[MadderMaximus]

Lukas Haas as Scarecrow's pretty inspired.

 

[Boom]

Bruce Wayne/Batman ... Christopher Abbott
Alfred Pennyworth ... Pip Torrens
Jim Gordon ... Ethan Hawke
Selina Kyle/Catwoman ... Gugu Mbatha-Raw
Harvey Dent/Two-Face ... Jack Huston
Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin ... Jonah Hill
Edward Nashton/Riddler ... Jimmi Simpson
Hugo Strange ... Andy Serkis
The Joker ... Caleb Landry Jones

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Sean Connery would've made an excellent Alfred back in the day; it's a shame Warners never considered him for the role. Then again, he'd sooner jump off a cliff than affect a posh accent.

 

[Eddie Dean]

He would have been Ducard / Ra’s if Batman Begins was made in the 80s.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

He would have been Ducard / Ra’s if Batman Begins was made in the 80s.

Legion's Navid Negahban should play him now.

[Sawyer]

Not a single Aunt Harriet casting? You can all go straight to hell!

 

[Eddie Dean]

Tyler Perry - Aunt Harriet

 

[Boy Scout]

There’s a part of me that wouldn’t mind seeing him play Lucius Fox. Gone Girl proved to me that he’s more than just a comedic actor.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I think he could do it.

Stellar cast!

 

[David H.]

Or maybe Tilda as Alfred...

 

[Eddie Dean]

I'd make Ralph Fiennes Alfred (dancing Alfred) and move Stuhlbarg to Penguin or Riddler. Matthias Schoenaerts as Azrael.

 

[David H.]

I thought of Fiennes as Hugo Strange but I had to have Mr. Perlman as Alfred.

 

[MadderMaximus]

Yes! More support for Ed as Freeze!

 

[Sawyer]

Alfred Pennyworth - Mark Rylance

Jim Gordon - Kyle Chandler

Leslie Thompkins - Julianne Moore OR Jamie Lee Curtis

 

[Boom]

Or maybe Tilda as Alfred...

Slightly off topic but I watched Suspiria the other weekend and I'm confused as to why exactly they did that with Tilda. It served zero purpose from what I could tell.

Not a whole lot to change there! Great cast.

 

[Aximili86]

McBride as Bullock is pretty funny. I could get on board with that for ****s & giggles.

Logue is so damn perfect on Gotham, frankly it's gonna be hard to get used to a potential film version for me after that take. McKenzie's pretty rad as Gordon too, that finale ep should be pretty funny 10 years later, hope they go full-on glasses-and-mustache classic with the dude.

 

[Mandon Knight]

Rylance would be an incredible Alfred, good pick
