The Dark Knight Rises Official Oswald " The Penguin " Cobblepot thread

[regwec]

David Suchet is a very good actor. There is more to the man than just Poirot, though that is actually a pretty great example of character acting/comedy. I would love to see him play Cobblepot.

 

[bullets]

Suchet would be okay.

"Bob Hoskins as The Penguin" enough said.

Man, I remember all those Hoskins rumors..I was for him back then and still am now.

 

[Two-Face]

I remember it too, didn't he say he'll love to work with Nolan?

I couldn't find the exact article where he said it, as it was a long time ago, but I found a bit of it on his rottentomatoes bio:

Hoskins was rumoured to be in line for the role of The Penguin in the sequel to 2005's Batman Begins. He has expressed interest in the role, stating that he would like to work with director Christopher Nolan.

How things change.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Yep.

 

[Dark Knight]

It also was on video and perhaps we can find it on you tube. He was asked by an interviewer at some awards show or gala sometime between BB and the release of TDK about the Penguin rumours and asked if he would like to play the Penguin and work with Chris Nolan and on the video he replies back to the interviewer and says something like "who said that and where did you hear that"? The she says it's a rumour on the Internet or something and he looks intrigued by the prospect of it..and says something like "yeah! I would love to do it!"

I deffo think Patton Oswalt is the man i know he is a comedy actor by trade but Nolan could work wonders with the guy and Patton not only has the look but he is also a talented guy

He looks pretty talented in "The Fan."

Yeah I remember that, somebody did post it here. If Penguin is in it Hoskins wuuld be perfect.

I got money of Philip Seymour - Hoffman myself. I think he'd be a powerhouse.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I would like to see Toby Jones as Penguin. He is small and freaky looking.

 

[BigSams50]

Hoskins would rock as Mr.Cobblepot

 

[Rodrigo90]

Sorted.

 

[The Joker]

Oh god, don't use any designs from The Batman show. Go with the traditional classic Penguin look.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Well personaly. I think Johnny Depp looks like the Riddler from The Batman cartoon.

 

[regwec]

The Riddler from "The Batman" looks like the singer from "Placebo".

 

[Fresh Prince]

Sorted.

That dude the perfect penguin.

 

[Rodrigo90]

But if Philip wasnt playing the Penguin. Would it be bad to suggest this guy to play him?

 

[nolan's roll'n]

Sorted.

PSH for penguin, ALL the way!!!!!!

 

[Nightwing 52]

Hoffman is my second choice next to Hoskins. I remember when the Hoffman rumors first surfaced wayyy back alot of people were behind the idea, and I'm still in favor of him for the role.

Jones isn't that bad a choice either, btw.

 

[Bruce Malone]

I think toby jones would be great and someone I could realistically see nolan going for.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I would love to see Toby Jones as Penguin.

I see small kids act the toughest cause of their height complex. Their surrounded by taller kids and its the small kid who is the leader. Thank God Im not at high school anymore,lol.

I imagined a scene were Penguin is nice as can be too people in his Iceburg Lounge. But he heads upstairs to beat the life out of some guy who made a snide remark about his appearance.

I quite like that idea.

I'm not sure who I would cast as the penguin.

 

[Piuchén]

What if De Vito wasn"t Pinguin in Returns...

Would you choose him???
