Batman/Bruce Wayne Casting Thread

[squeekness]

Kit is busy throughout 2018 shooting the final season of Game of Thrones, and who knows what else is on his plate. He would make a good Nightwing though.

Nightwing I approve this choice.

True or not.
The idea is growing on me.

 

[squeekness]

So dashing in that picture.

 

[Maze]

Yup, that was my thought

Gyllenhaal is a great actor and we know he can get in shape so I can roll with this. This will just add another Batman actor to the list who I feel could also be a good Joker along with Bale and Keaton.

 

[Brother Jack]

I'm probably in the minority on this, and this isn't happening anyway, but I don't want to see Joker again for a while. I want to see other villains that haven't gotten their dues yet.

TLDR; Gyllenhaal has been on standby for months, potentially as a leveraging tactic to get Affleck to commit. Ben's not coming back now, so Jake is the frontman.

He'll be playing the same Batman, surrounded by the same bat-universe cast we've seen on film already. No story to explain the recast it seems, they're just moving forward. Tone and lore will take a lot of influence from gritty crime noir, particularly Fincher's works.


...I didn't want any association with this shared universe, but I guess I can just overlook it.

Now we know why we never got to see Jake's audition for Batman Begins - he was always going to be considered for the role in future installments. After all, we did get to see Cillian Murphy's...

Eh, dont trust it.

Sounds good to me, if true.

 

[shauner111]

The stuff about Fincher makes me think we're getting Riddler as a main villain with some mob bosses sprinkled in on the side.

 

[Greens]

Yup. Don't make a big deal out of it.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

He just took a dip of some pit somewhere. Explains why he is a bit more mad here too.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Gyllenhaal would be a perfect Batman.


So watch WB go and cast Mark Wahlberg.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Let’s just wait until we get official confirmation from WB shall we?

 

[Boom]

It's a casting speculation thread, Vision. That's all we're doing.

Affleck's was also looking at Zodiac and The Game, that one had Deathstroke as the main villain and I'm fairly certain that wont change.

 

[shauner111]

Deathstroke shouldn't and hopefully won't be in the new Batman film.

Zodiac? The movie with Jake Gyllenhaal? The writing was on the wall!!

 

[Boom]

I don't think Deathstroke is happening in The Batman. I don't think it's an accident that they're developing a solo film for the character, among other things.

 

[shauner111]

Exactly.

 

[Omegabat]

Deathstroke shouldn't and hopefully won't be in the new Batman film.

Well why not? (Sad face). If they plan on using him as a hired thug for flashy fight scenes working for an Eisenberg style villain then yeah I'll pass on him too. But Batman hasn't faced a true dark twin an inversion of who he is in his cinematic history. The closest was Bane and while Nolan and Hardy did a great job they never went all in on that angle. So if they pursue Deathstroke from THAT angle then I very much want him to be the main. Batman against someone as smart, resourceful and dangerous as he is but a someone as dedicated to being the best as Batman is except Slade is about taking lives while Batman is about saving them. They can even compare and contrast their effect on their families. Slade and Bruce are similar in how they treat people around them. So you get a detective film, action,Bat family and emotional crutch all in one film.

Mark Wahlberg doesn't even deserve to be famous. He's a racist, homophobic sociopath and no one gives a damn.
