Dark Knight casting spoilers

[veronica_rich]

I think Orlando Bloom should replace Ledger (as someone will HAVE to) as Joker for the next Batman movie. It'd be a great way for him to prove himself on a large scale; he really IS that good an actor, when given the chance to stretch - I believe - and he's the same basic physical type. (For anyone who doesn't believe me about the ability thing - go rent "Ned Kelly." Ledger is good, but honestly, Bloom upstages him.)

Plus, I can imagine he and Bale would have great chemistry.

Yep, I think it.


BTW, totally as an aside: I totally expect to see Gordon icons at some point with "Why So Sirius?" on them.

I'm guessing you're referring to another comment in this entry, and not to me directly *G*. And this is why I suggest my own idea for a replacement - the character didn't die, he WILL have to be replaced if Nolan wants to bring him back. Would I offer up my beloved Orlando if I thought it would kill him? :-D

But actually, it IS a good performance - anytime I can forget who is in the role and that it's just the character, at least, I think one is. I know the casting decision and the dailies were being discussed before Ledger died, so there's a good chance he would still be getting these good reviews even if he were here to read them - though I'm sure that does figure into some level of it.
