Who as Fox.....

 

[MarvelComix85]

I'm gonna try casting Batman, but without the current choices already cast.

Liam McIntyre as Batman

Anthony Head as Alfred Pennyworth [He's basically playing Giles. But he'd have been so great.]

Lucas Till as Nightwing [All he needs is his hair dyed.]

Alexander Ludwig as Red Hood [His work in The Hunger Games showed how great he can play up the violence of Jason Todd.]

Colin Ford as Red Robin [Well, considering he's a fan favorite for Dick Grayson, and I have Nightwing in my movie universe, why not have him play Tim Drake?]

Pierce Gagnon as Robin (Damien Wayne) [See Looper.]

Jessica Stroup as Batgirl/Oracle [She basically plays the role on The Following. Tell me the picture below doesn't scream Oracle.]

Phoebe Tonkin as Huntress [Refer to her work as Faye in The Secret Circle. She can definitely play a brash vigilante like Huntress.]

Selina Lo as Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) [Trained in martial arts since 4 years old. And is young for the role.]

Olivia Holt as Batgirl (Stephanie Brown) [Young enough for the role, knows martial arts, is very funny.]

 

[MarvelComix85]

Bridget Regan as Batwoman [She did great on Beauty and the Beast, playing a slightly more layered character than Kahlan in Legend of the Seeker.]

Carl Lumbly as Lucius Fox [A great callback for geeks who loved his voice work as Martian Manhunter. That and his role in Alias also played into this choice.]

Kevin Bacon as James Gordon [He's great in The Following. He can be great as the Commissioner based on that show.]

Kevin Chapman as Harvey Bullock [Lionel Fusco. That is all.]

Daniela Ruah as Renee Montoya [Her work as Kensi Blye factored into this.]

Diego Klatenoff as Marcus Driver [See his work in The Blacklist.]

Common as Crispus Allen

Stephen Colbert as Jack Ryder [A no-brainer. Good timing for his retirement.]

Jennifer Morrison as Vicki Vale [Great actress in both comedy and drama. I think she'd rock it as the Arkham City incarnation of Vicki.]

Lauren Cohan as Catwoman [Bela Talbot has all the bells and whistles of Selina Kyle.]

 

[MarvelComix85]

Christopher Meloni as Sal Maroni

Henry Czerny as Carmine Falcone [Imagine Conrad Grayson in the mafia. He's a great sleazy performer.]

Dane DeHaan as Alberto Falcone [Well, since The Amazing Spider-Man will be wiped from existence, Dehaan can play this alternate Harry Osborn type.]

Vincent Kartheiser as Mario Falcone

Brian Cox as Rupert Thorne

Eddie Cahill as Black Mask [Thought about Desmond Harrington, but he did The Dark Knight Rises. I think Cahill would be just as good, and he has the accent from CSI.]

Mark A. Sheppard as Penguin [The ideal choice for a live-action take on the Arkham games.]

Bradley Cooper as Deadshot [After playing Chris Kyle, there's no doubt Bradley Cooper would've rocked the **** out of this role. And he would've been easily considered when you look at the top-tier talent in the upcoming DC movies.]

Ray Stevenson as Deathstroke [Frank Castle + Isaac Serko + Firefly = Deathstroke. All that's missing is a patch.]

Chad L. Coleman as Killer Croc [An imposing actor. Imagine Tyreese, but on the other moral side of the spectrum.]

 

[MarvelComix85]

Mandy Patinkin as Hugo Strange [Picture Jason Gideon in a more psychotic light.]

Michael Emerson as Scarecrow

Daniel Craig as Mr. Freeze

Terry O'Quinn as Jeremiah Arkham

Elena Satine as Poison Ivy [She has the red hair. All that's needed is green body paint to complete the transformation. She'd be just as great in this role as she would have been as Mary Jane Watson.]

Candice Accola as Harley Quinn [If you hate the CW, refer to her work in Dating Rules from My Future Self. Or for The Vampire Diaries fans, picture Caroline as a more deranged individual. Plus she sounds like Hynden Welch's amazing second take on the character in Assault on Arkham. She's even got a little crazy look to her, and resembles the character a little more than Margot Robbie.]

Alan Tudyk as Joker [His work as Alpha in Dollhouse is ALL you need to go by. He can even do a sinister smile and the maniacal laugh (see Wreck-It Ralph) to go with it.]

Taylor Handley as Riddler [Refer to the PlayStation 4: Greatness Awaits commercial, which the shot below is from.]

Steve Carrell as Mad Hatter [What perfect timing after his award-nominated work in Foxcatcher.]

Pruitt Taylor Vince as Calendar Man [Looks like the Arkham Origins/Arkham City take on the character.]

 

[MarvelComix85]

Josh Hartnett as Two-Face [I'm loving his work as Ethan Chandler in Penny Dreadful. Once my choice for Batman.]

Joseph Gilgun as Victor Zsasz

Max Theriot as James Gordon Jr. [I'm loving his work as Dylan in Bates Motel.]

Jeffrey Donovan as Clayface (Basil Karlo) [He's got a great classic movie star look. I'm sure he wouldn't mind doing CGI work.]

Elsa Pataky as Copperhead [Thor's real-life wife has the look, along with badassery from the past Fast & Furious movies, to nail this role.]

Jack Black as Professor Pyg (His work in Bernie makes him eligible.]

Connor Paolo as Anarky [He played a great troublemaker who thought he was doing the right thing in Revenge.]

Matt Willig as Bane [With his roles as Little Chino in Dexter and One-Eye in We're the Millers, he's a dead ringer for a more comic-accurate take on Bane. He can even do the accent.]

Wei Tang as Lady Shiva [A rising star from China. Besides having the same decent as Shiva, she's got a good voice that sounds like Kelly Hu from Arkham Origins with a Chinese dialect. If she opts to martial training, then she would be perfect.]

Dilip Singh as Ubu

 

[MarvelComix85]

Janina Gavankar as Talia al Ghul (Her work as Amita in Far Cry 4 is a perfect guideline.]

Oded Fehr as Ra's Al Ghul [Same decent as the character, played bad guys, can do action still, and even voiced Ra's in Young Justice.]

Daniel Feueriegel as Talon [Played against Liam McIntyre in Spartacus.]

Daniel Gillies as Maxwell Lord [He's got the look of a smarmy but smooth businessman. Just watch him as Elijah in The Originals for a good starting point. This isn't John Jameson anymore.]

 

[regwec]

That's certainly exhaustive.

 

[Rorschach2012]

solid list marvelcomix. you got everyone in there

What do you think of the cast?

 

[Rorschach2012]

I liked almost all of it
I didn't recognize some actors though

Joker: Jared Leto
Harley: Margot Robbie
Catwoman: Diane Kruger
Two Face: Jon Hamm
Freeze: Mads Mikkelsen
Riddler: Paul Dano
Penguin: Timothy Spall
Ras Al Ghul: Ralph Fiennes
Talia Al Ghul: Eva Green
Bane: Javier Bardem

 

[shauner111]

No offense to MarvelComic but the majority of those actors can't even act well. Just because they have a look or training doesn't mean they're right for the part. Also, way too many tv actors.

 

[Tg11]

Bruce Wayne/Batman- Ben Affleck
Nightwing/Dick Grayson- Lucas Till
Batgirl/Oracle- Jessica Stroup
Lucius Fox- Denzel Washington
Commissioner James "Jim" Gordon- Harrison Ford
Harvey Bullock- Michael Madsen
Renee Montoya- Michelle Rodriguez
Vicki Vale- Rosamund Pike
Selina Kyle/Catwoman- Olivia Wilde
Sal Maroni- Cole Hauser
Carmine Falcone- Paul Sorvino
Thomas Wayne (flashbacks)- Thomas Gibson
Martha Wayne (flashbacks)- Connie Nielsen
Joe Chill- Brad Dourif
Roman Sionis/Black Mask- Luke Evans
Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin- Ray Winstone
Joker- Jared Leto
Harvey Dent/Two-Face- Leonardo DiCaprio
Ra's Al Ghul- Hugo Weaving
Talia Al Ghul- Gemma Arterton

So? Now the good time to create some breakthrough performers.

 

[Boom]

Ra's al Ghul ... Reda Kateb

Spoiler

Perhaps but what i said before still stands. Not all (obviously) but a lot of those choices aren't very good. This is why people laugh at the majority of fan-casting, because fans just choose the guys and gals who look the part without caring if they can act first. That's the most important part.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Seeing Jared Leto photobombing Keaton at the Oscars brought this thought to my feverish fanboy mind...

#KeatonforthenewJimGordon

 

[Vogelscheuche]

Think Ben Schwartz could be a good Riddler, or a good Joker, can't decide which I'd prefer him in. With Affleck being so old though, he's probably too young

 

[regwec]

He does have a good face for evil preening and leering, though I have never previously heard of him.

I can't remember have you posted your fancast here? I'm genuinely interested in seeing your choices. Sometimes we don't agree on everything (mostly just Hal Jordan) but I respect your opinion and would be curious to see your fan cast.

 

[TX85]

Dick Greyson/Nightwing-Milo Ventimigilia

Commissioner James Gordon-William Petersen

Lucious Fox-Denzel Washington

Vicki Velle-Ali Larter

I didn't cast many because my cast is for the first solo film. Bruce/Batman,Alfred,Harley and Joker are already casted..which I agree with

 

[DeFett]

I'd like to see Guy Pearce as Commissioner Gordon but if he is still too young someone mentioned Harrison Ford before. That would be interesting.

 

[regwec]

Kurt Russell.

All in the reflexes.
