u guise r goin hard rite nao.

I haven't seen ackles in anything really , so I can't judge.

Rodrigo90 · 03-20-2013, 10:17 PM

I like him. Doesn't deserve that much hate at all.

aNarcHy2day · 03-20-2013, 10:41 PM

TBQH, I don't really hate him as much a I doubt his ability. I like whatever he brings on board in the character of Dean Winchester. But I really don't think he has the gravitas for Batman!

Rocanrol · 03-20-2013, 11:18 PM

Don't like Jensen Ackles for Batman... can't see the "dryness" that even Karl Urban could bring to the Batman persona. Dougray Scott for Black Mask is actually a neat choice!

I think Mark Strong nailed Sinestro pretty well, the looks, the voice and personality. I Would love to see it in a reboot, hated GL1. And Nathan Fillion will always be GL :P

I think the boards have just gotten ridiculously elitist. "Oh, he's the star of a TV series and you're suggesting him for a big screen role?... Well, **** him, his life and his entire family, while we're at it."

flickchick85 · 03-21-2013, 12:11 AM

I'm fine with the idea of a TV actor being Batman, but even in the realm of TV actors, Ackles isn't that great, imo.

considering everyone's on Andrew Lincoln, Anson Mount, and Jon Hamm's ***** on these forums and suggesting all 3 for batman constantly , I don't really see that. but maybe AMC stars get an easy pass. not any of those 3 would be bad for the role, of course.

I've always like him as hal jordan, if reynolds is out and and pine isn't interested in another space movie.

You're right, Tatum is a better actor.

We make better heroes, too, hence Batman and Superman are both Brits.

It's "your" lot in life to be saved by us.

Ummm, no, he's pretty good actually. He's not my Bruce Wayne, personally, but he's a solid actor.

Rodrigo90 · 03-22-2013, 11:35 PM

A rebooted franchise, with Bale playing a different character.
Christian Bale - Bruce Wayne/Batman
Pierce Brosnan - Alfred Pennyworth
Bryan Cranston - Commisioner James Gordon
Richard Madden - Dick Grayson/Nightwing
Sigourney Weaver - Leslie Thompkins
David Harewood - Lucius Fox
Vincent D'Onofrio - Harvey Bullock
Charlize Theron - Selina Kyle/Catwoman
Kaya Scodelario - Barbara Gordon/Batgirl

Matt Smith - The Joker
Jane Levy - Harley Quinn
Viggo Mortensen - Ra's Al Ghul
Gemma Arterton - Talia Al Ghul
Ralph Fiennes - Mr. Freeze
Michael Sheen - The Riddler
Stephen Graham - The Penguin
Joaquin Phoenix - Two-Face

regwec · 03-23-2013, 05:19 AM

Love the choice of Matt Smith, Arterton and Sheen.

I presume you mean that you want Bale to play a different characterisation of Bruce/Batman?

It has nothing to do with that. It has to do with him being a horrible actor. Why would you want to cast a horrible actor for arguably the greatest comic book character of all time?

Because they categorically disagree with your judgement of Ackles as a horrible actor?

IMO, he's not suited for Batman, but that's because he's too good at snarky. He can do dark, but his dark is either black humor or rage at the heavens, not the kind of serene grim-ness suited for Batman.

Jensen Ackles is plenty of things, a horrible actor isn't one of them. Have you ever watched the show?

GREEN =w= DAY · 03-30-2013, 09:11 PM

i like Jensen Ackles but i can't picture him as Bruce/Batman

he's better suited as the Flash i think

Rorschach2012 · 03-31-2013, 01:11 AM

Its not about tv stars being not right its about Jensen Ackles being incapable. Hes a below average actor when compared to Anson Mount and Jon Hamm

Rodrigo90 · 04-05-2013, 08:56 PM

Yeah. Richard Madden...as long as he ain't put alongside Cavill or looks a bit different in the coming years, is my favourite Batman candidate again
