Just a rumor now, but do you guys think its a good idea?

Actually yeah I do think he would be a great joker.

I simply cannot wait til Mr Parker and Bakerboy see this

Its funny what stuff websites will post.

Next week: "Will Harlan Williams play Bane?! Casting rumors state Richard Simmons for Firefly!!"

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Michael Keaton is Batman, not JOKER!!!!!
Val Kilmer sucked, Clooney sucked triple.
Dont know how the Bale was, but Keaton is in
my opinion the best Batman. Keaton for life.

agree with u, Ock, I do....

Keaton would be 2nd on my list. You should watch Batman Begins if you haven't yet. It's awesome!! Bale does a much better job than Keaton, altho Keaton was the bomb too.

But I agree, Kilmer and Clooney sucked.

Keaton would actually be quite good as the joker if he borrowed from his Beetlejuice performance. Yes, it would look odd but Keaton is a versatile actor and under all that make-up who knows?

remeber that Keaton was a comedic actor before he was cast as batman, so I think he could do a good job

Anyone who's seen more of his movies than just batman really shouldnt find it that weird for him to play the joker. I'd love to see him play the part.

well since reynolds in is gonna be the flash, you can exclude him

Christen Bale -Batman

Michael Keaton -Joker ?

That Guy was in the Oringinal 1

He could not even move his neck practiclly the whole film!

I don't think so, but I might be wrong.

First of all: this rumour is totally false because nolan and goyer and warner doesnt want any actor of the previous movies to be in the new franchise.

Second: he would be a so terrible choice as he was as batman. He doesnt look anything as the joker as he didnt look anything as bruce wayne or batman.

mark hamill should play the joker

How does he not look like the Joker? Are you just an Anti-Keaton Fanboy or what'S your Problem......now Nicholson didn't look anything like the Joker and he did an outstanding job.

Anyway Keaton would probably look pretty cool as joker...but I very much doubt that he will be it.

For your information, im not anti- keaton. I think that he is a good actor in many comedies and dramas. His performance in clean and sorber is oscar material. But he isnt batman or the joker. Also, it would be stupid to cast some of the actors from the previous franchise in the new movies, and specially stupid to cast an actor who played batman in the joker role. It doesnt make sense. That is the problem.

I can see your second point..I juist think he has more similarities with Joker than Nicholson....

he's skinnier than Nicholson at least.....

but when someone mentioned Beetlejuice, I could totally see it. And if he did play Joker well, I think that'd be pretty monumental. To see a guy play both the hero and archvillain well would be pretty amazing.

that wouldnt be amazing. Considering I have only seen him in movies and roles similar to his bruce wayne of batman...he' just too calm and cool...(jack frost)

was he beetle juice?

Definitely

well tha'ts why IMO it would be amazing to play characters totally at the opposite ends of a spectrum...and actually pull it off

I think that would be awesome if Keaton would be joker...
Keaton was my fave Batman untill Christian Bale came along......

the ONLY thing correct in this post is that CLOONEY sucked triple.Kilmer didnt suck,he just had lousy lines.Keaton would be a much better joker than he ever was as batman.He sucked big time as batman.

Keaton was only the bomb because he bombed as Batman.He was the worst casting choice in comicbook history.He was so physically wrong for the role.Keaton sucked worse than Kilmer ever did.

This is completely off topic but i didnt think the following comment required its own thread. I heard that the little kid who batman gives the nightvision scope to and who gets saved from the arkham inmates along with Rachel in batman begins is going to be Robin in future movies. I think its complete B******s. But what was the relevance of that one same kid showing up and having speaking parts and faith in batman? LOL

it is bullshite...the kid is like what 7yrs old. The relevance of the kid showing up and having faith in batman is because kids look up to people...heroes...there will always be corny segments of super hero films where a kid will show up and say something about their hero...

keaton as the joker? you know how these stupid rumors start? some unbelievably open minded MOD looks through the forum for rumours, from plausible to downright stupid

Good idea!
