So apparently, according to Michael Caine, we're getting The Joker in the sequel.

Any confirmations on who will play Joker tho?

Not yet. So far everybody's been rumored ranging from Mark Hamill to Vincent Cassel to Crispin Glover.

I would not like Mark Hamil to be playing The Joker. It just wouldn't seem right. I can only see Jack Nicholson playing him, because he was the original Joker and it just seemed perfect.

the worst rumours were Robin Williams and Steve Carrell

the only Joker that i and probably most people consider original is the one from the animated series

I've heard some even worse rumors, like Jake Gyllenhaal - no he's not Joker, and no he's not Dent. He'd suck at both lol. I hate the idea of Paul Bettany too.

I heard a rumor about Jim Carrey.

That would be pretty cool.

I'm on board for Crispin Glover and Paul Bettany... though I hear they don't want Paul Bettany cuz he's played too many "creepy villains" lately... I mean the guy has played only 3 or 4 in his whole career I think... let him be the Joker!

But yeah... Crispin Glover would be good too... I didn't like the idea at first then I thought about it and he would make a perfect Joker, although I think he would have made a better Scarecrow... but I would never get rid of Cillian though, he was just too good in Begins! A bit short... but still, his acting was great, doesn't matter that Katie Holmes was taller than him, LOL!

Jake Gyllenhaal, Joker???!?!, TWO FACE?!?!? 😘 😘 😘 😘

ROFL... I know. Bettany would be a good CREEPY Joker...

That he would... I really hope they don't use the old "He's played the villain too much!" excuse and talk them out of considering him.

I don't think Bettany would be a good Joker. He's creepy, but I don't think he fits. And yeah, sadly I've heard Gyllenhaal before. Puke indeed. The guy's an alright actor but he totally should not be either one of those roles.

I agree that Jake Gyllenhaal would not be right for either Two-Face or the Joker... what are they seriously thinking by even suggesting him!

Its most likely the same people that suggest Vin Diesel and The Rock for 9/10 characters.

Those idiots! Probably Goyer... he's behind most of the dumb activities related with comic book movies!

are you serious?

he was a bad enough Riddler. and his physical acting is a bit now: really old...

No way they'll make him Joker, he's already been in a Bats movie... and besides, I think Nolan is trying to stray away from the memory of Schumacher's Batman films... I know I would if I was a filmmaker!

HEard rumours near the start that Justin Timberlake was to be the Joker.

And before anyone says here someone who i feel would fit the role.

He'd fit the role he's crazy, funny at times and well fit for the role, as for jim Carrey not too sure as he wasn't the best ever riddler.

Who is that? and Timberlake was rumoured for Two Face, not Joker... 🙁

Lachy Hulme or Crispin Glover would be my choices...Although Bettany would be decent as well.

As for Dent, I'd go with either Guy Pearce or Josh Lucas...Hugh Jackman seems to be in the lead for the role, but he's to memorable as Wolverine imo.
