The Dark Knight For All You Robin Haters!

[SUPERSEBAS]

I love Robin Williams, but I dont whant him for the Joker!!

 

[Ben Urich]

He's about 20 years too old for the role.
I mean, he's hilarious, but no. Sorry.

 

[Black Panther]

^^^^ I agree fully with Ben.

 

[bane]

If he plays the Joker it will be a perfect cast!

 

[TheEgyptian]

hmm.. iffy on this one

 

[Doc Holliday]

If he plays the Joker it will be a perfect cast!

 

[xwolverine2]

i think you guys just want him to LOOK like the cartoon/comic joker....

sure hes a bit old but hes not THAT old.... he has the personality and he knows how joker should be played...and for god sakes he respects nolan and everything.

must i add a poll? robin vs. bettany?

 

[Doc Holliday]

No, you mustn't.

I really think Robin Williams would be great, except there would be something about him that wouldn't be right the whole time. I'd be watching him going "There's something that doesn't fit here, but I don't know what it is."

like...............?

I'm really quite divided on this. I guess i'd have to agree with Norm, he'd make an excellent Joker, but he's just not what this franchise needs. I'm hoping for someone Bale's age, who also has the tall and lanky build of the Joker. Paul Bettany's also a great actor, so that doens't hurt.

I do immensly respect him for having actually getting the character, and even mentioning specific graphic novels.

 

[Diamondhead]

LOL

 

[Diamondhead]

Let’s get prince to try it out!
Just check is video party man!
He’d be the perfect joker!
He can act!

 

[Doc Holliday]

That's my point. I don't know what it is.

Everyone says he's too old, and that's true, but to me, there's something else, I just can't pinpoint it.

Not just that, but he threw out the name of a series even a lot of comic fans don't know about.

For that, I decided, he should be awarded a metal.

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.

My thoughts exactly

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.

Looks like we're all in the same boat. I'm not really campaigning for him to get the role (or anyone else for that matter, Nolan's choice is my choice), but yeah, some of his comments about the character are spot on and since he's an actor who's shown to be able to handle both comedy and menace quite well. All those people who think he play a ****ed up villain should watch Insomnia, his best performance in years.

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 hope we can put this to bed next week, I don't want Williams in the role.

 

[Mr. Thing]

I'd certainly prefer Williams over a certain name that's in the mix just now.

 

[Nightwing92]

come on..... you'll know that he's extremely old for the role.... that would be so stupid if batman was younger and the joker was like 25 yrs older than him... check this out.... http://www.cinematical.com/2005/06/15/mark-hamill-may-play-joker-in-batman-sequel

 

[bane]

He's old yeah, but none of the other actors can fill Nicholson's shoes!

 

[batmaluco]

Just for the fact that he can "get" the Joker (Arkham Asylum, as we can see in that interview) and because he is such a great actor and can play a nice villain as can be seen in "Insomnia", I think he deserves at least a screentest for this role.

And even if he end up not being the chosen by Nolan, I would love to see his screentests for this role.

 

[The Kid]

It depends on if you want a joker to look like joker or have an excellent actor under the make-up. I'd go with teh latter. I dont give a damn if he looks like that skinny wimp from the comics as long as we get the best joker performance ever.

I love you, Weyseed.

 

[Borat]

Wow that clip is awesome. He would be a fantastic Joker. But I don't see it happening.

Just made a quick manip.
