Brave and the Bold Casting Thread

lol ok then

Just gonna say I absolutely cannot stand Callum Turner. Ever since War & Peace. One of the most punchable faces I've ever come across.

I haven’t seen enough of his work to feel this strongly, but he certainly doesn’t have a Bruce Wayne look. And that’s even taking into account that our first big screen Batman of the modern era was Beetlejuice.

I feel like any moderately handsome guy can have a Bruce Wayne look (or not have one) with the right hair and makeup team. If I’m being honest I didn’t think Pattinson had a perfect Bruce look in The Batman, but it’s fine because he brings it in the performance. Granted, they were trying to differentiate his Bruce from previous ones but there were moments like the funeral scene where I thought they could have leaned more into classic Bruce.

Meanwhile in many ways, Affleck had a perfect Bruce look and yet somehow he just looked like an empty paper bag with eyeholes cut out.

Callum Turner looks too much like Connor O'Malley to be Batman.

 

[Boom]

 

[Deck Rickard]

Yeah I’m sure that’s a major consideration

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

I know people hate Affleck’s voice changer, but I don’t really think he has a strong enough voice to pull it off without the changer. His voice was always my main concern when he was first cast, but the voice changer worked for me.

That said, I don’t want another voice changer for the DCU Batman. And that leads me to Gyllenhaal. He has everything I’m looking for in a Batman candidate except for the voice.

Throwing another name out there; What about Cory Michael Smith, 38?

 

[Boom]

Not sure he reads as Batman to me.

Joker on the other hand.

 

[Chris B]

Not sure he reads as Batman to me.

Joker on the other hand.

I'm thinking maybe Brainiac.

I'm thinking maybe Brainiac.

Actually I’m pretty sure he’s the Riddler.

 

[Boom]

Actually I’m pretty sure he’s the Riddler.
