[Herofan]

Batman / Bruce Wayne : Liev Schreiber

Offbeat but could work, great actor in general, I wish (though I did like Eckhart a lot) he had played Harvey Dent in TDK.

Vicki Vale : Gwyneth Paltrow

I doubt we will see Vicki in a movie again, she's a little too ignored and/or more directly dismissed, as the part of B89 even most of its fans don't really like.

Scarecrow/Jonathan Crane : Edward Norton

Could be great as him, also as the Riddler.

 

[Herofan]

Lex Luthor : Philip Seymour Hoffman

Could be great, just thinking about it reminds me of how much range he had.

Magog : Gerard Butler

Could be good including contrast, I would really like James Marsters as Magog.

Scarecrow : David Thewlis

Also fitting and with really good range.

 

[Frodo]

Offbeat but could work, great actor in general, I wish (though I did like Eckhart a lot) he had played Harvey Dent in TDK.
.

He was one of my fan choices for Batman in the early 00s , before I got on the Bale fan bandwagon pre -his casting.

I feel like Liev would have had the intensity, and off beat nature of Keaton and Pattison, yet ,he'd have the physical imposing presence of Affleck.

I also think he would have made a great Harvey Dent/ Two Face.

 

[Frodo]

Clark Kent will have to choose
