In an interview with MTV News conducted just hours ago at the Toronto Film Festival, Michael Caine -- there to promote "Is There Anybody There?" -- seemed to confirm rumors that the next installment of the "Batman" film franchise will feature two very well-known names playing the roles of The Riddler and the Bumbershoot Bandit, The Penguin. "They've already got them in mind," said Caine, when asked who he'd like to see take up arms against the Caped Crusader. "It's Johnny Depp as The Riddler. And The Penguin is Philip Seymour Hoffman. I read it in the paper."
So Caine is like the rest of us, reading gossip in the tabloids, right? Except for one thing...according to the actor, he confirmed the news through the studio itself.
"When Christopher [Nolan] said we were going to do 'The Dark Knight' next, I didn't what that meant in Batman terms," related Caine, who plays Bruce Wayne's loyal butler, Alfred Pennyworth. "I said, 'What's the story?' and he said The Joker. I said, 'Oh, s--t! How are you going to top Jack [Nicholson]?' He said, 'Well, I've cast Heath Ledger. And I went 'Ha! I couldn't top Jack, but if anyone could, maybe Heath could.' And he did.
"I was with [a Warner Bros.] executive and I said, 'Are we going to make another one?' They said yeah. I said, 'How the hell are we going to top Heath? And he says 'I'll tell you how you top Heath -- Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.' I said, 'S--t, they've done it again!'" [Laughs]
While rumors of Depp and Hoffman have been hot topics around the upcoming film for quite some time, this is the first instance of one of the film's stars speaking about the news, as well as Caine citing an albeit unnamed WB executive.
Meanwhile, when asked if he's spoken to Nolan about the news or the next installment's script, Caine made mention of Nolan's vacation, and hinted that, "No. He's gone. He'll come back with a script sometime."[/quote]
Basically, there is not a damned thing for the next Batman movie, noone has been casted, no villain has been chosen and there is [b]NO SCRIPT[/b] coming from Michael Caine himself.

wait i thought they were doing the riddler next or something
[b]Edit:[/b]
Oh hurr, just read the article. Riddler was an idea, I hope they choose him next.
jim carrey get.
I don't think anyone has a fuckin clue how to clean up after Heath dying. The story was obviously supposed to conclude with a third act, but they can't bloody well replace him.

Yeah, I heard Eddy Murphy was going to star the riddler

Mr. Freeze/The Riddler/The Penguin are the only characters that are realistic enough for Nolan's series, if they can pull off Freeze without Schwarzenegger, it'd be a slice of fried gold.
Nobody can beat Heath's Joker.
I love Johnny Depp as much as the next faggot but he's really starting to be ridiculously overcast
Except Nolan said he would never ever do the penguin.
[QUOTE=BldrGyMnGy;17578967]jim carrey get.[/QUOTE]
I heard Jim Carrey doesn't play the same character twice (although Ace Ventura was an exception)
Plus the Penguin and Riddler are both faggots who don't do anything big.
I'm not gonna see this just because of Johnny Depp. The Riddler was NOTHING like Johnny Dickless Depp. Piss poor choice, man, piss poor. I loved Batman Begins, and loved Dark Knight even more, but I won't see this one because they've fucked over my favorite character by casting that idiot.

Riddler's a faggot, man. A whiny little bitch who has an inferiority complex but thinks he's better than everyone.
So yeah, nothing like Johnny Depp, who's a good actor.
They should do scarecrow.
[QUOTE=Sottalytober;17579311]They should do scarecrow.[/QUOTE]
They did. In both films, though they arrested him finally in the last one.

Unfortunately they already ruined scarecrow in Batman Begins by making him a wimpy little bitch. :sigh:

I don't think Harley meet's the Joker until later in the series. I think this was early on, hence no Robin or Oracle.

Wasn't he already?
[QUOTE=Sottalytober;17579331]I don't think Harley meet's the Joker until later in the series. I think this was early on, hence no Robin or Oracle.[/QUOTE]Harleen became Harley because of Joker, he drove her crazy (both ways).
It's all in Mad Love.

Oh wait, I think I may have read your post wrong, well, Joker went to Arkham at the end of Dark Knight right? So they could fit her in there, and the movies don't exactly follow the comics.

...He was always a wimpy little fuck. He just relied on that gas.. which he did...

What I meant was that one of the problems with the current rendition of Batman is that it's meant to be (at least it tries to be) realistic in a sense. So all he had was some shitty little mask and I didn't like the character at all because he wasn't even a little creepy.
Fucking Johnny Depp, I hate him so much. If he's in the next Batman movie I'll totally rage.
*edit*
Edward James Olmos for the Riddler.

I know, i've seen Mad Love. I mean that after he goes to Arkham in this, he then meets Harley Quinn, so he hasn't seen her yet.

No, Olmos is too badass.
I demand a dark demented Riddler!
Not some gay Jim Carey riddler.
Danny DeVito for The Penguin.
check out the trailer:

Hugh Jackman for riddler.

In any of his roles.
