Despite losing the role of the  Clown Prince of Crime, famed actor Adrien Brody still has hopes of one day donning the green hair and red lips. "I would do it if I feel I can contribute something valuable and that the role would be interesting to me because they're long journeys. To me, the villains are way fun!" Said the Oscar winner. "But they don't offer me those roles. If there is an opportunity to do something like that and play a comic book hero or villain, that’s not something I’m fundamentally opposed to." While there has been no indication that the Joker will appear in Batman vs Superman or Justice League, it is encouraging to hear someone ready to take on the mantle and try to leave their own stamp on the character after a legendary performance from Heath Ledger. Would you guys like to see Mr. Brody portray the Clown Prince of Crime in the near future? Sound off below!

Why not?...c'mon people,Ledger was really well received at first but he nailed The Joker.
Brody physically looks more Joker than Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger.
He's a decent actor..who knows?

I remember news of him auditioning....or at least throwing his name in the hat for TDK.

He has the look and (more importantly) the chops too.....I say why not?

@ManFromMars you have to apply to become a trusted user (I think), and I doubt they'll want me as one.

That guy from Hannibal seems to be a pretty good joker like character.
(I don't watch the show so I don't really know what I'm talking bout)
