Brave and the Bold Casting Thread

Benjamin Walker (6'2" / 40 years old)

Spoiler

I always liked Benjamin Walker for a recast Man of Steel. See him more as Kal than I do Bruce, but might be potential there.

 

[Invader Joker]

Never seen him in anything but looks more soft than what I'd want from Bruce.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

Would be the second actor to play both Patrick Bateman and Batman.

 

[Boom]

He played Patrick Bateman in a stage production of American Psycho, for whatever that's worth to you.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

Great actor. My inner theatre kid would be delighted at a Broadway guy getting the part.

He's pretty threatening at points but those clips are, uhhh, not Hype suitable.

 

[NEXUS 6]

Two actors I can see playing a Morrison-inspired, less grounded Batman, in the right age range to have a couple of Robins under his belt…

Timothy Olyphant

Justin Theroux

and a slightly older dark horse, for good measure:

 

[Sawyer]

He’d be a semi-interesting pick, but I can’t imagine Jackman playing any other superhero after having spent over 20 years with Wolverine.

Theroux is the best choice i've seen on here but he's still 50

 

[Boom]

He works if they age up Damian to be a teenager.

Side note, why are black-haired, blue-eyed actors so hard to find?

is he gonna wanna play batman till he's 60+ though, lol. He's probably my top choice by far, but I just can't see him doing it

 

[HydraSith12]

I think Pedro Pascal could be a Very Good DCEU Batman it could be something different but i think he could fit

 

[Tg11]

Bruce Wayne/Batman- Jensen Ackles
Alfred Pennyworth- Sean Bean
Lucius Fox- Giancarlo Esposito
Commissioner James Gordon- Bryan Cranston
Barbara Gordon/Batgirl- Sadie Sink
Ra's Al Ghul- Benicio Del Toro
Talia Al Ghul- Elodie Yung
Harley Quinn- Samara Weaving
The Joker- Bill Skarsgard
Dick Grayson/Nightwing- Tanner Buchanan
Selina Kyle/Catwoman- Ana de Armas

 

[Deck Rickard]

I know Penn Badgley has been rumored for Mr. Fantastic but I think Batman would be a better fit.

 

[Sawyer]

I like him a lot and in another life, he would’ve done well as Matt Reeves’s Batman, but I think he’s just too cut from the same cloth as Rob (same age, sexy rockstar image, made a name for themselves on teen properties that they’re probably not too crazy about) to have them as Batman simultaneously.

Maybe, but I feel like people know him a lot more for You than for Gossip Girl. And I know that You has a lot of teen fans but he’s still playing a serial killer there and doing a convincing job of it so I don’t think it’s quite the same scenario as Pattinson.

He seems more like a "Barry Allen" type. I would cast him as the new Flash in the DCU.

Yeah but WB is committed to keeping a sex offender in that role because LOOGIT DAT TRAILERRR

I don't think that's going to happen (especially when most of the excitement for the trailer is driven by Keaton's presence and those Supergirl scenes).

Hopefully but I could see WB sticking with Miller if the movie is a hit (and presumably if Miller hasn’t killed anyone or robbed a bank in between now and the time of the film’s release).

 

[Sawyer]

I don’t think WB is committed to anything other than getting that movie out where Ezra is concerned.

Even if that movie does big numbers, they’re far too erratic a presence to rely on and this reboot is a golden opportunity to say “thanks, but we’re good.”

 

[Invader Joker]

Would be extremely hard to buy him as a father figure to a Nightwing actor. Also looks weirdly enough too working class for Bruce Wayne. And too unimposing for Batman, tho granted that could be fixed.

 

[Invader Joker]

Safran's quote on the matter of whether Ezra was done was "Ezra is fully committed to the recovery right now. And, you know, we talk to them. We’re in constant contact [and] when the time is right, we’ll have the conversation with them and decide what’s best for them personally. " which is the most BS PR answer for "Yeah we'll fire them after the movie is out."

That's why I said he looks more like a "Barry Allen" type actor. I can easily imagine him as a nerdy forensic scientist.

They're not gonna keep Miller after this film.
