Dark Knight- Depp could honor ledgers Joker IMO

a while ago i read on wiki that what ledger did was lock himself away in some hotel for two weeks where he read The Killing Joke and Arkham Asylum, kept a diary as the joker, came up with the walk and voice, and was influenced by Alex from Clockwork Orange and Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols in developing the persona. he also forced himself to stay awake for long periods of time to help him feel more ka-razy like the joker would feel.
 
Funny enough before I read all the previews and saw the trailer I assumed The Dark Knight was the take on the book Knightfall where Bane breaks his back. Although I'm glad they went with the Joker, Ledger dwarfed every other actor in that movie and killed his part. I've never been more impressed with a performance, than this role.
 
Gandolfini would be a joke. Hoffman would be interesting, but I think Giamatti could play him darker than Hoffman could. I could see Depp playing The Riddler and Hugo Weaving as Mr. Freeze.

I keep thinking Kate Blanchett for Poison Ivy too.
 
Depp can not and will not take on the role of the Joker. The Joker is over, no one will dare take the role again for at least twenty years.
 
Seriously though, the problem with casting chick villains is that they always look completely dumb during action scenes. Always making stupid faces and over acting their way through the fight scene. The only chick that I can remember seeing in a fight who didn't look like a retard chasing a popsicle was this one:



Not that I'm suggesting her for Catwoman though.
