Batman updates
Sep. 1, 2008
Holy shit Batman updates!! First up, THE DARK KNIGHT just broke the $500 million barrier domestically in half the time it took TITANIC. Which is ridiculous. I'm in Malaysia right now and when I took my parents to a midnight showing a couple of days ago we were forced to sit in the front row because it was still almost selling out. I've seen it like seven times or something now but I just can't stop. This thing is like the water that guy engineers in THE TUXEDO. Except it doesn't kill you.
Also in a hugely throw-away comment, Johnny Depp has spoken about possibly playing The Riddler in the next Batman movie. Then next Batman movie that doesn't even really exist yet. Still, here it is:
Host: Hey Johnny, a listener called in earlier said you have to ask about the rumors on the internet of you doing the Riddler.
Depp: Oh yeah I heard about that. Not that I know of.
Host: You'd be a good choice.
Depp: It seems like it'd be a fun gig for a while, yeah.
So there you have it -- Johnny Depp is probably maybe would love to is down with the idea but definitely wants to oh my god it's happening down with playing The Riddler. Negotiations will likely begin tomorrow.

This movie strives on the fact that the characters are fulfilled by Hollywood talent that has yet to create a mold for themselves. Angelina, same thing. She has already been seen too much and is justa tabloid face anymore. Yes she is talented and sure shed look hot in the outfit. But there are more qualifications to this string of brilliant casting decisions. PS Hoffman is on the fence as Penguin. He hasnt really been type-cast. Depp is the Burton Boy and always

But there are more qualifications to this string of brilliant casting decisions. PS Hoffman is on the fence as Penguin. He hasnt really been type-cast. Depp is the Burton Boy and always will be. Sure he would do a good job, but there are many that would rival his performance without having to deal with the name recognition aspect of a casting director whoring themselves out for that fact alone.
So no...if this were any other flick I'd be pissed...but heck it's TDK so bring on the rumors, the gossip, the words that some guy on the street said to some other guy that had the words 'Dark, Knight, Batman, and 3'

Enough with the enoughs!
Methinks people on here bitch too much. Schmoes like this movie, and they want to read about it and it's possible sequel--get over it.

I agree
Right now we don't even know if a 3rd movie will occur, much less who will be the villian. Let's not start counting our chickens before they're hatched.

And if the Riddle was in the next movie, he'd have to be more than just a bank robber who leaves riddles around. I say, since the hunt for Batman reaches a new level of intensity at the end of TDK, that in the next film the Mayor puts out a large cash reward for identity of The

I say, since the hunt for Batman reaches a new level of intensity at the end of TDK, that in the next film the Mayor puts out a large cash reward for identity of The Batman and this brings the mysterious Riddler to town, a man known to be able to solve any puzzle, although he doesn't always get his information in legal ways.
I think Ben Foster would be a good choice too.
