Batman/Bruce Wayne Casting Thread - Part 1

[Superark]

I think Alexander Skarsgård would be a solid choice.

He really impressed me in Tarzan. Dye his hair and he'd look the part.

Hahaha.

I'm not saying he can't do it but I think he'd make a better Superman.

Oscar Isaac plays tons of non-latino characters. He doesn't go by his birth last-name so he didn't have to suffer being stereotyped into only being offered latino roles.

I'm not voting for him as Bruce Wayne but he has as much right to be considered as any other actor.

Yeah, I mean, he played Prince John (and was the only good thing) in that stupid Robin Hood Begins movie.

 

[Sawyer]

I am fully on the Oscar Isaac train and will only get off when a replacement for Affleck is made official.

Ethnically, he's rather ambiguous-looking, I don't give a **** about height, his face would look good under the cowl and he's a legitimately great actor.

 

[LaughterLives]

He's only ambiguous to those who don't recognize certain features. He totally looks Hispanic doh, especially when he's rocking a tan.

Johnny Depp is my idea of an example of someone who looks racially ambiguous.

 

[Superark]

I can definitely see him in that role as well.

Lol Johnny Depp looks like a white guy which is what he is. He tried to claim he had native ancestors to get away with playing Tonto but none were ever identified.

Cameron Diaz is Hispanic, Zoe Seldana is Hispanic there's no one look.

Isaac's looks Mediterranean but since when do we cast Batman actors by their ancestry.com DNA results?

He has more of a Bruce Wayne look than Keaton did.

 

[Boom]

Put some lifts in his shoes and Isaac can be made to look 6'0" no problem.

We've been through this song and dance before with Tom Cruise and RDJ. Height is easy enough to work around.

Keaton doesn't have the square-jawed handsomeness of classic Bruce, but his glare, brows, and pout are so quintessential Batman. And that's exponentially more important to me.

I'm more concerned with physical presence. In this respect both Bale and Affleck have raised the bar. I wouldn't want to lower it again.

I agree with this, but Keaton had a physical presence in another way that hasn't been matched since. His quiet demeanor and stare accompanied by a well made costume made him beyond intimidating in my opinion.

Depp used to look white. He hasn't for a long time doh. He looks like he could be mixed.

Again, both of those them have features that gives them that give them away if you know what to look for. Cameron absolutely has Cuban features but she could also pass for Argentinian and Zoe totally looks both Dominican and Puerto Rican but could also pass for Cuban so I don't where you're going with that one.

Of course there's not one look but there are things that give them away.

 

[LaughterLives]

I agree with this, but Keaton had a physical presence in another way that hasn't been matched since. His quiet, demeanor and stare, helped by his costume made him beyond intimidating in my opinion.

I agree with everything, especially the costume. Everytime I see affleck in his, I laugh.

i'm on board wit that. It's certainly a more inspired choice than Bubble boy.

[OutOfBoose]

Not liking Isaac as Bruce Wayne at all. Nope, nope, nope.

 

[Eddie Dean]

This thread is loco bananas screaming hellfire right now.

 

[shauner111]

Looks more like what Falcone would look like in a flashback. Like I said, I'd be down with him as Black Mask.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Some character with Latin or Mediterranean background - sure, why not. He's a really good actor. But not Bruce Wayne.

 

[Eddie Dean]

My new choice is John Cho. Not even joking. He'd be awesome.

 

[Boom]

Good news for the Anti-Hammer crowd:

When asked if he’d be open to doing a superhero movie, Hammer had an interesting reply. “I’m trying to answer in a way that’s not going to get me into trouble,” he hesitated. “Alright, ***** it, might as well go for it. I haven’t seen a superhero movie in a long time where I thought, *****, I wish I was in that.

“For me there’s not like a huge rush. Would I love to own a huge house? Yes, for sure. But at the end of the day I’m more interested now in my artistic credibility.”

Later on in the conversation Hammer backtracked a little bit, saying “if a great director came around and said ‘I have this idea’… but at the end of the day, no one’s asked and I’m not going out of my way to do it.”

How much would you all hate this suggestion?
