Batman/Bruce Wayne Casting Thread - Part 4

[flickchick85]

A good actor, but I would never accept a Bruce Wayne who sounds like Aaron Taylor-Johnson, lol.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I would never accept a Bruce Wayne who sucks as much as Aaron Taylor-Johnson, lol!

 

[Kane52630]

Oliver Jackson-Cohen?

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

On looks alone, Oliver's one of the best choices suggested thus far. Great height; prominent chin; jaw isn't perfectly square as is common for long-skulled types, but it's arguably squarish (FYI, comic book superheroes tend to be depicted as having both characteristics, which is rare to see in real life). I have no idea what his acting chops are like, but if he's any good, I'd consider moving him to the top of my fancast list.

 

[flickchick85]

His acting chops are great. Definitely one of the better candidates, imo.

This thread is depressing. The further we are into examining every 20s-30s no-charisma-or-screen-presence male actor, the more I admire Batman actors of the past.

What movie/TV series would you recommend that showcases his talent and preferably isn't The Haunting of Hill House? I just don't feel like watching that one for some reason.

Hill House is mainly where he impressed me, sorry to say. But I do remember thinking he was pretty good in this otherwise terrible movie called Despite the Falling Snow.

You know, I had a strange feeling you were gonna say that. Hill House it is then. lol

On a related note, Oliver kinda reminds me of Clay Mann's Bruce Wayne sans the black hair.

And how many of them had a square jaw and Batchin?

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Why?

 

[Willi Berg]

Why?

Casting suggestion for the new Batman.

 

[OutOfBoose]

And how many of them had a square jaw and Batchin?

I never considered it an important element. West and Kilmer had the best chins and jawlines, though.

The last guy to play the role.

We need an unknown-to-rising actor. At least 5'11. In his late 20's/early 30's.

everyone keeps naming 35-40 year olds or guys who are 5'6 or has been actors or A-listers who would never get the part.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I think that was Man-Bat

Fine, I'll do it. I'll play Batman.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Yeah he plays all dark and broody in "The Body" on hulu. He's in a movie playing opposite of Liam Neesons in "Cold Pursuit". He won some award for Breakthrough actor for GQs men of the year awards for 2018. I personally have not seen him in much but he doesn't feel like a weak actor at all.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Finally someone caught it! Lol

 

[Kane52630]

Oliver Jackson-Cohen is 32

 

[I Am The Knight]

He'll be too old by the time this movie starts actual production

 

[Kane52630]

in 2050? I guess.

 

[Shamik121804]

Liam Hemsworth? Just trying to think of some younger names I haven't seen mentioned. Alex Pettyfer?
