Recast Batman Begins

Batman/Bruce Wayne-Brad Pitt

my choice since forever he was born for the role. He reminds of him so much in real life in that he has the look down to a tee, but seems to be more private and intelectual. give him troys body and this face and his intensity hed own though now hes getting old but he still looks young.

Alfred-Anthony Hopkins
Was offered the role and denied, Caine was good but I feel came off at times a bit too hard on Wayne; Hopkins I think woulda been a friendlier, mroe likeable version of Alfred.

Ras Al Ghul-Russel Crowe
Do I really need to say anything?

Rachel Dawes-Angelina Jolie
Again, anything? Shes very imaginable in the role and has mad chem with Pitt.

Gordon-kurt russel
again, anything?

lucious fox-fishbourse
i would keep freeman but if iwhad to switch laurence fishbourne the only option

so the cast would looklike this

Bruce Wayne-Brad Pitt
Alfred-Anthony Hopkins
Ras-Russell Crowe
Rachel-Angelina Jolie
Gordon-Kurt Russel
Fox-Morgan Freeman

Oh, hell no, those choices are terrible. And Jolie for Rachel? the whole point of the character was to be a girl-next-door/childhood friend/Bruce's conscience type of character, not a sex goddess.

Thanks. I forgot who originally picked him, but I've liked the idea of him ever since.

He's now my pick for Dr. Arkhum in TDK.

Here goes.. its a little low-key.

Bruce/Batman

Christian Bale-There is STILL NOBODY I would rather give the title role to.

Alfred Pennyworth

Timothy Dalton- I know he was Bond. Thats why he would be perfect, all that
sarcasm training wouldn't be wasted, he a proper Englishman. Not the cheeky-chappy commoner like Caine. He would carry off the Butler-esque performance we were hoping to see like BTAS.

Lt. Gorden

Tom Selleck- This guy was first pick for Indy in Raiders. He has stature, presence and can play a genuine justice-believing character. and a real mustache to boot.

Ra's Al Ghul

Daniel Day-Lewis- Pure Class.

Yes... YES!!!!!! Ingenious. Though Caine was great, I totally agree with you. I hope nobody would've relaunched that cheap controversy he received during his Bond era if he was casted as Alfred. Before I read your post, I was about to quote Alfred himself concerning the title of the thread
"Alfred, should we recast Batman Begins?"
"NEVAH!!!!!!!!"

Gordon in TAS always reminds me of Tom Selleck.
