Commissioner Gordon Casting Thread

[David H.]

It mixes nothing up.

John Goodman?

John Goodman?

It’d have to be a Dark Knight Returns era type thing, and even then I'm thinking an old Harvey Bullock who’s softened up on Batman.

 

[David H.]

Goodman is Bullock, Jeff Bridges is Gordon.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Bridges as Gordon would really work

 

[Sawyer]

Danny McBride is Bullock, Kyle Chandler is Gordon.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I love the McBride idea

 

[Tg11]

Jeff Bridges or Kurt Russell as Gordon

The Coen Bros’ Dark Knight Returns! Clooney as Batman, Hailee Steinfeld as Robin, Bridges as Gordon, Brolin as Two-Face, Swinton as Joker and Oscar Isaac as Superman.

You should do another TDKR fancast E.D.!

S. Craig Zahler's Dark Knight Returns

Mel Gibson - Batman
Don Johnson - Gordon
Udo Kier - The Joker
Vince Vaughn - Superman

How about Jon Hamm?

The continuity nut in me could buy him as a younger Simmons.

Also, Daniel Craig for a younger Jeremy Irons, and Hammer/Pattinson as a younger Affleck.

 

[Boy Scout]

Sterling K Brown to mix it up?

Hmm...wouldn’t hate it. But then people would lose their **** over a black or mixed race Barbara.

Look, there are some actors that are good for Batman AND can play Gordon too (Keaton, Fassbender, Colin Farrell, Caviezel etc) and there are some actors that are so perfect for Batman seeing them in a Batman movie in any other role would be feel like a slap in the face, Hamm's the latter. Let him eventually play Batman in an elseworlds movie, a TV series or something.

Sounds like an incentive.

Justin Theroux

 

[Sawyer]

I could live with it, but boy would I be all over him for the lead role if they were still keeping Batman 40+ years old...

 

[FunkMiller]

 

[Sawyer]

Please, no.

 

[FunkMiller]

Please, no.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I’d prefer Gordon to be awake during his scenes.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

James LeGros

 

[Invader Joker]

.... Oscar Isaac?

 

[Eddie Dean]

Who?
