The Riddled Craft

Okay. I'm still in Dark Knight fever mode. Haha. Especially when I heard this rumour going about. Johnny Depp is being tipped to play the Riddler in the next Batman film. How awesome would that be?

Last time they had the Riddler, it was played by Jim Carey, and he wasn't bad. But the film he was in was so bad. Arnold Schwarzeneger as Mr Freeze? George Clooney as Batman? Those were major casting errors. At least Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy was hot.

Heath Ledger, for an Oscar. I haven't been the only one saying it and thinking it aloud.

I watched the original Batman with Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as The Joker. And yes, Ledger's Joker is much better, much more scarier, and much more faithful to the comic book. Though Nicholson's version wasn't bad - in fact, it was rather good - it pales in comparison with Ledger's. I guess it's unfair to compare any villain with Ledger's Joker. Ledger's Joker is simply one of the best supervillains of all time.

Spider-Man used to be the best superhero film franchise around, with its deep storyline and a well-thought focus on Peter Parker's life as both a normal human being and as Spidey. It wasn't mindless. It wasn't just special effects galore. It had a real story in it. They're making a film on 'Venom,' that should be mighty interesting.

Now it's Batman's turn.

There has been a few bad superhero films over the years. Superman Returns was unbelievably boring. Catwoman, oh my fucking jeez. That one is unforgivable. Halle Berry won a Razzie Award for that film - for Worst Actress. I mean, to actually win an award for being so bad.

Fantastic Four is mindless. I didn't bother to watch the second one. The Silver Surfer looks like a cheap copy of the liquid metal Terminator from Judgment Day.

I need to get ready for work.
