[American_Idiot]

Isn't Black Mask supposed to be sort of a big burly fella, similar in size to say Michael Clarke Duncan?

 

[The Chairman]

I have multiple choices for each villian:


The Joker - Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton, Christopher Walken, Crispin Glover, Al Pacino, Keifer Sutherland, Robin Williams, Tim Curry.

The Riddler - Jeff Goldblum, Robin Williams

The Penguin - Danny DEVito, Bob Hoskins, Jason Alexander (er, just kidding about that last one).

Two - Face - Liev Schreiber, Jude Law, Denzel Washington, Keifer Sutherland, Sean Penn.

Mr. Freeze - Patrick Stewart, Bruce Willis, Billy Zane.

Poison Ivy: Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Gena Davis (I know the last one's a little old, but it might still work)

Catwoman - Angelina Jolie, Catherine Zeta - Jones, Jessica Alba, Kiera Knightley, Kate Beckinsale, Elisha Cuthbert.

Harley Quinn - Britney Murphy, Rachel McAdams.

Not the best choices in the world (like the been there, done that Nicholson, Walken and DEVito), but I tried.

It's ok. To each his own, you know.

hmmm...
1. Paul Bettany or Chris Eccleston

2. it's too bad Linus Roache played Bruce's dad in Begins because he would have been my choice. i'll just be different and choose Vince Cassell.

3. David Suchet

4. Cole Hauser has the voice, the build, and the resume.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0369513/

5. i can't choose because i have no idea how they'd introduce a Mr Freeze into this version of Gotham w/o making it campy. if i had to nominate someone, it'd be Colm Feore.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0272173/

6. hmm. my pick is still Thandie Newton or an unknown.

7. i couldn't see any of them playing Catwoman opposite Bale. it's going to have to be someone he could have chemistry with. Jolie's played the vamp too often and just wouldn't fit in the Gotham that Goyer created, imo. off the top of my head, Jennifer Connelly might be able to pull it off. she has a surprising amount of range as an actress but she would need a serious makeover to become Catwoman i'd think; different hairstyle, weight loss/training, etc. i mentioned her because i could picture she and Bale together.

8. i don't like Britney Murphy as an actress but she does have the accent. for some reason, i doubt her ability to play a psychiatrist. Rachel McAdams would be an interesting choice after starring alongside Cillian Murphy in 'Red Eye.' she has the face for Harley; if not the body type. and i guess i could see her being a psychiatrist. but i can't decide. if Harley were in a movie, i'd want it to be different than the animated series. in other words, it'd just be a supporting role as the new therapist at Arkham. that doesn't require a big name actress.

 

[Cats]

Selina Kyle/Catwoman - Eliza Dushku. I've been bashed before about this one, but I think she has the look and the acting skills to pull it off.

Hasn't she already been cast as Felicia Hardy/The Black Cat?

 

[Cats]

Black Mask-Peter Stormare

Don't know about the black mask but Peter Stormare looks like Joker.

 

[Marina-Myst]

THE JOKER
Willem Dafoe

THE PENGUIN
David Suchet

THE CATWOMAN
Angelina Jolie

TWO-FACE
Timothy Hutton

THE RIDDLER
Hugh Laurie

THE MAD HATTER
Malcolm McDowell

THE CLOCK KING
Christopher Lloyd

MISTER FREEZE
Christopher Walken

POISON IVY
Kate Beckinsale

ALBERTO FALCONE
Leonardo DiCaprio

MARIO FALCONE
Andy Garcia

YOU DIDN'T SAY MARTIN SHORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!


Anyway, could someone puh-lease post a pic of Malcolm McDowell on this board? I've heard him suggested before and I wanna see

a) If he's cute (in an Tetchy sort of way)(Unless he's like 109, in which case he's not)

b)If he's related to Roddy McDowell.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

''Ve don't care. Ve still vant ze money, Lebowski, or ve **** you up. ''

 

[The Chairman]

Me likey some Kevin Pollack as Penguin. Never woulda thought of him, but he'd be great.

Pollak really doesn't have the voice for Penguin. He's also more of a comedic actor. Grumpy Old Men, Whole Nine Yards - he was doing a comedic role. Even in serious dramas, he's usually the comic relief guy (example: A Few Good Men).

My vote goes to Bob Hoskins. He's the only guy in the thread who I think could match up to Danny DEVito. I would say Joe Pesci, but he's all but retired (he hasn't made a movie in 7 years).

 

[chamber-music]

people have nailed it for the penguin with David Suchet and if not him then Bob Hoskins. Danny Devito has played him already let someone else have a go.

 

[Slipping_Halo]

Mr. Freeze - MALCOVICH! or Ben Kingsley

Catwoman - Hands down, Angelina Jolie. A lot of people say Kate Beckinsale, but I think she'd be a great Talia Al Ghul should Ra's ever show up again.

The Joker - There are a few good guys here: Vincent Gallo would be awesome. Crispin Glover may work also.

The Riddler - I doubt they're going to go for the over-the-top Joker knock-off Riddler again, and nobody could play the cerebral, arrogant Riddler better than Ed Norton could. Nobody.

Two-Face - A lot of people say Guy Pierce for Havey Dent/Two-Face, but I think he's too...uh..British to be "Big bad Harv." We need somebody who can do that sort of American gangster kinda thing that Two-Face usually has going on with the Tommy guns and stuff as well as do the inner turmoil of a split personality as well. I don't know who SHOULD play him, but Pearce definitlely shouldn't.

 

[Two-Face]

Casting Villians my choices:

Joker: Benicio Del Torro

The Riddler: Edward Norton or Jude Law

Two-Face/Harvey Dent: Michael Vartan or Guy Pearce. (dream came true if happened)

Catwoman/Selina Kyle: Angelina Jolie (dream came true if happened)

Penguin: Joe Pesci

 

[Alfie Luke]

Let's see... here we go.

Batman : Gerard Butler
Yes, I have the audacity to recast Batman!

The Joker : Adrien Brody
I don't know, to me... he looks perfect for the role.

Two-Face : Denzel Washington
I'm going ol' school with this choice, I like him.

Catwoman : Bridget Moynahan
She's cute, seems athletic and isn't an 'obivious' choice.

Riddler : Hugh Laurie OR Giovanni Ribisi
Not too sure about this one, 2 very different types of Riddlers.

Mr. Freeze : Ed Harris
The only thing is that Ed is somewhat short... oh well.

Harley Quinn : Portia de Rossi
I don't know, she seems like she could do a nice job.

Poison Ivy : Bryce Dallas Howard
Although she's a bit young, I still like her a lot.

Killer Croc : Jason Statham
I'd like to see that guy with a croc-like costume!

That's about it for now... I think I did an awesome job, no?

 

[Two-Face]

Let's see... here we go.

Batman : Gerard Butler
Yes, I have the audacity to recast Batman!

You're crazy, Butler is good actor but as Batman?! no no no....

 

[Alfie Luke]

What's wrong with good ol' Mr. Butler?

He's more 'massive' than Bale... and the face is okay.

 

[Two-Face]

He's more 'massive' than Bale... and the face is okay.

Cos BALE IS BATMAN that's why Butler could be good Two-Face or good James Bond.

 

[Alfie Luke]

... or good Batman!

There's nothing you can do to stop me!
Long live the new Batman... Gerard Butler!! Mouhahaha!

 

[Two-Face]

Whatever.....

 

[Alfie Luke]

... I kid, I kid.

So, what about my other choices?

 

[Two-Face]

Let's see... here we go.

Two-Face : Denzel Washington

I like your choices apart from Catwoman Actress, Jolie is the Cat.

 

[Alfie Luke]

I like her more than Jolie for the role...

 

[Two-Face]

I like her more than Jolie for the role...

yes she's hot! but hot as Jolie!

 

[Alfie Luke]

Damn, the image isn't showing anymore... oh well, too bad.

Well, it's not really a question of casting the 'hottest' female as Catwoman. I just think that Moynahan would seem like a less... '****ish' Catwoman. Not to take anything away from Angelina, she's hot and all...

I can see the picture you sent perfectly, you saying Jolie can't act? I say you're wrong mate!
