...eh? eh?

and, to that point, do you think future batfilms will reference the joker, perhaps using superman returns-like brando effects? or a new actor? or just a brief mention from arkham?


PJ was right...they can get some other actor to reprise the role but, I don't think that they will. Since this is the last role before he died and since he's been universally applauded for his performance, I think that they'll let the role die with him. They may reference him or even show him as Rob suggests but I don' think you'll see the character as an integral part of the movie again.

On a side note, I thought that there was a hint that Catwoman may be in the next one...when bruce is speaking to Lucious about the new batsuit and asks will it stop a dog. Lucious mentions that it will stop a cat...to me that seemed an odd line unless it was foreshadowing.

Given this franchises penchant for realistic vilians, who do you guys see as the next foe? Riddler would be OK. I'd like tyo see Mr. Zzazs(sp). It would also be cool if Talia showed up to continue the Ra's Al Ghul storyline...maybe she could even be a Catwoman tyoe of character until they confront each other.

Oderint, dum metuant.


You are a god damned idiot, you know that? You ought to be smacked upside your dumb-fuck head, even after all these years. Shame on you!
