[ЯɘvlveR]

apparently gosling saved some chick from getting hit by a car here in new york.

And a real hero...

 

[Eddie Dean]

Lol!

 

[Rodrigo90]

I saved my grandma from choking on several occasions and ratted out some drug dealers at my old school, I'm a real hero!

 

[Rodrigo90]

Can Sean Bean do an American accent?

Sean Bean does a pretty bad American accent. Watch Silent Hill. Terrific actor though

 

[Eddie Dean]

I saved my grandma from choking on several occasions and ratted out some drug dealers at my old school, I'm a real hero!

But are you a real human being?

 

[Rodrigo90]

But are you a real human being?

I think so

It depends what drugs they were selling.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I saved them from becoming potheads lol

 

[Eddie Dean]

Now I want to see The Adventures of Batman: Junior Narc!

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I saved them from becoming potheads lol

Have they thanked you lately?

Because of you they're all doctors and lawyers with supermodel wives today? Right?

 

[MarvelKnight]

I think Clive Owen could give a pretty interesting take on Bruce Wayne..

I did what any decent person would have done, I cut off schoolkids chances of coping with puberty and homework. I'm a guy of morals

 

[Rodrigo90]

I saw him in The Crying Game the other night. How about Stephen Rea for Alfred?

 

[Roose Bolton]

In 5-10 years I could see it.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I think Jonathan Pryce would be good as well.

For Penguin, I definitely think Toby Jones would do an excellent job. You don't even need make-up for that guy lol.

 

[Hotwire]

Sean Bean as Gordon.

Mother of God.

But then he would die in the first film.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Thus setting up a tragedy that spans an entire series of films

 

[Rodrigo90]

As for Batman?

I mentioned him before. Robert Kazinsky.

He is a star talent. He rose from Eastenders to Hollywood, where Michelle Ryan, like him from EE, failed down the road. I honestly wished he never dropped from The Hobbit, because that would have jetted him further forward. Peter Jackson was very impressed by him, and even George Lucas. He's in Pacific Rim next year, impressing Guillermo del Toro even. Now if you've seen him in EE, you'll know his talent, he's a great actor, he can range from charming, sympathetic, to psychopathic, the kind of qualities which get looked for in an actor for Batman. He's a one to watch out for

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

bats with a soul patch? count me in.

 

[Boom]

Is Ghassan Massoud a good actor? I know he's in Kingdom of Heaven, but it's been years since I've since it and I honestly can't remember.

If so, he's a dead-ringer for Ra's al Ghul.

 

[TX85]

Jim Caviezel as Bruce Wayne/Batman

John Clesse as Alfred Pennyworth

Sam Elliot as Commissioner James Gordon

Paul Bettany as Edward Nigma/The Riddler

Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin

Ali Larter as Vickie Vale

 

[Rodrigo90]

Keanu Reeves for Mr. Freeze!

 

[flickchick85]

I've noticed a few people lamenting that Tom Hardy would have been an awesome Batman if he weren't Bane, so (if they don't go for my preference of an older Batman) what about his American doppelganger Logan Marshall-Green (Prometheus)?

He may not be the acting force of nature that Tom Hardy is, but he seems pretty good from what I've seen and I know he's gotten some acclaim/awards for his stage work. He's definitely got a naturally "dark" look about him:

And he's got a pretty good voice for it too, imo.

 

[Project862006]

hey thats tom hardy's doppelganger

he should be the lead in mass effect going off Prometheus trailers lol

I've always mostly loved older Bruce/Batman in the comics when middle aged to early 50's and then 70's in Batman Beyond,I also prefer this on film and is one reason I liked the casting choices in B'89 to B&R,Keaton/Kilmer&Clooney were all in their late 30's/early 40's!!!
