The Dark Knight (SPOILERS START ON PAGE 3)

Cartilage Head:
 Some villains are really dumb.

JediBendu:
And I don't think The Riddler should be hired by Gotham City if he's going to be the next villain, that just wouldn't fit. If there's going to be any villain that's officially hired to get rid of Batman I would actually much rather have it be Deadshot. That would definitely provide a different kind of villain then we've seen in the first two Nolan Batman films, giving Batman a more physically capable villain to fight than most of the calculating villains there've been so far.

I don't think Deadshot could carry the entire film on his own, but I think he could be one of the more likely villains officially hired to kill or apprehend Batman, since he has ties in many of his stories to crime-fighting and the government anyway. Maybe some of the more corrupt factions in Gotham's government could hire Deadshot to kill Batman, after being frustrated by Gordon not taking care of it. He wouldn't be the main villain in the end, more than likely, and he wouldn't get an origin story, much like The Joker. I can see a Batman film opening with Deadshot interrupting a Batman operation and leading into a very action-packed sequence. Meanwhile, Batman could fight a truly criminal villain like The Ventriloquist & Scarface or The Mad Hatter who are threatening the city, while Deadshot threatens him at every turn. Maybe in the end he's finally turned away from killing Batman (maybe Gordon is able to take care of the officials who hired him and stop payment?) and he could end up helping Bats in the end?

Okay, so maybe that last part is a little cliched, you could take that or leave it. But anyway, in conclusion you should add Deadshot to the poll, goddamnit. The more I think about it the more right it sounds to me.

Plus, he's just badass.

blanktom:
How about giving Batman an ally?!

Votes on who? A re-introduction of Robin seems unlikely...but Nolan could pull it off so well I'm sure.

Bayley:
I need a huge disclaimer before making this post:

I very much enjoyed Heath's performance. I thought it was one of the only truly original character creations I've seen in a while, and I can go on and on about his performance, the Joker, the philosophy behind it, etc. No one could ever truly recreate what he did.

That being said.


If they were going to try to replace Heath and find someone to fill the shoes on this Joker, does anyone else see Johnny Depp at least half-pulling it off? A regrettable but at least somewhat acceptable replacement, for continuity's sake?

Think about Fear and Loathing, the first Pirates movie. He is pretty damn good at those sort of characters. He is pretty great at becoming the character's he plays. This might be a little harder because he has to recreate someone else's portrayal rather than invent the character himself, but he might be able to do it, no? I mean their facial bone structure is very similar. Those pictures of Heath before his death, with the facial scruff, the long hair? He actually looks quite similar to Depp. And as the role requires a great deal of make-up....


Thoughts, anyone? Try to suspend hatred of Depp for more recent career lame-ity. You know he can act.

Ozymandias:
Fuck
the idea that because
Johnny
Depp can pull off weird and off-kilter performances, that means he automatically should. If anything, Heath's performance shows that there's potential for that kind of thing any any decent actor and
Depp
shouldn't be the go-to guy for "we need dark and weird".
