The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 5

[regwec]

I agree, he would be better suited to playing a character who is inherently unlikeable, like Hal Jordan.

BATMAN!

 

[regwec]

Where? Out of frame?

 

[ThePhantasm]

dude you can't cast a chair as Batman... or a fence... that's just silly

 

[regwec]

Here are some of my current thoughts. There are a few names from TV etc, partly because bigger names are likely to be on the wane over the coming years:

[FONT=&quot]Bruce Wayne/Batman – Ryan Gosling[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Tim Drake/Robin – Asa Butterfield[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Alfred Pennyworth – Timothy Dalton[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Commissioner James Gordon – Jeffrey Wright[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Leslie Tompkins – Jamie Lee Curtis[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Silver St Cloud – Amber Heard[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Harvey Bullock – Michael Madsen[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] Selina Kyle/Catwoman – Zoe Saldana[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin – Toby Jones[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Edward Nigma/The Riddler – Andrew Scott[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Harvey Dent/Two Face – Jonathan Rhys Meyers[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Joker – Matt Smith[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Jervis Tetch/The Mad Hatter – Andy Serkis[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Poison Ivy – Gemma Arterton[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mr Freeze – Mads Mikkelsen[/FONT]

Zoe for Catwoman? I like it. Then again....Amber Heard as Catwoman perhaps?

Gemma can't be Poison Ivy, she's WW

 

[Rowsdower!]

I like that cast overall.

I think Catwoman is dreadfully difficult to cast, because she needs to have a great deal of physicality, elegance, warmth and steel. She needs to be both feminine and tough, classy and streetwise. There aren't many actresses who I would trust with all of that, but I think Zoe is very promising.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Batman: Matthew Goode

Alfred Pennyworth: Sam Neill

Commissioner Gordon: Sean Bean

Lucius Fox: Keith David

Catwoman: Maggie Q

The Joker: Aaron Paul

The Riddler: Michael Stuhlbarg

The Penguin: Jared Harris

Hugo Strange: Peter Stormare

Poision Ivy: Kate Mara

 

[Eddie Dean]

Killer Croc: Terry Crews

Mister Freeze: Christoph Waltz

The Ventriloquist: Richard Jenkins

 

[dmc]

Maggie Q for Catwoman....YES! But Keith David should not be allowed anywhere near a Batman movie....any movie for that matter.

 

[Eddie Dean]

On the contrary, Keith David should be in every movie.

 

[Rowsdower!]

LMAO at that picture of Sam Neill. He would make a good Alfred though.

 

[Kane52630]

Amber Heard also should be in everything.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Amber Heard also should be in everything.

On the contrary, she should be in nothing.


And by that I mean, she should be wearing nothing.

 

[hellblazer103]

peter stormare would be fantastic as hugo strange. his performance in constantine is kinda jokerish too .

Interesting choice for Freeze I would love to see this cast come together. Who would you cast as Vicki Vale?

 

[Eddie Dean]

She should play an original villain called The Clothes Stealer. After a terrible accident burned off all her clothes, she devoted her life to stealing the clothes of Gotham's female population. I see a no clothes gang following her. They would be played by Christina Hendricks, Alison Brie and Kate Upton.

 

[EssayM]

So she basically has the costume of every female comic book character ever created?

 

[EssayM]

BTW Christoph Waltz is a good choice for Freeze. He's been in way too many stock villain roles in crappy movies lately, an actor of his caliber deserves meatier roles.

YES! This is the best idea for a new Batman movie that I've ever heard.

I this idea t:

An 18/R (depending on region) rated Batman movie.

If Darren Aronofsky is directing, it could happen. He's not shy of some fanservice (Black Swan anyone?)

I don't see it. I see him as Hugo Strange. There's something about his way of speaking of personality that doesn't mesh with Freeze at all.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Mads Mikkelsen is more suited for Freeze...he seems so depressed and detached in things I've seen lol
