    The Dark Knight Rises

    I though I my as well and make a thread for this to clarrify alot of things. First off, there is so many Rumors and so many diff. stories to how the Batman 3 movie will be set up. You go on Youtube and you get like 80 videos of Home made trailers. I found this in my search, while not confirmed I think it is interesting. For those who say it is old news or say you already heard about it, this is for those of us who havent.

    http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/09/08/whaaaa-michael-caine-confirms-johnny-depp-up-for-the-riddler-philip-seymour-hoffman-for-the-penguin-in-batman-3/

    In the article above says what Micheal Caine "Supposedly" told MTV's Splash page that Johnny Depp will be Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin.

    Taken form article:
    “I was with [a Warner Bros.] executive and I said, ‘Are we going to make [a sequel to The Dark Knight]?’ They said yeah. I said, ‘How the hell are we going to top Heath? And he says ‘I’ll tell you how you top Heath — Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.’ I said, ‘****, they’ve done it again!’” [Laughs]


    So just to ask, is there anything even confirmed for another movie? If this thread should not of been made just close it up Mod's. I just made this to get peoples views and maybe some facts.

      There's one reason why Johnny Depp shouldn't be The Riddler:






      Jon Cryer would be a perfect fit.

        Cryer, I feel, would be way too...light-hearted...for a Nolan movie.

        And the only thing "confirmed" for Batman 3...nothing, not even the movie itself, has been confirmed.

          Yeah, It's all just rumor and speculation. Hell the Brits came up with a rumor where Cher was gonna play Catwoman!

            Forget Depp. Great actor, wrong role because any unusual characters he's ever played are roles where he hams it up, there's nothing sinister about him. Let him keep playing pirates. Ben Foster would be the perfect Riddler.

                I read somewhere that Hoffman has rejected the rumour. I heard Angelina Jolie and Kate Beckinsale are interested in being Catwoman but the director/producer Christopher Nolan said it was unlikely that catwoman or the Penguin would be in future films.

                  Ben Foster would be a badass Riddler IMO.

                    But isn't Jack Sparrow an unusual character?

                    Reality is, Johnny Depp would be great for the role because he plays unusual characters brilliantly. The man is a top notch actor. He is never the same man twice.

                    I think people are afraid he'll Willy Wonka it. He's not going to do that. He's actually never Willy Wonkaed anything with the exception of Willy Wonka.

                    Don't forget the many other roles he's done very well.

                      I would still like to see Jim Carrey again... I think he could pull off dark and sinister.

                          I agree with this. Yes, his riddler was pretty crappy before, but the whole movie was. He has shown that he can play a dark character too.

                            Yes Jack Sparrow is an unusual character. I stated that any unusual character he has played he hams it up. If you don't think he hammed it up for Sparrow then I don't know what to tell you. He's done it in differnet degrees for Willy Wonka, Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd, Once Upon a Time in the West.

                            By hamming it up I don't mean he goes Willy Wonka everytime he does an unusual character but he plays it with a smart-alecky, light heartedness that isn't the least bit frightening, He doesn't belong in Nolan's Batman, Tim Burton's Batman he's more suited for.

                            He can play quirky characters very effectively and I think he's brilliant but not every actor is right for every role. The Riddler is not your standard quirky character and after Ledger's Joker the bar has been raised.

                            Depp to me isn't convincing as someone who is about to go off the edge in a murderous way. No matter how much you disguise him he will still come off as a pretty boy. The Joker's character has the menacing makeup which hid Ledger's looks, the Riddler doesn't have that. You don't think Ben Foster would be more effective as the maniacal geek who feels like an outcast in society. Go watch Alpha Dog or 3:10 to Yuma and tell me you don't think this guy is not all there and has Riddler written all over him. Read up on some stuff he did to prepare for Alpha Dog, this guy is half nuts.

                            It's a mute point anyways because based on Nolan's history of casting choices I don't think Depp is even on his radar. I don't think he wants his movies as an excuse to showcase big name actors as villains which was the previous franchise's downfall.

                              I was incredibly skepticle about the Ledger casting but it worked out brilliantly. Anybody Nolan and Co. chooses to cast will get the benefit of the doubt from me.

                              As for the Michael Caine thing, I think either he or someone he talked to was having fun with the hype. Everyone seems to be banking on the Riddler as the next villain to the point where I think he won't be picked. I'd love to see them find a villain and adapt him/her to the Nolan world, but I don't know who they'll eventually settle on. Next to the Riddle, Talia Head is the most obvious or anyone having to do with the League of Shadows. Semi-realistic baddies like Black Mask and Bane could work as well. It's also possible that there will be no big villain for the third and it will just be Batman going against the mob.

                              Nolan hasn't even signed on yet so it's likely he's going to take a long break before tackling the next Batman project. It will probably be a good year or so before the film starts to take shape.
