Who should be the Joker to Ben Affleck's Batman? How about Jason Lee?

It's no secret that I daydream a lot about Batman movies, and that I like to think about which actors I would cast as different characters. It's a hobby of mine. Just take a look back at the stuff I was posting in July 2012. Not that I think I'd ever get the chance to direct a Batman movie, but I often think about what I'd do if I were to make one.

If I was hired to direct a new Batman movie, I already know who one of the first actors is that I'd want to call for a meeting. I have no idea if he'd be interested, but that actor is Jason Lee.

For years now I've thought Lee would be a fantastic Joker. I think he's got the right look to pull it off, obviously with make-up and costume help. Judging by several of his past performances, I think he's got what it takes to capture the personality of the Clown Prince of Crime as well. I also think that he would be capable of portraying the character in a fresh way that wouldn't be like Heath Ledger's or Jack Nicholson's takes.

I was more than happy to keep that little fantasy casting to myself, but recent casting news has made me want to share it. Now that Ben Affleck has been cast to play Bruce Wayne / Batman in Zack Snyder's sequel to Man Of Steel, opposite Henry Cavill's Superman, I now more than ever want to see Jason Lee portray the Joker. I don't care who's making the movie.

Affleck and Lee obviously have a history of acting together, appearing in several movies directed by Kevin Smith, such as Mallrats and Chasing Amy. They've played friends, and they have played enemies, and they have obvious chemistry. So when Affleck has a solo Batman movie at some point after the Man Of Steel sequel, I'd love to see him square off against Jason Lee's Joker. I think it's about time the actors had an onscreen reunion, and that this is the perfect opportunity for it. But what do you think?
