Daniel Day Lewis only option for next Joke | Thread profile

IF they decide to attempt to carry on the character of the joker the only actor capable of pulling off the character would be the great Daneil Day Lewis. He can do over the top, tortured, psychotic, and he is built a little lanky so his version (it would be his version and NOT an imitation) would be similar. and astounding

I agree 100%

daniel day lewis would never do this. so its not the only option.

Nope, he'll hopefully be too busy playing Roland Deschain. We need help, the poet reckoned.

He's a fine actor, but a bit too old for the part. And after Ledger's impression, I think it'll be hard for people to "move on" so quickly... I don't think the Joker will be in the next film at all. W.W.G.D. What Would Gibson Do?

if DDL played the joker i'd laugh not that's he's not incredible but because i'd be doing the Plainview voice "I'm a joking man." But i think DDL is too old. awesome, but too old. maybe not though. But yeah, I'm sure Nolan and company will have to confess what their future batman plans are so we'll have some ideas about who we'll have to start figuring out parts for.

Wouldn't do it. If you look at DDL track record he's never done blockbuster movies like this. In fact he was offered a role in Batman Begins and declined. He even declined a role in Aarogon in LOTR. So the odds of him being in the Batman franchise is slim to none. Plus he's too old to play the joker. He's busy right now making a movie where he has to test his singing chops....

I'd love him to do it....there is no role he is not capable of.

I agree he could do anything, imo the greatest actor.

if they decide to continue with the joker character (which i highly doubt) DDL would make an amazing joker, and a convincing one to follow heath's footsteps. doubt it'll happen though. friends don't let friends shiv!
