The Argument For Burn Gorman as The Joker

I lay out my argument for why Burn Gorman (The Dark Knight Rises, Pacific Rim) would make for the perfect Joker in the new Batman films.

I think if many of you are like me and take in as much nerd stuff as possible, you'd notice Burn Gorman. He's been in The Dark Knight Rises, Pacific Rim, and even Game of Thrones. He's becoming a major player on the film and television front. While he's already played a character in the Nolan Batman series, I also feel like he's quite capable of also playing none ofther then The Joker.

Let's look not at his whole filmography, but that of Game of Thrones, where he plays the sadistic Karl Tanner (any relation to Danny Tanner?).

I think he'd be great as The Joker. What do you guys think?

Well he was certainly good as despicable sociopath but not too sure about the joke. Michael Pitt though after being in Hannibal would be decent, even if he is doing something of a Ledger impression.

Only pointing out the humor in this similarity :P

Though I'm sure they will find a good Joker. After Ledger none of us are going to question Joker casting ever again.

@MAK I was thinking the same thing about the guy from Hannibal you posted. He would be perfect. Did you hear his laugh? I can't believe no one considered him.
