In Reply to: A Hypothetical Question For Filmland Inmates. posted by AudioHead on December 11, 1999 at 11:32:28:
Robin Williams also signed on then signed off for the part of the riddler for batman forever. I think that movie would have been more enjoyable if Williams had played the riddler instead of rubber face.I think Nicholson added an extra amount of dark tension to the original film where, OTOH, Williams would have brought an extra amount of silliness. Considering the overall tone of the film, I'd rather have Jack in the clown suit.
"Nice outfit."---Jack
Tom §.
Williams would have given the Joker a more human quality. Think Good Will Hunting and What Dreams May Come. The role of the joker would have given him a beautiful venue to combine, mix and serve the best of both of his abilities. The only problem is I've never seen him have a dark side.
Your comments are exactly why I think Williams would have been the better choice for the part of the Riddler in Batman Forever. Rubber face's acting was all flash and rather insincere. Riddler's alter ego (Edward Nygma) was a quirky, highly sensitive person on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Williams would have been able to flesh out that aspect of the character better than what rubber face had done. Hell, Williams would have been a better choice than Tommy Lee Jones for Two Face. Can you imagine that? rubber face and Williams playing off each other.....Tom §.
Interesting comments; I tend to agree with Tom, however; remember that
The Joker possesses a sardonic, twisted sense of humor, not a light-hearted one, to compliment his sinister, dark side - something that Jack
conveyed superbly. Perhaps Robin might play a villain one day and we'll
get to see how he does in that type of role. - AH
