In a recent interview with Desde Hollywood, Colombian American actor John Leguizamo was asked whether he would like to follow in the footsteps of Cesar Romero by being a "Latino Joker" in a future Batman movie. "Just because I have to represent my Latin people. It’s crazy. I went to Comic-Con and 50% were Latin, Black and Asian. I said 'Come on! We are so underrepresented and we support the whole industry.'" However, it sounds like the Kick-Ass 2 star is keen on taking a break from superhero and science fiction movie for the time being, although that doesn't mean he wouldn't take the job if offered! " I am not against comic-book movies. I just feel that I have seen enough zombies, vampires and apocalyptic comic-book super heroes in my lifetime. I want to see real people on screen for a while. But hell yeah, I would do Batman. The Joker would be a blast!" What do you guys think? Would Leguizamo be a good choice to play the villain somewhere down the line? Be sure to sound off with your thoughts in the usual place!
