Gregory Peck = Ideal Batman (for his time)

[Warhammer]

Perhaps, this has been done before, but had there been a Batman film many, many years ago, would you consider Gregory Peck the ideal Bats?

I would.

 

[darknight7]

I think he would have been a great Batman or Superman

He looks like Clark Kent in "Too Kill A Mockingbird"

[Superwoman Prime]

Hmm. Maybe.

 

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Frank Miller beat ya to it.

 

[Warhammer]

^Coolness.

 

[TwilightPro101]

Good call. But that's Dave Mazzuchelli's work.t:

 

[Two-Face]

As I said on Welles' THE BATMAN thread, yes Peck would been great and Cary Grant would been great as Bruce Wayne/Batman too.

 

[Superwoman Prime]

Will Smith would make a great Batman.

 

[The Empire Ape]

Y'a know thet Frank 'iller based his Bruce Wayn' on da Peck?

[strikezone89]

he'd be a better superman.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

he'd be a better superman.

"Gosh, Mr Kent, you look just like Superman!"
"Now why would you say a thing like that?"

Bob Kane himself said Peck was the roiginal inspiration for Bruce Wayne's initial look. I did cast a 1940s' era Batman flick a long time ago, I should repost it.

No Bob Kane said he wanted Robert Wagner.

I meant the original comics. Wagner didn't get big until the 1960s'.

 

[The Chairman]

Here's a cast I made a long time ago fro a 1940s' era Batman film by Hitchcock:

Alfred Pennyworth - Claude Rains

Jim Gordon - Kirk Douglas

The Joker - Richard Widmark

Harvey Dent / Two-Face - Robert Mitchum

Catwoman / Selina Kyle - Gene Tierney

The Penguin / Oswald Cobblepot - Edward G. Robinson

 

[The Chairman]

The Scarecrow / Jonathan Crane - Jimmy Stewart

The Riddler / Edward Nygma - Vincent Price

Poison Ivy / Pamela Isley - Rita Hayworth

 

[Cain]

Alex Ross also seemed to think so.

 

[Cain]

Edawrd G. Robinson as The Penguin is sheer genius.

"Nyeah ya see, wah wah wah!"

 

[The Shredder]

Peck would have been great I'm sure.

 

[Dark Phantom]

ANTHONYNASTI, I would put Conrad Veidt or Lon Chaney as the Joker, but they're from the silent era sadly. so, it wouldn't work out....

Yeah. Batman wasn't even invented yet. If it had been Veidt would've been perfect since he was the inspiration for The Joker. But Widmark really nails the smile.
