  Why Johnny Depp Can't Be the Riddler

  The overwhelming enthusiasm surrounding The Dark Knight this summer has been record breaking for the industry, and memorable for all its fans. Unavoidably there would be intense speculation to if and how they would do a sequel. Nolan has yet to sign on, but it seems inevitable that he and Bale will do a sequel.
  
  But the first mistake everyone makes is instantly jumping to the biggest stars and casting them in possible roles. Angelina Jolie should be Catwoman, and Johnny Depp's eccentric behaviour would be a perfect Riddler. This is the last thing you ever want to do in a series like this, for proof, refer back to the original four and look at what happened when big names were brought in. So far, Nolan has done a good job of casting good but not overly popular actors. Liam Neeson, Cilian Murphy, and Heath Ledger as villians, while Morgan Freeman and Micheal Caine serve as Bruce's allies. Granted, Christian Bale is currently working his way to super stardom (pretty much the biggest actor in Hollywood right now) he was relatively unknown the mainstream before Batman Begins.
  
  So where do you go with a third film. Well, Batman is being hunted, and is now more alone that ever after the end of The Dark Knight. I think you bring him to the moral issue he was set up to confront in the last one. What is necessary to maintain order in Gotham? Can he kill? Should he kill? And what happens when he becomes the monster he is painted as? The Police are going to be one enemy, on their witchhunt for Batman (Introduce Harvey Bullock?) Then could we cast Daniel Day Lewis to bring his own style to the Riddler that terrorizes the divided Gotham PD, and Mickey Rourke as Bane, who seizes control in the absence of power after The Joker eliminates all the mob leaders?
  
  Why Daniel Day Lewis? Not only is he a good actor, but the type to dedicate everything to a role, like Heath Ledger, and his main competition, Depp, would ultimately emulate the same Character Heath Ledger was in TDK.
  
  Personally, as a huge fan of the new Batman series, would like to see this happen. The Dark Knight Returns will pack the theaters once again, but I would also like to see another installment, not after the 3rd, but between the 1st and 2nd. I think there is enormous potential for story during the time that Batman begins his Crusade against money launders and the mob. "The Caped Crusader" could bring back grounded criminals, more like Ras Al Gul. Such as a Black Mask, terrorist/anarchist storyline and/or a Hush as Hitman saga.
  
  Ultimate Picks for Villains (Would Like to see Dent return)
  
  The Riddler- Daniel Day Lewis
  
  Bane- Mickey Rourke
  
  Harley Quinn- Rachel McAdams
  
  Hush- Karl Urban
  
  The Black Mask- Ewan MacGregor
  
  Harvey Bullock-

  6 Best Comic to Film Movies. #2

  300 - 2006
  
  The second of Frank Miller's movies to make the list, and the seond graphic novel. 300 follows the story of King Leonidas I, a Spartan king who, when faced with the overwhelming numbers of Xerxes 1.2 million man army and Sparta's reluctance to commit to a war during their holiday, led 300 men north to a mountain pass at Thermopylae and inflicted twenty to thirty thousand casualties on Xerxes inexperienced soldiers. Remembered as one of teh most heroic last stands in history, Leonidasheld out for three days before being betrayed by a Greek named Ephialties, who led Xerxes to a path that could encircle the Spartans.
  
  While it doesn't have much in terms of dialogue, it features a plethora of one liners that have been exhausted on internet forums. Leonidas can be credited with most of these screamed lines, but a few others, including definite badass and probable psycopath Stelios,(Based on a real Spartan present at the battle) who is excited at a chance to fight in the shade perhaps a little too much.(You are wearing next to nothing man, it can't be that hot) David Wenham, as Dilios the sole surviving Spartan, provides the only lines that resemble actual dialogue as he narrates the tale. If it wasn't for this 300 would certainly be the greatest comic to film, since it boasts the most spectacular battle scenes of any swords and sandal flick ever made. If you saw this at the theatres like I did, you probably wlaked out with the urge to impale something with a six foot spear, throw your shield into its chest and slice it to bits with your sword for good measure; and if you're like me and currently not in prison, you found the will power to restrain yourself, or at least not get caught.

  6 Best Comic to Film Movies. #3

  Sin City - 2005
  
  Technically a graphic novel, but a comic movie all the same. Sin City used a unique visual style to tell the grittiest story brought to cinema by comics ever. Following the stories of three main characters, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, and Clive Owen, Sin City takes you through a night of chaos as the bad guys and the slightly better bad guys who sided with the strippers face off in intense gunbattles and hand to hand fighting.
  
  It should be credited with making Jessica Alba's career, since she went from a hot actress some people knew, to the single most revered woman in the country. So note to other aspiring actresses, be a stripper it pays off in the end. Bruce Willis is the true central character (Even though Rourke and Owen are more entertaining in my opinion, I'm not gonna ruin their stories by even thalking about them) as he hunts down a pedophile from his past, and protects Alba from him at the same time. Over a couple hours of twists and revelations you will see there is more to Sin City than meets the eye, and it is a must for anyone who can stomach a violent movie.
