BvS Batman casting thread for Man Of Steel 2 - Part 1

[Boom]

Most recently seen in Hunger Games.

Upcoming projects include a Terrence Malick film with Christian Bale, and Christopher Nolan's Interstellar.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

That was precisely why he started using drugs in the first place -- to make himself look a bit more haggard, thus older, so that he could one day portray the dark knight on film. It was his plan all along!

You and regwec win the internet.

Whats Bentley been in?

His latest movie would be hunger games 2 i think. I could easily see him as batman, work himout in the gym to gain a more athletic body and bingo. I can see it.

 

[shauner111]

I remember back in the day, watching him in American Beauty (I think it was?) when he was a lot younger.

I really hate to say it but I could totally see Bentley being cast.

It's not that I think he'd be bad, he's just not who I'd personally want. But he certainly checks off multiple boxes.

I forget, who was your number 1 choice?

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah.

In terms of looking like the comic book depiction of Bruce, you can't get any closer than Bentley. I personally don't feel Bruce Wayne needs to look 100% like his comic book counterpart; but it certainly doesn't hurt. Just send him to Gym Jones for a few weeks and we're good to go. He apparently plays a lot of soccer, so he's already athletic. Just needs a little more muscle mass.

Considering this is pretty much how Cavill dodged this same question for the past few months but at this point in time it pretty safe to assume he actually knew about the sequel plans(cross over). I truly wonder when he was clued into the Worlds Finest direction by Goyer/Snyder/Nolan.

The man can lie, I will give him that.

I forgot he was in AB.

The more I see these pictures of him, the more I want him in the role. I hope it happens.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Jim Caviezel already plays Batman in Person of Interest, which is actually written by Jonah Nolan. Yep, doesn't it suck when age gets in the way?

Yes...

But, atleast we have Person of Interest...

I've seen Hunger Games once but I don't remember his character. I could see him as Batman I like American Beauty he was good in that but that was back 2000 or 2001 when thst film came out.

I definally will watch Nolan film too. This movie could get him the Bat role.

 

[shauner111]

American Beauty was actually 99' so yeah, it's been a while.

Haha I'm gonna sound like a total stereotypical fanboy but I drank some of the Witwer Kool-Aid. I love the idea of going with someone completely under the radar, which is why I'd be open to a total unknown potentially. But I'm not an idiot, I know they'll most likely cast someone who as proven himself on the big screen.

When it comes to known actors I'm just still in this stage of comparing everyone negatively to Bale. I know that will pass eventually, but it's a process lol. I think I'm more receptive to a lesser known actor now because it would minimize my temptation to compare. Bale is just one of my favorite actors in general. There's no bigger names in the running I feel that way about, at least at the moment.

Donald Trump

Did you just refer to someone with a good head of hair as Donald Trump? One of these is not like the other.

 

[DarkSentinel]

I'm still sticking with Urban

For some weird reason I do NOT want Wes Bently anywhere near Batman. He's too smarmy. Batman shouldn't be smarmy.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

My problem with Bentley is that I thought he was mediocre in American Beauty (I didn't like the film overall either) bad in P2 and unbelievablely awful in every way in Ghostrider. His role in Hunger Games was small but he was okay. I just don't really care for him as an actor from what I've seen. Sorry.

Smarmy little weasel is the perfect description IMHO.

 

[shauner111]

Urban is too old and he always has this pissed off look on his face. I also don't like his accent for the role. Not very Bruce Wayne-ish.

If say Justice League is out in 2017 then a solo movie out in 2019. You know how old Urban will be for that first solo movie? 47. It's not going to happen.

 

[DarkSentinel]

Watch him in Dredd. That is all.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

If he thinks he looks pissed off all the time, don't recommend Dredd, recommend Star Trek or something.

 

[regwec]

What exactly is smarmy about him? When he talks earnestly about how he has been his own worst enemy, how he was unworthy of his friends, or how lucky he feels to be alive? He seems incredibly humble to me.

 

[batman44]

The suggestion of Edgar Rameriz really excites me the more I think about it. Good actor that can be intense and charming with level of gravitas needed for Batman. I'm only uncertain of his American accent. I certainly hope he gets a audition if he's interested.

I love Mccoy! Him being pissed in Star Trek is hilarious and awesome.

Witwer is still on my list. Id be happy if he was cast. But he's not my number 1 or number 2.

I love him in Star Trek. Funny but in a pissed off way. The man looks pissed no matter what haha.

 

[Boom]

Ramirez's accent was pretty dodgy in Zero Dark Thirty, and I never got around to seeing the obvious trainwreck that was Wrath of the Titans.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Christian Bale and Wes Bentley:

Bale has an interesting way of passing the torch. t:

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I didn't say Bentley himself was smarmy, I said that's how he comes off on screen to me. For goodness sake I gave the man props for beating his addiction I'm not going to turn around and personally insult him for no reason.
