Justice League The Batman Casting/Discussion Thread

[Rowsdower!]

Fassbender would be great, but yes... he is suggested for everything and since he's already Magneto, that probably rules him out.

I like Joe M., but not necessarily for Batman. He'd make an amazing Hawkman though.

Mount is great, but he might look just a little too old now. Guy is in great shape though and is great at playing dark, conflicted characters so I'd be happy if he was cast.

Can't see it with Bomer... I just don't think he could convey the necessary amount of inner darkness. He seems like he'd make a better Kyle Raynor or Wally West to me.

I still love the idea of Gosling, though it probably won't happen.

I like Luke Evans for the role; haven't seen him in much yet but I think he could pull it off. He has a lot of presence.

I like Karl Urban, but I still think Dredd was a cheap pile of overrated crap. It was basically just The Raid with a weaker story, crappy fight scenes and a stupid looking helmet.

All in all though, I have to say I agree with Shauner here that it's tough to envision anyone but Bale as Batman right now. I'm not saying that someone else out there couldn't be just as good or even better... it's just hard to imagine anyone else that could fit the role so well.

A few other names worth considering though:

Rupert Friend
Richard Madden
James Badge Dale (yeah, I know he was just in IM3, but so what)
Tom Weston Jones
Sullivan Stapleton

Liam McIntyre(Spartacus) wouldn't be bad he is only 31

 

[MrMaooz]

Armie Hammer

 

[Rorschach2012]

maybe as Aquaman. Look at the box office of Lone Ranger, he probably won't be headlining any massive franchises any time soon

 

[Matt.S99]

If he was still alive, I would have been totally onboard for Andy Whitfield as Batman.

 

[MrMaooz]

Nicolas Cage

 

[Eddie Dean]

Cage is Superman.

That would have been amazing to see, I've always thought he would have made a good Batman or even Namor for that matter. He was gone too soon.

 

[MrMaooz]

Cage is Superman.

Alright then, how about Javier Bardem?

He was my gambit choice.

james franco.


what is it that people don't like about him?

i think he's got the face and the voice to be bruce wayne and he's played brooding before. [YT]QjdvK8IEv3A[/YT]

I cant see it. Hes better suited as a villain, he always looks as if hes on drugs with his acting.

he looks like he suffers from insomnia at times, but batman don't sleep. so I'd say that look is a good thing.

 

[MrMaooz]

If he's Batman then it'll be like B&R except it'll be a stoner comedy.

 

[shauner111]

There's no way I can take anybody from This Is The End seriously from now on.

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

poor guy's been nominated for an oscar and all some will ever see him as is a stoner. i think he's about as ideal physically as you can get to pair up with cavill's superman.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Ok. We keep suggesting Cavill's girlfriends and previous co-stars for roles...why not his family?

 

[N7 Joseph Shepard]

got bored at work......dont kill me for this lol

Spoiler

I'm joking I'm joking.....not that I made that at work....cause I did....but him actually being my pick, that I'm joking

 

[Rodrigo90]

Burn it

 

[ThePhantasm]

Wait... Cavill was in Tristan and Isolde? How did I not notice?

 

[N7 Joseph Shepard]

Burn it

nah, ended up rolling it up and started beating a co-worker with it when they said that PeeWee Herman should play Batman

 

[Rodrigo90]

Mad Hatter for Paul

 

[MrMaooz]

Idk

 

[Rowsdower!]

His hair was so horrifying that you probably repressed the memory.

Also, regarding the Franco suggestion... I like him but definitely not for Bruce Wayne. He might be able to pull it off but for some reason, when he doesn't work in a role, he sticks out like a sore thumb. I wouldn't want to take that chance.

 

[metaphysician]

My own preference: Richard Madden if your going for a younger Bruce Wayne/Batman, Karl Urban if your going for an older, more experienced one.
