The Dark Knight Rises Casting Call (All Villains)

[cansi]

I would love to see Fassbender in any role on B3... And he is one of the few actor that i can see taking over the Joker gig

 

[Rodrigo90]

Jude Law will always be my fave for Riddler. I really cant understand why he is so underrated...Nominated twice for Academy Awards? The guy just reeks of Riddler in every sense. Road To Perdition is my favourite movie with him in,really got that Riddler vibe. The guy is English,egotistical is his middle name like Edward,lol.

[Matthew Allison]

Vincent Gallo

 

[That-Guy]

HELL NO to Gallo. The guy isn't that great of an actor and is a total headcase.

 

[Two-Face]

Christoph Waltz would make a great Batman villain. He was great in Inglourious Basterds.

 

[Doctor Who]

Incorrect. He was SPECTACULAR in Inglourious Basterds; anyone thinking Black Mask, Hugo Strange, or Mr. Freeze? Hell, even Waltz as Catwoman?

First up: Catwoman

Along with the rest of the pack, I'm pulling for Charlize Theron. To illustrate, I've got a shot of her in Aeon Flux and a photomanip that I probably lifted off of these boards.

As a dark horse, I'll nominate a personal favorite of mine. Missy Peregrym is pretty talented, drop dead gorgeous and damned athletic (she did many of her stunts for Stick It! including climbing rope without using her legs!) She comes off a little young but she's 27 at the time of post and just under 5'8" so I think it will go well.

 

[sleepwalk]

My personal idea for a Batman 3 involves less supervillainy stuff and more organized crime. I see "Ossie" Chesterfield (born Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot) moving in where Falcone left a vacuum. He runs the Iceberg Lounge. He also runs with backroom casinos including table games, sports, dogfighting and even human fighting. Then there are his "modeling and talent agencies." He's bringing classic Sinatra cool back to Gotham and despises the "greaseballs, ghetto thugs, United Nations of low-rent scum." He especially hates the "psycho-freaks" that are popping up, including Batman. He just won't say so in front of his two best men.

The man for the part? Philip Seymour Hoffman. The guy can act. He can play aloof like Capote, insecure like 25th Hour and conflicted like Doubt. Kind of like the "Nightlife King of Gotham" who has the taint of crime and the embarassing nickname of "Penguin" due to stature, build and ever-present tux. No "Penguin" pictures (a search yielded 2 billion Happy Feet posters) but I think you can see it here. Hoffman isn't comical in appearance but can play up on it through some camera angles and costume work to put him at the borderline.

 

[sleepwalk]

I see Penguin relying on some muscle here.

The king of Penguin's cage fights: Bane

Keeping with the realism of the first two films, he'll be a super-roid case on a constant cocktail of pain-killers, anabolics and amphetamines. to play him, I nominate one of two men:

Former pro wrestler and current UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.

or

Pro Wrestler and MMA fighter Bobby Lashley

Both men are one of the few who could step into the shoes of the late Jeep Swenson and actually pull off the presence needed. Both are gifted athletes with collegiate and military (respectively) wrestling championships. Lesnar's finisher was to jump forward while doing a backflip onto a guy and Lashley has a sick vertical leap, so rest assured that they aren't just big strongmen. Both are 6'3" and cut weight to 265lbs for their fights and walked around at approximately 300lbs+ as performers. The MMA fighting may affect their availability and limit the size they could put on. Lesnar likely less so as his career may be coming to a close (severe case of diverticulitis nearly killed him last year.) He's also known to be a world-class D-bag, breaking a contract with WWE, bullying his teammates during an experiment with the Minnesota Vikings and throwing temper tantrums after wins in the UFC.

And when Pengy needs something dead instead of broken? Deadshot.

Is there anyone who hasn't at least thought about Josh Brolin for this spot? Anyone?

 

[Two-Face]

Umm..... Waltz as Catwoman?

Ooh, I like this one! Brolin even has that little wayward hair curl, just like on the screencap. Sort of like Superman.

I also see him as a mafia type of guy (dark, handsome, wearing some nice suit, like Gambol in TDK). Maybe a new gangster? But since they usually end up dead, I'd much rather see Brolin as Deadshot, yes. Nice pick!

 

[Doctor Who]

Umm..... Waltz as Catwoman?

The man if f***ing acting genius; I have faith in him in either both sexes; you name it: Riddler, Penguin, Deadshot, Hugo Strange, Robin IV, Oracle, you name it. t:

I quite like your idea.

Ben foster as anyone, he makes an excellent villain.

I would love to see him as deadshot, but he makes a good villain for anyone.

 

[HolyPurpleSocks]

Adrien Brody as Mad Hatter
Marion Cotillard as Catwoman
Javier Bardem as Bane
Joseph Gordon Levitt as Riddler

Absolutely perfect!

 

[keith_v]

I know someone mentioned a cast member of Inception will show up in Batman 3. I'm hoping its Tom Hardy as Bane. Good God can that guy act! Bronson should've, without a doubt, earned him an oscar.

I'd prefer him as Black Mask

 

[Laderlappen]

I think I prefer him as The Riddler. But he would be a great choice for Black Mask too.
