Brave and the Bold Casting Thread

[Deck Rickard]

He's great in Emily (2022) and The Invisible Man (2020) too. Talented guy.

Also Bly Manor and Wilderness. Is there any way to see Jackdaw in the U.S.? That one looked really cool too but it’s apparently not available anywhere.

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

Superman's decent, not great, box office makes me think that WB might push for a name actor for Batman here.

Superman movie had a full cast of unknowns. Hoult was the biggest name. The film didn't do well with the older demos, so a 40+ Batman might be the way to go. Especially with the Damian storyline.

Batman is generally played by actors who have been cinematic leads before or are on the verge of becoming a leading man for the studio (Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, Bale, Affleck, Pattinson).

Personally, I would love Josh Hartnett to be the DCU Batman, checks off all the boxes. voice, height, physicality, maturity, name actor, and he seems to be making a comeback post-Oppenheimer.

Different enough from Pattinson's 'young' Batman, which is also important.

This Batman needs to have a paternal presence to him. He has raised several sons in the Bat family. He may have even inspired Pom Klementieff's Huntress and other Bat-adjacent vigilantes.

Perfect choice

Feel like Tom Bateman would look good in the cowl.

But he's a terrible actor

But he's a terrible actor

I thought he did decent enough in Murder on the Orient Express.

But then this is where I admit that I’m casting blindly bc that’s the only thing I’ve seen him in.

 

[Sawyer]

Also lol…

 

[BobJM]

Better than Ritchson at least

I love the idea of asserting likelihood when the script isn’t finished, the movie isn’t greenlit and people are just shooting the **** online based on vibes.

Mother****er, we aren’t refereeing this ballgame.

Hey, have you already forgotten what the forum looked like before the 2010s?
That was the whole point of it!

It’s so deeply awesome and funny that post-Hype he’s become an incredibly prominent DCU fandom figure personally beloved by James Gunn, who interacts with him maybe more than any other fan account and singles him out for praise. It’s like a sitcom plot twist. Hope it’s made him happier lol

 

[BobJM]

Gunn has really been talking up Tom Brittney on the press tour when asked, but I don’t if that’s a 1:1 for Batman casting too but I’d be interested if he’s shortlisted. I don’t get the Sklenar pick though…

 

[Silvermoth]

Can’t wait for them to cast Talia

 

[Sawyer]

The fervor over this new guy whose name I haven’t even had time to commit to memory is so funny to me, bc I literally haven’t seen a single example of his acting. It’s all headshots.

For all we know, this mf could be created by AI.

I wonder if you know that's Invader Joker.

Casting Room: Look at these white faces.

Varada Sethu, 33 from Andor is my pick

He’s okay in some clips of that Masters of Air Apple+ show; he looks like Kevin Conroy Bruce Wayne but it’s a toss up if he could do Batman.

If not DCU, he’d be pretty good for MCU’s Cyclops

I did not watch it but my mom watched Masters of the Air because she loves historical dramas, and the sole comment she made to me about it was, “the acting is horrible” so I’m not sure this is a good starting point.

He did have a bit part in Licorice Pizza.
