I second whoever said Harley Quinn.

Too bad Ledger wouldn't be around to beat on her.

That would be so god damn awesome. :( Seeing him dragging her around and treating her like shit.

The media would be in an uproar.
 
Just have to post in here to mention the awesomeness of how much I want to watch it again.

Imax style.

The accountant would make one hell of a lame Riddler.

And you know, it's a shame we won't see Penguin, because I feel he is the natural evolution for the mob that have been so relevant to the entire series. He's something new in terms of the mobster element, and he's kind of like a culmination of everything that has happened to them. He would actually be really good. I also don't mind seeing Riddler, depending on how they do him, but you know, I'd rather see new villains.

David Tennant was chasing a part in the next one as The Riddler, really don't know if he could pull it off though, as much as I like him.
 
Frank Miller OKs Zack Snyder to do The Dark Knight Returns

At the Watchmen panel, Zack Snyder expressed his love for Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns, in response to a question about the more mature direction of comic book adaptations.

“There are a lot of other graphic novels out there, but I would love to see Frank Miller’s Dark Knight made into a movie, but that’s just me.”

Later at the Entertainment Weekly Visionaries panel, Frank Miller told Snyder “You can do it anytime you want to Zack”. To which Snyder said he was making a note of Miller’s response. Now I know this is very speculative, but even Batman producer Michael Uslan has already expressed interest in a possible adaptation.

Miller’s four-issue comic book miniseries, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, was first published in 1986. It has since become one of the most popular graphic novel/trade paperbacks of all time. It reintroduced Batman to the general public as the psychologically dark character of his original 1930s conception, and helped to usher in an era of “grim and gritty” superheroes from the mid-1980s to mid-1990s.

Set 20 years in the future, criminals run amok and a gang called the Mutants terrorize Gotham City as superheros are a thing of the past. Bruce Wayne has been retired from crime fighting for ten years following the death of Jason Todd, the second Robin. Despite Wayne’s funding the rehabilitation of Harvey Dent (Two-Face), Dent returns to crime. Wayne dons the Batman costume again and apprehends Dent, but the populace debates whether Batman is a savior.

But with Nolan expected to return for a third chapter in the series, might/could Warner Bros also launch a secondary Batman film? This practice is common in the comic book industry, where top franchise characters usually have a few titles running simultaneously, in addition to the occasional one-shot mini-series/graphic novel… Also, is Zack Snyder the guy to bring The Dark Knight Returns to the big screen?

There will only be on Riddler in my eyes, and that Jim Carrey.

Yeh just saw it, reviewed it on the film review channel so no point repeating myself (yeh in my top 10 best films I have ever seen). Now I would say they left it so that the Joker will return, which I would love, but I also resent the idea since I seriously doubt they will find anyone who can match Ledgers performance, sure the change of actor/esses can work as they did with Rachael. And as Samon said before, where I would love to see the Penguin, I think we could do with some new and interesting badies.

Its such a dark irony that someone can put on a performance of the likes that Ledger did, and then die straight after, makes me sad. He needs an oscar in his honor.
 
What? Carrey pitched that role perfectly. Once he shows up, all the other actors might just as well go home.
 
I like Carrey but I hate the character and I hate the way they did it.
 
Regarding The Dark Knight Returns film adaptation, the only way I can see that working is if it was animated.
 
Carrey stole the show in that film, but all the characterizations of the villains were dreadful.

He was Carrey first and the Riddler second.

Carrey was a goddamned awful Riddler.

This must be the first time ever I agree, Samon's right, Carrey was awful, unless your basing your Riddler characterization on 60's high camp shit storm, then I agree, Carrey pulled of the camp, over the top performance required. :p
 
Now that we're talking Batman:Forever, I think Tommy Lee Jones could have been a pretty good Two-Face, had he had a better script.

Anyone agree?
 
NO THIS IS WAR. I'M RIGHT U WRONG.

Not really. I'm not sure he really fit the part.

Couldn't have said it better myself, except that Carey is shit in that role. They should make the Riddler like some type of guy who uses numbers to kill people and is insane. Not some ADHD annoying **** tard. Also:

Jim Carey is brilliant with comedy, yet all comedians are secretly better when they do serious roles. They have to put on an act or something so people can laugh and are restrained to that role. Regardless if he is is his late 40's. :rolleyes:
 
I think Two-Face is just a boring character all together

OOO LOOK AT ME MY FACE IS ****ED UP NOW I'M ALL ANGRY

Would like the Riddler in the next Batman btw
 
I think Nolan could have a great time with The Riddler in his world.

He's probably the most sympathetic in Batman's Rogues Gallery. In the Animated Series, Harvey Dent had Split Personalities before the accident even happened. When his face got messed up, it just made the evil personality the dominant one. He is also interesting, to me at least, in how he does his thing. I like the concept of choosing someone's fate over a coin toss. See also, No Country for Old Men.

And yes, Riddler would be a great villain if they do it right, which i'm sure Nolan will.
 
Two-face and Riddler in Batman Forever were just Jokers who couldn't be as cool.

STFU. Two-Face was an excellent villain - the good guy gone bad, driven insane by lost love etc.

Tthat's not how he was in Batman Forever at all, which was what Bam23 was talking about, not The Dark Knight.
 
They could pull of the Riddler rather well in that set universe Mr. Nolan has created, clayface wouldn't work too well since he'd be mostly CGI and Nolan doesn't like CGI that much.
 
Watched the movie last night and man was it good! very satisfyed with it. I thought everyone was just hyping Keith Ledgers performance since hes now dead but he played the Joker so well! You really get the feeling that this guy is out there jsut to cause mayhem and chaos and doesnt care about respect, money and greed... a brilliant villan I must say.

The story was very well told and Batman is definantly more darker and serious but I like that. Cant wait to see whos the villan in the next one.. oh bale should be The Batman forever!!
 
I saw it yesterday and it was everything I hoped it would be. It had a lot more action and cool factor than Begins, but was almost equal, story wise. Heath Ledger's Joker was perfect - an anarchist with a God complex rather than a regular ol' psychopath. Nolan directed well, and Bale acted well. And it was unpredictable from beginning to end. People that I actually cared about got hurt or died.

Batman got stronger, cooler and darker. By the end of the movie he had become the Dark Knight that I always hoped the movies would portray.
The "magic eye" plot device near the end of the movie was a little cringe worthy, but they pulled it off as well as they could.

The only thing I felt went wrong was the city of Gotham. TBH, Begins made it too much of a ghetto, but this movie made it a little too clean. It's supposed to be the most corrupt city on earth, not NYC. Not only that, it was a glaring inconsistency between the previous movie and this one.

Well I think we never really saw the best that Gotham had to offer in the first, in the second we see more of that with the focus on Harvey Dent, not to mention as the film stated, when he was in power he got rid of a lot of the scum that Gotham had on offer and cleaned the streets to a large degree. Thats the way I see it.
 
Its in Italian if thats what your talking about.. otherwise its Jim carrey playing Ace Ventura in When Nature Calls

No shit, but if you are gonna show us a clip with Jim Carrey in it, at least use the original footage, I really cannot stand foreign dubs of actors, thats why I never even go near a TV when on holiday.
 
I couldnt find the English version... but still they use Jims voice for the actual Shikaka bit
