??? was that a "lol you dont know what your talking about" or a "lol true dat"

an "lol true dat".

 

[xxshady]

an "lol true dat".

yay

 

[Bullseye]

Its not that I hate the idea of Robin being in another Batman film, its just that Batman Forever and Batman & Robin massively screwed up the character and thus not wanting to see Robin in a Bat-film for quite a long time.

I thought this thread was for Robin WILLIAMS, not the character Robin.
Anyway- Robin would be awesome as the Joker, cause he pretty much is the Joker, just not all murderous.

he can be murderous

 

[bstringer]

yes, he certainly can. He is really great at dark humor. im sure he'd be perfect for the Joker role. Everyone keeps thinking that the Joker should be tall and thin, but Nicholson was basically the same size as Williams and he was perfect! i know Robin can be the perfect Joker.

That's the problerm, Nicholson stole show in Batman 89 and I don't want fat Joker sorry but Nicholson was fat at 54.

So you have more troubles with Nicholson's overwhelming talent or his weight?

I have no troubles with Nicholson's weight or his talent. I prefer Joker in comics or TAS you got problem with that?

 

[StorminNorman]

That's the problerm, Nicholson stole show in Batman 89.

Nicholson talent wasn't really the problem, it was a combination of Keaton being a poor Bruce Wayne (though good Batman), the skript having a poor Joker to Batman ratio. Of course his ability to steal the show only made the flaws more apparent.

nolan made it perfectly clear that this aint a cartoon

 

[StorminNorman]

I will say this, when I was looking after my cousin the other day I saw Robin Williams doing some show advertising for the movie RV. While he certainly is old, he was not exactly round. I have no doubt he could atleast loose enough weight to make a decent looking Joker. If only he could lose 20 years of age.

I like my Robin Williams looking like this:

WTF?? I meant as the look of Joker tall skinny guy from comics and TAS.

Nolan and Goyer said comics were inspired them like B: Y1 or The Long Halloween etc…

Have I complained about TAS or comic Joker's talents, height or weight?

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.

i wish all these UK cats would get off Bettany's jewels sack cuz he would be a horrible Joker and no there is no confirmation he's getting the part. I doubt it would work. Sorry still haven't seen Paul Bettany in a movie where he speaks with an American accent.

Williams on the other hand has got the Joker hairline, more of a credible actor, has played both funny and psychotic parts, now if he can just get the Joker laugh right he's in there like swimwear.

for Robin Williams

I will make this swift and painless:

1. I am not from the UK.
2. Bettany would be a fantastic Joker - just look at Gangster No. 1
3. Bettany has used an American accent in several films - actually he has two different ones telling me he has a knack for voice acting as well.
4. Williams is 20 years too old.
5. Bettany is just as credible an actor (he has oscar buzz for his role as Silas)
6. Bettany has played both funny and psychotic parts.
7. Swimwear makes my ass look big.

well maybe its just that i'm not stuck on his jewels sack like a genital wart then.

Oscar buzz?? not knocking Bettany but he just doesn't look he could take the Joker role by the horns like Robin could...

 

[Mr. Thing]

C'mon, Eccleston!

Im not stuck on his jewel sack, I above them.

Have you seen any of his work?

 

[Joker831]

Robin Williams could definitly rule this role in his own sick dark funny way. We have seen it in One Hour Photo and Insomnia. Most people want a younger joker, i dont blame them...i kind of do too. But then some of the best choices to me are older...(Tim Roth, Williams, etc).

But here are two manips from someone on Batman-on-film. His signature is on the manips, so give him credit. I just loved them, figured id shed them over here for us.

 

[Boom]

Funny, because those pictures were posted here first, and they were made by bane.

 

[Joker831]

Oh lol, well whoever they were made by...i dunno. I just didnt wanna take credit for something i didnt do, so i figured id say where i got it from. Whoever did them....great job, shows Williams/Joker perfectly.

 

[Zilleraut #66]

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.

Didn't know that. He would have been so much better.

 

[Supreme Power]

so how many of you have i convinced?

You got me.

I don't think he's too old at all. In that case you could have said Nicholson was old from 89. He was perfect to me.
