Re: The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5
Ok, PLEASE don't frag me for saying this, but I happen to have caught a certain soap opera my grandmother likes to watch a couple times. I don't follow it but there's this one dude on the show who just OOZES brooding/obsessive Bruce Wayne, and I think he'd make a good Batman as well. Picture is spoilered for size, but the actor's name is Michael Muhney:

Re: The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5
I just want them to get a good actor who looks like he might be tougher than he seems. I don't find all the images of model-come-actors doing the 'blue steel' to be particularly instructive.

Re: The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5
Tyler Hoechlin certainly has a good look for Bruce Wayne/Batman. I'm not sure what his acting chops are like today, but he was pretty good (as a child actor) in Road to Perdition; and he's finally old enough to be considered for the role of Bats.

Re: The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5
I would say Michael C. Hall, but he is in his late 40's now. Dam it. And the Game Of Thrones has some nice choices, but they are too young. I would cast Ben McKenzie, but his height would be a problem. Both with filming and backlash complaining.

Re: The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5
Well apparently Batman will be youngish when JL begins.
Richard Madden for example will be the right age by the time things start.

Re: The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5
So far out of this entire thread I havent seen a single suggestion that I thought was just the right guy for the role. Im also gettin really tired of Ryan Gosling's name being brought up.

Re: The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5
It's hard to find a dude that's not a pretty boy. I consider any actor better looking than me a pretty boy so....yeah. And ruggedly handsome is still pretty to someone.

Re: The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5
Dunno. I doubt anyone could call Sean Bean, Clive Owen or Daniel Craig 'pretty', though each has plenty of admirers.

Re: The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5
I really hope that it's not a year one or two Batman. Have it start off in his fifth year as Batman or something. Show flashbacks to explain characters and villains that are already established in Gotham within the new film universe. That way we can get more of a story like the comic books since they won't have to show full origins. You can also put more characters in each film this way (once again like the comics), instead of being limited to two villains and use the already overdone film template.

Re: The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5
Since I'm actually hoping for an on-going series and not a trilogy, here are my hopefuls for all the characters of new Batman universe. I have left the biggest role (which is of course Bruce) out because I honestly don't know who I want in the role yet.
Dick Grayson/Robin/Nightwing... Dave Franco Jim Gordon... Josh Brolin The Joker... David Tennant Penguin... Bob Hoskins Selina Kyle/Catwoman... Mila Kunis Edward Nygma/Riddler... Johnny Depp Roman Sionis/Black Mask... Tim Roth Hugo Strange... Phillip Seymore Hoffman Harley Quinn... Fairuza Balk Renee Montoya... Michelle Rodriguez Harvey Bullock... James Gandolfini Alfred Pennyworth... John Hurt Not sure about other characters yet.

Re: The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5
Jay Ryan would be a name I would suggest. The guy is good actor with alot of charm and can be imposing and pretty much has the Batman voice.
He's 32 so he's old enough to have been Batman for several years , yet he's not another middle aged Batman which we've just seen in TDKR. |

Re: The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5
As I'm watching Dexter, I can't get over how much I want Michael C. Hall in the role. A lot of my ideas are just older. Hall, David Boreanez, Matthew Fox!

Hoskins retired from acting last time I checked. I think it was health issues, but I could be mistaken. Michelle Rodriguez fits Montoya but I don't want her near this lol. Depp as Riddler is cliché and I don't think he fits. NO to Mila Kunis as Selina. I say Jane Levy for Harley Quinn. Michael Madsen for Harvey Bullock. Bryan Cranston for Gordon.

Re: The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5
OK, again because I'm watching Dexter, what about Desmond Harrington? Yes, he was the douche soldier on the bridge in TDKR. But he could be convincing as Batman.

Re: The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5
Lately I've been thinking about Josh Hartnett for the rebooted Batman. I know, I know, crazy...but the idea of a brooding Batman similar to Arkham Asylum/City....I think he could pull it off. And he was once in the running for either Batman or Superman(don't know which one) for that proposed Batman/Superman film years ago.
