"Batman Begins" producer Charles Roven told Sci-Fi Wire this past weekend that the returning cast is signed on for a sequel, the script is in the works, new cast members are being discussed and the only delay is an OK by director Christopher Nolan. "We all hope there is going to be another one, we're waiting for Chris Nolan to declare himself. We will do it after he does that" says Roven. The producer stated that it would be possible to proceed with another Batman movie without Nolan, but added that he would prefer Nolan to do another one. He also confirms that at present Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Katie Holmes and Gary Oldman have signed on, but added that it's WAY too early to talk about new cast members for the as-yet-untitled next Bat film.
A new report says Jim Carrey is interested in returning to the Batman franchise, but instead of reprising his role as The Riddler from Batman Forever, he wants to play the Joker. Nothing official yet.
As reported on comicbookmovie.com: Mark Hamill may be the Joker in the second Batman movie. Hamill, best known as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars movies but also a veteran voice actor as the Clown Prince of Crime in the 1990s Batman animated series, is reportedly on a short list of "known" actors Warner Bros. is considering. No unknowns are being considered, a studio insider tells Dark Horizons. While there's been no official casting yet, only a few meetings, a name could emerge now that Batman Begins is out, the source says. "Christian Bale was/is enough of a gamble ('Reign of Fire' and 'Equilibrium' made about a buck combined!), so, like this one, Warner are surrounding him with 'famous' faces. They've got their wish-list, and that's it. This guy, Lachy Hulme, it sounds like his people are pushing him more than Warner wants him - an unlikely chance, same with Crispin Glover, whose agent (not surprised) is pushing him ON Warner," the source says. "I've tried to get through to the powers-that-be that there's a couple of great actors on my agency's books that they should consider, but have been told by an exec there that it isn't worth pushing, because they have their wish-list, and it's got 'NAME ONLY' imprinted on it. "Honestly though, there's nothing, no-one really being considered at the moment....Mark Hamill's name has been casually mentioned due to his huge popularity in the cartoons as The Joker. Robin Williams, Sandler....your usual suspects," the source says.
Batman-on-Film is reporting that Aussie actress Isla Fisher may be the new 'love interest' in the "Batman Begins" sequel. Cinescape is reporting that pop star Justin Timberlake is being considered for the role of Two-Face. And names ranging from Sean Penn to Paul Bettany are being mentioned for The Joker.
