Harvey was awesome in The Dark Knight also, its just sad in a Batman movie the only thing I didn't like about it was... Batman. :\
Wish they could have shopped in Kevin Conroy's voice or something. :lol
Its old but every time I think of Bales Batman voice I just think of this fan thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2yv8aT0UFc&feature=fvw
I know it goes against the GAF Batman/Bale circle jerk, but seriously if he just held back a bit it wouldn't be an issue.

Oh bullshit. I love TDK, but they only ever made it about him at the end, tying it in a nice little bow and saying "uh, here, he's living martyr!"
The movie was entirely about the negative forces that he brought out, particularly the Joker. Batman is a ridiculous entity, and so he brings out an equally ridiculous source of evil. It was the Joker's show throughout the entire flick and his affect on the system, proving his own points. The Joker might have gone to Arkham at the end, but he definitely won.
I'm pretty confident, though, that the next movie will be either about Batman's downfall as a hero, or his redemption.

Better than Bale grunting out lines surrounded by regular sounding people in the same dark and moody setting did.

I like Kevin Conroy but his best Batman work was always in the DCAU. It kinda bothered me in the Gotham Knight shorts.
Public Enemy should be good times though

The Batvoice is pretty great in Batman Begins; it goes a bit over the top in TDK, but I think the degree to which it is a detriment is vastly overstated by most.

I wish there was a voice modulator that made the Batgruff. I would carry on all my normal conversations with it if possible.

I said it before and I'll say it again.
Heath Ledger ain't dead. His death was a huge publicity stunt and they are currently filming Batman: Return of the Joker which will be announced in a short time. It will be the greatest announcement the world has ever witnessed.
BELIEVE!

I don't know much about Batman but I would definitely be interested in HQ....
Hasn't Nolan stated that he enjoys the fact that the third film will be a challenge (As most third entries are shit)? I would like to see him take on the challenge of having a solid female antagonist...one that is neither just a regular femme fatale nor a feminist super bitch.

Tall, lanky..same height as Heath's.
Incredibly great actor.

Batman: I'm not supposed to be here today.
As for Josepth Gordon-Levvit..
He is too much of a teenager to be playing roles as mature as the Jokers. Not only that but aside from his facial resemblance, his figure is far different from Heath's.
Black Mask is the only correct choice for the next villain, since most of you are so ready to re-cast ledger.
I though about this since Batman Begins, so just stay with me:
Keep his origin basically the same only his mother died after giving birth(no dropped on head, please) which made his father kinda hate him. His father was also actually friends with Thomas Wayne and didn't hate him in private. Roman's father dies of old age and leaves his company and fortune to none other than Thomas Wayne's son and Romans childhood "friend", Bruce Wayne.
Roman snaps and goes to the family mausoleum and just like in the comics carved a mask out of the coffin lid taking on the persona of the Black Mask.
From there he not only attacks Bruce Wayne and tries to discredit him, but also goes after Batman because he sees him as a threat to his plans. I'd like to see a combination of the whole kidnapping of Wayne executives(complete with an attempt on Lucius Fox) and the War Games arc.

Nvm, beaten. And for Gordon-Levitt he needs to put on some muscle if he wants to play joker. He's way too fucking skinny/lanky.

After watching Watchmen, Dr Rorschach sounded just like Bale's batman.

Needs to be set a long time after TDK (obviously call it The Dark Knight Returns)
Gotham has been without Batman for 10 years. Batman returns after a man/woman calling himself/herself 'The Joker' begins a new campaign of terror on Gotham.
They could, either cast somebody that looks vaguely like Ledger, and pretend it his him 10 years after the events of TDK (probably a bad idea). Or better yet, they simply cast somebody that is going to offer a completely new take on the character and say that this new Joker was inspired by the actions of the old Joker (maybe you could even have multiple 'Joker' characters?)
Maybe chuck a Mob Boss (Penguin), or Bane done correctly, into the mix to increase the threat to Gotham. They could even introduce a new character who plays a Robin like role (younger guy with a similar past to Bruce) that Bruce trains and maybe hands over the Batman mantle to at the end, thus paving the way for a new trilogy of Batman movies, with a new actor as Batman.

Nah lol I was never one of those people to say that.. Both Ledger and Gordon-Levitt were in the movie 10 Things I Hate About You, though. In comparison, Heath's height and form just bullies Gordon Levitt's. (Heath - 6'1, Gordon-Levitt 5'10)Lebron said:
Also, I think Fairuza Balk would make for a fantastic Harley Quinn.
He still comes off as younger, especially in his latest movie 500 Days Of Summer. And again, we've also got the height issue..Cheebs said:
In total agreement that this should go the TDKR route. Show Gotham 20 years in the future, with Bruce no longer fighting crime, and being a crotchety old bastard (should be like riding a bike for Bale amirite) alone in his mansion, with Alfred long dead.
EDIT: Levitt is also more talented than Ledger. So if anyone could fill the role, looks AND performance wise, it would be Levitt. But we should all know by now that the fan-wank consensus picks never happen, so Levitt will never be cast. Sorry for you guys also championing Michael Emerson for the Riddler, too. It will never happen.

Same here. Another Bale Batman vs *INSERT BAD GUY* film won't feel fresh, I can't think of how he can do that and have it top TDK at all. TDKR route works best. a 3-4 year break since filming TDK with a 20 year time shift with some gray put in Bale's hair to make him like 55 can easily work.Solo said:
The major problem though is WB will obviously want to keep this franchise going after Nolan and Bale leave the series behind after part 3. Doing a TDKR time shift for the third film will effectively close out the trilogy for good and they would have to start over from scratch again.

I did not think Heath Ledger was too young or pretty boy-looking after watching I'm Not There and Brokeback Mountain.Cheebs said:
Whatever though, to each their own I guess.
Hey look I found a shop'd Daniel Day-Lewis Joker: (This could possibly do very well if they'd choose to go with TDKR)

Maybe they could have Bruce hand over the Batman mantle to another character at the end of the next movie.
That way WB could make another trilogy of Batman films with another actor in the Batman role.
Obviously WB would love to make more Batman movies with Bale and Nolan, but I doubt that's gonna happen. Can't see Bale doing more than 3, and I don't even think Nolan will be back to do this one.
They're going to need to find a new cast/director pairing for Batman 4, so why not have Bale hand over the mantle to a different character at the end of 3?
