How The Dark Knight Should Have Been Cast


Yeah, yeah, yeah, The Dark Knight had the biggest opening weekend ever, Christopher Nolan is a genius, and Christian Bale is amazing, blah, blah, blah. We've heard it all. But that doesn't change the fact that everything was horribly, stupidly cast. No, seriously, they should have fired everyone and started from scratch.

#01

Tony Blair as Alfred


(Yeah, he's the sensitive British butler. But it's not like Blair is working these days.)

#02

Mrs. Larry Craig as Rachel Dawes


(The whole "I love Bruce Wayne, but I know you're really Batman" thing would have been much more convincing done by Mrs. Larry Craig - not sure why.)

#03

Hannah Montana as Two-Face


(Cause she lives a double life too, you know?)

#04

Barack Obama as Lucius Fox


(Not because they're both black, but because when Lucius sees the huge cell phone spying machine, he takes a stand against it. Just like Barack Obama - oh wait.)

#05

Jack Nicholson as The Joker


(You think Heath Ledger was scary? Man, just imagine how much scarier Jack would have been! It would have been the highlight of his career - wait, what?)

#06

Tim Curry as Batman


(No, it wouldn't have been very good, but it would have been hilarious!)

#07

John Cusack as Lieutenant James Gordon


(You know, because they're both whiny, easily corrupted, bleeding-heart do-gooders.)

#08

Jackie Chan as Lau


(Are you kidding me? Lau barely puts up a fight when Batman kicks his ass. At least, Jackie would have given us a good fight sequence.)

#09

Carrot Top as Mike Engel


(Pretty much anyone would have been less annoying than Anthony Michael Hall.)

#10

Kermit the Frog as Salvatore "Sal" Maroni


(After all these years slaving away in the industry, we'd just love to see Kermie get his chance to play the boss of a mob family.)
