Thing with Carrey is that he's actually v.good at serious roles (Truman Show is possibly my all time favourite film, and Eternal Sunshine was also pretty good) but when he tries to be funny, he's a bit rubbish...
The Dark Knight: crap/not crap?

Yipchaa!
Exactly the point I was trying, and failing, to make (in a post that never made it). After Ledger I don't trust any "Actor X could never be Character Y".
Well, maybe not quite any, but I'm certainly not as certain as I once was.
Hmm, maybe this post shouldn't have made it either

Exactly (and Truman is one of my all time faves too, I love Eternal Sunshine also).
Apparently some WB people are considering getting Depp to play the Riddler and Phillip Seymour Hoffman to play the Penguin.
Hmm.
Hmm.
I can't see how the Riddler would work. One way would have been a psycopathic fuck who set up devious problems for the people of Gotham to resolve, but the Joker spent all last film doing that.
The Penguin would work if he was just a well-dressed gangster, especially if the actual Penguin nickname was hardly used, like for Two-Face.

Yup i reckon he could pull it off, as much as i love depp i really would prefer it if he stayed well out of the next one, he really could fuck it up if you know what i mean.
As per tarranau, I don't fancy Depp for that at all. I mean, I rate him and all that, but Nolan's films have succeeded so far by getting up-and-comings/fresh faces in the 'big' roles (while having lots of big names in support).
I don't know much about Hoffman, that said. Seems more like a nolan actor...

Up and comers like Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Christian Bale?
I meant in the main roles (which alfred and fox aren't).
And Bale, when Begins came out, while he was quite well known, was definitely not a Pitt/Depp/Clooney type 'big name'.
I do like Depp but I reckon Nolan wouldn't choose him anyway.
If I were a betting man, it will be pearce as per my previous suggestion

Yeah, I just want to see a trilogy actually have a good third part (Viz: Back to the Future 3, Return of the Jedi, Godfather 3, X Men 3). Why do so many trilogies have a quality 2nd one, and then a shite 3rd film?
No doubt now WB will get fucking Brett Ratner to do the 3rd film and it will be toss
