There are rumors floating around about the next Batman villain. Three in speculation are The Riddler, The Penguin, and Catwoman. Each of them with their own big names attached which is good or could be bad.
The first let's get out of the way cause it was an old one. The Penguin with Phillip Seymour Hoffman. It was old buzz and what not and that's cool. He would probably make a good Penguin. I am all for that.
Now what about The Riddler? Well the producers think they know of the
perfect actor for the role. Johnny Depp.
Eh, maybe I am just tired of Johnny Depp after the Pirates movies or something.
Lastly, Catwoman. Who else but the girl in hollywood that everyone wants...no not Paris, or Lohan, or your mom. How about Angelina Jolie?
She is interested in the role and no telling if she would get it. For some reason I feel she is overrated, I just don't care for her. I liked her before she did Tomb Raider and went downhill from there (obviously not her popularity wise).
Are these good selections? Who would you rather see? I feel these two are night right for the roles. They are just too obvious to play those parts. Heath Ledger wasn't obvious for the Joker and look what that did?

As for Ms. Jolie. Fuck no, keep her away.
but I'm so conflicted with that due to Depp being one of my favorite actors and I know he could do a good job, but at the same time I don't want a sequel to the Dark Knight, it would need to top it, and that's impossible in my book.
PSH is pretty good, too, and supposedly he played an awesome villain in MI3 (I wouldn't know, I didn't watch it).
Angelina should just stay the fuck away from my Batman movies, travel back in time about 10 years, and do Gia 2.
But I'm all for Dark Knight being the last one. Totally fine with that.
Riddler - Eddie Murphy
Penguin - Eddie Murphy
I don't know. After the first two movies, I'll trust Nolan with whatever he decides on.
The Penguin would fit. Batman Returns tends to make people forget that he isn't some weird mutant. He's a short, fat, ugly, gangster.
but seriously, i would love to see the ventriloquist and scarface show up.
Actually yeah. Talia would be good though it would be a little boring with just her I think. It could be interesting though.

True. I'm sure they could make it work if you play up his gangster-ness and give him an army of mobsters or something. Maybe he could move in to the vacancy created by the events of Dark Knight. Or go the route that "The Batman" cartoon went and basically made him the evil Bruce Wayne.
What the fuck?
and I'm totally for cock.
That's why we need lot's of crazy gang members trying to act like the Joker. I like the idea of copy cat batmen and copy cat jokers duking out in Gotham.
Try talking about video games in your video game site maybe. ;)
Nah, maybe David Tennant or Paul Bettany.
Hoffman would make a great Penguin if and only if they keep the role small time and make him a much less deranged character than what we've seen previously with De Vito.
Jolie would make a great Catwoman physically, but I think she's a terrible actress (or at least in the movies I've seen her in). I don't really want to see her take yet another "strong independent woman who kicks ass" role like we've seen in almost all her other movies. It's just played out.
Clayface could be cool to see in a movie, but he's a little more super natural than what Christoper Nolan's going for.
Also "spoiler if you don't know batman stuff" Ra's Al Ghoul probably isn't dead. Lazurus pits keep him alive. Also his daughter could show up.
And lastly, I want more Joker. If Heath Ledger isn't available or doesn't want to do the sequel, I recommend Woody Harrleson for the role. The chick changed actresses, why not the joker.
However, casting Jolie and Depp would be a bad idea. They basically have the same problem that Jack Nicholson faced in the original Batman movie - they're too recognizable. I'm sure lots of people would pay to see them, but they'd be buying a ticket to see the actor, not the character he or she plays.
Rockvillian: "But I'm all for Dark Knight being the last one. Totally fine with that. "
Agreed. With Heath Ledger gone, there's no way they'd be able to follow up with any sequel with comparable quality. Just leave well enough alone.
hmmmm....
