I Am Going to Tell Them It Was All Your Idea: The Supporting Cast Thread

[Babillygunn]

Rewatching The Leftovers and feeling like Amy Brenneman as Leslie Thompkins is a choice I could get on board with.

I love Amy Brenneman, and I have since she was in Heat, but she looks too young for me.

My ideal Leslie Thompkins would be Diane Keaton

I mean, if we were going more traditional and true to the text, sure. But the character is just about as much a mother figure to Bruce as Alfred is a father figure, and let’s keep in mind that this version of Alfred wasn’t even 60 when we last saw him.

I think it works.

Leslie is often portrayed as a contemporary of Thomas Wayne. Keaton at almost 80 is too old for that as well as to be believable as a practicing doctor/therapist in a rough area like Crime Alley. Brenneman who is currently 60 is a pretty good age match actually. Just give her what would presumably be her natural grey hair.

I think the issue here is that @Babillygunn can't think of Brenneman as old because he would then have to think of himself as old.

I wanted her for Lois Lane once upon a time. Brosnahan’s the better pick for that, but I still need Cooke somewhere in the mix. She’s damn good.

RHEA SEEHORN FOR SARAH ESSEN, DAMMIT!

With limited time to devote to a Gordon subplot, I’d say have the affair be something that occurred prior to The Batman, the marriage ended but he and Essen still went their separate ways, and now the current state of Gotham has brought Essen back into the fold and things start to rekindle.

I was watching Maxxine today, and I gotta say I would love to see Kevin Bacon here. Maybe Bullock or Blackfire

ever since that unlikely rumor of Victoria Pedretti as Harley Quinn, I've been heavily in this camp. She'd be perfect, and Matt wouldn't even need to make her Harley, she could stay as Harleen, a doctor at arkham with a quirky personality.
