From Moviesonline, "Rumor has it that funny man Robin Williams is hoping to be cast as The Joker in the sequel to "Batman Begins". I think that the thought of Williams as the joker scares me but not in a good way. I respect him as an actor and credit him for several dozens of movies that his roles helped me enjoy. But I think that to keep with the great re-envisioning that "Begins" gave us they need to continue to cast more intense dramatic actors for villains such as Cillian Murphy and Liam Neeson. Williams has proven to be very capable of suspense in recent films, but I do not want to see this Batman series degrade into the star-studded circus that was "Batman and Robin".
Currently you can catch Williams in the upcoming "R.V" about a father who tries to reconnect his family by dragging them along for a camping trip in the Rockies. I was not expecting a slap-stick comedy from Williams so quickly after his recent delve into more serious roles. I hope it works out for him."

I haven't seen any trailers for RV but that poster is all over the place. I didn't like Vacation that much the first time around.
The guy they get for the Joker should look like the Batman: Dead End Joker. I think Williams is probably capable of surprising us with a scary, nuanced performance...but I still say "pass" because for some damn reason or another it wouldn't turn out that way.
I think Williams would've been great for the role, 10 YEARS AGO. Let's face it, he's a bit too old and pudgy to be playing the Joker.
Shut up about Nicholson.
Yeah, those RV trailers look awful. It's EXACTLY vacation all over again. The commercials ruin all the lame gags anyway. Want to bet that there will be some sort of rival RV driver and the film will climax in some stupid contest?
I don't know, does the loser have to watch the movie?
