Director: Alfred Hitchcock (Perfect for showing Batman's obsession and fanaticism. Ever seen Vertigo? Plus, he can do great action and suspense, like North by Northwest)
Cast:
Bruce Wayne/Batman: Robert Mitchum
Two-Face/ Harvey Dent: Maybe a dark-haired Sterling Hayden? If not, then, what the hell, why not Jimmy Stewart or Cary Grant? Both have the look, and both have worked well with Hitchcock.
Jim Gordon: Kirk Douglas with glasses and a mustache.
The Batman: The plot would revolve around Batman's return to Gotham and his formation of a bond with Gordon and Dent, as well as taking down the Gotham mobsters.
Duality: The sequel would feature Harvey Dent's fall from grace and transformation into Two-Face.
The third would introduce Catwoman as the classic femme fatale.
That's such an awesome idea. Similar to mine, but my cast would be different in that it would incorporate actors from several different decades (hey, I can dream) and I'd have The Joker in The Scarecrow's place from
Begins and Dent would have Rachel's part with Catwoman also having a small part (actually, ideally, Selina would be only Selina for my film and become Catwoman at the end or later on in the series.
My film would also be ideally directed by Hitchcock and incorporate both elements of Nolan's and Burton's films, though the plot would be similar to Nolan's.
Batman / Bruce Wayne -
Gregory Peck
Bob Kane himself said that Bruce Wayne's inital look was based on Peck, and watching his movies, it's easy to see that Peck had the perfect dark, brooding quality needed for Bats.
Alfred Pennyworth -
Sir John Gielgud
One of the finest charactor actors in the history of cinema, Gielgud would've nailed Alfred's wit as well as his devotion to Bruce in a way only he can.
Jim Gordon -
Henry Fonda
Slap a mustache on him and he's perfect. He can easily nail every aspect of Gotham's only good cop: his compassionate side, his badass side, just about everything.
The Joker -
Jack Nicholson
And no one else. He's got the grin, the presence, the energy, everything.
Two-Face / Harvey Dent -
Al Pacino
Al could nail down both sides of Den down oh so easily. A younger version of him would be my ideal Dent. He'd become Two-Face somewhere in the first film, or maybe early on in the sequel.
Catwoman / Selina Kyle -
Ann-Margret
The Kitten With A Whip herself. She ahd the perfect look when she was younger, including the feline like physique and facial features.
Ra's Al Ghul -
Christopher Lee
The character was based on Lee in both looks and to an extent his onscreen persona. What more could you ask for? He's perfect.
Carmine "The Roman" Falcone -
Marlon Brando
Personally, I'd prefer Brando as my dream choice for Rupert Thorne, but he would've also been an amazing Falcone. For my dream first Batman film, he is my pick by far.
Lucious Fox -
Morgan Freeman
He simply is the character, hands down.
Well U ask smthg ... here is the answer ; but this is purely subjectiv. This is so subjectiv that I think I wouldn't do such a film to present it in the theatres but just for me.
Yeah why is this thread being made? Thanks to Nolan, Batman was FINALLY done right and a good Batman movie was FINALLY made erasing that horrible Burton/Schumacher nightmare franchise.
