The Dark Knight For All You Robin Haters!

[xwolverine2]

Robin is too old, hell, Nickolson was too old, but we don't want someone in their 50's+ to take on the role of the Joker.

The only hope that Robin has for this role is if he gets what Ian and Patrick had in X-men 3, a digital facelift.

well...thats up to nolan.

and im sure if he had to choose between looks and performance he would choose performance.and robin isnt too far from looks.....he has the face,chin nose.etc....except for the body.

The best match up for me would be Crispin Glover and Mark Hamill, Crispin was very versitile in the Charlie's Angels films and Mark won me over as the Joker from the series...

crispin had NO lines in charlies angels!

AND YOU SAY ROBIN W. IS OLD!?.....yet you say mark hamil!!
have you seen him recently......or do u just think of star wars?

 

[xwolverine2]

Robin Williams would be a horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible choice for the Joker.

For so many reasons.

::Clears throat::

-The guy is too old to play Joker... This is the beginning of his criminal career, remember... and we've already seen an older iteration of the Clown Prince (Nicholson).

-Robin Williams doesn't look like the Joker... Plain and simple. Argue if you want... but it's not going to change that fact.

-The man is hairier and slightly less attractive than my scrotum.

-He is ROBIN WILLIAMS... Mrs. Doubtfire for Christ's sake.

I don't feel that I need to say anything more.

you practically repeated the same thing over and over again..


then said hes Mrs.Doubtfire.......which is one of the most ignorant things ive ever heard

Oh geez you don't read do you?

Crispin was very active in that film meaning he could keep up with the choreoraphy and Mark is old but his VOICE is perfect!

Stop before you hurt yourself...

No... I didn't say the same thing over and over again. My argument was framed this way...

- His age is a factor.

- His look is a factor.

- He has a history of slapstick roles that make him identifiable... and harder to disappear into the character.

You might not agree with my argument. To each his own... But don't call it ignorant..

If anything... Casting the star of "RV" as a homocidal maniac is ignorance.

I have to agree, ill give it that Robin is a good actor in comedies and so forth but i cant see him in this one acting seious/theatrically crazy in his moments.

since when is the joker a martial arts expert?

so now were willing to throw age out the window?......yeah nice one.

age is practically the same as looks........ hell someone could look 50 and could look young.(not that robin does)

what i meant by ignorant is that you only see him as miss doubtfire...and the guy from RV. and yet you completely ignore the fact the he played a psychopath in insomnia...and has won an oscar.

[ryan dube]

when casting a character you have to keep clear your decisions and decide when and where age is a factor for a specific role, I know this is hard for you to soak in, but it is needed...

I love Robin Williams, but as Nolan has already stated, there will be no "Robin" in these films, lol

(yes I do know he was talking about Dick Grayson as Robin, but I wanted to put that in there, and I believe I had to put this in here cause your next post would have been to try and correct me on what Nolan was "really" talking about)

Christopher Nolan would probably disagree with you.
You might want to go rent "insomnia".

jag

 

[ryan dube]

might want to also watch One Hour Photo

 

[xwolverine2]

Perhaps I'm incorrect about Williams... I should go watch some of his darker stuff.

Anyway... To me there are others more suited to the part... but we shall see.

well yeah.... of course. but i havent really seen any, maybe bettany.

[batman7289]

hes not TOO OLD!!!

LOL!! Ya That pic is the perfect description for youth

 

[Katsuro]

yeah i see your point..........

but everybody already knows this is a new batman.
and u cant say robins performance will be the same as jacks... for all we know he can play it very differently.

You would be surprised how untrue that is. It's quite sad really, but the general public still thinks Begins was a straight up prequel to Batman '89. I remember people being confused about someone else killing his parents, other than the Joker. Also, Who Wants to be a Millionare had a questions asking which of four movies was a prequel, the "correct" answer being Batman Begins. So there is still quite a bit of confusion, and I feel one of the best ways to undo that would be to bring in a fresh, young Joker who's got the tall, thin build of comic Joker, and the complete opposite of good ol' Jack.

if the general audience doesnt get it then they are ******s.

Yeah I know, I just cant comprehend it. The stories just dont fit together properly. Different killer of Batman's parents, differnet relationship with Gordon, different origin of Joker (he exists at the end, and is said to already be "theatrical"), different public opinion of Batman (no one believes the one reporter who says he exists in B'89, in BB he's on the front page).

I think perhaps people saw Batman Begins without having seen the very first Batman movie in a long time, so they forgot specifics. Only fanboys like us watch these movies repeatedly.
