Who should play the "villian" in Batman Begins sequel
 

I say "villian", but anyone who's seen Batman Begins will know who i'm referring to more specifically.

I'm not sure who should play him, the last actor was perfect, but it tone with Begin's more realistic style i imagine he's going to played a lot straighter. So my vote goes to Bruce Campbell.



Also, what will the sequel be called?
Batman Begins 2
Batman 2
Batman The Middle

Tim Roth

He's good too.

Click here if you've seen the film.

Sam Rockwell, Adrian Brody or Tim Roth

lol "Batman, the Middle"

In answer to your question: me.

ADMIN EDIT: spoiler tags added. The whole point of the thread is NOT to reveal what happened at the end of Batman Begins. Please pay attention.

Sam Rockwell or perhaps Christopher Walken as an older wiser bad guy. As for the title of the sequel, I think Nolan might look to Frank Millers graphic novels for his inspiration.

i think the guy who got fired at the end should become the "villain"!! ha!!! that was an awesome part!!

They already did this. Bale states in his interview on IMDB that Nolan, Oldman, and Bale himself used Year One (Miller) and The Long Halloween (Loeb/Sale) as a referent for the film. Bale said he kept those two graphic novels as well as Dark Victory on set at all times, to keep the character concepts fresh in his mind. As for the title, I am right there with you. Come to think of it, The Long Halloween would be a cool story to tell, and it would be the perfect structure to introduce more villains. I don't see them doing that though...

Cripsin Glover looks the part, and i suppose his young age is fitting, but does he have the acting range to pull it off?
For me he's to close to Cillian Murphy (who should be in the sequel as well).

The titles of the next two sequels will be:

Batman Continues
Batman's Not Quite Finished Yet

batman continues
batman over

guy pierce

I think they should just call the next one plain old Batman.

Crispin Glover is clearly the best fit as the Joker

Godzilla.

Batman Continues (i liked this one, TwentyOne)
Batman Revealed

Crispin Glover
Guy Pierce

As for a title, they should do something different for a change besides the usual "Part 2", Again", "Returns" and etc. We all know it's the second film (or sequel I may say).

Whoever the villian is in the picture, the title should not only refer to the Dark Knight but to the villian as well. I can't think of a good title though. :(

okay, this is an odd thought, but Denis Leary. I can see him being a seriously funny and frightening "villain." The man has proven his acting abilities on TV in the show Rescue Me, and he's funny as hell. honestly, I'd like to see a less infantile, and less...i dunno, flamboyant to the point of seeming gay (?) take on the character.

My other choice would definitely be Sam Rockwell.

That's more of a joke than a so-called" spoiler.

Ok, apparently Paul Bettany is rumoured to play him, alongside Crispin Glover and Luke Skywalker.

How about these for the newfilms?;
Bat again
Don't look Bat
and finally, Bats your lot folks!!!

Yep, I've been taking the silly pills again, but hey it's Friday, live a little!

What about Batman legacy and i think christopher walken should play the joker...

Sean Penn considered for The Joker?? What is this world coming to....I think Crispin Glover would play the villain too "weird." If you have seen him in "Charlies Angels", and "Willard", you would know how weird he can be. AND I mean [b][u]WEIRD.
For the title. hmm.... "Batman: April Fools?" "Batman: Laughter Kills"....it would have to incorporate the villain in some way. but, it doesnt have to be.... could be plain "Batman Lives", or "Batman"

Batman: The Killing Joke

I think that's absolutely perfect. :yup:

I think it's one of the comic titles, i read it somewhere. Personally it's too like the band.

As for a band, I have no idea what the hell you mean....but yes. It is a title for a Batman Comic with an excellent storyline. You nailed it perfectly for Nolan's next Batman venture. :D

There's a band called Killing Joke, so whenever i hear the that Batman title, i think the band

I think Sean Penn would do a good job in that role because I think he is great as over the top characters (as it goes along with his acting style). I was thinking of Geoffry Rush but he is probably too old. I like Monkeypunch's idea of Dennis Leary. I was also thinking of Jack Black, although he doesn't look the way you normally would think of the joker he has got the perfect personality for the role.

Personally I think Denis Leary would be a perfect choice.

Someone once said that the next Joker would have to be someone who could match the intensity of Batman onscreen, and I quite agree. That said, it's a shame Willem Dafoe has already played a comic book villain. He would have made an intense, extremely crazy, caged-lion kinda Joker, and that's what I want to see.

Crispin Glover and Adrien Brody are excellent choices, and someone said Sam Rockwell, which I can really picture, too. In keeping with the vain of Batman Begins, the Joker needs to be believable - flamboyant, but not over the top - a more serial killer type.

I think Paul Bettany should play the villian, he did such a wonderful job in Gangster No. 1

Sam Rockwell would be a good choice in my opinion, although I think Christopher Eccleston(Dr Who) would be a good choice. Sean Penn?, can't see it, but you never know. Who ever gets it will never be in the same league as Jack Nicholson, he was the joker

I know what you mean. His face was shaped like the joker's. Plus he's got that really weird smile.

I tend to agree with you on the obvious comparison that will be made to Nicholson, but I think Nolan will re-invent the Joker the same way he has done with Bruce Wayne/Batman. I expect to see a less cartoonish version of the Joker, and perhaps Nolan will focus more on the sadistic side of the character.
Whoever takes the role on, has to make it his own version of the Joker, I like the duality that Sam Rockwell could bring to the role, but I think Chris Eccleston is not a big enough name. Perhaps Nolan will go for a younger unknown actor. It's a shame Cillian Murphy can't be considered, I thought he was great in Batman Begins, would like to have seen his character more fully developed though.

POSSIBLE MALE VILLIANS
* Brad Pitt as Pete Fugate, AKA Disappearo!
* Carrot Top as Clyde Prickett, AKA The Joker's Lover!
* Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne, The Evil Batman From Another Dimension!
* Michael Jackson as Nan Hinojosa, AKA No-Face!

POSSIBLE FEMALE VILLIANS
* Kathy Bates as Desirae Bell, AKA The Hearing Loss Specialist, who wants all of Gotham to go deaf!
* Whoopi Goldberg as Trudie Tapia, AKA The Crocodile!
* Lindsay Lohan as Eleanor Shockley, AKA Electro-Bimbo!
* Christina Ricci as Sierra Martin, AKA The Witch!

Yeah, I'd like to see a scarier, more sadistic Joker because that'll fit with the "founded in reality" standard that the new Batman films will undoubtedly employ. Less of a cartoon, more of a serial killer.

Chris Eccleston is another great choice. He'd be an actor who could portray the more "serial killer" side of Joker, with just a little touch of mania. I don't think he's too unknown, either - or at least no more unknown to the general public than Cillian Murphy. (And who cares how big a name is, as long as the character is done right?)

need some more convincing for Eccleston as the Joker http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/4..._cards_203.jpg

I just read that the next villian may, in fact, be Two Face and 2 possibilities are Justin Timberlake and Liev Schreiber....

Call me crazy, but for some odd reason, I think Daniel Day Lewis would be good.

I am not quite sure of Liev Schreiber, but Justin Timberlake's involvement is a flat out rumor (thank God!).

I've heard weirder Timberlake news today- he's going to play the boyfriend of a sex-addicted Christina Ricci in Black Snake Moan, from the guy that made that Hustle and Flow film that was a big hit at Sundance.

Seems the Trousersnake is linked with loads of movies at the moment.
Is he any good as an actor???
IMO its has to be a rumour about him playing 2Face, I think Chris Nolan won't make those sort of misplaced decisions.
When will theses popstars learn, stick to what you're good(or not so good at-P.Diddy) at and leave the acting alone, I'm fed up with rappers and other popstars appearing in films, I have yet to see one of them give a decent and believeable performance.

The ones that spring to mind for me is Busta Rhymes in Narc and all of Ice Cube's movies

Yeah, if I remember correctly, Ice Cube wasn't too shabby in Three Kings. And even if the guy can't act, I can forgive him because he was in NWA.

No, the next villian will be the Joker. Harvey Dent may appear, but the Joker is the next villian.

Yeah suppose it would seem like that but what if Harvey Dent in the sequel took the main focus while Joker is built in the background up for the threequel? Perhaps Bruce and Dent could be searching for Joker when Dent becomes Two Face somehow and takes Batman's priority leaving Joker to, say, kill off his love interest in the climax.
I think it would be cool, cuz Joker is Batman's nemesis and it would give more time to make that clear and if we only see Joker's face at the end after he kills someone close to Wayne it would create a much fiercer villian for the next installment.

Here's my source for J-T and Two Face

Mark Hammel LOL

Ha-ha. No.

Sequel
 

I agree, in fact someone had previously suggested that they keep Katie Holmes just for that first part of the sequel to maintain continuum, and because she represents the remaining aspect of Bruce Wayne's former life that lingers on. Then somewhere at the beginning of the movie have the Joker finish her off, plunging the Batman deeper into darkness. Meanwhile have Harvey Dent take over the role of assistant D.A, who unwitting ends up aiding Batman in his quest for vengeance through his friendship with Bruce Wayne. But while Batman finally manages to put down the Joker (will assume it will not be an easy fight), he loses his new friend and confidante Harvey Dent when he's transformed into Two-Face. Here the movie ends with Bruce Wayne overcome with regret on how much good he's doing with an alter ego (since now he's indirectly caused the death of a friend, and the insanity of another), and on the edge of leaving it all behind. A giant cliffhanger to Batman 3! How cool would this movie be??

Would be powerful to have these titles for 2 and 3:
Batman: Desperation
Batman: Threading the line

Also, going a bit further - it'd be incredible if they would introduce a brand new Catwoman that adheres as much to her comic character as possible, in Batman: Threading the line to focus on the issue of dual identities. While Batman contemplates giving up his alter ego, our favourite cat burglar keeps him busy on the streets, sparking some love interest to temporarily soothe Bruce's now breaking heart. As in the comics, she is sometimes good, sometimes bad and rarely in between - and all this while Harvey battles his multiple personality complex. In a way they are similar, and after Batman attempts to counsel Harvey into taking reign of his life, it is therapy unto himself and it answers his own questions. At the end we see that the Dark Knight is here to stay. Perfect ending to a perfect trilogy!

Catwoman is pure fromage, i don't dig

I say Mark Hamill. It's been proven that with a good director (Kershner for ESB) he can produce a good performance, and Chris Nolan is a good director.

Plus he's been playing the Joker's voice for years.

But I've always had a soft spot for on screen* has-beens (hence why I've become a Kevin Costner fan :confused: ).









*As in he's no longer a successful on screen actor, despite his success as a voice actor.

It has been stated quite awhile ago now, Mark Hamill as The Joker is a rumour.

I know, I'm just saying who I think should play the role.

Paul Bettany is being hotly tipped as the new Joker. A darker more sadistic Joker, and will revolve more around his criminal involvements rather than being more like the cartoon.
In Nolan we trust!!!!

I hope no one play's him, because I hope that they don't make the sequel, because they should not take away Tim Burton's version of Batman. Batman Begins is a prequel, and that should be it, leave it at that. Now start where Batman and Robin ended. Also you can't get a better Joker then Jack Nicholson.

So far I have only heard some interesting choices as to whom they want to play The Joker, but whomever is chosen I will definitely look forward to finding out.

Once as news is heard of as to which actor Christoper Nolan and Warner Brothers approve on to definitely do the role, you can catch the news at The Movie Sequel Mania Redux thread. :yup:

I take back what I said about Hamill!

check out this poster- I think its fan made but it's certainly looks ace.
http://www.evilology.net/uploaded/joker2ge1nx.jpg

I totally think the Joker should be the next villian, but then again what do I know?
I thought the Scare Crow and Ra's Al Ghul were stupid villians until I saw Batman Begins, but they totally ROCKED!

I like that Lance :cool:

http://www.collorastudios.com/scimages/bts13.jpg

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374526/
Andrew Koenig

would be my choice, after all he has already done it and looks amazing as the Joker to me.

Cute Nose :eek:

Now tell me Eccleston isn't right for the Joker, fan art yes but come on that looks ace.

I like the choices here.....here's one to consider, maybe a career boost?????

jokes on you
 

christian slater, i never would of thought of him but i definetly see where your coming from, and altohugh a sick, sadisitc joker would be pretty sweet, i still think jack as the refined yet crazy joker is the best character style. so christian slater and mark hamill both have my vote and liev schreiber would make a damn good two face with maybe paul bettany or crispin glover as the riddler, save the really sick thin lookikng guys for carreys old role

Del Toro as Two Face

I read on Rotten Tomatoes, that Steve Carell is going to be the next Joker, any confirmation on this?

I heard that rumor also, but Steve Carrell's publicity folks said it's not true

thank god, I just don't think he could pull it off.

Christopher Walken playing on two batman movies and as two different bad guys. LOL

During an interview that Nolan gave, his ideas for the next two movies would have Batman and Harvey Dent work to capture The Joker and in that movie Bruce and Harvey would have become friends and Harvey's split personality would start setting in, by the end they would have caught the joker instead of killing him like the original movie did.
At the beginning of the second movie, during The Jokers trial, He splashes acid on Dent and that permanently sets in his split personality and he becomes Two-Face. Now Batman would be fighting against a dangerous villain and a good friend.
Personally, I like it.

First I heard about the two film arc. With certain things not even ironed out whatsoever for the sequel, it's hard to say.

I did read awhile back on Batman-On-Film, that there's a rumor the 'Untitled Batman Begins Sequel' will be filmed back to back with the third film but so far that does not seem likely.

I didnt read about if theyd be back to back but that would be the best way to do it. Its not like there wont be a third film, unless Joel Schumacher directs the sequel.

right now, the actors just agreed to do a sequel, and the idea for a third...for them....isn't on their minds at all.

You do realize the Joel Schumacher thing was a joke, right????

I haven't mentioned Joel Schumaker, and yeah.

Lucius Fox should die....

sorry but no one should wish another person's death. not even Bush's or Osama's.

Carrell said himself that he started the rumour., thats what I heard anyway.

Sure you can, since it's a fictional character.

There shouldn't be a sequel to Batman Begins, until a more creative director will take the job.. Nolan directed such a dull movie, imho.

No ideas out of the regular routine of "let's discover the hero's past and make him fall in love with a teenage career woman".. but that's the trend, so i doubt they will give the series a new birth.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS
These are rumors as far as I know and I just read the summary of the story that I found on TheMovieBlog.com but didn't read the full story.

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/news/articles/2437.asp

I read recently that Sam Rockwell is being seriously considered, and that both Bob Hoskins and Phillip Seymour Hoffman have been considered for the role of the Penguin.

Personally? I would kind of like to see Joaquin Phoenix. He can be crazy intense, and also funny when need be.

I heard Jake Gyllenhal is going for Two Face

i think Johnny Depp would do a real good job , and the sequel should be called Batman Joked

Hold on I'm getting a vision...Johnny Depp or Bruce Campbell...Ahh I lost it so what did I miss???...

Tim Roth..they wouldnt even need to put make-up on him. :D

Actually if it werent for him being a little to old, Tim Currey would make a good Joker, lol.

I know I'm probably going to get ripped for this...but I think Jack Black would make a good joker. He's cooky, strange...and he could do a good joker laugh and face. Just my opinion...

I want to see another female baddie, Uma thurman was great as poison ivy!
males....it would be interesting to see someone who normally plays the hero character in films to go over to teh dark side.

like the Joker's new girlfriend?

I think Jeff Goldblum would be perfect for the Joker. He would have been perfect for the Scarecrow too.

For some reason I think Chicagofrog would make a good joker.:D
