The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 2

[TheWatcher]

Not in the first movie but The Joker is essential to Batman.

I want to see a whole city of freaks, stop limiting it to one or two villians per film.

Me too and thats part of the reason why I just want to be dropped into Gothem rather than build it up again, again and again. I want a community of villains so there almost a run down about who did it.

"Its your turn" is starting to get really boring in these movies. Do we really think the Joker will wait his turn while Dum and Dee go?

Agreed. Imagine how cool it would be to see characters like The Riddler, The Penguin, Catwoman, Black Mask, etc, have a constant presence and continuous development.

I would love that myself, that's why i want it to be like Arkham City. All kinds of freaks on the loose. But im talking main villains. Characters that WB would market, 1 or 2 villains. The others can have supporting roles or cameos until they do more of that in a sequel or they're expanded upon. The supporting villains can be kept quiet, a secret for some.

But a movie where Penguin is the main baddie and he's promoted as such is where i want it to go. Same with Freeze.

One villain per movie, with a ton of freaks surrounding the city at all times.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Stephen Lang would make a pretty great Gordon in a normal Batman movie too.

 

[kirbyfan]

What I want is the DC comic book version of Batman, the only place you get the real Batman is in the comics and in the animated films, the live action versions haven't done the comic book version yet?

I don't want some director's personal version of Batman, I want the DC comic book version! Bring the comicbook to life!

The resemblance is uncanny

 

[Rodrigo90]

Bloody hell

 

[Panthro]

The resemblance is uncanny

Aye, verily.

 

[DaveMoral]

Holy ****! That's straight up a live action Arkham Asylum/City Jim Gordon!

I'd go with Joker as a Hannibal Lecter type allie that Batman is forced to work with in order to profile and catch the Riddler. I personally wouldn't want to hold off Nolan style on the big guns. I'd prefer they go with the big guns to further establish that there's a new status quo. However I'd still like to see the appearance of characters like Hugo Strange, which haven't been used yet, even if they aren't the main baddies. I'd also keep also add a supporting cast of characters which have not been used yet for this series.

The Batman

Batman/Bruce Wayne: Josh Henderson
Joker : Brad Pitt
Riddler/ Edward Nygma : Benedict Cumberbatch
Roman Sionis : Rufus Sewell , Bruce Wayne's revival and Riddler's target
Detective Ellen Yin : Michelle Krusiec
James Gordon : Jude Law
Alfred Pennyworth : Geoffrey Rush
Dr. Leslie Thompkins : Helen Mirren as sort of a mother figuare to Bruce
Police profiler Hugo Strange : Michael Emerson
Harleen Quinzel : Jessica Chastain

Kevin Porter is the absolute perfect Batman.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Real actors please.

 

[gzilla46]

I'm sorry, but I don't want a Batman reboot. I think Batman should be given a rest from the big screen. Let Superman take a shot at the spotlight, like he will next year.

 

[shauner111]

But it's going to happen regardless of what some people want, so this is about casting said reboot.

The resemblance is uncanny

Yeah that IS insane. They must get Cranston but with a AC direction, im now sold on Lang. Also that Bat-suit should be the suit for the reboot.

Well, if I have to, then I think maybe Toby Maguire should play Robin if he will appear in the film.

 

[shauner111]

Oh god no. Too old. And the jokes and comparisons to Spidey will never end if that happened. They need someone younger and i personally would wait a while to bring Grayson into it. They could get away with a few movies without him.

Best time to bring Robin back, the more comic accurate Robin, is down the road when they've brought Joker back. Just my opinion. Because it should be enough for a while to be mixing Batman with the likes of Superman , etc. Let the team-up stuff with Batman happen in JLA, while his solo movies are just that..."solo" movies.

 

[KingMadness]

Kevin Porter is a real actor, producer and director, get your fact straight. He can do Batman better than most right now.

Sean Faris for Dick Grayson
Josh Hutcherson for Tim Drake

Did you want Big Ben Ryan for Captain America too?

 

[stitchlips97]

does anyone else think a younger Harrison Ford could play Gordon?
