The Batman Reboot JOKER Casting Thread

[Rorschach2012]

Hell no. People have been suggesting Jude Law for Joker since 05. I wasn't feeling it then, and i'm not feeling it now

 

[Harry Dresden]

Still on your Dafoe craze?

I think Jude Law excels when he plays unrestrained characters. Even though Sleuth sucked, he did pretty well. He also has the perfect voice for the role I think.

 

[TheDarkKnight_NL]

Well what about Troy Baker :

Love his take on Hamill's Joker voice and might be as close as we're ever going to get hearing it a live action movie..

Yes. Dafoe is undoubtedly perfect for the role.

Edward Norton or Sam Rockwell

I like Norton, but I picture him more as The Riddler.

 

[bluerayer]

Yes. Dafoe is undoubtedly perfect for the role.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Norton would make a really good Joker or Riddler.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Don't see Norton as Joker at all

 

[JBArt]

It's difficult to picture a Joker who could come close to Ledger's portrayal, which was obviously the general consensus up until The Dark Knight regarding Nicholson's.

As history tends to be cyclical, I could see someone just beginning acting school being the next Joker in 15 years or so.

I know this answer may receive some eye-rolling (and maybe I'm overthinking it a tad), but I honestly can't see anyone filling that role at this point. Most of the suggestions I have either disagreed with or seen them fit into a Riddler role better.

 

[The Endless]

Nic Cage for Joker.

West had Ramero, Keaton had Nicholson, Bale had Ledger as Jokers I think if Affleck gets his sole film I say cast William Defoe as The Joker. Affleck's Batman vs Defoe's Joker it would be great if that happened.

That would be great.

ahhhhh **** yeah

Watch Primal Fear and you'll see a little Joker in him.

just watched some clips on youtube, you changed my mind

 

[batman_1989_]

Javier Bardem
Michael Fassbender
Jude Law
Christian Bale(you heard that right)
Jim Carrey

 

[Two-Face]

Christian Bale(you heard that right)

No to Bale as Joker. He is Bruce Wayne/Batman to me.

 

[Indy Flash]

Javier Bardem
Michael Fassbender
Jude Law
Christian Bale(you heard that right)
Jim Carrey

I like those picks.

 

[batman_1989_]

No to Bale as Joker. He is Bruce Wayne/Batman to me.

He and Keaton are the only actors who could be great in either roles IMO

 

[Eddie Dean]

Kilmer would have KILLED it!

 

[batman_1989_]

Kilmer would have KILLED it!

Kilmer as The Joker?Mmm I don't know about that

 

[Rodrigo90]

I'm completely blind in seeing that.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Seriously though. Michael Keaton for Joker. It's perfect.

 

[Rodrigo90]

As good as he may be, he's still Batman to everyone and to have him as Joker, I don't think people would get behind that.

 

[DrDoom]

Yes. Dafoe is undoubtedly perfect for the role.

Agreed, especially since Batman is going to be in his 50's in Batman V Superman. It makes sense for the Joker to be up there also
