Two Actors Reading For The Joker in the New Batman Flick! This comes from BatmanOnFilm:
Two of BOF's best - and completely unrelated - sources have confirmed for us that Australian actor Lachy Hulme (pronounced "Lock-ee Hewm") and British thesp Paul Bettany are the only actors that BATMAN producers are considering for the role of The Joker - at the momment. One of these two sources also told us that screen tests will indeed take place this fall, although it was unclear if one or both of these actors are testing...
In addition, one of these same sources told BOF that we were "dead on" regarding our report that Mr. Nolan will indeed return to The Cave once he completes his next project - which is said to be THE EXEC for Warner Bros. Lachy Hulme: 
Paul Bettany: 
Thoughts?

Are they sticking to the Killing Joke origin jedi? | |

For some reason (probably his smile reminding me of Jack Nicholson's) I've always thought Heath Ledger would be a good Joker, but I do like Paul Pettany  | |

From what I've heard, yes. Goyer just has script outlines for the second and third films at this point, so nothing is set in stone, but the outline for the second is said to follow The Killing Joke as far as Joker's origin is concerned.

Ledger would be an interesting choice. Crispin Glover and Ed Norton are both actors I can also see pulling it off. I think Nolan wants to do what he did with Batman, and take a great actor that hasn't really made it big yet. Someone known, but not a superstar.

Versatile actor, can play deranged very effectively. Not Crispin Glover though. He actually is crazy! All good things they say never last... | |

In fact, there is a good chance he would actually kill cast members with laughing gas!

Prince - Partyman video shoot (1989) © 1989 Warner Brothers Nicholson is on eof my favorite actors but I agree with you and I ´ve said it many times before...Prince should have played the Joker in Burton´s Batman.Then again, I think it was the fact that both Burton and Nicholson are Prince fans which made them even consider letting Prince do the soundtrack, so if it wasn´t for Jack, there probably wouldn´t be a Batman album in the first place. Still, this time they should let Prince play the Joker. It would also be a good idea for a comeback on the silver screen.. But this has been discussed to death, so I will stop here. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |
