The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 6

[Two-Face]

Macy looks like Gordon. I would be very happy and he's a great actor.

 

[bluerayer]

I had to image-search him to find out who he was.

He has a very good look for Nigma, but I know little of his ability. I see he does a lot of voice work, which can be a good sign.

No offence but haven't you seen How I Met Your Mother? Im not really a fan of that show but NPH is funny in it.

 

[terry78]

Did he ever get any kind of award for that role?

 

[Sawyer]

Did he ever get any kind of award for that role?

No. Which is really a sign of the Emmy voters ineptitude, considering Jim Parsons won on multiple occasions for that God awful **** he's in.

 

[Harry Dresden]

NPH as The Riddler would be pretty nice. He's most well known for comedy, but NPH can give a good dramatic edge. I heard he's big in theatre too.

 

[regwec]

No offense taken, but no, I have never seen or heard of it. I barely watch TV, and when I do it is generally news or sport.

 

[terry78]

Seriously? Barney is like one of the tv icons of the last decade I would think. A despicable character you can't help but love regardless.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Hey, i like William H. Macy too. Now we have a trio of possible Gordon's!

 

[regwec]

Seriously? Barney is like one of the tv icons of the last decade I would think. A despicable character you can't help but love regardless.

I know of Barney from the Simpsons and Barney the dinosaur, but presume you are referring to neither.

 

[Rodrigo90]

NPH as The Riddler would be pretty nice. He's most well known for comedy, but NPH can give a good dramatic edge. I heard he's big in theatre too.

He's starring in Gone Girl and that's a serious film, so hopefully we see a serious performance from

But it's just his flamboyance and sophistication that makes you see Riddler in him

 

[Harry Dresden]

He also killed it as Dr. Horrible.

 

[Rodrigo90]

And Christina Hendricks for Ivy

 

[shauner111]

She's always been my pick. Ill continue to say it until she's cast!

 

[regwec]

She would be fine, but I favour Gemma Arterton, whom I consider to be a slightly stronger actress.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I was initially against her. Simply because I thought her frame was just too unrealistic for Ivy. Christina is an incredibly curvaceous woman.
I thought she was too unrealistically sexy for Ivy, who is already a sexy character.
I wanted a more common physique for her.

But I sense the DCFU isn't bothered about real aesthetics as Nolan's franchise was. An ordinary looking actor for Scarecrow, as opposed to picking a lanky Ichabod Crane looking actor.

Willem Dafoe is someone else who doesn't look normal, he has an unusually unique face, which is perfect for the Joker.

 

[Rodrigo90]

She would be fine, but I favour Gemma Arterton, whom I consider to be a slightly stronger actress.

All I'm picturing is Talia

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Yeah, Hendricks is my pick for Ivy too. Gosh is she such a stunner. Yowzas!

 

[Harry Dresden]

She would be fine, but I favour Gemma Arterton, whom I consider to be a slightly stronger actress.

For once I agree with you. Arterton was fantastic in Byzantium.

Hendricks would be a good fit though too . She played a similar role on Firefly.

 

[Rodrigo90]

And, since I've FINALLY obtained Netflix, I have seen Breaking Bad not all, of course lol

But Dean Norris has come to my attention. He'd be good for the Penguin I think.

 

[Sawyer]

I don't think he can pull off that level of refinement.

And after Danny DeVito, we're REALLY gonna need a refined Penguin.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Short in height. Refined. Mad, when he wants to be...
Christoph Waltz?

 

[Rodrigo90]

He could even be Gordon with his current look

 

[Harry Dresden]

John Hawkes for Gordon

 

[Rorschach2012]

I don't care that these choices are obvious, and not "inspired". They would all do a great job. I think the most important things are acting ability and physical likeness to the character, all these people have that.

The Joker: Willem Dafoe
Catwoman: Charlize Theron
Mr. Freeze: Giancarlo Esposito
Two-Face: Jon Hamm
The Penguin: Timothy Spall
Riddler: David Tenant
Poison Ivy: Christina Hendricks

 

[Harry Dresden]

David Tennant would make a good Riddler. He was the best part if the Goblet of Fire.
