Brave and the Bold Casting Thread

[BobJM]

Is F Murray Abraham too old to be Alfred

Probably tbh. But he could be a good Ra’s al Ghul if it’s a one-and-done.

Is F Murray Abraham too old to be Alfred

Maybe. By the time this begins filming he'll be closer to 90.

 

[J.Drangal]

Pedro would be so good but he would officially be the holder of two of the most ultra specific bits of type casting in history:

Dysfunctional but loving grouchy Dad or surrogate Dad.

And... The Last of Us spoilers for future seasons

Spoiler

man who unexpectedly dies of severe head trauma in acclaimed HBO dramas.

Yeah, I like Pascal but that would be as uncreative as it gets. I would say that his Mando character is actually not that far off from what I think Batman should be when contrasted with a young, dynamic Robin.

Personally, I have no suggestions for Batman or Robin casting. But when it comes to other characters...
I'm deep into Twin Peaks for a few months now (several viewings of the original show, and currently discovering the last season, so don't spoil me!) and I just want to see Kyle McLachlan appear somewhere next to my favorite hero.
Whether it's here or in Reeves universe, as long as it's in a good bat-movie, I'll be happy.

True

 

[SwordOfMorning]

Or Ras can always lazarus pit himself into a younger actor.

 

[Eddie Dean]

lazarus pit himself into Tony Revolori!

 

[Invader Joker]

My 3 picks in order:
-Michael Fassbender.

-Lee Pace.

-Jensen Ackles (would put him waaay below Pace and Fassbender, but he'd work fine I guess).

 

[C Prometheus]

Imagine this but in Jake's gloriously deranged shouting voice (I know people think that's a weakness of this casting but I strongly disagree):

... Crap, now I'll be gutted if this doesn't happen!

 

[BobJM]

How about Pom Klementieff as Talia? Is that too out there?

Sofia Boutella would be great too

 

[Kane52630]

Janina Gavankar for Talia

Michael Fassbender could be a good pick. I still want Jake Gyllenhaal though.

Definitely someone older than Rob for Batman. Not necessarily hugely so, but I’d say about a mid-70s to early ‘80s birth.

So no Richard Madden, and although I like him and do believe he’s on his way up, no Ben Aldridge.

He can be Midnighter.

is madden really not coming back as the eternals guy? ik keoghan's joker & druig, but the latter wasn't as big a role as madden was

 

[Invader Joker]

I wouldn't rule out a PoC actor for Batman to further differentiate from Pattinson.

 

[HydraSith12]

Very excited for the New Batman and im even more excited to finally see Damian Wayne in Live Action one of the main problems of the Old DCEU or the Snyderverse is that there was not Robin, Nightwing or the Bat Family i hope a Good Actor is Cast to Play the New Batman same with Damian

Im sure another Actor will be Cast for Joker who is not Jared Leto,Joaquin Phoenix or Barry Keoghan i think the New DCEU Joker will be more inspired in Jack Nicholson and they will use the Chemical Acids Origin again now that the New DCEU is a World where more Fantastic elements exist also we will see a New Riddler,Penguin and Catwoman sooner or later but maybe they will use them after The Batman and Joker Movies are finished i think Deathstroke could be the First Villain of New DCEU Batman

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I don't know who to cast for Batman, but he shouldn't be as old as Ben Affleck was when he was cast in BvS. Early 40s.

Nightwing should be early 20s. Batgirl/Oracle, same age as Dick or maybe a little older, around 24 or 25.

Damian should be an unknown kid.

No Tim Drake, because if Damian is going to be our Robin what would there be for him to do in the movie? Jason Todd/Red Hood... same thing. Don't overload it with too many characters. Keep it Batman, Nightwing, Robin, and Barbra Gordon.

I could see Red Hood being a Villain for the Sequels do Red Hood right this time not like Titans Version of Red Hood

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

It should be taken into consideration that Damian has Arab and Chinese ancestry. Hope they cast someone who reflects that.

 

[Jordan Elliot]

Looking at some past Gunn collaborators: John C. Reilly as Gordon?



Little bit of a Pat Hingle vibe.

 

[Eddie Dean]

There's the one really big Gunn collaborator out there, especially since it's an older Batman

 

[Sawyer]

I’m kind of curious to know if the more common Batman supporting cast will appear, and in what capacity.

If this is Batman in the larger DCU, and if that ends up taking him outside Gotham, I can’t imagine Gordon would have a huge role.

 

[WatchProtect]

I think the basics will be Bruce, Alfred, Damian, Ra's and Talia. Gordon will probably be a small role like mentioned above. Honestly? Jk could still do it

Something that I’m a bit hopeful for.

Let the classics play in Reeves’ sandbox, and use more “modern” characters in the DCU. Use Morrison’s rogues (Black Glove, Talia al Ghul/Heretic, Professor Pyg, Flamingo, etc.)

 

[Frodo]

Talia : May Calamawy , ( Moonknight) 36

Ras Al Ghul : Faran Tahir , ( Star Trek ) 59

Jim Gordon , Pat Shortt, 55, ( Banshees Of Inisherin)

Alfred : Mark Rylance , 63 ( The Outfit)

Batgirl / Barbara Gordon : Zoey Deutch , 27, ( The Outfit)

I can see them doing Commissioner Barbara Gordon in this.
