BvS Batman casting thread for Man Of Steel 2 - Part 6

[Sawyer]

He should've just done Year One and TDKR and left it at that. Everything Batman that he did afterwards was just one abomination after another.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Ugh, yeah that was even worse. I only read a few issues and gave up on it because it was so terrible.

I stuck with it mostly because of the art.

 

[Wheels]

I stuck with it mostly because of the art.

Lee's art was the best part without question.

 

[slumcat]

Remember that James Franco also lost the Peter Parker role to Tobey Maguire and then he was cast as Harry Osborne. Also, Cillian Murphy lost the Bruce Wayne role to Christian Bale but was cast as Scarecrow instead.

That's how I see it for Joe Manganiello if he does get to be Batman and he would still star with Henry Cavill whom he lost the Superman role to.

And Hiddleston was one of the finalists for Thor. He had even muscled up for the role. And then Brannagh called him and said we can't give you Thor, but how about Loki?

The rest is history...

 

[slumcat]

People keep bringing up Joe M but he's a huge superman fan. Did you see how bitter he was when Henry got cast instead of him?....you think he would want to play batman along side the British guy that took his role? Cause that's what's he said when referring to Henry

He's literally still a supporting role in a TV show. He would gladly take any and every movie role that he gets. He still hasn't broken into films.

Actually, it was only part of the downtown core that was flattened. Quite possibly no residential buildings were destroyed. It seemed mainly office buildings. Still disruptive, but more on the level of 9/11 than WWII bombing of London.

There were numerous articles discussing the damage and the consensus is that it was almost like a nuclear disaster. When they show the city after the world builder is gone, the city literally looks nuclear bombed. After that Zod and Supes smash each other through builds causing more destruction.

Here is a chart made by professional damage experts.

 

[slumcat]

Well, they did not specify time frames, so maybe it was rebuilt. Especially if SM helped with the rebuilding. On the other hand, it might be the new office, since the publisher is not willing to deal with having a temporary office for the 12 years of rebuilding.

I think it was a new office cause they showed the building next to Daily Planet fall over it, the one which Jenny and Perry run from.

 

[slumcat]

Here ya go.

I'll gladly have that drink but without the sugar barf.

 

[CharlieS]

Anyway i hope the movie will deal with the destruction of Metropolis, i hope Luthor will become president but not in the beginning maybe more during the quarter of the movie or in the half of the movie. In that way we could see the relationship between Lois and Clark in their life and how they'll deal with all the news of the destruction of metropolis.

throwing a random suggestion might be a bit older is Canadian actor Yannick Bisson

I think Clark unconsciously made a mistake in the movie by researching his origin. The revelation of his origin provoked a lot of catastrophe. His father told him to not become a superhero but the quest for his origin was too strong. I hope the movie will deal with the responsibility of his power, with great power come great responsibility. Clark could seek help and advice from Jor-El in all of this, in the fortress of solitude, he could seek help from Lois too.

Come on people, get with me on this one. The new Batman should be
GERARD BUTLER.

- he can do suave (Phantom of the Opera), he can do badass (300,
Coriolanus) , he can get pumped up enough to stand next to Cavill and not look like Superman's little sister.

And best of all, the growly voice. Imagine him growling
" Madness? THIS IS GO-THAM!" as he kicks the Joker off a rooftop.

I know I sound like I'm taking the piss, but I actually mean it.
Butler is the best choice for Batman (especially if there's a bit
where Bats has to put the smackdown on Superman, you want
somebody who you actually believe could do it, and that's Butler).

No disrespect to Jon Hamm fans, but Butler's left pinky is more
badass than Hamm-on-steroids-carrying-a-minigun-riding a harley
without a helmet.

So please people, vote Gerard Butler for Batman !


If any of you dudes out there with mad photoshop / manipulation skills
create a graphic for Butler as Batman (like the Karl Urban as Judge Batman photo) you are a ****ing LEGEND, and earn my eternal respect.
becuz we really need a graphic to sell this idea.

He can't do anywhere near a convincing American accent, though.

Haha that's awesome. I think he's great and his performance in 300 is legendary. But I think that might be detrimental, he's so closely identified with that role and performance that people might find it difficult to except him a different comic book character.

Plus don't mean to be ageist but he's sorta on the older side. And he ain't Leonidas anymore for sure and has been in very bad shape for some time.

But still I wouldn't object. He's a the man and could rock it.

He's sorta like Connery, he doesn't do accents at all it seems. Connery spoke however the **** he wanted.

I haven't made this.

He looks like Hammer and Macht had a baby together to me.

His American "accent" was fine in Gamer.

Ok, so I'm going to make a suggestion that may not be very popular, but I've thought deeply about this. How about Josh Hartnett?

He's proven he has the dramatic chops (Black Hawk Down, Mozart and the Whale), the lone comic appearance (Sin City) as a psychopath, his venture into a detective role (Black Dahlia), and he sort of has a 'younger Josh Brolin' vibe to him. I know he's not the hottest commodity in Hollywood right now, but I've always been a fan of his (minus Pearl Harbor). I think he'd be a great name to throw in the ring.

Butler is my no.1 choice for Batman also. He can play the brooding badass (Olympus Has Fallen) is handsome enough for the Bruce Wayne role & has that Scottish charm which makes him quite the ladies man in real life.
His american accent isn't all that bad and he is quite versatile as an actor which makes me think with the right direction he would be perfect.
Gerard Butler for Batman.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Josh Hartnett has been suggested a lot over the years. I don't think anyone would be excited now if he were cast, he's a has been.

He would've been good back in the early 2000s when he still had a career

His American accent sounds like a person's stomach growling

This would only be magnified when he's near Cavill.

 

[shauner111]

Hartnett is like a Bomer pretty boy suggestion. Plus hes a has been, not a box office draw.

Butler and Evans need the world's greatest vocal coach.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

I don't mind a has-been as Batman, though. The film will boost anyone's career as Batman, as long as he does a good job in the role.

 

[shauner111]

That's not how it works though. WB can't risk a has been for a billion dollar franchise after Bale.
