I guess I just disagree. I can understand a fan wanting a new version of a character to be inspired by old ones. And I can definitely understand an actor digging deep into a character like The Joker. I just think THIS character has such a broad range of difference between well known interpretations, that what is consistent about the character really is as simple as how Ritchson described.

He could pick and choose elements to uphold from different versions, if he wanted to. But, no matter what, some fans are going to say, "Why doesn't he crack jokes?" or "Why doesn't he have a New York accent?" It's impossible to "nail it," when fans all see Raph in different ways, and we would never agree what should be adopted from what interpretations.
