Batman Vs. Superman: 10 Actors Who Could Play The Joker

3. Christoph Waltz

Wild card! All right, so the chances of this ever happening are pretty slim, but never say never... would movie-goers be willing to tolerate a Joker with a strangely unplaceable but definitely European accent? Who knows? Still, Christoph Waltz has established himself as one of the finest actors of his generation, having crawled out of the woodwork and stunned everyone with awesome dual performances in Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained. The brilliant thing about Waltz is in how he totally commands your attention. When he's up on screen, it's impossible not to cling to every single word that comes out of his mouth - a trait that would sit well with somebody like the Joker, no doubt. Does Waltz have what it takes to completely immerse himself in a manic role like this? It's true that he's more difficult to imagine than others on this list, but recall the depth of menace he brought to Hans Landa and it feels right.
