The Dark Knight For All You Robin Haters!

[xwolverine2]

The contest is over. I'm sold.

there was no contest...........

......its robin

 

[The Kid]

How so? Because you made the REDICULOUSLY dumb post that because Ra's Al Ghul was over 50; the Joker could be?

It is part of Ra's Al Ghul's character to be older. NOT the Joker's. It is actually his character to be about the same age as the Batman. If we have a 30 year old Batman...we need a 30 something Joker.

What's a Hulme? You'll find out in 2008 when he headlines the new Batman movie playing the Joker opposite Christian Bale.

-R

sooo he can look crazy. But can he do it with a smile?

 

[xwolverine2]

sooo he can look crazy. But can he do it with a smile?

he would play a perfect bin laden

 

[The Shape]

Hulme would be a better choice than Williams. because A) William's may be funny, but he's not JOKER funny...and B) he's an old, short, hairy beast.

just from that pic above of Hulme, you can see how he can play crazy. and there's another pic of him somewhere on the net of him smiling...and he IS The Joker. that's all there is to it. not Bettany, not ****ing Robin Williams.

LACHY HULME.

But Hulme can't act, atleast i'm still not convinced...I've only seen him in "The Matrix Revolutions"

no one acts in a matrix movie. of course he's not gonna be over-the-top or anything. he's gonna deliver his lines, like everyone in the matrix does.

who was he?

ROBIN FOR MR J!!

 

[Mr. Thing]

I seen him in "Four Jacks" and as far as I'm concerned, he can act. Really well.

everyone can act.....but can he act like the joker.

 

[Mr. Thing]

Yeah. He goes a bit ****ing nuts in this film.

 

[xwolverine2]

Yeah. He goes a bit ****ing nuts in this film.

[Mr. Thing]

Kind of contained. You know he's nuts, and he shows it, but not in an exactly psychoey outburst if you know what I mean...

 

[cerealkiller182]

kinda like Mr. Blonde in Reservoir Dogs?

 

[Doc Holliday]

kinda like Mr. Blonde in Reservoir Dogs?

Good movie, minus the whole ear part...

Ew.

 

[Katsuro]

WOW bane!... nice manip!.

i had that exact same idea but i couldnt find a bats pic that worked with it..lol

if hulme was chosen instead of robin then i would kill myself..... so the reason you dont want robin as joker is because hes like jack nicholson?HOW?!


and yes TWO FACE....boring... the pic just proved it. he looks like bill gates there

and if anything this thread should be merged.... ive stated my point.

We've seen Batman go up against a much older, slightly overweight Joker before (two things Joker has never been). Robin Williams was even in talks to play the B'89 Joker at one point. I want a different Joker this time around.

Partially, yes. To have him look just like the previous actor, when neither of them look like the source material, kinda sends the message that their playing the same character. It would seem like the studio is trying to match the likeness of the previous actor, even if they really aren't.

It would be like putting Catwoman in BB2, making her completely unassociated with the Catwoman film, and yet casting an actress who looks like Halle Berry. People who just see the ads, or people who dont really remember the details of the Catwoman movie, are gonna assume it's the same Catwoman only recast. Do you get my point? People will see Robin and think "Joker isn't supposed to be old and chubby. Well, i guess they're trying to make him look like Jack Nicholson's Joker." That'll lead to people thinking their the same. That's the last thing we want.

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.

 

[Marvel Man]

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.

This is said perfectly! Period.

 

[xwolverine2]

and WHAT IS right for nolans universe?

does it not include great acting?

 

[ryan dube]

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.
