Lyriqz ✪ Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 The cast in itself is incredibly cool. I like all of them except Margot Robbie, but she suits the role very well, visually. But I don't know how I feel about a.) seeing Hardy as not Bane in a comic movie or Leto as The Joker. Ledger definitely made me critical of new casts for that role but I'll give it a chance. Hope he finds "his" way of playing him. And I'm unreasobably excited to see what Cara looks like with dark hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I feel like this will bomb, the cast is really good but the whole suicide squad thing just seems kinda meh, Where the *Censored* is deathstroke? the dude is pretty popular at the moment.

Creepia Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Should've cast the guy who played T-Bag in Prison Break as The Joker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips. Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Why don't people like Margot Robbie? Wanna see her in more films tbh. Think the movie is going to be good, I'm a fan of the director. Will be interesting to see how a film which isn't 18/R-rated turns out for him.

Creepia Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Should've cast the guy who played T-Bag in Prison Break as The Joker.I'd actually want to see that I think he suits it over anyone else. I'd atleast like to here him voice him in a game or cartoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlterNation Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Should've cast the guy who played T-Bag in Prison Break as The Joker. I'd love to see Knepper as a more aged Joker, but I think Leto will do the character justice. Obviously he won't hold up to Ledger but I want to give him a chance.

Will be hilarious if he does a better job than Ledger. I know Heath is revered as The Joker and it will certainly hard to replace him, because he did such a fantastic job, but it's not out of the realm of possibility that in future Batman/DC adaptations someone will come along and knock Ledger's out of the park.

Mustacio Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Knepper literally translates to "f*cker" in Danish. Always laughed at his name.But yeah, Knepper would be great, I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's so much that he played the role the best, rather than that his style/version of the Joker is the one people like the most. Which actually makes it even harder to surpass him because you can't do it like him without seeming like a rip off, even if you act better than Ledger.

Guest Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I would have casted Troy Baker tbh, he does a really well Mark Hamill ish Joker voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Nakamura Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Yeah, he's already set the benchmark now. It'd be, say, easier to replace Christian Bale as the Batman because even though he acted very well in his three films that he was assigned to: he didn't act amazing. However, Heath Ledger absolutely killed it with his part and I legit think that had it not been for him, the movie could have lost a lot more substance than we think it would. No pressure on Leto, he could still do well. But no matter how well he does, how well will we be accustomed to his performance in comparison to Heath's?

Guest Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Ledger joker was great for its movie but that's it I doubt that Joker persona could fit anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good choice, but is he a good physical actor as well as being Voice actor? He's a great actor but it's odd not seeing him in the lead role. Never know, could have a Robert Downey Jr. situation where Smith outshines the others, gains a pop culture following and become the forefront for any future DC movies that he appears in. Essentially he'll turn Deadshot into a lead role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
