I love what Burton did with him, so I don't want to see a reboot. Let other characters shine.



It's reboot, so you might NOT like TDK!


I like Penguin who's a businessman/drug dealer owns nightclubs. I like TAS more.
 
Strangely enough, Robin Williams can act very serious and sadistic, so thats an interesting casting choice.
 
I think Hoffman fits... it can be many folks who fit the part. Many will be displeased when they narrow it down to 1 lol
 
What about Williams as Jeremiah Arkham? He looked a little like him in One Hour Photo.

I wouldn't have a problem with Robin as Penguin, but realistically, I doubt he's on the radar for that role.

Robin Williams as Jeremiah Arkham would be an inspired choice, IMHO.
 
listen guys, i love robin williams, he's got serious talent, not only comedic. But as for him as the penguin, NO. NO NO NO. i would love to see him as The Riddler, but, he looks nothing like the penguin.
 
Williams could be Riddler also... i think they could really do wonders with riddler if they focused on the raw intelligence slant. Very smart folks would have to write the script.
 
I feel pity for Mr Williams first he was used a decoy to get Nicholson as Joker in 1988


Then he was offered The Riddler role which he declined cos he was still upset not being the Joker in Burton's Batman film

then in 2006 he wasn't chosen for the role of Joker.
 
Riddlers his chance imo. He cant audition as zany though.. thatd be a huge mistake.
 
I'd like to see Robin Williams in a Batman movie at some point...perhaps as Calendar Man...

I can see him as Jerimiah Arkham as well. In fact, one of the illustrations of him in Arkham Asylum even looks like Robin Williams....with BIG wild hair.
 
I think Williams could pull off the penguin. Hey I'd like Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but he looks like he might not be interested. Nolan has worked with Williams and he is avery versitile actor, so I wouldn't mind.
 
I think that Ian McShane should play The Comedian in Watchmen...
 
I would like it. The only worry is if he has the monocle and the cigarette, he might come off as Popeye.
 
Wouldn't like Willaims at all for The Penguin. I could see him as The Ventriloquist however.
 
Robin Williams is amazing and should be somewhere in this movie. . Penguin, Arkham, Maroni. . he could knock any of those out of the park.

Wow, never pictured him as Doctor Arkham...that would be interesting...but I still want him for The Ventriloquist instead; even though extremely slim chance of that character making an appearance.
 
Thanks guys. I think he could pull it off under the right direction. No squawking ala Bergess Meredith. I'm pretty sure he can even do a decent English accent.

This guy can do a "five year old" accent... not Penguin though
