The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5

[Rorschach2012]

He could deliver the Conroy Batman for sure. Ryan Gosling and Luke Evans could do their own thing with Batman, but Manganiello could deliver the Conroy/Arkham Bats. I'm sure of it.

Joker: Walton Goggins

Glad I am not the only one who wants Walton Goggins as Joker. t:

 

[Sawyer]

Walt Goggins can do anything. He proved that this past season on Sons of Anarchy.

 

[Majik1387]

"I hope the hard work of that entire cast and crew amounts to absolute **** so I won't have to see Armie Hammer's name in my precious casting threads."

lol, oh Majik... you heartless bastard.

Spoiler

Well, there's more reasons than just that, but that reason relates specifically to this discussion.

But for real, I need to do an update for my casting selections.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Batman: Joe Manganiello

Robin (Dick Grayson): Logan Lerman

Alfred: Alan Rickman

Jim Gordon: Bryan Cranston

Catwoman: Diane Kruger

Joker: Walton Goggins

Harley Quinn: Jane Levy

Mr. Freeze: Stanley Tucci

Riddler: David Tennant

Hugo Strange: Christoph Waltz

such an awesome cast picks you made

 

[Rodrigo90]

I have a feeling Hawkman could appear in JL myself.

I'd reserve Joe for that role.

And regarding Luke Evans, has anybody seen him in No One Lives? I wasn't keen on his accent in the movie, but he has the potential for a good Bat voice. Not Conroy, but you know

 

[Sawyer]

Joe is Sabretooth. He can bridge the savagery and the monstrous size of Tyler Mane with how Liev Schreiber was actually playing a character.

 

[EliteF50]

Walton Goggins would make an awesome Scarecrow. I like the idea of Crane having a Southern accent. Implying he grew up somewhere that'd have actual scarecrows.

 

[Bruce Malone]

They have scarecrows in other parts of the country other than the south. I'd probably associate them with the mid-west more if anything.

 

[EliteF50]

And regarding Luke Evans, has anybody seen him in No One Lives? I wasn't keen on his accent in the movie, but he has the potential for a good Bat voice. Not Conroy, but you know

I've never seen it, but judging from the trailer, it looks terrible.

They have scarecrows in other parts of the country other than the south. I'd probably associate them with the mid-west more if anything.

Still, I love Goggins' accent in Justified. Would like to see it on Crane, haha.

 

[Rodrigo90]

It was lol

But it still showed that Evans would make a pretty decent Batman

You can watch it on YouTube.

 

[EliteF50]

Hm, might give it a watch then. Thanks for the heads up.

I agree, though. He'd make a sweet Batman.

 

[Gambit]

Luke Evans is the next Batman in my eyes

 

[EliteF50]

Have we ever seen Evans clean shaven?

 

[Rodrigo90]

Nope lol

 

[spidergeek232]

I heard Evans's American accent in No One Lives and it sounds pretty good. He definitely has the intensity to play Batman.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I agree there.

His American accent was good. I just didn't care much for his accent lol
What was it, Southern?

 

[EliteF50]

Alright, well... No One Lives is one of the worse movies I've EVER seen and actually made me change my mind about Evans as Batman. I don't want him anywhere near the Batman franchise after watching that, lol.

Also, it definitely wasn't a Southern accent. It was just a shoddy American accent.

 

[shauner111]

Why? was his acting bad?

 

[EliteF50]

He was the least of the movie's problems, but yes, his acting was bad. Especially the accent. I mean, I could maybe see him working as Batman with the right director, but if I had it my way, I definitely wouldn't cast him based off this movie.

The Raven and Fast 6 are probably better examples of his acting talent, I guess. But still...

 

[Dispatch Ninja]

Richard Madden is definitely my number 1 pick for batman. I just love this gif...

 

[Rodrigo90]

4 Madden

Ah...No One Lives. A terrible, terrible movie, that definitely does hinder the talents of 2 rising stars, Luke Evans and Adelaide Clements

However, while Evans was bad, but we know he's a good actor, the movie did demonstrate that he can give a dark performance, which is the main thing.

So, upon watching that drivel and other things - does Evans have the potential to play Bruce Wayne AND Batman? The answer is obviously, yes

 

[Blake II]

I still think rebooting Batman so soon is going to be a bad idea.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Things can go either way really.

 

[Two-Face]

I still think rebooting Batman so soon is going to be a bad idea.

Would you like another director take over Nolanverse make it his own? Well I wouldn't want that. I would like if Nolan returned instead since we are not gonna get another Bat film by Nolan I rather have reboot instead and you don't have to do a origin to begin with anyways.
