Me and another batman fan from the forum were talking, and i came up with the idea for Joe Pesci as the Penguin. Hes short, could resemble him with makeup and a nose like his. Slick black hair put on him. He kind of has a ganster voice, maybe play around with that. |

I had to do this:
[QUOTE]Penguin: WA! WA!
Batman: heh, you are funny as a penguin, Penguin.
Penguin: What do you mean I'm funny?
Batman: It's funny, you know. It's funny, you're a funny guy.
Penguin: what do you mean, you mean the way I talk? What?
Batman: It's just, you know. You're just funny, it's... funny, the way you act.
Penguin: [it becomes quiet] Funny how? What's funny about it?
Gordon: Penguin no, You got it all wrong.
Penguin: Oh, oh, Jimbo. He's a big boy, he knows what he said. What did ya say? Funny how?
Batman: Jus...
Penguin: What?
Batman: Just... ya know... you're funny.
Penguin: You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little "bleep" up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown like Joker, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to "bleep"in' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?
Batman: Just... you know...
Penguin: No, no, I don't know, you said it. How do I know? You said I'm funny. How the "bleep" am I funny, what the "bleep" is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what's funny![/QUOTE]
You don't get it, boy... this isn't a mudhole... it's an operating table.
(crack!)
And I'm the surgeon.

lol, i hope your not making fun of my choice. That was funny though Obviously, Joe wouldn't be like he is in many movies. Change his voice just a tad so his language isn't as accented, or crude with dialogue. Makeup to make him resemble the comic book version. |

:lol: Great job, Nate. Next he'll have to teach the "yutes" to respect his territory. OK? OK!
Back to the original topic; yeah, Pesci could probably pull it off. He's a bit older than I normally think of with Penguin, but that could actually be used as an advantage. TB aside, I don't think Penguin has ever been much of a fighter; he uses his brain more. Play him up as the cool, older crime boss type, and now with Falcone out of the way he can expand his empire. |

Exacally, I've imagened the penguin being in his 50's. He'll end up being some crime boss anyway. In returns, did the penguin really do much fighting? As i recall, Batman punched him only once.
Problem with hoffman is he's a bit young, too big. He's a good actor, but what I've seen him in, I think he may be better to wait and used as another villian. |

Well, I think its a good choice i think. Better than Philip Seymour Hoffman. This is the new Batman, not batman and robin. Were not casting for a gay penguin. (just a joke) |

I missed where you wrote that it was Phillip Seymour Hoffman. When I read Hoffman, I thought Dustin Hoffman. Who now that I think about it would probably do pretty well too. His performance in Hook was great. I think he could do something similar with the Penguin

He was actually consitered for Batman Returns. Need a lot of makeup and a fat suit. It would either be excellent or stupid. I dont doubt his acting, but more of the look. |

wait a minute now people, who saw MI3? Ya know I always thought Philip Seymour Hoffman was a great actor but never gave much thought about him when someone here suggested him for the penguin role and after seeing MI3 I thought to myself he can play a great villain so now I`m thinkin...hmmm maybe penguin would be a great role for him.

Well, in the comics he has exceptional agility and fighting skills, as noted in The Ultimate Guide to the Dark Knight, but I can't recall seeing him exercise that. I, too, think of him more as a Falcone kind of crime boss.

True, but it seems like they always qualify it, like "agile despite his rotundity" or some similar phrase. I aalways took it to mean that he doesn't waddle and sweat like Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons, but he's still nowhere near a physical match or Batman. |
