The Dark Knight Rises Give Robin Williams a role

Watched Insomnia last night on TV, Robin Williams gave a great performance. He can do a serious role.
 
I watched it too. It was a cross between that and 100 scariest moments on E4 :)
 
Yes I rather watch a Chris Nolan film... I wonder if Al Pacino would like to be in a Batman movie...
 
I think that could be possible. He starred in Dick Tracy,so he isn't shy to star in a comic book movie. But Batman is a higher calibre than to be considered a CBM. I could see Al in it.
 
^I just thought of Ventriloquist too. Not a character that'll probably be in the third film, but that'd still be a good role for him.
 
Can Robin Williams do serious? Yes, yes he can, very well in fact. Though I tend to like casting choices which are a bit more inspired. If I ever saw him play a Batman villain, I don't think I could get over the fact that he was Robin Williams.
 
I can see him as Hugo Strange. But not Riddler. I wouldn't have minded him for that role back in his Mork and Mindy days, but I think he's too old now. The last thing I pictured Riddler is an almost 60 year old man and slightly overweight.
 
There are so many Batman characters I could easily see Williams as. Even in the Nolanverse.

Just off the top off my head:

Dr. Death
Hugo Strange
Dr. Milo
Ventriloquist
Rupert Thorne
Killer Moth
Black Mask
Firefly
Deadshot

and for a none villain, Harvey Bullock.
 
He can definitely do dark roles, but I'm not sure if I'd want him as a main villain. Guess it would depend on the villain in question and what Nolan's vision for that villain is, though. But I'd prefer to see him in a smaller role. I do think he deserves to be in a Batman movie, though, after the way WB teased him with the Joker in '89 and then with Riddler in Forever.
 
Believe in as in thinking it will happen? No, but one can hope.
 
I mean, do you want him to have a role because you like him as an actor or because of "the way WB teased him with the Joker in '89 and then with Riddler in Forever"?

Yes indeed. I actually think it's one of his best performances.
 
"The last thing I pictured Riddler is an almost 60 year old man and slightly overweight.

Why not? They did that with Nicholson's Joker? lol.
No, I don't want to see Williams running around in spandex either. I still think he was amazing in One Hour Photo. Just dont' see a need for him in the Bat films at this point.
 
I have always been and will always be a Williams fan, but that doesn't mean he should be involved in this project. Had they gone with him instead of Carrey 15 years ago I would've been thrilled. But 15 years have passed.

A big HELL NO for that one
 
I think Williams's best psycho role was in Law & Order SVU.
 
i think someone metion that he would make a great madd hatter.
