Zachary Quinto...I never would have thought of that...I love it.

 

[EliteF50]

Urban and Lincoln would make fantastic Batmen. Age isn't really an issue, they're both athletic enough. Hugh Jackman has been doing Wolverine for 14 years, he's now 44 and still going at it. Robert Downey Jr. is 47, he began playing Iron Man at 42.

 

[Rodrigo90]

That's true.
But you'd be asking a 45 and 46 year old to commit to potentially 10 years or longer. Pushing 60 by the end, unlike Jackman and RDJ, they cant go on forever., and it wouldn't be pretty if they did lol

I don't know how that would go down.

 

[Sub-Zero]

since everyone is randomly naming actors i'll say vince vaughn for batman.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Ben Stiller as Robin
Jerry Stiller as Alfred
Owen Wilson as The Joker
Snoop Dogg as Lucius Fox
Christine Taylor as Harley Quinn
Justin Long as The Riddler
Stephen Root as The Penguin

That's fine. Perhaps a role villain then? I was thinking Two-Face Lol

yeah man haha he's growing on me though i hope that didnt come across like i was having a go at your choice, your reasoning was sound enough but for a while i really didnt like him but yeah maybe as black mask or something

 

[Rodrigo90]

He's a good actor, I'll admit a bit smarmy lol
Im just surprised at how far he's come from Eastenders! Look at Michelle Ryan, poor cow lol

He might not be quite right for Batman, but certainly for a villain
If he improves in the future perhaps even Joker. He did give crazy and evil performances as Sean. Making Gus thinking he ate the dog

 

[spidergeek232]

Definitely liking Quinto, Rickman, and Biehn.

I still stick to my top 5 contenders:

-Lee Pace
-Sam Witwer
-Joel Edgerton
-Alex O'Loughlin
-Armie Hammer

 

[Enriquespy]

Quinto? Rickman?... Yes.


How about Leo Dicaprio for two face?

I know, I know...

 

[Rodrigo90]

With that voice?

 

[Eddie Dean]

Leo's voice is perfect for Two-Face. He's always screaming!

 

[Rocanrol]

Joaquin Phoenix as two-face.

Loved the Zachary Quinto suggestion as Batman!

 

[Rodrigo90]

Leo's voice is perfect for Two-Face. He's always screaming!

And sounding like a baby screaming for his bottle lol

 

[Marx]

Zachary as Batman?

 

[hellblazer103]

Ben Stiller as Robin
Jerry Stiller as Alfred
Owen Wilson as The Joker
Snoop Dogg as Lucius Fox
Christine Taylor as Harley Quinn
Justin Long as The Riddler
Stephen Root as The Penguin

best. movie. evah.

" bruce wizzle, it's the L-U-C-I-U-S fizzle, here to hook you up wit da best technoligizzle"

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Not gonna lie, I'd watch the sh** out of Steven root as the penguin.

ben whishaw, the guy who played Q in skyfall ? i could totally see him as riddler. infact i was thinking that when i first saw that movie.

pretty good casting overall, love the idea of rooney mara/paul bettany. still iffy on ryan gosling being suggested for every damn comic character on the planet nowadays. i've even seen him suggested for john constantine....blech.
