The ‘Batman’ Casting Thread

[Rodrigo90]

Richard Madden for Bats

I know he gets compared with Cavil...but think ahead. 6 years, time will change that. Batman is never going to share a film with Superman at this rate, so Madden and Cavil are never going to be together onscreen which won't be weird. Bruce and Clark look like each other in the comics anyway.

So bottom line...it doesn't matter if they lookalike or not.
Madden is a gifted and growing actor and it would be great to see him considered for Batman.

Alan Ford as Penguin

he's the guy talking about feeding people to pigs (snatch trailer)

 

[Rodrigo90]

Why is it everytime I say this stuff Justice League and Bale are mentioned just minutes later? Lol

 

[Infinity9999x]

Edit. Wrong thread.

 

[RustyCage]

Matthew Goode was amazing in Stoker - Batman?

I can also see him as The Riddler.

Riddler? That would probably be great.

He doesn't exude a very Batman/Bruce Wayne presence to me though.

I could also see him doing Black Mask.

doug jones, to me, just SCREAMS tim sale/jeph loeb riddler :



other choices for an "older/creepier " riddler :




(although he could be joker too, he was fantastic in the dark knight returns )

for a younger/computer hacker type of style :






for something in the middle (ideal for me ) :







speaking of riddler, any fans of riddler or the joker blogs fan series on youtube might be interested in checking out my friend's "riddler blogs " videos that he's been working on , a spinoff to the joker blogs and also sort of his own take on the riddler's origin : http://www.youtube.com/user/AttemptedMedai?feature=watch

here i was thinking i was the only one who thought tom waits was perfect for mad hatter. lol

call me crazy, but ummm... how about taylor momsen for harley quinn ?

 

[Rodrigo90]

Momsen isn't really Harley material to me. She's just too serious and oddly miareable all the time. No fun qualities at all.

Sexy as hell tho

oh, without a shred of a doubt

i think she could pull it off given the opportunity. i believe she might've quit acting though.

the best possible choice would've been brittany murphy, who's unfortunately, like heath ledger, dead .

oh, what could've been...

 

[Rodrigo90]

Bless both their hearts

 

[Rodrigo90]

No way is he strong enough for film, but NPH would've made agreat Riddler for a TV show

 

[Sharkboy]

I'm pretty stumped for Batman casting, but Bryan Cranston for Jim Gordon every single damn time, he's already played the role before so that's half the work done.

 

[Rodrigo90]

It'll be Gary Oldman again if Bale returns. Not that I'm against it
...but Cranston

 

[Sharkboy]

It'll be Gary Oldman again if Bale returns. Not that I'm against it
...but Cranston

It was my understanding that if Bale returned it would be purely for a team up movie not an individual affair. If we are casting an actual reboot or just a whole new cast then I've yet to see a better choice than Cranston.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

In the casting thread over in dc misc. film seciton somebody suggested Zachary Quinto for batman...I love it lol.

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

here i was thinking i was the only one who thought tom waits was perfect for mad hatter. lol

Make a great Black Cat in an "Amazing Spider-Man" sequel but no.

 

[Double B]

Brittany as Harley just feels it would have been one of those 'born to play' castings to me. Yes, it would be obvious as hell but she just was that role.

Sigh.

 

[hellblazer103]

hmm.... now i know i said i'm tired of seeing ryan gosling being casted for EVERYTHING (and i still am), but i finally got around to watching drive and he does seem to have pretty good chemistry with our chosen gordon, bryan cranston...

 

[Rodrigo90]

Aaron Paul would make for an awesome Riddler. He has that perfect blend of maturity and crazy edginess that Riddler needs

 

[Rodrigo90]

I also think Ralph Fiennes would make the perfect Mr. Freeze. Reason being, he can be very intimidating. He can give a cold performance, but he has this vibe where you would feel sorry for him. It's natural with Fiennes.There is this pitiful and likeable feel about him. Less Voldermort and more Red Dragon performance.

i'd love to see this. someone suggested him for alfred in another thread and i didn't really see it ... lol

Alan Ford as Penguin

he's the guy talking about feeding people to pigs (snatch trailer)

i could possibly see this working, but an actor from other particular british gangster flicks that i'd love to see as the penguin would be jamie foreman ( played the duke in layer cake and lennie taylor in gangster no. 1 )


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8BZl58jfyw

although i'm pretty sure i've suggested him for the role somewhere else in this thread, or another thread that i can't remember.

( i love how he happens to be talking to david thewlis in that scene, whom i previously suggested for the riddler. and, of course, paul bettany , who i suggested for the joker, is in the scene as well )

Aaron Paul would make for an awesome Riddler. He has that perfect blend of maturity and crazy edginess that Riddler needs

when i first watched him in breaking bad he gave me a "chris o'donell as robin " feel, although better acted and less annoying of course . i see him as more of a "young talented actor who could really do some unexpectedly great work with the joker role like heath ledger did " type but i wouldn't mind seeing him as the riddler as well.

 

[Donnie Darko]

ughh anna kendrick is hideous!

I'm new to this thread, but I have to say that this is one of the most ridiculous things ever on the Hype.

Great cast. My favorites are Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, Freeze, Two- Face, and Mad Hatter. Great cast all around though. Only ones i don't like are your Batman & Alfred

 

[Rodrigo90]

He is the perfect Penguin lol
