the next batman movie is going to SUCK. johnny depp as the riddler (how predictable) and theyre going to put ROBIN in it. why ruin a good thing with fucking ROBIN: the GAYEST sidekick on in comic book history?

(grl dont apologize for your nerddom...i have a bat signal sticker on the back of my car...) well i wasnt expecting them to perpetuate the roll of the joker or anything (i thought they shoul have left it as well)but the riddler has always been the "walmart brand" joker to me. and while i do believe that johnny depp is a phenomenal actor, i am WAY sick of seing him in the same old "dark, mysterious, cooky, culty" roles. tim burton has just totally overused the guy. but i'll be the first to say "oh shit, nevermind" when he fails to completely blow ass like he did in sweeney todd.
though there is talk (nyurrrr) of two-face magically re-appearing...since, you know, he wasn't EVEN supposed to die that early in the fist place.

It feels like their original plan was to kill off two-face and leave the joker behind to reuse, but when ledger died it was sort of a mad scramble to make two-face not... completely dead. Since you don't ACTUALLY see is dead and decaying corpse. I dunno, I'd rather they bring him back than the Riddler. Or you know, bring him back on top of the Riddler.
But Joker and Riddler are subtly different. If they tagged by their own identity disorders then Joker would be a sociopath while Riddler would be obsessive compulsive. I dunno, they never took Riddler's character very far in that direction in the films or the wb cartoon, I think, so maybe there's room for him. But yeah overall Two-Face's story > Riddler, imo.

good observation, watson. i dunno, i guess we'll see...depp gets into his roles and he knows what he has to live up to and im willing to bet that two-face returns.
They should make Robin a young girl, Frank Miller-style. Also, I don't think casting Depp as the Riddler is that predictable. He's a big name and all that, but he's not someone who'd strike me as playing a Batman villain. Just out of curiosity, where'd you hear about all this? The only thing I've heard of a third Nolan-Batman film is from wikipedia (shudder) and there's nothing about Robin being in there.

My mother once said that she thinks Johnny Depp looks like he has aids.
