The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 4

[Spike014]

How about Jensen Ackles as Batman?

 

[Sebastos]

Lol, there isn't even a top five.

 

[regwec]

Yes. Damn Jim Belushi.

 

[metaphysician]

How about Jensen Ackles as Batman?

I like him, but casting him as a grim avenger seems to miss the point. He'd work better in a role where he can snark it up.

 

[Rorschach2012]

How about Jensen Ackles as Batman?

How about we give up on the Batman franchise while were at it.

 

[Donnie Darko]

I don't like Marsden as Batman, but I could buy him as Hal Jordan if they recast there.

 

[DeGenerate10]

 

[Boom]

I'd be down for that.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I dunno if i would. The acting on TWD isnt the strong point its the story

 

[royalopez06]

Ashton Kutcher

or

 

[elgaz]

Ashton Kutcher

or

I think I just peed a little.

I'm all for thinking outside the box, but ................. no. Neither Kutcher or Tatum could follow in Bale's footsteps.

 

[regwec]

I really don't want a baby-faced Batman. I know Bruce Wayne is supposed to be handsome, but I associate him with the old-school, Cary Grant kind of handsome. I really don't think he is supposed to look like one of Demi Moore's toyboys.

 

[regwec]

Late 30s seems fine to me, but I don't object to an older Batman, nor do I object to Robin.

 

[Micromind]

James Marsden for Batman. He has the required charisma, height and acting talent.

He can look good as rich playboy Bruce and tough Batman.

He is not in the current X-men Days of the Future Past movie and even if he returns as Cyclops he looks different enough there, so he would look different as Batman / Bruce Wayne.

 

[Rorschach2012]

James Marsden, Channing Tatum, and Ashton Kutcher are absolutely terrible ideas. What are you people smoking

He's not fierce or intimidating enough.

And Ashton Kutcher? Seriously?

[Donnie Darko]

hey, if internet chatter is to be believed, about ten years ago, WB was pushing hard for Ashton Kutcher as Batman, and basically gave Nolan a deadline to find an actor of his choice that they would approve of over Kutcher, a "Kutcher Killer," as we were calling it.

 

[regwec]

Hellblazer, although I entirely endorse your sentiments, it might be better to take that down so that you can evade an infraction for flaming.

My top Batman choices


Anson mount

Richard Armitage

Sam witwer

 

[terry78]

Mount's premature gray notwithstanding, he does have the face for it.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Bahahahahahahaha thats basically what I wanted to say too. But you had the balls to say it ahaha.

Richard Armitage is too ugly for Batman. Face it. He could pull it off though for sure, and acting is more important than looks, but he does not come off as a handsome billionaire playboy at all. Way too smack.

Anson Mount is my top choice as well

Sam Witwer is not a good enough actor for Batman even though he could look the part. Basically the opposite problem of Richard Armitage

 

[Rorschach2012]

Anson Mount as Batman

Pierce Brosnan as Alfred

Bryan Cranston as Jim Gordon

Viggo Mortensen as Mr. Freeze

Christoph Waltz as Hugo Strange

 

[regwec]

Apart from frowning a lot and having a silly name, what about 'Mount' (heh) recommends him to play Batman?

I can't imagine Alfred with an Oirish accent, incidentally.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

i like James Marsden, but i think he's better suited for Green Lantern
