The All New and Improved Batman Reboot Casting Thread

[Lithium]

A Zach Galifianakis comeback starting with Harvey Bullock?

 

[Lautox]

too much akward energy for bullock

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

I’d accept him as Condiment King, but not Harvey Bullock.

 

[Lautox]

If Bullock were in the sequel he'd have a very small role like Martinez plus I doubt they would name him Bullock since we just saw him in the Gotham show

 

[shauner111]

I doubt that show affects any decision making with these movies.

Rob's favorite dc villain

 

[Lautox]

I got a new one, Stephen Graham as Zucco

 

[Sawyer]

Well, it looks like my number one choice for Rupert Thorne is in the next Joker.

Though, considering Zazie Beetz was up for Catwoman even after the first Joker, I guess I shouldn’t count Gleason out.

 

[WatchProtect]

Dan Aykroyd as Zucco

Vince Vaughn or Brendan Fraser could be good too

daniel kaluuya - harvey dent
Michael wincott - dr hugo strange

 

[Sawyer]

Michael wincott - dr hugo strange

Patient: I feel like a little worm on a big ****in hook!

Strange: “I feel like a little worm on a big ****in hook!” Well, boy, your momma must be damn proud of you!

 

[Lautox]

daniel kaluuya - harvey dent
Michael wincott - dr hugo strange

Nope

 

[Eddie Dean]

That’s correct

 

[Airwings]

Dan Aykroyd as Zucco

That was a very special suggestion

We shouldn't forget the veterans.

 

[The Vafrous]

Michael Wincott as Strange is some top tier casting. Nice one.

 

[Art Vandelay]

Looking at his IMDb, Wincott doesn't seem to have done much in the past few years. Probably not enough for a C-list actor to get a major role like Strange.

 

[Eddie Dean]

He was just in Nope you silly goose.

 

[Lautox]

He is someone that Zack Znyder would cast for Hugo but not Matt. Its not a bad choice don't get me wrong but I don't see it.

 

[Art Vandelay]

I can only assume he's a buddy of Peele's, because his work has been pretty sporadic, mostly in television, and nothing terribly noteworthy. He also doesn't appear to have any projects slated for the future. At any rare, he's not an actor you cast in such a major role. At best he'd play a Gil Coulson level character, and even then, Sarsgaard is on a tier above Wincott as an actor.

 

[Lautox]

Or just an Arkham prisoner in a show

 

[Lautox]

My top pick for Strange is still Hugh Grant

How does it feel to have such a little imagination? Or knowledge of 90s films?

 

[Eddie Dean]

and who said Hugo Strange is a major role?

 

[Art Vandelay]

Well, when you have him playing a known Batman villain, I'd just assume the role is major. Certainly not "Cop No.3".

And sorry if I lack "imagination". I just find the choice a bit unusual. Like when people wanted Crispin Glover as Joker back in the day, it's less about talent and more "Hey, you know who was once an actor? Michael Wincott!".
