The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5

[spidergeek232]

Ezra has got some serious acting chops. I could see him as Jason after seeing We Need To Talk About Kevin.

He's a little too young for the Joker.

I think Andrew Lincoln would be a great choice for Bruce Wayne/Bats and like others have pointed out, he would just have to bulk up for the role and get the American accent right. After spending years doing his Southern accent though on The Walking Dead, it would be hard moving to a different accent for him but being an actor, I'm sure he can figure it out.
You can just imagine Bruce going to some sort of event here in this pic.

Good choice, I wouldn't argue too much if they went with Lincoln as Bruce

Goyer said Bruce wasn't Batman during MOS. Bruce was a vigilante though.

So what we're getting is sort of the Keaton treatment. A Bruce Wayne who is in his 30's when he becomes Batman. I'm assuming this because Clark is 33 in MOS, and we know Bruce is a few years older.

So I'm thinking an actor in perhaps his early to mid 30's will be chosen. Late 30's is a possibility, but an actor around 40 or over might not happen.

I haven't seen MOS and didn't know about the age thing so thanks for informing us about that. I guess no-one in their late 30s now would be picked as by the time it comes to filming, they may already be too old (which means no Lincoln I guess ).

It's not set in stone that Bruce has to be older than Clark

 

[Rodrigo90]

I think for dynamics sake, they should be around the same age, Cavill and the actor portraying Batman.

Spencer Conway

 

[regwec]

Have to admit, I have never heard of him.

 

[EliteF50]

He looks more like Superman, imo.

Yeah, very boy-scoutish.

That picture of Spencer Conway makes me immediately think of Bruce from the later episodes of TAS. I've never heard of him, though.

I don't see that at all. He looks more like Superman. I think the guy that looks the most like the later episodes of TAS would be Jon Hamm

 

[EliteF50]

Is he even an actor? All I'm seeing for Spencer Conway is petitions for him to play Superman.

 

[Majik1387]

He's a stage actor, yes.

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

he looks like the ******* from beauty and the beast.

 

[sahin]

How about Stanley Weber?

 

[spiderral]

He's probably already been mentioned here before but what are everyone's thoughts on Michael Fassbender? After watching him in X-Men: First Class, I thought he was great but he looks a little like Christian Bale to me and I'd rather they just cast an actor who didn't look similar in physical appearance.

 

[Rorschach2012]

He's been mentioned quite a lot. He's my favorite for the role.

This picture really sold me

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

alot of people are on the fasswagon.

 

[Majik1387]

Shame for those people the wagon isn't going anywhere besides the X-Men movies.

[terry78]

That Conway dude does look very superhero-ish.

[ЯɘvlveR]

fixed.

 

[Majik1387]

No, I'm definitely more Quinto.

 

[Sawyer]

Yeah, my post didn't need fixing.
