I never said Depp was plain wrong for the part. I just said he's not my ideal choice for the part. And just because someone was in Dr. Who doesn't mean they don't have talent. You can't just assume that if someone has acting talent, they will be in big movies, or a lot of movies. There are plenty of actors out there who haven't had their chance to shine yet.
Exactly. I'm saying if WB actually listened to the fans, we wouldn't have Heath Ledger in the role. That was my point.
Again, I don't bow down and worship Depp on the same level as you guys clearly do. I hated Pirates of the Caribbean (which is what boosted him to superstar status), but I enjoy plenty of his work. However, I do find him overrated.
That's a matter of opinion. Plenty of people enjoyed Maggie. I guess you have a point with Katie, but it wasn't like she was downright terrible.
I'm just saying that Nolan doesn't cast the obvious choices that most fans make. Now, when you look at them, they are fairly obvious. But at the time before these people were cast, I didn't see too many of these names mentioned around.
How so? People were casting the Joker in their minds based purely on the look of actors. Heath Ledger didn't look like the Joker, so for a lot of people, it was out of left field.
I never said they did.
Just because Depp has displayed interest, doesn't mean he should be The Riddler.
Whatever dude. Just because I don't beat off to the sounds of Johnny Depp, doesn't mean I'm not entitled to share my thoughts.
I know. I just don't understand why everyone seems to be jumping on my back for not wanting Depp in the role. There's a difference between me saying I think Depp is wrong for the role, and saying I don't think Depp should play the role. The difference is that, yes, I think Depp has talent and would definitely have an interesting turn as The Riddler, but I have a vision of The Riddler in Christopher Nolan's universe, and I don't see Depp.
It's hard to verbalize what I'm thinking without making myself seem contradictory. I don't think he's wrong for the Riddler. He's just not my choice and what I envisioned. That is my official stance on the matter. Maybe that will help make things clearer as to where I'm coming from.
As mentioned before, any good actor could play The Riddler. Depp is a good actor, but he doesn't make my list of top 20 best actors (that are still alive) or anything.
Yeah, I'm much more for Tennant than Depp. I really don't want to see Johnny Depp in the role.
Wow. And you're calling me immature? I don't call people names unless instigated. When you keep singling me out for voicing my opinion, you're bound to provoke a reaction out of me. Calling me stupid and immature makes you no better.
Jesus, is anybody else seeing this crap?
Honestly, if you're a director, even Nolan, and Depp says he wants the role, you gonna actually tell him, "no, I don't think you're right for this?"
