Future Batman Villains

The Batman frenzy continues on Lankuriosidad, you could say I was really impressed with the film, and I've became some sort of a geek for Batman, now I did a little research, and bring you our newest post in which I include the idea that if there was a new batman film, and if they introduced a new character who will it be, and who are the favorite actors to play him or her in the film, I'd also suggest who I think fits the profile better.

The Riddler:


An eliptical madman that makes you solve head scratchers in difficult situations, kind of like the SeeSaw guy from the Saw films.
This is a really adored villain by the fans, and the three strong candidates include Johnny Depp, who a lot of fans wanted to see playing The Joker, but I think he fits the Riddler better... Casey Affleck, Ben's little brother who is kind of a big thing right now, but the definite winner would be british born James McAvoy, who is totally hot from the Wanted an Atonement movies, and also is quite like Bale, so it would be interesting to see them together fighting each other.

Catwoman:


A lonely woman who after an accident becomes infatuated by cats, some say like cats, she has nine lives. An expert with a whip.
Another favorite by the fans to come to the big screen, plus some say that Morgan Freeman's character line in the Dark Knight 'its good against cats' its enough tip to tell us that the next villain is going to be Catwoman, for the role the strongest ones will be Eliza Dushku, Gemma Arterton who has already been a bond girl and kind of fits the profile, but by far the definite winner by fans and critics has been Angelina Jolie...

The Penguin:

An aristocrat reject turned crime-lord, with a penchant for murderous or otherwise dangerous umbrellas.
This
just seems like the obvious choice of a villain for the next Batman film, mainly because of his darkish personality which strongly resembles Christopher Nolans idea of ways the villains should act. John C. Reilly has been mentioned as a candidate, but I think its too much of a stretch, Timothy Spall fits the profile and it would be nice to see someone not so famnous play one of the main characters... another name who has been mentioned is Tobin Bell (SeeSaw from the Saw films) but here again the clear cut winner just because he seems to have the personality and all working for him would be Phillip Seymour Hoffman a great actor who would really give the Penguin character an interesting edge.

Poison Ivy:

Not a favorite by many Poison Ivy is an interesing character, Pamela Isley, is one of the worlds most dangerous eco-terrorists, she uses bloodstream from plants to kill enemies.
Not many actresses have been mentioned for the role, although Uma Thurman is clearly not a favorite, Sarah Polley and Bryce Dallas Howard have been mentioned, as I do not know Polley and I have seen Howard in spiderman, she will also star in the next terminator film so she fits the role perfectly I think.

The Joker:

Finally, the ones fans dont really want to see on screen again, but die-hard fans understand that The Joker is one of Batman's most important archenemies, and although Ledger has passed away, the villain has a lot of unfinished business, and even though he made a magnificent job in the role, some of these actors could also be a favorite. Javier Bardem is hot right now because of his performance in No Country for Old Men, but I wouldn't think Nolan would cast him, Guy Pearce, who is australian born and was a good friend of Ledger is a favorite for the role, however many are saying that after Daniel Day Lewis's performance on There Will Be Blood, and his ability as an actor, he is the clear cut favorite to bring him back... we'll just have to wait and see if Nolan wants to bring him back...

Joker vs Joker



I think sometimes we get caught up in the moment by saying heath ledger did a marvelous job.... ok yes he did, I admit he was great, but now after seeing this clip I can remember how good Nicholson was as well... I really want to see the other movie now to compare... you be the judges....

The Dark Knight


Couldn't wait until today to go to the movies to see Batman, so I went yesterday at midnight with my girlfriend and I can say the movie was everything I expected...

As Siskel and Ebert, now Ebert and Roper say, and with Borat's help I can honestly say the movie is two thumbs way up!!!! Christopher nolan delivers another great Batman film, with that incredibly dark, grim tone which characterized the first one, excellent music, amazing scenes, effects, characters, etc...

Every actor does an amazing job at their role, Christian Bale, as usual, delivers a great performance as a confused Batman who isn't sure if his role as the dark protector of Gotham City... Michael Caine, as well does a great Alfred again, covering the father like figure of Bruce Wayne and Batman... Politician/Villian Harvey Dent is played by Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman does a superb job with commisioner Gordon, as well as Morgan Freeman with Lucius Fox, the only weird thing about the movie, which many considered to be an upgrade was the trade the producers did with Katie Holmes, replacing her with Maggie Gyllenhaal...

Now, to the really AMAZING performance... Heath Ledger, who passed away earlier this year due to confusion with some medicines he was taking, does an Incredible job playing Batman's worst nemesis, The Joker, even though people said it would be a really tough job to do considering Jack Nicholson almost immortalized the villian back in 89... Ledger delivers a more punk like, aggressive and insane Joker, with a real funny wit and a really weird voice which really fits the character, and I can honestly say he does a way better job than Nicholson... obviously we should consider that the tone of this movie is way darker, than the one back in 1989... I wouldn't be surprised if the academy gives him the oscar for best actor, at least he will be nominated for sure...

I urge you to go and see this movie as soon as you can, its an instant classic, greatly entertaining for the whole family.

Lankuriosidad's Rating: 9.8
