That would be a great follow-up to Heath Ledger's "Joker"!

I hope he doesn't make a "riddle" out of what he does with the money, since he is so busy "flipping" off the media, getting on planes. All that money and looks as though he can't handle it.
Riddle me this and riddle me that
Johnny at least is not like Seth
and doesn't look fat!

What a joke! The only one who impressed me other than the origanel joker from the t.v. series was Jim Carrey. Bring back what worked before. Pay the man whatever he wants and make millions.

johnny is good at almost anything, but i'm not sure he can do the riddler.... the riddler has to be joker like (not as dark) but has to be like a scrawny brainy guy.

Oh, and more thing, when it comes to Depp, its best to keep him in a pirate's outfit. He made way more money in it than in any other role to date

NonononononononoNO.
I don't know if Johnny'd take it. C-Bale and Depp are already working on "Public Enemies" together. I'd probably have to wait until that comes out in '09 before I can make a judgment as to how good they'd work together.
As for Hoffman as The Penguin, that sounds GREAT. I guess it's b/c I'd love to see The Penguin onscreen again. Burgess Meredith was GREAT on the TV series, and the character needs a redemption after DeVito totally screwed it up. :]

Well If Depp Can do the justice Jim Carey did with the part AND
Philip Seymour Hoffman Can make the penquin sparkle on screen like Danny Devito did..Then I say...ROCK ON!

And..MUSE..Danny was an AWESOME Penquin,I thought.

Now the Question(s) is...Who can play 2/face after Tommy Lee Jones? He was awesome. & Poison Ivy after Uma Thurman? & Mr.Freeze After Arnold?
