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

[Stringer]

I think going with an older actor for Batman means we'll be getting Robin or Nightwing origin for sure in the new series.

 

[x-fan]

They wasted the two best choices for Batman already hugh Jackman would have been an awesome Batman, and Russell Crowe is playing Supes dad.

 

[Marvin]

If only Andy Whitfield was still with us. I'd fight for that casting.

 

[super-t]

As for the question of a 40 yr old carrying a franchise for 2 or 3 films, I think John Campea from AMC theatres explains it best.

Dude is forgetting one MAJOR aspect. Everybody he named is more or less a professional athlete. Not the same as a actor. Ill give him credit on the Rocky part, but even then, boxing in a ring is night and day compared to running around and jumping off buildings. Just because we have a Batman around the same age as Supes in the universe doesnt mean he has to be a rookie. Lets say Bats started at 28 and is now 32 through 34. Bingo you have your experienced Batman.

 

[Kevin Smith]

You do know that people age, right? Let's say they do hire Keaton as Batman, and he is instructed to run 15 yards. He starts running and 10 yards into it, and he's bent over because he's out of breath saying "Wait....a minute......let me catch.......WHEW......my breath....". Then he's directed to jump off of something the height of let's say a kitchen table. The director yells "ACTION!" He jumps and falls down to the ground and exclaims " Damnit! There goes my hip again!" Finally, instead of water or Gatorade in between takes, he asks for his Metamucil.


t:

You do realize that most of the fight scenes and many of the walking scenes in the '89 Batman were not Keaton at all, but stunt doubles and a belly dancer, yes? And his was the best live action looking Batman to date.

still a cop out people act like a 40 year old actor is some senior citizen look at jackman the man was whooping butt in the wolverine jumping around fighting like 10 guys at the same time and having a brutal battle with shingen and the man turns 45 in october

but amc guys main flaw in his argument is he thinks you need to be 40 to be seasoned you can get a 36 year old like a fassbender and be seasoned aswell

look at butler in 300 he looked like a tough seasoned warrior and was mid 30's

I already suggested they do that a few months ago. Cast the older actor for the crossover films. Which would be like 2 or 3 movies. Then do a prequel trilogy with a younger actor, that way these "solo films" don't have to reference a shared universe since it's before Superman enters the picture. The director will have the freedom to do what he wants as long as he doesn't end the story completely. Which wont happen anyway because Nolan just did that.

Then they jump forward and do a Batman Beyond film. By the time this movie happens the "mid 40s" actor from BvS/JLA will be well into his 50s, maybe even close to 60. So you use him as the old man Bruce.

It's a win for everyone.

I dont post much bit this was the forst thing i read when i logged on and i have to say...It's brilliant

 

[Kevin Smith]

I actually think that if he had to do it, Gosling could probably play Batman, he's just not my first choice, but he is a good actor.

He's just make a much better Flash/Barry Allen.

....Everyone keeps talking about the casting, but is there even a SCRIPT for this thing yet? From the sounds of it it hasn't even been written.

It seems a lot like to me they just literally decided to do this project not long before the announcement was made.

 

[BH/HHH]

You remember the moment when he fights all those goons and that ninja guy dies all that Ninja stuff well in that part you can clearly see its not Keaton at all lol there were son had edits in that film no matter how much I love it. Still nothing will ever be as bad as the obvious changes in dancers during the famous scene in Flashdance

Seems that way to me too KS

Oh I'm not saying its ancient lol. But i want someone closer to Cavill's age. Also Jackman has been playing wolverine for what? Ten years now? Which he's been in fighting shape for the better part of his 30s and 40s. There aren't too many actors out there in their 40's who can just get in pronominal shape, let alone for more than one movie. Not saying it cant be done, but it just seams like and easier task with someone younger, especially if he is going to be carrying the mantel for a while.

Call me crazy but I was watching Frankin and Bash the other day and noticed how Many "Bruce Wayne like" qualities that Mark-Paul Gosslear has. He's tall and has a good frame, he's genuinely handsome, he definitely has that playboy look but I think he could pull off the deep brooding and contemplating look.

He's not my official pick but he's definitely got my interest.

 

[Mysteryman]

Plus, the guy says that he doesnt want another young actor because he doesnt want another origin story
he also doesnt want some 24 or 26 year old.

Does anybody really believe either of those two things are going to happen if they go younger ?
The youngest we heard about so far is Gosling , 32.
They are not looking at 20 year olds .
And they know there is no time for an origin story in this film.

 

[CaptainAwesome]

Brad Pitt was 40 when he played Achilles in Troy. In several interviews he talked about being in the best shape of his life for that role.

not for me regarding batman - but i now just found my hal jordan, thanks lol

 

[Smallville13]

Jeez. I gotta admit. That profile just looks so much better than every shot we got in Nolan's trilogy. It's just Batman straight from the page. Nolan never got the cowl right. I really think Snyder does have the potential, and will bring us the best Batman visually. I just know he can do that.

I'm not worried about the casting. Snyder brought us Henry Cavill who was perfect casting and portrayed modern (post-Crisis) Superman flawlessly.

Haha yeah. Still my favorite live action Batman though. t: Lol...which I guess says a lot.

I wonder just how much this film will address the events in MOS. Part of me, since it's a Superman/Batman film, would kind of be okay if hardly anything was addressed with MOS at all and they just focused on Superman and Batman in the present like what we'd imagine a Superman & Batman movie to be.

The other part of me would be kind of like "wha-?", but I wouldn't complain much really since it'd be a Superman/Batman movie (and hopefully as awesome as that sounds). Most of my "expectations" or hopes of them following up on the events in MOS went out the window with the kind of disappointment that MOS wouldn't get direct Superman sequel. I kind of feel like "why bother" now in a way and bog a Superman/Batman movie down with that. The events of previous Batman films won't be touched on in it, I'd kind of rather them just go into it "fresh" if you will with both, and just start it off with the status quo of each character. I half think it would be better that way.

Here's your World's Finest :

 

[Project862006]

Tiffani Amber Thiessen as WW??

 

[georgec]

Oh man, we're really scraping the bottom of the barrel now. LOL.

Dustin Diamond for Riddler!

 

[HankTheTurtle]

He's probably been mentioned around here, but I haven't seen anything in the last few pages, and he's definitely worth mentioning again.

Anson Mount (Hell on Wheels) has without a doubt become my top choice.

 

[StraightSix]

I can't wait to see everyone reaction on here once batman is cast. Should be quite the entertainment. So many of you will be disappointed
