The ‘Batman’ Casting Thread

[TheIrishAvenger]

The next Batman. The thread for casting, discussing and analysing Bruce Wayne/Batman.

 

[Boom]

If they go older:

Jon Hamm
Anson Mount
Andrew Lincoln

If they go younger:

Diego Klattenhoff

 

[Eddie Dean]

My main man, K. Urban.

 

[BatsDC]

My main man, K. Urban.

+1

Would love to have Urban as Batman. But I fear he'd be a little too old if they don't do the film soon-ish, bearing in mind WB would likley want a new series. But still, he's my top choice.

 

[SlamAdams]

Karl Urban would be cool. Previously I was thinking Timothy Olyphant

 

[elsewhere]

Michael Wincott
Brad Douriff

I've always envisioned these two in a Batman film. No idea what roles they would play.

 

[TruerToTheCore]

Someone I don't know.

Michael Wincott

brad douriff would've been a great joker.

wincott kinda looks like heath ledger so maybe he would've made a good joker too. but he might be more " black mask " material. hell he could even be batman material. but of course, i'm judging mainly by his role in the crow since that's the only movie i've seen him in

Jon Hamm
Anson Mount
Andrew Lincoln

they might as well make a batman AMC series going by that casting

i suppose that'd include bryan cranston as gordon too ? lol

not that i disagree with any of those choices at all, i'd love to see that.

[Rorschach2012]

Anson Mount

Jon Hamm

Karl Urban

Colin Farrell

Wes Bentley

At this point everyone has seen him suggested for the role, but...that's because the dude would be an awesome Batman. Ryan Gosling

 

[johnrain]

John Heder as Bruce Wayne
Rooney Mara as Barbara Gordon

 

[Silvermoth]

I like the idea of an older Batman now. Jeffrey Dean Morgan or Luke Evans would be great

 

[StarLord]

Please keep Colin Farrell away from this movie.

 

[hellblazer103]

John Heder as Bruce Wayne
Rooney Mara as Barbara Gordon

............napolean dynamite ?

 

[Rodrigo90]

You can't really make a Bat franchise with those two.

IF Batman is out 2019, Hamm would be 48 and Mount, 46.

 

[Robin91939]

Ray Stevenson.

[Silvermoth]

Here's who I would cast.

Batman (Directed by Darren Aronofsky)

Batman/Bruce Wayne- Idris Elba

Alfred - Bill Nighy

Jim Gordon - Bryan Cranston

Robin - Xavier Samuel

Barbara Gordon - Felicia Day

The Riddler - Daniel Mays

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Sam witwer/Bruce Wayne

 

[cryptic name]

Elba would make an AWESOME Batman. And I would like to see Felicia Day in a Batgirl outfit.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Is Elba the new Fassbender or something?

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

He will be soon enough.

Luke Evans please.

 

[ThePhantasm]

Usually I understand why people suggest Elba in various roles (like Bond) but I don't really see him as Batman / Bruce Wayne. It is pretty tedious when Elba gets suggested for every role ever with seemingly little thought put into it.

I have nothing against him, or Fassbender. It just gets to the point of overkill with them both.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I would cast Kate Upton...just as a scantily clothed conquest of Briuce's, just give the movie a bit of sex appeal

 

[Frodo]

For part one of a reboot this is who i'd cast

Batman/Bruce Wayne: Sam Witwer
Alfred Pennyworth : Ralph Fiennes
Leslie Thompkins : Helen Bohnam Carter
Lucius Fox : Jeffrey Wright
Lt Sarah Essen : Charlize Theron
Black Mask: Daniel Buran
Reaper : Peter Weller
Joe Chill : Robert Carlyle

I'd save Gordon for a sequel .
