The Dark Knight Heath as Batman

[DarkKnight245]

We all know that Heath Ledger will be a fantastic Joker but this question popped into my mind. would Heath have been a good Batman?

 

[Microchip]

Hmmm, he's obviously shown himself to be a versatile actor, but I don't think he has the look. The Joker is a scarred, make-up wearing maniac, so he can hide his pretty-boy looks and blonde hair behind that. However, you can't really dress him up to look like the stereotypical Bruce Wayne.

 

[Why So Serious?]

Ledger = Joker
Ledger =/= Batman

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Ledger couldve probably done most roles he put his mind into!

Talent=Talent

 

[StillTheKing]

Can Bale be Joker though...?

 

[Sexecutioner]

Both are versatile actors. They probably could of done each other's roles, but it is hard to say. I haven't seen Heath as a suave playboy and I haven't seen Bale as an insane killer.

 

[bgates87]

There's no doubt Heath Ledger was a good actor but I think Bale's flexible physique and facial features along with his acting abilities made him a better choice for Batman.

obviously you haven't seen American Psycho

You! Watch American Psycho... NOW!!!

 

[Ferd]

Can Bale be Joker though...?

Well he's done the psychotic killer thing before...

And he's worn make up before...

But I'm perfectly content with him being Bruce and Bats

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Can Bale be Joker though...?

Of course he could have jeeesh!

 

[bgates87]

Also, I think Heath Ledger's role in Casanova proves he could've been a good Bruce Wayne.

Watch his exit from the theater after he sabotages Hugh Jackman's TransportendMan trick, mix that with Patrick Batemen, yeah, he could pull it off

Here's the real question: Could Michael Caine have been Rachel Dawes?

 

[Sexecutioner]

You! Watch American Psycho... NOW!!!

I have seen American Psycho. Bateman and the Joker (Nolan's version) are different types of killers.

 

[Sexecutioner]

Here's the real question: Could Michael Caine have been Rachel Dawes?

Or could Morgan Freeman have been the Little Boy?

 

[StillTheKing]

My question of Bale being Joker was a joke btw.

I think Bale is a very versatile actor and could play just about anything he wanted to.
Same with Heath

Michael Caine could of been a better rachel than Katie.

 

[Citadel30]

or could Gary Oldman have played the falafel cart???? hhmmmmmmmmm.........

 

[Hole Shot]

Or could Morgan Freeman have been the Little Boy?

Could Rutger Hauer play Martha Wayne?

 

[Beanjuice]

Ledger = Joker
Ledger = Kill the Batman

Fixed

 

[JokerLedger]

I remember Heath Ledger being rumoured for the role of Batman back in the days

 

[P.F. Geraci]

Or could Morgan Freeman have been the Little Boy?

Or could Morgan Freeman have been been the little boy playing Lucius Fox playing Michael Caine? Let that simmer in your head for a minute.

 

[Symbiotic]

Heath didn't have the Bruce Wayne look.

 

[xwolverine2]

morgan freeman can play catwoman

 

[Ferd]

Heath didn't have the Bruce Wayne look.

I agree. Not that Heath wasn't gorgeous, he just didn't have the same sort of heir about him that Christian can pull off. That's just MHO.
