The Dark Knight Rises Mad as a Hatter:The Official Jervis Tetch Thread

[Fresh Prince]

How about a cameo appearance in Batman 3 were he is sexual assaulting a young teenager and Batman comes and takes him down.

The role of The Mad Hatter in the Nolanverse should be played by Timothy Spall.

Yeah that would be greay.

I think Brad Dourif could be a really good Mad Hatter. He plays very creepy villains and even looks like the character a bit these days and is the right stature and size for him.

Ehh, nah. That's just too uninteresting. And it's almost as goofy as the "mind control hats" version of him. If you're going to have him be the guy who spouts gibberish all the time, at least have it be like Loebs version where he has the questionable affinity for children and having them act out tea-parties with him.

I don't see how it's goofy.
I think he could be like a weirdo on a street corner, shouting at no one in particular. Just a non-functioning lunatic. He doesn't try and conceal his identity, he doesn't try to cover up his crimes, he's not devious or cunning in any way.

Well if he's also not cunning or devious in any way, he'll also be completely uninteresting. He'd be caught in about ten minutes, and not be a compelling villain at all.

At least Loeb's version, while insane, was also very cunning and devious, and made it hard for Batman to find out where he was hiding the children he kidnapped.

I love the idea of this character and would love to see it brought to the screen. I always got a laugh out of the scenes in The Long Halloween where Hatter and Scarecrow have these weird arguments back and forth.
One of the main reasons that I don't see this character happening now, is because of the Burton film. I'm assuming a third Batman would only be a few years away, and probably too close to Burton's Wonderland film to make it seem like an original idea.
Great to see others that like the character!

maybe, they can make him a crazed fan obsessed with Burtons wonderland film...
An that’s what he bases is look on lol

Not everyone can be a criminal mastermind though. And I never thought Loeb's version was smart either. Just a babbling idiot. I wish he was designed a bit better though. I hate midget-Hatter.

I agree with that. He was ridiculously short. But that's Sale's style. He's a fan of over-exaggerating visual traits.

And I don't know if Loeb's version was incredibly intelligent, but he was wily enough to avoid Batman for a while and capture multiple children before he was finally caught. So he obviously isn't an idiot. However, I think his madness makes him unpredictable as well.

My idea for the character would be similar to that. After his daughter is killed, Tetch goes completely off the deep end, and is a complete wreck. His sanity is gone, and he's completely unpredictable. His only goal is to find "Alice."

Andy Serkis or Steve Buscemi

 

[The Caped Knight]

How about Alan Rickman?

Prefect casting choice for the role of Jervis Tetch /The Mad Hatter .

 

[skiddyboy]

If you want a creepy,dweeb that is strange enough looking to pull off the mad hatter then you couldn't go wrong with....

DJ Qualls
