Batman/Bruce Wayne Casting Thread - Part 6

[thebatfan5194]

According to Grace Randolph, Cole Sprouse is now in the mix?

 

[Invader Joker]

There has been kind of a push by WB to make Grace an ambassador to the fans by putting her in Wondercon next to Jim Lee and Kevin Conroy as an equal. Do follow her updates even if her opinions are a bit... radical lmao

 

[Invader Joker]

That said I too would take him over ATJ. I just despise ATJ for the role a bit too much. I think she was just exaggerating tho

 

[Boom]

Damn, and we were doing so well not mentioning Grace Rudolph in this thread.

0 days since the last incident.

Your disdain is so severe you'll take a baby faced actor who's biggest claim to fame is starring on a Disney show as a child, and is currently a supporting player in a CW show.

Imagine taking that over someone who actually has credentials and has starred opposite acting phenoms in Hollywood.

That is truly unfathomable.

 

[Invader Joker]

I may have jumped the ball with that comment... but still, we can do better than all of them lmao

 

[Boom]

For actors under 30, ATJ and Nicholas Hoult are about as cream of the crop as you're going to get.

 

[Black Narcissus]

At the same time, you gotta trust in Reeves tho. I don't want a midget like Lerman, but if he ends up cast then Reeves saw something that we wouldn't see till we sitting in the theater.

 

[Invader Joker]

Which is terribly depressing.

I was really high on Nic Hoult but after watching Rebel in the Rye and Kill Your Friends I'm a bit more skeptical

I actually have come around on Hoult. He can bulk up and fit the suit fine, just gotta work on the cowl fitting his slim awkward shape of a face. lol



He has better recent receipts than ATJ.

I'd be perfectly fine with Hoult, but if we are faulting ATJ for a lack of intensity (which I for one disagree with), then that applies tenfold to Hoult.

It would have to take someone really off-kilter to get me to write anyone off, whomever it may eventually be.

Reeves has driven some fantastic performances out of people, and ultimately he's the one that's actually seeing these actors put on the cowl and act off his script. No one's more qualified to judge their merits as Batman.

Couple that with a multi-billion dollar studio putting the final touches on backing that choice. A choice that they'll have to stick with for a decade or more, and is the face of their biggest comic book property and by far the great competition to offer against Marvel's success.

Yeah, I'm gonna have faith those guys know what they're doing.

 

[Black Narcissus]

I also don't see this Batman interacting with ANY JL member anytime soon. Reeves will keep his Batman separate imo.

 

[Marvel united]

Cole Sprouse as Batman would be hilarious

 

[Kadiru]

When it comes to Nicholas Hoult I still have that little indie film "Newness" from 2017 in mind. He was so incredibly wooden in that one, that I'd be really worried if he was cast. The only thing he has over ATJ is height and perhaps the voice.

 

[Superherofan123]

Cole Sprouse lol

 

[Gothamsknight]

Cole Sprouse? Uuuuuuh no

It’s good to be optimistic but that logic would imply every casting choice ever made is a good one just because they “know what they’re doing/want”

 

[Sawyer]

Cole Sprouse is a lead character on a 22-episode-per-season show. Unless they kill Jughead or something (and that's always a possibility on that show), he's not our new Batman.

 

[Invader Joker]

The Cole Sprouse thing was hyperbole, I think.

Hammer was never in the running I'm guessing

 

[Boom]

I imagine his name was tossed in, even if it came more from the studio's side.

Dylan will play Jughead while Cole plays Batman.

 

[Mandon Knight]

It's just not looking good for him. He said Hammer was in final talks and that they'd announce him in about a month.

Not only was his report immediately rebuked by the major trades, but here we are approaching May and no announcement to be had.

...and Hammer himself said he knew nothing of 'said talks'.
