Batman 3 rumor mill - Johnny Depp?

[Joker]

I want Mad Hatter and I want him to be played by Paul Dano. (Preacher from There will be blood)

[Batman]

I think Nolan said no Penguin, Robin, or Bat Girl will be in new Batman movies.

If Depp was in the next film, would anyone else find it ironic that Depp was in the Nolan franchise, but not the Tim Burton ones?

Actually, yeah, now that I think about it.

Personally, I am all for recasting the role of Joker.

I think it will be a necessity at some point. I mean, I love what Ledger did with the character, but the fact is, he's gone, and The Joker is a character that really will merit his role in subsequent films.

With Johnny Depp rumors about being in this film I am wondering who we would play. The first one to come to mind would be the Mad hatter But I'd doubt they'd have him as major villian and plus I think that would be way too "creepy" to be in a movie with the pedophile undertones of the character.

Also since the makers of the film have said in the past they want villians that haven't been in the movie before made me think of a few good options

Black Mask-this would be my favorite very good character and would bring the mob storyline into focus and honestly having Johnny Deep not showing his face actually could be a good thing.

Firefly-This is one of my favorite villians honestly and with all the dialogue between Wayne and Alfred about "Some men just want to see the world burn" Firefly would make sense and could be made realistic with no flying and just being an arsonist and seeing Gotham burn would make for awesome visuals and I think Depp could do alot with the character.

Ventriloquist and Scarface-again like Black Mask would bring the mob back into focus but also would be perfect as Scarface really it could be really sick to see his performance as Scarface and I think he could make him really scary.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Firefly's not a name that's bandied about a lot as a potential movie villian, but the character is PERFECT for Nolan's vision of the Batman world. He's someone who's MO is perfectly possible, if a bit exaggerated.

So is Zzasz.

For no particular reason they should put Calender Girl in the next one.



Mostly because "Mean Seasons" is pretty much my favorite TAS episode ever.

Or they could bring Harvey back as The Judge, his 3rd alter ego, that might work.

Johnny Depp...As the Riddler...

The Joker reminded me too much of the Riddler in TDK by all the clues he left, so I don't think bringing him in is a good idea for the next one. I'd just be like a lamer version of the joker. I say go with Penguin as some big mob boss along with somebody else to be the superfreak.

Please, please, please don't let ANY of these rumors happen. Depp is the most overrated actor today, hands down, and I really don't want the movie to turn into a "Pirates of the Caribbean" situation, where the movie becomes "Plot, dialogue, blah, blah, DEPP'S BEING SILLY! plot, characters, blah, blah, blah, HE'S BEING SILLY AGAIN, HE'S A GENIUS!"

Seth Rogan is WAY more Overrated then Depp.

[Deleted]

Depp is the only imo thats capable of playing the Joker right now. I really think the man formely known as Zeus who was seen at The Dark Knight will end up playing Bane, Phillip Seymour Hoffman would be a good Penguin or hell I'm going to get flamed for this but Jack Black could be a good Penguin as well.

Batman 2.5
They take a cue from sitcoms and have a "clip-show" movie that's just Bruce Wayne and Alfred flashing back to the previous two movies. Bruce is recovering from food poisoning the night before and even mentions a weird dream where he had a sidekick and they were playing hockey with a big frozen supervillain.

I don't want Jolie anywhere near the movie. I don't even want her in the rumors. Just NO[/i]! i think I only liked her in The Bone Collector. Well, maybe Gone in 60 Seconds. I'd much prefer Kate Beckinsale in the role, and I'm not even a big fan of hers. I really, really, realllllllyyyyy want Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy in the next one. Preferably with the White Rabbit and I as them. =)

I floated an idea in the main thread of Joker just absolutely BRUTALIZING his therapist at Arkham, even giving her a smile like his.....Harley Quinn.

Then SHE goes insane, hooks up with botanist and eco-terrorist Pamela Isley, and the two femme fatales tear up Gotham City. I think it could work in Nolan's universe.

Of course, like I said, when I floated this idea there, it got SAVAGED, so I guess you and I are the only ones who would like to see Harley and Ivy on the big screen. Hey, throw in Catwoman, and you'd have an all female baddie list for the first time in the Batman movies!

[Silent Brad]

If they're going to bring in Depp, atleast let him play The Joker. Not that I want them to recast, but If they did recast, the only actor I could see doing the role any justice is Depp. As for The Riddler, David Tennant was born to play The Riddler.

Couple of thoughts

No Jolie in any way please

Depp in any way please

Who'd want to take on the role of the Joker because it was some performance by Ledger (Dunno about Oscar Worthy like some people think but still good) and if it was followed up by someone else they'd get sick of the comparisons

Personally I'd like the Villian to be someone not seen in the Burton/Schumacher flicks

[Solid Stryk-Dizzle]

Anyone but Harley Quinn for the next movie villian.

[The Ichi]

Personally, I want to see Penguin next, and ONLY Penguin. I'm not a fan of more than one supervillian in a movie, it worked for Dark Knight but more often than not becomes a clustersmurf due to time retraints and trying to balance too much character development at once (Spider-Man 3, I'm looking at you).

Besides, using 1 villian = more sequels, which isn't a bad thing in the case of Nolan's Batman. Don't waste them all at once.

Batman's main villian next is going to be Gotham City anyway.

I'm still curious as to why people around here seemingly loathe the idea of them being the next Villain((esse)s. I love the idea of two awesomely bad females actually given some credit to terrorize. Much as I like the idea of Deep as Riddler or the next Joker, I'd like to see Harley and Ivy finally be given the credits they deserve as villainesses.

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

Bettany is such a creepy-looking SOB I think he could be a good Riddler too.
