[Boom]

This guy just came out of nowhere. Very curious to hear how he got brought into the fold.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Guess its all about who you know

 

[hulk24]

Pheonix could totally work in a battinson film because the joke the shrink wouldn't get, is that the entire movie was a hallucination. None if it actually happened, which is why he escaped at the end.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Meh. Reeves deserves his own joker.

 

[Zorro]

Yeah he does

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I thought the whole appeal of Joker was that it was an R-rated elseworlds tale movie that doesn't fit the typical comic book movie formula and breaks the mold? Isn't that why it generated the buzz it got? Seems like tying it to Reeves' Batman franchise would just take away from what made it so unique in the first place.

 

[Invader Joker]

Probably doesn't mean absolutely anything but I found it a bit random how Egerton commented here

 

[TheSmoothKnight]

Would be awesome if Egerton was cast in this movie, IMO. Very good actor.

Paul Dano is not missing a chance to be in the Batman.

"Plemons is replacing Paul Dano, who was forced to drop out of the movie due to scheduling conflicts with “The Batman,” for which Dano was recently tapped to play the Riddler. Sources say Netflix and Dano’s team tried to work it out but in the end, the scheduling issues were too difficult to overcome."

 

[Rorschach2012]

Thank god! Plemons is great but Dano is a perfect choice for Riddler.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Oh, Christ, that headline scared the **** out of me. I thought it was gonna say Dano got replaced.

 

[TheSmoothKnight]

 

[Boom]

I'm destroyed.

 

[TMP98]

[Invader Joker]

I doubt this is going to be the last piece of casting news we'll get today. Someone in the trades is gonna want to compensate not getting this news.

 

[Man in the Suit]

Announced on twitter before the trades?

 

[Travesty]

That's another one I can't see right now. Turturro as Falcone?

I mean, alright.....

 

[Arachnerd]

Give him the scarred look and the mustache and he looks really similar to Falcone in The Long Halloween.

 

[Gothamsknight]

This is just fantastic casting. I can see a long Halloween esque falcone.

 

[Schlosser85]

Picturing Turturro as a mobster isn't hard. Picturing him as this suave Godfather-esque Long Halloween version of Falcone is a little harder, but it'll probably be fine.

 

[Travesty]

He's mainly skittish and jumpy in every role I've seen him in. I just don't see him as a mob boss.

But who knows, maybe he'll be great. I just don't see it right now.

That’s my hang-up. I could see him as some goon or something, picturing him as a more cool, authoritative Don is harder.
