New Batman Villains Hit the Wire: Open Thread

By Daniel Dessinger

September 12, 2008

The rumors are circulating about the next Batman movie. Who will be the villain? Which actor/actress will play the role? These are just speculations and rumors at this point. No new Batman villains have been officially announced. Here is the original story from Newsday.com.

Both of these rumored actors are excellent picks. I actually suggested Johnny Depp in my previous Batman post, but did not think he would actually go for it. If you think back on the bizarre roles he chooses, he is a compelling pick… I don’t think it’s the roles themselves, but rather how he plays them and puts his own unique spin to them…Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissor Hands, Willie Wonka – the list goes on. He would make an excellent Riddler.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin? I am not so sure about that. I mean, I do like the guy. I think. He always plays that character that just makes me anxious. I really can’t describe it. I would have preferred more of a Ray Liotta type, but Hoffman could be more interesting.

I am excited at the possibilities. Who will be the next Batman villain?

What do you think?
