The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 1

[CConn]

That's because you gotta creep, creep.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Right then. Burt Ward for the Penguin...he's short and fat.

Here's another name I'll throw in for Gordon. John Hawkes?

 

[Eddie Dean]

I was thinking about a 60s' Batman cast and James Coburn would have made a killer Joker. I mean, look at that smile.

 

[CConn]

I'll see your James Coburn and raise you a Kevin Durand:

 

[EliteF50]

Tom would make a great Joker.

 

[Rockstar]

And he is the greatest joker of all, as Loki.

 

[CConn]

 

[Rodrigo90]

James Gandolfini as Det. Bullock

Michelle Rodriguez as Det. Montoya.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Hiddleston wouldve made a fantastic Joker.

Still going with Giuntoli for Bruce -

Anyways, I'm just hoping that they go with a more 'comic-book accurate' approach and embrace the source materal in favour of Nolan's hightened realism ala what Whedon has done with the Avengers. WB shouldnt be scared of the characters origins on the printed page - MARVEL has shown that you can achieve that without the need for camp or farce.

 

[CConn]

He looks like Spock.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Lol. I'd say that's just the hairstyle. Other than that, he looks nothing like Nimoy. Maybe there's a passing resemblance to Quinto, but if anything he looks alot more like Routh [ironically].

 

[CConn]

Yeah, I was thinking creepy lovechild of Quinto and Routh.

 

[Brian Braddock]

With a bit of Simon McCorkindale thrown in there for good measure.

 

[Eddie Dean]

You know who would work wonders as a young Gordon?

 

[Brian Braddock]

^^^Dave Mazzucchelli style.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Absolutely. His and Miller's take on Gordon might be my favourite in all Batman cannon.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Liking that idea a lot.

 

[Rodrigo90]

So everybody wants an older Batman and a younger Gordon?

That's odd.

 

[CConn]

Apparently everyone likes Daddies.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I just googled Daddies thinking it had something to do with Ewan McGregor or something and what I saw on images will haunt me forever!

 

[CConn]

Haha, that's awesome.

I'm sorry.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I'll never eat sausages again!!!

 

[Brian Braddock]

So everybody wants an older Batman and a younger Gordon?

That's odd.

Not everyone;

Giuntoli is 31 [my pick for Bruce] and McGregor [who I gave a thumbs up to seeing in the role after it was suggested on here] is 41.

 

[Changeling]

Cooper was once considered for Jim Gordon by Chris Nolan but he turned it down. Cavill, Mortonsen, Bean and Pearce are also other names that came close to landing a spot in Batman Begins.

Uhh nah you're getting Chris Cooper and Dominic Cooper confused,
