    Why hasn’t Nick Cage been cast as The Joker? He’s pretty much perfect for the role. Or Jim Carey? Carey likes to do serious stuff now. I know he was the Riddler, but he would be better as The Joker.

      Because Nick is still holding out for Superman. Also, I don’t think he has that certain kind of hyperactivity needed, at least not anymore. His kind of broken mind acting is more Lovecraftian protagonist (who, granted, also might end up in Arkham Asylum).

        The Death of “Superman Lives”: What Happened? makes me feel that we had him already as Superman. The documentary is maybe even better, than if we would have really got the movie.

        I also think it would be a little too late now. He was in the perfect age range back then.

        But i’m sure we haven’t seen Nicolas’ final form yet.

      The problem is there’s a lot of Jim Carey in his Riddler, and I’m trying to think how else he would play the Joker that wouldn’t just be his Riddler persona with different catch phrases.
