Batman/Bruce Wayne Casting Thread

[C Prometheus]

Oddly enough, Enemy is the film that has me most convinced that Jake can play Batman. Neither of his characters are immediately "Batman-esque" per se, but there's a mutual darkness that Jake immerses himself into for both roles in that film that I think would be magic with Batman.

He's astonishingly good at playing psychologically tormented and nuanced characters.

I hope with all my heart its true but I don't trust Campea AT ALL.

 

[Maze]

He nailed the obsessive, intense guy more than once (prisonners)

 

[BaneandDawn]

 

[Maze]

He's not the only guy saying it though.

Also Jake and Amy Adams are good friends and starred together on Nocturnal Animals last year. So that's another thing I like about the guy.

I’ll admit that I haven’t seen most of his recent work.

Gotta throw in Gyllenhaal's other Villeneuve film ("Enemy") in here too. AMAZING film.

 

[The Joker]

I'd be on board with Gyllenhaal. I think he can bring a lot more gravitas to the role than Affleck. Not to mention enthusiasm.

 

[Boom]

I’ll admit that I haven’t seen most of his recent work.

You need to make a point of watching Nightcrawler and Prisoners ASAP. Trust me.

I know the feeling. I'm sure this is the best fit. Then again I said that about Heath Leadger playing the Joker and boy did he prove me wrong.

Opening scene, flashback to kid Bruce, perhaps discovering a bat in his belfry!?
