I don't mean that as a slam - I adore Jason Lee. I adore Ryan Renyolds, but no, I don't want to see him as the Joker. I adore Michael Keaton, but I definitely don't want to see him as the Joker. The idea of Keaton is a twisted novelty, which would only cheapen the next Batman flick. I still think this whole story is something thought up at 3am and many drinks in.

In last weeks episode, when he played Dick Cheney it was obvious he should be the Joker.

Never mind, we can restart the conversation! Yeah but Reynolds just doesn't fit with my idea of the Joker, or any view of the joker for that matter. I would love Keaton for the role though, that face, that psychotic character...superb. Oops…I see it now. Never mind, we can restart the conversation!

Yeah but Reynolds just doesn’t fit with my idea of the Joker, or any view of the joker for that matter. I would love Keaton for the role though, that face, that psychotic character…superb.

The joker that he seems to be going for is the Killing Joke version of the Joker, and not the comedic joker that was portrayed by Jack Nicholson. Keaton would be wise to accept the batman role and pass on the other movie. As for Ryan Reynolds, go watch the remake of the Amytiville horror, and with a white face on him and some green hair, trust me - he could play a twisted, psychotic killer any day of the week.
