Brave and the Bold Casting Thread

[ArmsHeldOut]

Elordi's old enough to play a first-time father, but he's still too young to play a mentor figure opposite an adult Dick Grayson. We'll see what happens, though.

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

Tbh Jacob Elordi might be the best Batman option out there right now but I just wish he was older. I like when Batman is slightly older than the rest of the League. I always saw Batman, Aquaman, Hal, and Ollie as being a little older

 

[WayneMB]

im dumbfounded by the elordi sentiment but ok lol

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

The movie that convinced me was Priscilla (my favorite movie of 2023). He is genuinely such a talented young actor. I wanted to hate him because I thought he was horrible in those Kissing Booth movies, but he’s the sh**. He’ll be a perfect fit for Batman in like 5-10 years. Euphoria demonstrates a lot of his range as well. Have you seen much of his work?

Yeah, Elordi hasn't gotten a lot of great roles yet but he's obviously beyond promising. If they made The Batman today, I strongly suspect he'd be one of the frontrunners for it.

Euphoria's so funny. Such an annoying show but also just a volcanic eruption of incredible talent.

I fear watching Euphoria, but Hunter...

Elordi is a promising actor , but I also don't want him as Batman if that makes sense

 

[Lithium]

Recast Robert Pattinson in The Batman Part II with Jacob Elordi, cast Robert Pattinson in The Brave and the Bold as Batman obviously

 

[Chip Chipperson]

I see Elordi as more of a Jason Todd type at this point in time

He also definitely doesn’t seem like the kind of young rising talent that wants to enter the game of tentpole franchise movies at this time. At least not yet.

 

[GreenKToo]

Another name on the rumor mill. brandon sklenar

 

[donuts]

Another? Fans have been shoving Sklenar down our throats forever!

 

[LifesEnd]

i hope they set their sights on someone better than Sklenar.

 

[Deck Rickard]

There’s this other guy I heard about too, I think his name is Sklendan Branar

 

[Frodo]

I like Elordi as an actor , but I agree that he's too young for the type of Batman Gunn is going for .

If Gunn were going for a younger , rookie Batman , I could see it , but that's not what he wants .

I feel like the Brave And The Bold Batman actor would at least need to be in his mid to late 30s on the younger end , of casting .

Keaton and West were both 37 when they were cast , and Affleck was 40, so, I could see something in those age ranges for the DCU Batman .

This guy from Peacemaker for the Joker.



James Gunn doesn't seem to care to recast the same actors in different roles, so why not?

 

[Boom]

Paul Kelly (waits to be seen if boy can act):

I mean, he’s certainly got a Joker-y smile, but he’s also 61.

Even Nicholson wasn’t that old.

 

[MilkmanDan]

I would love to see Joe Gilgun play Joker. I don't even care whether he can do an American accent or not.

 

[Lily Adler]

Paul Kelly (waits to be seen if boy can act):

Someone's just combing IMDb for actors in their late 20's-30's.

 

[donuts]

Yeah, I mean... I feel like we're just suggesting people who'd look the role for a cosplaying photoshoot...

 

[Deck Rickard]

Weird thing but I worry that Elordi is TOO tall for Batman. I remember when that (awful) Justice League Mortal movie was in production (I wholeheartedly believe that movie would have sucked despite George Miller being at the helm) they put Armie Hammer in a suit that supposedly made him seven feet tall. I worry they would do the same thing with Elordi. Similarly when Affleck was Batman, they got fixated on having him “tower over Superman.” Regarding the latter, he didn’t tower over him that much but it’s almost like, due to Batman’s popularity, they can’t help but use him to undercut Superman and I’m tired of seeing that happen. We finally have a Superman people like and I want them to build on that rather than just brush him to the side to prop up the new Batman like they did in the DCEU.

 

[Sawyer]

Okay, I finally watched Drop.

I still find the belief that Sklenar is THE guy to be a bit forced, but he does have a certain screen presence. I’d be cool with him being in contention, but I feel like Bats isn’t the only character he’d be suitable for.

Yeah, after watching him in that and seeing some of 1923 I would say I like him as an actor so far but I’m not like, “Oh wow, it’s gotta be him.” If he screentests and Gunn (and whoever directs this, hopefully not Microwave Baby Guy) decide that he’s the guy, then fine. But there are plenty of others out there who feel Ike a better fit and have stronger resumes. I also agree that there are other DC characters he might be a better fit for.
