Bad ideas.



Good idea.

I'd really like to know what the heck Nolan's gonna do with the Penguin in his universe?

Mr. Freeze would probably be "cool" done as a realistic character.

I heard whispers of Penguin as a British arms dealer with Philip Seymour Hoffman playing the role. Didn't think it was that bad an idea. I still stand by my idea that Freeze should be done, with John Lithgow playing him. High class bank robber or something that uses liquid nitrogen to get past things like vaults and security systems.

Will Smith

Actually, that's still WB execs talkin'.

As obvious a choice as it is, and as un-hip as it is, I'd love to see Angie Jolie as Catwoman.

 

[Memnoch]

I could actually see Angelina doing really well in the role, but would she be up for the costume? And while we are at it, WHICH costume? I personally like the newer design, with the goggles and such.

PSH is interesting. Not Lithgow though.

Freeze needs a whole new angle -- something really new and different. Maybe an older actor, really old with a great voice -- like Ian McKellen -- a scientist experimenting with cryogenic anti-aging or something. I don't know.

I like the goggles too for Catwoman.

 

[Memnoch]

I dunno how the cryogenics would go for anti aging and keeping it semi realistic. I always wanted Lithgow because he looks incredibly like the animated Freeze. All I know is that things will become more clear after the release of TDK. Does Joker live? It's almost certain that Two Face does. Are they both caught if they both live? Do we get a set up for new villians? How many films will they want to make, trilogy, more?

You guys gotta pick actors who you wouldn't usually associate with the character. I mean, when talks of casting for Joker were going on, who raised their hand and said "Hey, I think Heath Ledger would be a great Joker"? No one said it, and now, we've gotten a fantastic Joker.

Expect the unexpected...actor? Although I'd love Philip Seymour Hoffman as Penguin.

Yep, I agree. That's exactly what I said above. It's the choices that won't come to mind that are the freshest. The reinvention of the whole thing.

 

[King Darkness]

Ben Foster is a great actor and I think he could bring something very different to the role of the Riddler. He was great in 3:10 to Yuma and Alpha Dog.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Now you got it.

 

[plasmid303]

I was thinking Steve Buscemi as The Riddler, but I guess he's too old now. Or Willem Dafoe before he took the Goblin role (again, a bit too old now).

I was surprised when they picked Bale for BB but only because at the time he wasn't a big name. The studio got something right.

 

[wofford29]

Paul Bettany would be my pic for the Riddler....

 

[Grange Wallis]

David Hyde Pierce would be the best choice by far "Niles" from Frasier... And you all know I'm 100% right!

 

[wofford29]

He'd be too hokey in Nolan's Batman universe.

 

[Grange Wallis]

He'd be too hokey in Nolan's Batman universe.

Under the correct direction he wouldn't, his tone of voice is dead on... Like his voice-over in Hellboy... and I've seen him play it straight before... Plus he is painfully thin which I think is a must for Mr E.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Paul Bettany would be my pic for the Riddler....

he could pull it off.... plus his wife if smoking hot...i wonder if he dresses up like david bowie in labyrinth for her??

I can offer insurance and good shipping rates..only thing is with insurance I cannot mark a low value on the customs form...

Joe

So, what does that mean? Could you PM me some "figures" please?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Nolan's universe seems to be chock full of pretty boys for his villains, so keep that in mind.

Bettany fits that I guess. May be a Riddler type. Hyde-Pierce, nah.

To have the package insured you would have to indicate the value of the package. A package that is marked as $150 dollars would get charged way more in customs than a package that is $15. Hope that helps.

Thanks, but that was clear to me. I ordered from the US before... Guess I mis-formulated my question. Besides I'd never let anybody put "GIFT" on my packages, because IF you $150 figure get's lost or arrives damaged, you get nada... I'd rather pay the custom fee than risk losing the money.
