The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 2

[I Am Jack's...]

Joel Kinnaman could be a good candidate for Batman.

 

[OptimusPrime114]

Probably already posted this, but Alexandra Breckinridge would make an awesome Poison Ivy:

Who is she?

 

[flickchick85]

Who is she?

She's the maid from American Horror Story. I dunno about Poison Ivy, but she might be a decent Mary Jane Watson.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

i want to see Dexter himself, Michael C Hall, play a villain in the new franchise. i can definitely see him playing either Ed Nygma/Riddler or Kurt Langstrom/Man-Bat.

 

[aNarcHy2day]

Michael C. Hall for Daredevil!!!

But that's for another thread!

 

[Rockstar]

Dexter is pretty obvious for a villain role in this franchise.

I'm not opposed to seeing him play something else though.


Kinnaman wouldn't be bad. I've suggested him before, but he needs to work on his accent and delivery. I've seen all the episodes of The Killing now. His voice would need some work for the role but he has some potential.

 

[Project862006]

^huh

if i did'nt already knew he was Swedish i would of pegged him as american

 

[Boom]

Joel Kinnaman could be a good candidate for Batman.

I'd be onboard with this .

 

[Boy Scout]

Joel Kinnaman could be a good candidate for Batman.

Like his look.

I could see him as Batman, actually.

Kinnaman already will be donning a cowl-like helmet for Robocop. We'll see how that jaw looks.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Kinnaman looks like a slightly less raty Mackenzie Crook IMO

 

[combocaz]

Karl Urban - batman

 

[dutchmarvel]

Matthew Goode http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0328828/ as The Riddle

Drew Barrymore as Harley Quinn

John Cena http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1078479/ as The Joker. First iam thinking about Marc Whalberg as best follow up.

 

[I Am Jack's...]

I do hope Robocop turns out well. The cast is good, and hopefully Kinnaman delivers in the role and gets good praise. With some luck maybe it could put him on WB's radar.

Anyway, these are some suggestions:

Joel Kinnaman as Batman

Bill Nighy as Alfred

Kurt Russell as Commissioner Gordon

Giancarlo Esposito as Lucius Fox

Sharlto Copley as Joker

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Harvey Dent

Charles Dance as Mr. Freeze

Sean Bean as Ra's Al Ghul

Jeremy Davies as Scarecrow (saw this suggested before, love it)

 

[shauner111]

It's really too bad we couldn't see Michael C Hall and Bale square off. But for the reboot he would be fantastic as the Riddler. Dont care if it was one of those over suggested picks from a couple years ago. He would be perfect. He'd be able to go right into it after Dexters final season wraps up.

 

[OptimusPrime114]

Because the GCPD needs some love...

James Gordon - Mark Harmon

Renee Montoya - Michelle Rodriguez

Crispus Allen - Jesse L. Martin

Sarah Essen-Gordon - Julianne Moore

Harvey Bullock - Michael Madsen

 

[Rowsdower!]

John Cena http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1078479/ as The Joker. First iam thinking about Marc Whalberg as best follow up.

Is the Joker going to be roided out of his mind?

 

[Majik1387]

Well this thread took an awful, awful, turn.

 

[The Guard]

Renee Montoya - Michelle Rodriguez

This. I've always wanted Rene Montoya to be played by a terrible actress.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Just watched this awesome film called London Boulevard. After watching it, I think I have to double down on my earlier suggestion about Colin Farrell playing Batman. He's a powerhouse in this film; badass as hell but never over the top. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.

Also, Ray Winstone (who is also in this movie) would make an awesome Rupert Thorne.

 

[returntovoid]

I want to see Pierce Brosnan as Alfred.

Inspired casting. By the time of the reboot, he will be old enough to play Alfred.

 

[The Strategos]

Just an idea but before picking actors/actresses what kind of a movie would anybody like next? What kind of Batman, whether he has any help who are the villains and how should they be played?

 

[The Vafrous]

I'd actually like to see a movie where both Deatshtroke and Deadshot (or any other mercs from the comics) are hired by rival gangs to eliminate the competition (Falcone vs Maroni vs Thorne vs Sionis). Something like that, where its creates some sort of three way conflict between the two villains, as well as Batman. I was actually working on a fanfic that was similar to this idea a few years ago...

 

[Changeling]

No thanks, let's save Deathstroke for a Teen Titans or Green Arrow movie. The villains i would want to see in a reboot trilogy would be: Dr. Hugo Strange, Mr. Freeze, Clayface, Penguin, Rupert Thorne, Mad Hatter, Riddler, Killer Croc & Joker.

 

[Changeling]

From Gary Oldman to Mark Harmon would be hilarious. I don't at all like Kinnaman's look for Batman, he looks nothing like him.... He looks like Aquaman or Green Arrow... What are you guys seeing?!
