Batman/Bruce Wayne Casting Thread - Part 6

[Micromind]

To be honest I can see Pattinson as James Bond easily.

 

[Invader Joker]

Man it sucks how there's not a single actor under 30 that'd be even remotely exciting for the part

I hope they give Batman a beard in this...it would actually make him look more badass

As someone who has some facial hair, imagining the hairs getting stuck in portions of the cowl makes me wince

If they give him like a Batfleck type beard then it wouldn't be so bad in the cowl...if anything it would just add to Bruce's look

I do agree the 5 o’clock shadow is a must!

Man it sucks how those same six under-30 actors we always talk about in this thread are the only actors under the age of 30 in the entire world.

I can notice Evan Peters is handsome mainly because I've heard a lot of girls I know saying he's handsome since the Quicksilver days and with his seasons in AHS. Calm down haha. I've not heard similar comments about Ethan Peck yet mainly because of how unknown he is, that's why I have to ask.

As a red-blooded heterosexual female (and a person with eyes), allow me to assure you Ethan Peck is far, FAR more classically handsome than Evan Peters.

Peters’ fan base just comes from those quirky, damaged ’wooby’ characters he’s always playing, imo. Those character types always attract the tumblr crowd.

 

[Boy Scout]

I’m a redblooded mostly heterosexual male and I think Peck is one damn handsome man.

 

[Eddie Dean]

He's objectively handsome. I don't see how any one could dispute that.

 

[Tg11]

Ethan Peck is my new favorite and could you imagine if he were cast given that he comes from Hollywood royalty ie. Gregory Peck and the Batman character was pretty much modeled after Gregory Peck

 

[Eddie Dean]

has anyone mentioned batman was modeled on gregory peck

 

[Invader Joker]

Acting wise he still doesn't impress me but we'll have to see if he even appears in any shortlist.

 

[MilkmanDan]

I see what you mean. His eyes are slightly too far apart?

There is definitely something about his eyes that weirds me out. I mean, I can tell that he's obviously a handsome man, but I also kind of want to tell him to stop staring at me.

That might not be a bad thing. I could live with a Bruce Wayne with a touch of crazy eyes.

 

[fan4stic]

I think the cowl would look solid on him. He has a squared jaw that I think plays for the role of Batman. His Bruce Wayne look I think might not be as clean. Though he does seem like a softer Batman than what I imagined Oliver Jackson Cohen could be, based completely off of looks. Maybe I could go back to my original Catwoman fancast of Rosa Salazar to more adequately play off of that?

 

[Boom]

Only one way to find out.

Need Ethan Peck manips.

 

[Invader Joker]

I was checking the news and rumours of back when before Affleck was announced in BvS and man do times were so much different back then. It only took a month before knowing the casting and while the rumours were all over the place, at least things didn't seem to be radio silent as they are now.

It's a bit impressive how this movie has been in the making for two years, Affleck has been out for at least one and a half and they stil don't have a guy yet even though they've appareantly met with actors last year and in 2017.

 

[Manasrepublic]

Miles Tellarr will break people’s necks when his new Fresh Too old to die young releases. He is the real choice. His is the only name out there that is free and in the works. All other actors are busy or not interested or not even rumored. No ATJ or Evan weakling Peters

The picture above really sells him as a better Bruce Wayne as well, more so than Keaton looks-wise. He is ripe for the part and done and fresh

Even the newstatesman states that Miles Tellarr is a great actor: Miles Teller is a great actor. So why does he make so many bad films?

The man can act circles around most actors his age. His skill set is pretty supreme. He just needs plum projects and not only would he benefit from Batman, but Batman would hugely benefit from his skilled input and labor

Welcome to the real deal

 

[Frodo]

Teller looks very much like a young Michael Keaton imo.

I'm not sure I'd want him for this film, but for a prequel to B89 along with Ben Mendelsohn as a younger version of Michael Gough's Alfred, i'd go for it.

Some shots of Pattinson from High Life.

This is one of the reasons I suggested Peck in the first place, and something I noticed in his Spock portrayal - he has very intense eyes and can also act well with his eyes. That’s important when playing a generally emotionless Vulcan who doesn’t partake often in typical human mannerisms like smiling and frowning and so on, but could be equally important when playing a character whose face is half covered by a cowl and who also isn’t prone to displaying a wide range of emotions - asides from anger.
