The Dark Knight Rises Casting Call (All Villains)

[warren_sparta27]

acid... chemicals it's all the same stuff

 

[Mr. Socko]

Forever Two-Face doesn't exist, that was campy joker dressed liked two-face

Lol

Btw, in Batman Forever, it's said that ACID is thrown in DA Harvey Dent's face. Not chemicals. I didn't mind the look of Tommy Lee Jone's Two Face at all. It was the lines and direction of the character that I didn't like. Although that half cheetah suit was kinda lame.

Wow... Best cast ever? I think so.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I can't see The Rock or Knightley, but other then that it's very good.

 

[warren_sparta27]

i'd hate to see the Rock in a Batman film

 

[Ronny Shade]

That is an amazing cast, friend. I can't say I'm a huge Knightley fan, but I'll accept it because the rest of your choices are so damn good.




p.s. The Rock is a good choice, but Bane should be Dalip Singh with Edward James Olmos's voice

 

[Eddie Dean]

It’s kind of left field, but I could see Daniel Day Lewis as Freeze.

 

[Ronny Shade]

UP D8 on my Mr Freeze choices!

New addition (and not no bobby brown)

Pete Postlethwaite

I just watched The Lost World and he was awesome in it. He would own as Freeze IMO (and not just cuz he's bald!)

 

[Eddie Dean]

I really like Pete Postlethwaite, but I'm not sure if I could see him as Freeze.

 

[ghost113]

I could see him as Hugo strange for some apparent reason

 

[Two-Face]

He would been better as Alfred.

 

[Ronny Shade]

but we agree he's awesome

 

[The Chairman]

It’s kind of left field, but I could see Daniel Day Lewis as Freeze.

I could see it.

As for Pete Postlethwaite, I could see it, he's a good actor. Also, I don't think he's bald. Every picture I've seen of him, he's had hair.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Okay he was bald in The Lost World. That's what I know him from.

 

[The Chairman]

edit

 

[The Chairman]

To throw in a name, what about Jonathan Pryce for Freeze?

 

[L0ngsh0t]

I've seen separate threads for the casting of individual villains and/or villains who haven't been used in the prior Batman films, but how about a thread where we list any and every villain and who you'd like to see play them in one thread... Assuming this Bat-franchise goes on as long as the Bond series, cast any villain you'd like from A-list villains such as the Joker and Two-Face to obscure villains such as Abbatoir and Steeljacket.

Here's my ideal cast for future Bat-villains...

its funny that of all the quality movie jolie has made, you choose the worst one to present as her movie

the worst? really? I found it mildly entertaining, but the Lara Croft movies I can't stand but i guess thats way of topic. Anyway............


Do people consider the Creeper a villain? I thought he was more of a hero. A bit to enthusiastic and impulsive, but a hero none the less?

Of all the Bat-rogues, who do you think will actually be used. I feel that Clayface and Ventiloquist will never be used. While Killer Croc and Firefly will prolly be reduced to thugs for higher profile villains.

I think with Nolan's style, he can make real good use of Catwoman, Joker, Mr. Freeze, Mr. Zasz, and most of all, Two-Face.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Kevin Spacey would have made a good Calender Man, especially if played like his Se7en character.

Billy Zane could work too.

I'd like to see Calender Man as the Hannibal Lector type supporting character like he did in The Long Halloween.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Kevin Spacey would have made a good Calender Man, especially if played like his Se7en character.

I could see that.

I could see John Malkovich working also.

 

[Skiptastic]

Please, if there is a God, let him allow Liev Schreiber to be Harvey Dent and not Josh Lucas. All this talk on BOF about Lucas worries me so.

 

[super scar]

I really hope that if they are casting Harley they give Fairuza Balk a screentest.

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

The Joker- Tim Roth or Sam Rockwell. If not those two then Adrian Brody with Mark Hamill doing the voice-work.

Two-Face- Liev Schrieber or Ray Liotta

The Riddler- Jude Law

Mr. Freeze- Sir Ben Kingsley (He also should play The Vulture in "Spider-Man 4")

Penguin- Bob Hoskins or Paul Giamatti. Hell no to Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

Bane- One big tough muscular Mexican.

Rupert Thorne- Paul Sorvino or Jonathan Winters

Harley Quinn- Brittany Murphy

Killer Croc- Kane or some other ugly-looking WWE wrestler

I like that you have Knoxville as The Creeper, but I'd rather see a Larry David or hell Paul Schieffer as The Ventriloquist with Robert Deniro or Al Pacino doing Scarface's voice.

But I know both would not work as The Ventriloquist.
