Caine Confirms Batman's Joker?

[Cannikin]

Michael Caine, who reprises the role of Alfred in Christopher Nolan's upcoming Batman sequel film, told Turner Classic Movies that the follow-up to 2005's hit superhero film will feature the classic nemesis the Joker. Caine's remarks, reported on iFMagazine, would appear to confirm rumors about the sequel's villain, which was hinted in the finale of Batman Begins.

"There are three pictures I want to do, small parts. One is with Alfonso Cuaron, who directed Y Tu Mama Tambien," Caine reportedly said. "I wanted to work with him, and then Christopher Nolan, who directed Batman, is doing a smaller film called The Prestige, about magicians, and it's very interesting. And we're going to make the Joker next year."

From another article about the next movie. This isn't Caine saying this, just another source.

"Then adding of Katie Holems, 'She won't be in the sequel... the next romantic interest will be a much stronger actress. Warner is happy that people are now focusing on who'll be playing the JOKER rather than Katie and Tom.'"

That's pretty harsh, pretty much calling her a weak actress.

Who will play the Joker though? They're right. That's the quesiton...

Crispin Glover?


Steve Buscemi?


Adrian Brody?


Mark Hamill?

7. Mark Hamill would be an interesting choice.

He can certainly do the voice.
