Batman/Bruce Wayne Casting Thread - Part 2

[David H.]

Tom Cullen and Aidan Turner should play the two sides of Two-Face.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Alden Ehrenreich to Michael Keaton this b****.

 

[KevTravels]

Cullen looks pretty solid.

But it's my boi's Jake G role to turn down.

If not him, then sure give it some up n coming British actor.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I just want Jake G to be confirmed already. I think that will come at SDCC.

Same. I'm not really a fan of the idea of him, but I just want him confirmed so the speculation could end already, lol.

 

[C Prometheus]

Honestly, I'd even take just confirmation that Affleck is officially out as Batman right now. It'd be ideal to get a replacement announcement sooner rather than later, especially if it's Gyllenhaal, but I think the "Will he, won't he?" situation with Affleck needs to just end already.

I agree. And I really like Affleck in the role (not so much in JL) but I'm sick of the Will He Won't He dance. And I only want him back if he puts effort into it, and not another JL performance.

100% agree.

 

[Boom]

I think the writing is on the wall that Affleck's not coming back.

Reeves talked about an emotional, mature Batman story. I don't think there's any coming back from "D-do you talk to fish?" "I don't... not... like you." and "Oh something's definitely bleeding."

Alright, I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt like Batman's character was a complete departure from what we saw in BvS. It was like going from B89 to B&R. It was such a night and day difference to me.

 

[Boom]

Bingo.

I could have seen Reeves continue on from the BvS Batman, but the hamfisted, joke of a character we got in JL? No way. It was so damaging that I don't think you can come back from it. Frankly, you shouldn't even try to. Recast and wipe the slate clean, I say.

Yup. Most (if not all) of the Batman-related Whedon inserts were embarrassing.

 

[Boom]

The only thing Whedon positively contributed to Batman in the film was the opening scene with him perched on a gargoyle. A single visual shot.

Which looked quite cartoonish, as it were.

But to balance out his positive contribution, he also removed the close-up of this shot:

[Chip Chipperson]

another excellent edition to the batface collection, including this beauty

[Limonade]

He reminds me of the Hamburglar from McDonalds--a bit.

Those bits in Gotham were right out of Schumacher’s movies! The burglar was just missing an “$$$” sign on his bag.

 

[Eddie Dean]

The eye holes in Kilmer's suit where huge. He looks like a dang raccoon.

 

[Rorschach2012]

It’s honestly crazy to me that Jake has a shot at this. He and Ryan Goaling have been my favorites for this role for years.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

we don't know anything yet really
