Heath Ledger, as "The Joker"

[Raineer]

Looks ok, the problem for me is that Nicholson defined the role in my mind. He's got the look down though, acting will remain to be seen.

The first thing I thought of when I saw that pic was of him taking it up the ass. There's no way I'll be able to take this guy seriously.

I will admit.... Michael Caine played the best Albert. In fact, he was the only reason I didn't demand my money back.

Alfred.

(Sorry, Batman fan here.)

There is a rumor Michael Caine won't be returning ;/

Well, I was mostly referring to the fact that he's bent over and looking over his shoulder with a facetious grin on his face. But that too.

My only hope is Katie Holmes doesn't return.

That would require Tom Cruise letting her out of the cage in the basement. Probably not happening..

I loove Christian Bale, he's so awesome in American Psycho, some parts of that movie are so hilarious. Machinist, too. Love him. I agree that the makers of the first film did a great job and I trust their judgement with Heath. He's a great actor and people should try not to define him solely from his character in Brokeback M.

[Sadler]

I quiet enjoyed his character in "the brothers" I personally see this being a good movie with him in...

Batman begins is nothing like the previous movies... they have to bring a realism to the story.... and I think Heath can pull this off without breaking a sweat,

The dude from Seven would be a good candidate.

He got the crazy look like a psycho and really menace voice.

Kevin Spacey? I dunno, he usually plays calmer roles.

Like Lex Luthor. And Dr. Evil.

His best movie.

Two new Dark Knight announcements:

Ryan Phillippe signed on as Harvey Dent/Two-Face.

Philip Seymour Hoffman is in talks to play The Penguin.



Discuss.


PS: I don't feel like starting a new thread so I added to the discussion here. Deal with it.

Considering that Bruce Wayne went to college with Harvey Dent, Ryan Phillippe starts out with 100 times the credibility that Billy Dee Williams or Tommy Lee Jones had going into the part.

I agree. I can easily see Ryan in this role, especially since this is still, for the most part, an origin piece. I picture Phillippe's Dent, once he begins his cross-over, to channel some of his "Cruel Intentions" performance.

I thought Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face/Dent was pretty bad, but it really wasn't his fault, at least not completely. The material he was given was god awful (obv).

Billy Dee Williams I thought was a middle of the road, servicable Dent. He didn't really have anywhere near the screen time that Jones did, so the basis for comparison is pretty thin. I would have liked to see how Billy would have portrayed Dent after his transformation to Two-Face.

Jones tried too hard. Sure, he could not have shined that turd of a script into a diamond, but it seems to me that he used it as an opportunity to overact and make goofy faces.

I think everyone in the "Joel S." era of Batman tried too hard. Either that or Joel was doing his Ed Wood impression with each take:

Tommy Lee Jones: <Gross over-acting>
Jim Carrey: <more of the same>

Joel S: "Cut! That was perfect!"
