Joker Casting

Okay, I don't really want Heath's Joker to be recast in this franchise, so, if there's a new Batman franchise not to far down the line (about 10 years are Nolan's third movie comes out) and they use the Joker, who would be some of your options?

For me I'd say:

Cillian Murphy

Johnny Depp

Okay, I'm not a real big fan of Depp, but him as the Joker is growing on me, so if he got the role I wouldn't be pissed at all.

So, how would you guys choose?

Cillian Murphy is the scarecrow in Nolanverse, im sure you know that, i dont want him to reprise a role in a batman movie as a different villain though.

Johnny Depp, he's alright, he can do almost anything. But id rather see someone else

Crispin Glover
Sean Penn
Lachy Hulme
Paul Bettany

were rumoured and pitched for the role of Joker, although WB said they were not interested in Depp or Glover. I would probably pick Bettany or Glover in my opinion, and if we ever see another Joker, after TDK trilogy, i wanna see TAS's Joker.

Cillian stays as Scarecrow and Depp no thanks. Besides I can't see a 60 yeard old Depp as Joker. If Batman is rebooted again in 10 years and I'm not thinking that they will be, in ten years The Joker will be played by someone who is a hot young actor

Crispin Glover is my first choice. I think he'd be excellent.

Adrien Brody could also be great.

Johnny Depp for certain could pull off a good Joker and fill Ledger's shoes completely.

dunno bout Depp man. I liked the original Willy Wonka Gene Wilder over Depp as Wonka. Better songs also.

Depp would never in his life be able to surpass Heath's performance. Now, I've never seen Adrien Brody as Joker material, but maybe it's just me.

i somewhat agree with you about Depp, although his take on Joker would probably be different than Ledger's. I also do not see what Adrien Brody could offer. But then again, im sure alot of people didnt see what Heath had to offer even with the teaser trailer with a voice clip, til they saw TDK.

I didnt know what to expect from Heath either. I went with the "In Ledger We Trust" thing. and trusted Nolan.

So its hard to tell what actors will offer to the Joker role and whether what they offer will be good or not

True, I'm sure that there are a lot of good choices out there, but I'd rather wait for a new series to see what they do with the character rather than get someone who will more than likely try copying what Heath did.

Btw, if I did go into acting, I'd love to play Joker once I got a little older even though I'm black. I guess if I did it, it'd have to be something where it's not an origina story at all. Then again, I doubt I'll be an actor.

follow your dreams

Daniel Day Lewis gets the top choice for me.

Feel free to photoshop.

How old is he?

Daniel Day Lewis would be amazing, but the sudden and drastic change of age would be a bit jarring.

Wurd to the crew who are thinking of Daniel Day-Lewis. He would be exceptional, or even Javier Bardem.

Doubt we'll see the Joker again in this series anyway.
