The Dark Knight Rises You Have My Permission To Lounge - Part 6

[The Joker]

Acting wise he was the best.

I completely disagree. Caine owns him in that area, too. I'd even rank Gough in B&R above him.

Michael Gough never dropped a beat.
Bringing this guy up made me think of how amusing it is that the DCEU guy is the first movie Alfred not played by an actor named Michael.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Gough is my favorite, followed by Caine.

I did like Irons a lot though.

 

[The Joker]

Well if we want to get technical Alan Napier played Alfred in the 1966 Batman movie. So Irons isn't the first.

Caine then Gough then Irons. Irons was my favorite part of BvS though. I hope Ben gives him more material if that movie even happens.

I find it completely unfair to rank Ben, Jared, Jeremy or J.K against the others because they really need to be in a Batman movie first..

 

[Slade W]

If Letoker can go from what he was in SS to a character that you can compare to TDK Joker without laughing, then that would be quite the turnaround.

 

[shauner111]

It can happen but the chances are slim. At the very least he could improve and be close to Nicholson. Of course some people think Nicholson was the best, but let's be honest here, 50 year old Jack was playing 50 year old Jack in some Joker makeup. And it was awesome back then, but it wasn't on the level of Heath. Jared can take his craziness to a whole new level (hopefully a level that works) and in other instances, he can tone his performance down. How? Affleck's directing. So let's all hope that Ben makes the movie.

I don't care how bad Live by Night may be, Ben won't write dialogue that can be seen as worse than what Leto had to say in Suicide Squad. I actually didn't know that Suicide Squad's script was written in a few weeks until i read about it on here. Which explains a lot.

Theatrical, not linked to a show.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Irons being on the shortlist is probably mostly due to Assassin's Creed. I haven't seen it, but I've heard he's terrible in it.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

I just love Irons' Alfred. The character's dry, sarcastic nature is a perfect match for Irons' booming voice and slow delivery. His snide remarks on Batfleck were the only things resembling life and wit in that horrible movie.

 

[StarLord]

Yeah. He wasn't in BvS all that much. Probably a nom for Assassins Creed.

 

[The Shape]

I loved Iron's Alfred, too. Hard to say he's the best or my favorite Alfred based on his small role in BvS, though.

Michael Gough might be my favorite overall, primarily due to B89 (and also that awesome Diet Coke commercial).

 

[shauner111]

Irons is awesome. The characterization is a little strange, but not tooo much. He's perfect casting though.

 

[The Joker]

Irons has my respect for saying BvS deserved it's bad reviews. But his Alfred wasn't anything special.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

And his performance is not raspberry worthy.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Anyone else realize the changing dynamic of the Alfred/Bruce relationship in the movies? In the Burton pictures Alfred felt more like a gradpa. In the Nolan movies he was like the father Bruce never grew up with. In BvS he is more like an older brother.

In the next incarnation of Batman Alfred is gonna go full Q. He will be an younger butler.

 

[shauner111]

Irons' Alfred is more like an uncle. Which is what Nolan described the Lucius-Bruce relationship.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

No way Robbie deserves to be anywhere near that list. She gave an excellent performance as Harley and did the best she could with the material in Tarzan.

Personally, I hope Leto gets a nomination and goes on to win it. Dreadful all around.

I think Collateral Beauty may sweep most of these though.

Is the Gotham version more like the father or the grandfather?

Father

 

[shauner111]

The A-Hole father. So the opposite of Caine.

Incredible art! Nice find, Shauner.

Remember when we were all excited about the Gotham city we thought we were gonna get when the airlines commercial got our hopes up? It had axis chemicals and everything. The actual Gotham was just nondescript lines of black buildings. Just like Metropolis.

Forgive me. Metropolis had the world's largest toilet for birds. The superman statue.
