Robin Williams will appear as Dr Hugo Strange in The Dark Knight Rises, insiders have suggested.
The 59-year-old comedian, who came close to securing both the role of The Joker in Tim Burton's 1990 re-imagining and The Riddler in 1995's Batman Forever, is believed to be the subject of a tantalising tweet from Batman On Film which teases: "RW as Strange? Hmm..."
Batman News has noted that the poster correctly identified the presence of Bane in Christopher Nolan's superhero sequel prior to the confirmation of Tom Hardy's casting in the role. The website adds that another reliable source has frequently claimed that Strange will make an appearance.
In a world where monsters attack at night, we see yet another world, post-apocalypse, where a handful of people struggle to survive.
Crime Scene Berlin-Nightlife Killer Review: This documentary series really drops the ball with its storytelling.
In a movie that largely sidesteps what the war is about, “Civil War” puts us in the point of view of journalists who make it clear there are no heroes in war, just dead bodies.
Well, I will say the inclusion of Dr Strange (if true) definitely makes sense. He has ties to Scarecrow, who has already appeared. He's the one who even made the fear dust stuff if I'm not mistaken (Hugo did that is). He also created a serum to turn men into mutated hulk type guys, much like the Venom that Bane takes. Whether Venom is the same as Hugo's serum or an alteration of it or what, I'm not sure.
I could go with Robin Williams playing that character, though. Clearly he has a passion for the Batman franchise, so you know he'd put in the proper work. He looks the part well enough, also. And if you've seen One Hour Photo or Insomnia, then you know he can tap into a dark side. Even in Death to Smoochy he shows off he can go to that psycho dark side as well.
Lol, he definitely could fit the role. The movie that comes to mind was that movie about that green blob that was living. I can't rememeber the name, though.
I love Robin Williams, but here we go. Batman Returns all over again.
Will Jim Carrey be playing the Riddler? Or shall we get another name brand for that? Jesse Eisenbran for Robin?
Makes sense. Nolan has worked with Robin Williams already, and he has a history of working with some of the same people twice. Bale and Michael Cain were in the prestige after begins,Cillian Murphy was in Inception after TDK, so I'd say yes.
Finally, something about this movie which actually sounds GOOD!
Hugo Strange helping gotham police to chase down the wanted fugitive Batman will be a great story, couple that with Harley Quinn's revenge on Batman for locking up the Joker, and Talia Al Gul quest for vengeance for her father's death, would be INSANE! That way we have ties to all 3 films, resulting in a heart pounding conclusion not just to the final film, but of ALL the films combined.
3 People going after the Bat for different reasons. And with Nolan's non-linear narrative technique will be perfect for those stories.
But unfortunately, Quinn and Talia arent innit, instead Selina Kyle as Bats' new love interest, and Bane who will most probable break Batmans back.
O well, lets see.
