Batman/Bruce Wayne Casting Thread - Part 4

[Willi Berg]

If we're throwing in names like Pattinson and Pettyfer why not another Brit, a bit newer on the scene- Joe Alwyn (age 27 height 6ft 1):

Pattinson has dull look about him even in best pics I can find, and he has charisma of a brick wall.

And, If Seann Penn is Alfred, I fear how other Gotham criminals look.

 

[KevTravels]

Ryan Gosling, Josh Brolin, Joe Manganiello, Max Martini, Richard Armitage and Matthew Goode

Armitage would have been AMAZING!

 

[KevTravels]

I can understand other reasons people bring up as to why they don't like Hoult for the role. But I don't buy this as being one of them. The guy was just in "The Favourite" and he was in "Mad Max Fury Road." He makes interesting choices with his movies and roles. Many are small, experimental or arthouse, some don't get noticed, many are offbeat.Then he's in an ensemble supporting role like Beast in X-Men. Next he's playing J.R.R. Tolkien.

He's a decent actor. He was amazing in The Favourite. But he's better in supporting roles than as the lead in a big studio flick.

Go on. He's kinda unknown-to-rising star. I'd go with him.

This guy, Diego Boneta (28 years old) auditioned for Batman 6 years ago. His accent is bad but maybe it's imrpoved since then.

I'm pretty sure that was parody. He was American 100% in Rock of Ages.

 

[KevTravels]

Well, Hollywood is full of stories about second chances. I'm curious to at least explore him, I don't necessarrily want him but he intrigues me a bit.

they also have given 2nd/3rd chances to countless "pretty looking white boys who can't act"

I wouldn't give him a single consideration for Batman. We can do far better.

 

[Marvel united]

Why does everyone hate Pettyfer? He seems like a genuinely cool guy. I'd crack open a beer with him

 

[Iceman]

Ryan Gosling, Josh Brolin, Joe Manganiello, Max Martini, Richard Armitage and Matthew Goode

Nice list

 

[Mandon Knight]

Goode is not Batman material I'm afraid, as talented as he is and I loved him as Ozzy in WM, he's not 'built' for Batman, Bruce maybe but even with months of training, 'gritty s**t-kicker' is not his thing.

I really don't know who my choice to follow Ben would be, some actors have one side, some the others, but for me, there isn't one specific actor who 'stands' for all 3 aspects of the character, out there at the moment.

 

[Popeye83]

For a straight up Affleck replacement.

 

[Invader Joker]

This should make some of you happy

 

[Superherofan123]

Hammer or bust.

is that a reliable source?

 

[Invader Joker]

He's friends with some people in the industry.

 

[Micromind]

If age is not a problem, then I suggest Anson Mount.

 

[Sawyer]

If they're not intending to go younger, it's Justin Theroux or bust.

…. I thought he was just some dude who made some really good photoshops/fan art

Several actors and crew members love his art and have spoken to him. He's got connections.

I actually think Pattinson could pull it off. I'm sure he'd bulk up too

 

[hellblazer103]

Then where's my damn Ice Cube as J Jonah Jameson casting

 

[Invader Joker]

I'm warming up to the idea of Pattinson.

 

[Micromind]

Armie Hammer or bust.

 

[Invader Joker]

Armie Hammer.
Jack O'Conell.
Jeremy Irvine.
Alex Pettyfer
Jonathan Groff.
Robert Pattinson.
My choices.

Wow...I just threw his name into the conversation because I think he's under-rated (he should have been nominated for an Oscar for Good Time)...and I think that he looks naturally dark and brooding, and can pull off anything required of Bruce Wayne. The fact that they are actually looking at him as a potential Batman is cool.

But again...any number of actors would be fine for the role.
