Bring on Batman 3: Johnny Depp

Started by willofthewisp4 pages

I hate all things related to Wonka, even (shields body from upcoming harm) the beloved children's book. I just can't stand it. And I couldn't stand for the Riddler to be that...flamboyant's not the right word. I'm going to go back with wacky. Johnny Depp is perfectly capable of playing people with astonishingly high intellects and I'd like to see a performance that calls attention to that in addition to Nygma's narcissism.

If Depp is indeed cast to play the Riddler. I don't think there is any question whether or not he can pull it off. Depp usually shines in roles of the more obscure. With Nolan behind the Camera i would be confident in whomever is cast to play the next villain. The only thing that i think could hurt the decision to cast Depp is his notoriety. If he wasn't such an ambiguous actor in nature i would be entirely against Depp playing any comic book villain or hero. As long as Nolan and company continue the franchise with a darker tone, i have full confidence in those filmmakers.

Depp would be great casting for the Riddler I just can't stand the character that's all.

Again I don't know why you assume the Riddler would be like Willy Wonka. None of the characters that Johnny Depp has played are really much alike at all, he plays completely diverse roles and he is very good and delving into different characters and giving them their own quirks. Just because Johnny Depp played a wacky character like Willy Wonka in Charlie and the chocolate factory doesn't mean he's gonna be wacky in all the rest of his movies. I don't know if you saw Sweeney Todd but there was not one thing wacky about that character, he was off his nut crazy and that was after Wonka with the exact same director and the characters are nothing alike. Again this reminds me of some of those people acting like the Joker would automatically be a gay cow boy because Heath Ledger was playing him.

For me I have no doubt that Johnny Depp can do almost anything.

Oh, I don't assume the Riddler will be like Willy Wonka, and Sweeney Todd was wonderful. I was using it as an example on how easily a good actor can take a role like that and make it ridiculous. Take Jim Carrey's performance as the Riddler, for example. I'm sure Johnny Depp would do a much better job, but I'd just be curious to know how he would interpret the character before actually being in the movie.

Johnny Depp didn't make Willy Wonka ridiculous though, Willy Wonka is ridiculous. And Jim Carrey is not a good actor. What he did with the Riddler is what he did with all his characters during that era. He mad the character a Jim Carrey character instead of actually playing the Riddler, and that's partially Schumacher's fault for not stopping him but he wasn't a good director for the Batman franchise anyway

Can people maybe talk a little more about the idea of Johnny Depp as the Riddler rather than whining about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Maybe?

You could start that by contributing a post that does just that.

I want Johnny as the Riddler

but that's awful. don't scare me like that

I don't think they should make a Batman 3.

Seriously. Look at all the (good) superhero franchises. Examples? X-Men was good. X-Men 2 was awesome. X-Men 3? Meh. Spider-Man 1 was good. Spider-Man 2 was awesome. Spider-Man 3? Meh. Batman '89 was good. Batman Returns was also good. Batman Forever sucks balls.

See? There is no superhero franchise that made it to a third movie while staying awesome. TDK is the ultimate Batman movie; it simply cannot be improved. Hell, all the good villains were used up, for once. Why not end the Batman movie franchise on the best imaginable note?

I mean, seriously. Can anyone imagine a better Batman movie than TDK? Except for TDK -10 minutes?

I like Depp, he's a good actor, can he play Riddler?........for me it's a no.

There wil be many Batman movies

Will they try to top TDK...Yes

Can they top TDK..Frack no

I think TDK was left open for an awesome part three. It didn't end on a happy ending, Batman is on the run from the law, Two-Face might not be dead (cop out!) the Joker and Scarecrow aren't dead, there's still plenty of villains left, and Gordon will be the guy to go to hunting down Batman. He'll also have his new mansion and new batcave.

As much as I'd love for the Joker to come back (at least in a cameo), I don't think they'll let him. People will be swearing all over the place for 'disrespecting Ledger' or something like that, and frankly, I can't imagine anyone else in the role of the Joker.

They just made the ultimate Batman movie. Why do you need to make another Batman movie that will be inferior, just for the money? Seriously, let's the Nolan franchise go down in history as a perfect franchise.

I think Chris should move on to do another superhero movie. A dark one, ye know. I think he could make an excellent Punisher movie, teh be honest.

Oh, and did you people hear that the new Superman movie coming out is gonna be dark, like TDK? God, this is gonna suck.
