The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 3

[the last son]

Adrian Brody for Joker I'm going to have to say no to. I seriously don't see how this guy keeps getting work. He's been terrible in every movie I've ever seen him in and can't act.

Also, going to have to give a big no for Thorton. Nothing about him in my opinion screams Gordon. It seems like most of his roles he just wakes up out of bed and says whatever let's do this. You can't go from Oldman to Thorton.

 

[Rocketman]

Jonathan Hyde for Alfred

You know him from:

The Mummy
Titanic
Anaconda
Jumanji

 

[Rodrigo90]

Good resume there. He served as a butler to the Rich family as well

 

[TheWatcher]

I'm starting to like the idea of Sam Witwer as Batman.

 

[batman_1989_]

Just get Jon Hamm!He's the only one who could play a seasoned Bats.

 

[OptimusPrime114]

I agree. The reason he didn't want to play Superman was because he felt he was too old.

But as far as a seasoned, experienced Batman goes, he's perfect.

 

[Naked Shia]

Sean Connery as Alfred!

 

[Changeling]

Now thats an idea... I thought he retired though.

But yeah Jon Hamm is still the best choice for a seasoned Batman. For sure

Id choose Anson Mount if I couldnt get Hamm

 

[shauner111]

Connery retired?

Hamm as a seasoned Batman anytime in the next 10 years please. Then he's good for a Dark Knight Returns adaptation after that.

 

[Changeling]

I think Connery retired after League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

 

[Homer J. Fong]

^He did indeed. He said he thought about coming out of it just to do Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, that if anything could have pulled him out of it it was another one of those, but as we know, he didn't. He did lend his voice to the From Russia with Love video game a few years ago, but that's not really the same.

 

[Changeling]

That From Russia With Love game was so fun. I enjoyed it more than the movie

[ЯɘvlveR]

i like it.

 

[Changeling]

I love it. Giancarlo Esposito as Lucius is brilliant

 

[Changeling]

I want to see a balding Alfred with facial hair. Kingsley is so perfect for that even though hes the Mandarin

 

[TheWatcher]

I can dig it man.

Here is some info. about Armie Hammer being considered again for Batman in JL, but that it could be a separate Batman from the reboot solo movie:

[ЯɘvlveR]

armie was my fav for superman, not sure about batman. although I'm not against it even if he's probably a half foot taller then cavill.

 

[Willi Berg]

armie was my fav for superman, not sure about batman. although I'm not against it even if he's probably a half foot taller then cavill.

I don't mind if Batman is taller than Superman. And Hammer is only a few inches taller. And we aren't even certain if Cavill will even appear in the JL movie. If he does, I don't think it will be disconcerting or anything.

 

[BestGirl]

Axelbratoski, wonderful cast, but Bryan Cranston should be Gordon.

 

[retro27]

I like Cranston as Gordon.. but I think you could make an argument that he would also make a good Two-Face.

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

I don't mind if Batman is taller than Superman. And Hammer is only a few inches taller. And we aren't even certain if Cavill will even appear in the JL movie. If he does, I don't think it will be disconcerting or anything.

cavill not being in jl would be disappointing.

 

[TheWatcher]

And ridiculously stupid.
