If this ends up happening, I am going to kill you.

mckmas8808 · Jun 28, 2006

So they are making the same movie twice?? :/

AniHawk · Jun 28, 2006

It would never happen. Ever.

I like Robin Williams, but he would need to be as far away as possible from Batman as he could possibly get

master_shake_05 · Jun 28, 2006

OH NO PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS FAKE :/

I'm loading my pistol right now.... :*(

Ninja Scooter · Jun 28, 2006

Robin Willams has worked with Chris Nolan in the past, but i don't see this happening.

Bloodwake · Jun 28, 2006

Yeah... Robin Williams.

Love him to death, but I sure as hell don't know about the Joker.

BenjaminBirdie · Jun 28, 2006

The man reads DMZ so he can't be all bad.

he'd have to shave his arm hair at least for the role. it's a win win situation.

ZeoVGM · Jun 28, 2006

eh, anyone else think this COULD POTENTIALLY work?

at least the guy seems to be a big comic guy

Too old and recognizable :/

HomerSimpson-Man · Jun 28, 2006

Hmmm....no nonsensical guy and has done work with Nolan being the creepy killer guy...hmmm....

brandonh83 · Jun 28, 2006

Gackt.

Ripclawe · Jun 28, 2006

We asked Williams whether he saw The Joker as more over-the-top or dark.

"You can go both," Williams said. "As in madness, there's a lot of ways to go. I think you can really explore how bright and how nasty-funny he is, just like I guess what Kevin [Spacey] did with Lex Luthor, made him really funny, but yet still damaged... As evil is, accessible and yet still horrific. Jump back and forth all the time. I'm kidding... Kidding!"

he can easily pull it off but every damn movie i see with him in it, i see ****ing mork.

J2 Cool · Jun 28, 2006

You know what, get Gary Oldman to do it. Nobody would notice.

Suburban Cowboy · Jun 28, 2006

robin williams is capable of playing non-stupid humor roles. If he can act dramatically why cant he do joker?

Id like to see someone younger tho

Properly played, there shouldn't be anything funny about the Joker.

You know, that could work. Someone photoshop this stat!

davepoobond · Jun 28, 2006

it'd be good because he's crazy and bad because, well...there's other people i'd rather see.

Brannon · Jun 28, 2006

I can only imagine Jack Nicholson's face, not Mork's.

Maybe it's time for that to change...

"Now Batman, you shall DIE! Nanu-nanu!"

And make no mistake; if Robin Williams gets cast as the Joker, there WILL be a Nanu-Nanu thrown in there SOMEWHERE.

Lost Fragment · Jun 28, 2006

I don't know why everybody is freaking out. Robin Williams could be a great joker methinks.

Dan · Jun 28, 2006

Thanks, but no thanks.

Bloodwake · Jun 28, 2006

I know this isn't a great point, but isn't Jack Nicholson still alive?

He meant that Williams likes comic books.

Ninja Scooter · Jun 28, 2006

there's your joker.

C4Lukins · Jun 28, 2006

Williams definetly has the prior Nolan relationship on his side. There is something about such a well known face that makes them distracting in this sort of film. Plus the fact that he was supposed to be the riddler in Batman Begins. I just don't think he is right for it though. Williams does a great job at playing creepy, (Insomnia, One Hour Photo), but he is not menacing like the Joker should be. I think Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman(not possible), Edward Norton, and maybe Jude Law are perfect for the role. All of them have proven in the past that they can do that type of character. Otherwise I would go for an unknown.

I agree. Or Brody.

DMczaf · Jun 28, 2006

Pat Riley would make an awesome Joker

He would overpower the whole movie.

C4Lukins · Jun 28, 2006

I would have agreed a year ago, but he has played two terrible villians in the past year.

Brody would be great, I did not think of him.

I still think Crispin Glover can do exactly what the Joker needs to be. Insanely freaky while still having a slight edge of humor.

However, I wouldn't mind Brody, he's got the freaky smile.
