The Dark Knight "Dent, Damnit!", Dent casting "may not be considered conventional"

The cartoons exist in the great sort of netherworld between races. I mean, Bruce was obviously white. So was Clark Kent in Superman TAS, but Harvey Dent? Lex Luthor? It's kinda hard to tell.

Lex Luthor in TAS couldn't have been white. Even his voice was more...non-white.


You know what, thats it. Hire an actor who we are not sure about their ethnicity...like Vin Diesel (Not for Dent, but an example of an actor whose ethnicity is ambiguous.)

Uh?
He looks white to me.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Lex was voiced by a white actor.

There was a while in my musings where I thought Diesel would actually be a good translation of TAS Luthor to screen, buty I fear he's not cerebral enough to play a genius.

'course I could be wrong.

I said that he didn't sound white in TAS.

i would agree there is something about the way he talks ( i even think he is an above average actor) that he wouldn't be a believable genius

in saying that Dent could be black white or asian, if Nolan believes he fits his plan best i will role with that even if i disagree with the choice

er... screentests?

Actually from what's implied in the interviews with Nolan....Heath didn't screentest.

He doesn't really sound white. But he sounds like the guy who voices him...who is white.

hey.


like I said...netherworld of races. i love it.

he just grinned the night away, and that was good enough for everyone involved

 

[Crooklyn]

Heath went on the casting couch.
