HATE Depp as The Joker, but I think he could do The Riddler justice very very well, hes a great character actor.

 

[Serious_?]

Nevermind the nonsense filled threads, there seems to be no rules here against double posting...

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Double posting is fine as long as it isnt the same post.

This just sounds like old rumors rehashed. Hoffman and Depp's names were thrown around all the time in the days before TDK. Now that the third is in sight, the names are just floating back.

That being said, I think both are fine choices for the roles. Depp was my choice for Joker before Ledger was cast.

And I do anticipate Nolan casting someone of Depp's star power in movie 3. Despite coming off one of the biggest movies of all time, Batman 3 is still going to need that extra leg-up to fill the void that Ledger leaves.
