Well if Nolan wants YOUNGER JOKER to match Bale's Batman then Williams is too old play the role jeez.

 

[CrypticOne]

I agree.

 

[xwolverine2]

hes not TOO OLD!!!

 

[Phaser]

ras al ghul wasnt?

Ra's al Ghul was always older than Batman, whether it is the comics, TAS or film. He's not Batman's arch nemesis like the Joker. More like a twisted mentor of sorts. He wanted to marry his daughter to Bruce for crying out loud! The mere suggestion of Ra's being "too old" in Begins is downright ridiculous.

[xwolverine2]

this is a robin thread

That Robin crack was definitely not funny.

And Williams might do well in the part, but it doesn't matter, cause Bettany's getting it.

 

[wikum]

i doubt anyone really needed to watch the clip to know that robin williams has all the acting ability needed to play the clown prince of crime. however, i for one was hoping for a younger, skinny and tall/lanky actor for this take on the joker and williams does not fall into that catagory, although i probably would prefer him to hulme.

Does Robin Williams have the talent? Hell yes. Could Robin Williams do a fantastic job? Hell yes. Should Robin Williams be the Joker? Hell no. The reason is that he does not have the look nor the age to do it now. He would of been perfect for Burton's Batman, hell if they were remaking Burton's Batman I wouldn't mind Williams - but not for Nolan's universe.

wasn't he in the running to do Burtons joker, I think I hear somewhere that like it was offiered to him after Jake turn it down or something like that. I think He was also the first runner for burtons riddler, before he leavethe project ot whatever happened there.

I am going to assume you mean Jack

After Jack Nicholson and WB were having problems coming to terms for Nicholson to play the Joker WB started to open talks with Robin Williams. This led to Nicholson eventually signing with WB. Robin Williams ended up with bad feelings because he felt he was used by WB. WB wanted him for the Riddler role first, but Robin wouldnt sign until WB apologized....or atleast thats what I have heard.

Exactly how I feel...

Robin Williams really in the mix?
Author: Jett
Wednesday, June 28, 2006 - 2:04 PM CENTRAL TIME: Could Robin Williams really enter the mix to play The Joker? Could be. At first I dismissed it and figured RW was getting some run due to his prior association with Chris Nolan. But Williams seems to want the part -- bad.

As a result, I’ve been doing a bit of digging on this for you all and myself. I had one of my “industry insiders” tell me that if Mr. Williams wants the job, he’d certainly “be right there in the mix” for the role. "How could Warner and Nolan NOT seriously consider him," our source said. Anyway, I’m still on it and have made a few calls and emailed various sources and I’m waiting for a response -- which may not come until next week after the 4th of July…

I'm really not a big fan of this idea.

Robin Williams most certainly is pushing for the role...desperately.

While I think he's too old for the role, that interview really gave me a lot of confidence that he could do a quite excellent job with the role. I wouldn't say I'm gunning for him to get cast or anything, but I'd have no problem with it if he was.

Okay, I was kind-of on the fence, but after the IGN interview, Robin has to play The Joker. Not only does he have the comedic and dramatic talent nessesary, but he just GETS the character.
