Batman/Bruce Wayne Casting Thread - Part 1

[Rodrigo90]

I think his eyes have the perfect intensity for Batman, or when Bruce looks up at the sky and sees the Batsignal shining

 

[Rodrigo90]

Plus, he’s got a kickass voice. He wouldn’t need a voice modulator for Batman.

Who the **** is Aidan Turner? If he's the guy from the Hobbit with the worst subplot, then no, I'll pass.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Check out Poldark

 

[Rodrigo90]

Watch him in that before you shoot him down from the sky

 

[MadderMaximus]

I was surprised to find he's actually 6 foot.

 

[shauner111]

Looks corny. Any movie suggestions?

 

[Sawyer]

Watch the UK Being Human.

 

[Jekecy]

We know he can act. And I think he has the perfect intense look for Bruce/Batman

Looks like a pre-chemical bathed Joker.

 

[LaughterLives]

He looks like Jeph Loeb's Harvey Dent to me.

 

[MadderMaximus]

Tim Sale's the artist, but yeah there's a resemblance.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Slick the hair back and it looks like his Bruce wayne

 

[LaughterLives]

I don't see it.


He still looks more like this:

[FatRobin]

Spoiler

I don't see it.

That's Jon Hamm lol.

Spoiler

 

[Sawyer]

Good God, I have never been more desperate for a casting announcement to be made...

 

[Rodrigo90]

The madness has got to stop or regarding Hamm?

 

[Rodrigo90]

He looks like Jeph Loeb's Harvey Dent to me.

To be honest, I could see him in either role. I just can't ignore the intensity of those eyes

 

[LaughterLives]

LOL! Well, I'm not trying to rip on the guy but Intensity is not what I'm feeling at all.
More like a sudden sense of awareness.

I need a Batman with edge. Who looks like he can be a bit psycho. This guy doesn't do it for me. Neither does Hamm.

I could totally see Turner as Superman.

 

[Rodrigo90]

A sudden sense of awareness that the chilli flakes in his meal were a bad idea

Then I suppose Jake Gyllenhaal is your man

 

[LaughterLives]

I'd rather see Gyllenhall as Joker but I definitely wouldn't be mad If he played Batman.
He's just not my first pick.

 

[KevTravels]

Hamm isn't getting the role.

It's either Gyllenhaal or they give it to an almost unknown/rising star type actor

though if the first debuts in 2020, Gyllenhaal will be 40 but can easily pull off early 30's. I just wonder if he would contract himself to a trilogy especially considering how he really enjoys doing indie films.

 

[KevTravels]

I recall early 2000's when just about every young actor was in the running for Superman, but many hated to sign on for 3 films. Josh Hartnett in particular. Maybe better, so that Superman/Clark Kent would be played by a lesser known actor.

 

[shauner111]

Im at a point where it has to be Gyllenhaal or I won't see it in the cinema. After Justice League (which I didn't see in a theater) and The Last Jedi, I think I'm burnt on expensive blockbusters. They're just not doing it for me. I need an announcement that makes me crazy excited or I just don't care anymore. There's too many movies past and present for me to watch and be excited about. A DCEU batman film with a director that makes "alright movies" with some meh actor replacing a crappy one like Ben Affleck...that's just not worth my money or excitement in my eyes.

Gyllenhaal or who cares.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Thank God Reeves’ approach is to make the movie noirish and Hithcock-like.

I think that’s why he wants an actor like Jake. He fits more this approach and vision than a blockbuster type actor does. Ryan Gosling is another one like that.

 

[shauner111]

Yeah, it's the only thing that gives me hope that this won't be another dumb comic book movie and that we may see a great actor in the role.
