Latest Batman Begins sequel casting rumours...

[mcsven]

Heath Ledger as The Joker and Ryan Phillipe as Harvey Dent? Interesting. I hope Nolan knows what he's doing...

 

[Guden Oden]

A rather younger cast overall than Burton and Schumacher's Batmen movies...

I don't disapprove, though I haven't seen all that much of either Phillipe or Ledger's works.

 

[KimB]

Ryan Phillipe might be okay, but Heath Ledger? I have a really hard time seeing him as the Joker.

 

[Bouncing Zabaglione Bros.]

Ryan Phillipe might be okay, but Heath Ledger? I have a really hard time seeing him as the Joker.

Think again...

Me too. Too gay after that brokeback movie.

 

[Zaphod]

Too gay after that brokeback movie.

He followed Brokeback Mountain by playing Cassanova, so I'd say those cancel each other out.

 

[John Reynolds]

I would've thought Ledger a strange pick, but after seeing his absolutely incredible performance in Brokeback I'd say he can pull any role off.

 

[Darkon]

I also heard that Robin Williams was interested in playing the part of the Joker.

personally though I think Robert Carlyle could make an excellent joker.

 

[MuFu]

Jim Carrey?

 

[Bouncing Zabaglione Bros.]

Jim Carrey?

He's already been the Riddler in Batman Forever.

 

[MuFu]

Hahaha, oh yeah. Shittles.

Ok, how about Julia Roberts?

 

[mcsven]

Cool! Phillip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin? This could be *sweet*...

 

[AlNom]

Hahaha, oh yeah. Shittles.

Ok, how about Julia Roberts?

 

[Dresden]

I heard Bea Arthur was playing Batman. And Robert Shaw as the joker! Anyone else heard this?

 

[mcsven]

Ledger has been confirmed, and the movie will be called The Dark Knight. Cool title. No word on who will be The Penguin yet though, if he's in it at all.

 

[John Reynolds]

Excellent. Both Bale and Ledger are young enough let the choreographers come up with some decent fight scenes.
