The Dark Knight Joker Casting Threads [merged-30]

[StorminNorman]

He may be creepy, but Bettany IS the Joker.

whoh!!!!!!!! 224 pages I only read the first one and that was good so forgive me if some of these have already been said but heres my points

REally dark purple suit with white pinstipes
no red lips just green or white
sickly very faint green on the white face not pure white
flakey skin
dark green hair not bright
eyes? what a bout one eeye with no colour but a tiny pupil like nightcrawler of xmen2 but one eye have a contact lense with a smiley on the pupil
have the hat at first but loses it by police who use it for evidance
don't show him becoming joker i don't really like th whole acid bath thing

Why no red lips - I think that is a key to the Joker personally.
Why the faint green, it doesnt seem Joker like to me.
Why flakey skin?
Why not the traditional yellow tinted eyes?

I understand, I was just wondering if you had a real reason why you wanted those specific changes. Personally I wouldnt mind any of them BUT the lips - they need to be red IMO.

 

[batadz]

I dont mind em either but have you seen hush? I think he looks less comicbooky without them, not to mention some of the amazing pictures some of the guys have posted

I have seen Hush, I love Hush, still want Red Lips.

However if Paul Bettany plays Joker I could care less what he looks like, his acting will be perfect.

got any pics of this guy you keep going on about?

Look a few pages back, there plenty of pictures of Bettany. Even some decent manips of him as Joker.

Anyway...

 

[StorminNorman]

Plus, IMO atleast, the big attraction to him is not only does he look Jokerish - but he is a fantastic actor who has played Joker-like roles in the past (Gangster No. 1).

If they apply prosthetics for his nose, I wouldn't mind seeing the tall, gangly, creepy as Hell Mr. Bettany.

nah mate

 

[StorminNorman]

nah mate

yes mate. Pictures dont do the man justice, just watch him in action. Something about his face has that Joker esk quality to it. Its good to hear that he is supposidly the leading guy to play to Joker.

they do not have a script finalized yet, but they are working from an already made treatment. There is not a doubt in my mind that WB has been looking at possible Jokers since Pre-Begins, according to Batman-On-Film.com, the field has been narrowed down to Lachy Hulme and Paul Bettany for a good while. BOF also has reported that according to many people, Bettany is more or less a lock. Plus the man is perfect for the role.

 

[batadz]

yeah but you get that hype all the time then when someone actually asks the person then they don't have a clue and state they're flattered and it's just tabloid bs

But BOF has proved to have fairly reliable sources as well, its the only site I trust for my Bat news.

 

[batadz]

k thats good then

 

[Keyser Sushi]

Bettany, dammit!!!

 

[Victor Creed]

Plus, IMO atleast, the big attraction to him is not only does he look Jokerish - but he is a fantastic actor who has played Joker-like roles in the past (Gangster No. 1).

First of all, if he looked like that he would just accomplish looking like a person who is stuck in that whole 80s Punk b/s. As for him, Depp, and Glover, the only one that I don't think would be that bad is Bettany. The only people pumping Depp to be the Joker are little Depp Fanboys, and Glover in that Willard movie was not scary at all. Buy a few damn rat pellets and there ya go.

I do, however, think that Eccleston has the look especially after seeing that good manip. But I am unfamiliar with his acting skills. So based on what I know I'd say Eccleston for the look of the character, but Bettany has the acting ability.

eccelson was doctor who

 

[mcflytrap]

I think so. Wasn't he in some tennis movie w/ Kirsten Dunst where he was American?

Actually no...in that movie he was quite the Brit.

HULME or ECCELSTONE!

One of my favorite manips of Bettany, kudos to whoever did it.

 

[Sabretooth]

One person who I think could make a good Joker is Michael Massee (I think that's how you spell it.) Though I'm not sure how comfortable he'd be in a role like this after what happened with Brandon Lee.

 

[Logan Howlett]

I still think Hamill would be the ULTIMATE JOKER!
