As if we don’t have enough evidence that the Batman franchise is once again in safe and strong hands, Christian Bale has been talking about his thoughts on the idea of Joker, from Comic Book Movie:
“I want to see the Joker, because I think it will be a very different kind of Joker than people have seen before,” he said. “I think even the card that you see at the end of the movie shows that it is a darker, more sinister-looking Joker than anything I have seen depicted before. I think it would be a good adversary.”
It’s always good to hear that they are reading and care about the source material, it’s even better to hear the stars involved talk about the vision of the movie as it should be – darker and more sinister. Perfect.
“Thank God, there was no Robin,” Bale says. “You really don’t need him because Robin makes it campy and not dark.
Another winner in my book. Quite frankly I think the current team involved in the Batman movies have it nailed down to a tee. If only all comic, and videogame for that matter, adaptations could follow the Batman and X-Men models, I think the movie world would be a better place. Discuss.
