The Dark Knight Rises Cast The Dark Knight Returns

[Carmine Falcone]

If they ever make a DKR movie, I will be as whiny about it as Alan Moore is about movies of his comics. Just because I love it so much.

 

[deathfromabove]

all this is fun but i think that the only we will ever get a dark knight movie is if they animate it. if it was animated in the style of the comic it could be epic! i just dont think actors and sets could capture the book as well as animation. think akira crossed with dead leaves but with the look of millers artwork intact? oh if only! bale or eastwood or anyone could do the voice of bats and the rest of the cast could follow suit. im kinda sad i thought of it as it will never happen.

Batman-Henry Rollins in about 10 years, think about it. How many older guys are in that kinda shape. He's got the size, the loner style, the acting chops to be a badass. He'd be perfect. He's also got that

Superman-Daniel Day-Lewis, he's a big dude with a square jaw that can act like a dick.

I'm gonna think of some more later, I can't think of any others.

 

[Mr. Socko]

I don't ever remember a DKR cartoon series.

I don't ever remember a DKR cartoon series.

there was an episode of TNBA where they did Batman in the campy 60's style and 80's DKR style

Someone said Clint Eastwood is too old. Remember DKR is based on the first Batman series that started in 1939, or roughly 45 years before DKR. So if Batman was roughly 25 he would be 70 years old by DKR. And Eastwood is 75.

With that in mind Clint Eastwood is the best canidate (think Blood Work). I've done yesterday and today pictures to show the potential.

Peter O'Toole for the Joker.

Ann Margaret for Selena Kyle.

This may sound snobbish, but I'm suprised they weren't aware of this ep.

Ann Margaret for Selena Kyle.

I love you. Ann was always my dream choice for Selina.

Anyway, I have two casts planned out. Here they are:

If Burton returns:

Batman/Bruce Wayne - Michael Keaton
The Joker - Jack Nicholson
Two-Face/Harvey Dent - Al Pacino (my dream choice for the role. I alwyas envisioned Al as Dent)
Superman/Clark Kent - Nicolas Cage (Burton's choice when he was attached the aborted late 1990s' Superman movie)
Robin - Christina Ricci
Gordon - Donald Sutherland
Selina Kyle - Michelle Pfeiffer
Alfred Pennyworth - Michael Gough

If Burton doesn't return:

Batman/Bruce Wayne - Harrison Ford
The Joker - Robin Williams
Two-Face/Harvey Dent - Alec Baldwin or Ray Liotta
Superman/Clark Kent - Jim Caveizel
Robin - Christina Ricci
Gordon - Harvey Keitel
Selina Kyle - Ann-Margret
Alfred Pennyworth - John Cleese

Directed by: Ridley Scott
Music: N/A
Writer: Frank L. Miller

Just my ideas.

 

[DeGenerate10]

Batman- Kevin Conroy or Micheal Keaton
Joker- Jack Nicholson

Wayne is explicitly stated to be 55 in DKR. It's not supposed to be in continuity from the 1939 version.

There's little point doing DKR with someone who's never played Batman before. Then we're seeing the return of a Batman we've never known. Christian Bale is the logic choice to play Batman in a DKR movie, assuming the franchise doesn't go down the toilet... you just have to wait 15-20 years.

 

[Two-Face]

THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS

Batman/Bruce Wayne: Bruce Willis
Two-Face/Harvey Dent: Ray Liotta
Joker: Jack Nicholson or Mark Hammil
Superman/Clark Kent: Jim Caveizel
Robin: Brittany Murphy
Jim Gordon: Paul Newman
Alfred Pennyworth: Michael Caine


Director: Chris Nolan
Writer: Frank Miller and David Goyer

Composer: Hanz Zimmer

 

[StorminNorman]

I like Kevin Conroy to play Batman myself.

 

[Katsuro]

A lot of people seem to just want to use Burton's cast for a DKR movie. You guys do realize that in the Burton/Shumacer continuity, Joker and Two-Face are both dead, therefore a DKR movie could never be in continuity with them. This means that Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson could not be in it, as it would confuse the average movie goer. You cant use the same cast in different continuities. People will be confused, thinking "didn't the Joker die?". Cast a new Joker though, and people might catch on that it's a different continuity (which is what should happen with BB2). Anyways, here's my cast:

Batman: Bruce Willis

Joker: Mark Hammil (B:TAS actors are fine since no one even knows who played them. My friends didn't even believe me when i told them Hammil was the Joker.

Gordon: Clint Eastwood

Two-Face: Ray Liotta

Selina Kyle: Ann Maragaret

 

[Punisher RULES]

seeing Nicholson as Joker again would be too cool for words.

I agree. I'm going to ditch my cast for the Burton DKR. Don't get me wrong I'd love it to happen but it's too much of a stretch. That being said, I revised my non-Burton cast.

Batman/Bruce Wayne - Alec Baldwin (Harrison Ford was my original choice, but I doubt he'd do it)

The Joker - Robin Williams or John Glover or Brad Dourif (there are a lot of good choices out there (none as good as Jack, though), but these are the three that really stick out in my mind)

Two-Face/Harvey Dent - Ray Liotta

Selina Kyle - Ann-Margret

Gordon - Harvey Keitel

 

[The Chairman]

Alfred Pennyworth - Christopher Lee

 

[American_Hobo]

Clint Eastwood = Bruce Wayne in Batman Beyond

 

[Eddie Dean]

Batman- Ed Harris could probably do it. He doesn’t look anything like him, but he would have the intensity down.

Gordon- Donald Sutherland all the way

Robin- Emily Browning

The Joker- Brad Dourif

Alfred Pennyworth – Anthony Hopkins

Mutant Leader- Ron Perlman

ouldsee it

 

[The Chairman]

I've made a few moderations to my cast.

Batman/Bruce Wayne - Denzel Washington (I know, but here me out first)

Two-Face/Harvey Dent - Al Pacino

The Joker - John Glover

Alfred Pennyworth - Anthony Hopkins (he might not do it though because he turned the role when Begins was being cast)

Selina Kyle - Ann-Margret

Superman/Clark Kent - Daniel Day Lewis

Jim Gordon - Clint Eastwood

 

[The Chairman]

Robin/Carrie Kelly - Christina Ricci

Green Arrow - Sean Connery

Other characters:
Mutant Leader - Micky Rourke

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Hey... Brad Dourif would indeed be pretty cool as The Joker... Geoffrey Rush would be a great choice to.

The only right pick for Superman is Ray Liotta.

Batman/Bruce Wayne - Clint Eastwood/Bruce Willis
Joker - Geoffrey Rush/Brad Dourif
Oliver/Green Arrow - Sean Connery (too bad he stopped acting)
Commissioner Gordon - Kurt Russel
Harvey Dent - Billy Zane (only one I can think of, Dent looks alot like Zane in DKR)
Superman - Ray Liotta

 

[The Chairman]

At the risk of getting flamed. I'm changing my Batman pick to Bruce Willis.

And Carmine, Billy Zane is way too young for DKR Dent. He is 39. Slap on all the prosthetics you want, he still won't work. Besides, Zane would make a better Mr. Freeze in the current franchise. Pacino has always beem the ideal choice for Dent for me, and since he's way too old for the current franchise, I want him to play him in DKR. Brad Dourif would make a great Joker BTW, though he might be a little short.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

euh... Dent is bald in DKR and he looks exactly like Billy Zane. He won't need prosthetics.

There might be a better choiche...but not Pacino.
