Batman/Bruce Wayne Casting Thread - Part 4

[Boy Scout]

I don’t think Daniel Craig is yet old enough to be Alfred.

 

[Invader Joker]

I don’t think Daniel Craig is yet old enough to be Alfred.

I think it should be an unspoken rule that whoever plays Alfred or Gordon should not be hotter than whoever plays Batman.

 

[Sawyer]

Correct.

 

[Sawyer]

Also any of your Alfred fancasts that aren't Mark Rylance are nonsense.

Bill Nighy b****

Not a fan

 

[David H.]

Max Irons will be Alfred, duh.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Sean Pertwee is the best Alfred we’ve had so far. Gough and Caine were great but I want an Alfred that can kick ass when he has to.

Mark Rylance doesn’t really fit with that. Irons did, but he never clicked with me in the role.

 

[Boy Scout]

I think it should be an unspoken rule that whoever plays Alfred or Gordon should not be hotter than whoever plays Batman.

I think Irons as Alfred was better looking than Affleck as Bruce.

This thread has taken a turn for the worse.

Looks wise I can see it. I’m still leaning on Armie Hammer though. He’s a good actor, was already cast as Batman before, has the voice, height, billionaire playboy looks. He was meant to play this role.

He can replace Cavill.

 

[Boy Scout]

This thread has taken a turn for the worse.

Naturally. It’s a casting thread.

He can replace Cavill.

They’re friends in real life, so I don’t see him doing that.

 

[Sawyer]

Completely honest question: If Armie Hammer were, like, six inches shorter, would you all still be so eager to see him in one of these roles?

Sure. I for one think he's a good actor. He's certainly improved quite a bit from where he used to be. And even without those extra six inches he still has the looks and the voice for the part.

My biggest reservation with him is that he seems very fixed on the idea of Batman as a psychopath, and that don't fly with me.

 

[Boy Scout]

I kinda hope they’ll troll us and announce his casting last.

I hope the youngest they go is late 20s. A 24 year old Batman would feel completely off. Early 30s is ideal for me

 

[Boy Scout]

I think the guy will be 27 at the youngest.

Actors typically don't have much of a say in the characterization and direction of their role, so I don't think this will be much of an issue.

I'm sure Cavill didn't want to be as restrained and mopey as he turned out to be either.

Completely honest question: If Armie Hammer were, like, six inches shorter, would you all still be so eager to see him in one of these roles?

I would! Like Boom said, I think he generally looks like a fit for Batman and is a pretty good actor. Not on the level of someone like Christian bale and Jake Gyllenhaal but I think he would be able to play Bruce Wayne no problem.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Oliver Jackson-Cohen would be my number one pick right now.

Wasn't he in the Haunting of Hill House?

 

[Kane52630]

Yep

 

[The Guard]

Armie Hammer would be a really solid choice. He looks the part, can probably act the heck out of it. I wouldn't bat an eye if he was Batman for the next 10-15 years.

But I don't think they're going to go for a solid choice. They're going to want to go for someone who transcends the role.

 

[Popeye83]

While Tom Bateman is my pick, my opinion on the height issue is no.

 

[Cain]

Im good without Armie Hammer. Was open to him in the role only cause I have faith in George Miller. Then I saw him act....
