The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 6

[shauner111]

Is he the guy in the terrible Silent Hill sequel? I dont know what his acting is like in GoT but he was goddamn horrible in that dumb ass movie. I only saw it because i liked the first one like 10 years ago but he was pretty bad. Pompeii haha. I know better not to see garbage.

 

[regwec]

I don't think he's particularly impressive in GoT, to be honest.* He broods competently, but not much more.

* I haven't yet seen any of series 4- no spoilers, please.

 

[Rorschach2012]

From what I've seen, he has the chops to pull off Dick Grayson. He may not be winning an Oscar any time soon, but Nightwing is within his range imo

 

[Harry Dresden]

Him or Richard Madden would be great for the role.

I have to disagree. I just couldn't imagine him as being a leader if anything happened to Bruce Wayne, and that's important.

Richard Madden, on the other hand. Especially after seeing how tough he is in that new show he's in.

 

[EssayM]

i definitely don't think that killed his career. GOT is so well received that it will provide a cushion for his career for years to come.

Maybe, but given that his only other significant roles seem to be bit parts in How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Seventh Son, that's probably not going to happen for a while.

 

[Harry Dresden]

The Penguin - Andy Serkis

Ra's Al Ghul - Naveen Andrew

Lmao Sayid, no chance in hell.

No to those suggestions. But you get points for originality.

Thanks.

 

[Knightstalker]

I think David Giuntoli would make a great older Dick Grayson/Nightwing

 

[Harry Dresden]

Commissioner Gordon - Viggo Mortensen

Catwoman - Melanie Laurent

Talia Al Ghul - Berenice Marlohe

Ras Al Ghul - Terence Stamp

The Joker - Edward Norton

Harley Quinn - Tatiana Maslany

Two Face - Joseph Fiennes

Scarecrow - Gustaf Skarsgard

Poison Ivy - Sarah Gadon

Mr. Freeze - Jason Isaacs

 

[Harry Dresden]

Some new picks.

Dick Grayson - Brenton Thwaites

Red Hood - Joe Dempsie

 

[gwynplaine]

The Penguin and the Joker

 

[Rodrigo90]

I'm convinced Steve Carell could pull of the Joker

He's set to be brilliant and unrecognizable in Foxcatcher. It's easy to see that in the trailer, to be honest.
I could see him as a more refined Clown Prince of Crime than Jack or Heath's Joker. With his comedic side and dark edge, perhaps a BTAS Joker feel to him. All he has to do is deepen his voice a slight touch to sound a bit more menacing, keep himself that bit zany still, and he's golden.

 

[Rorschach2012]

The Joker: Willem Dafoe

Harley Quinn: Courtney Love

Catwoman: Angelina Jolie

Two Face: Viggo Mortensen

Mr. Freeze: Mads Mikkelsen

The Riddler: Macaulay Culkin

The Penguin: Albert Brooks

Ra's Al Ghul: Timothy Dalton

Talia Al Ghul: Eva Green

 

[Harry Dresden]

Timothy Dalton as Ra's Al Ghul is genius, Rorshach.

 

[DOBSON10]

Batman - Jim Caviezel
Commissioner Gordon - Bryan Cranston
Alfred Pennyworth - Richard Jenkins
Catwoman - Kate Beckinsale
Nightwing - Ian Somerhalder
Police Captain David King - William Fichtner
Harvey Bullock - Michael Madsen
Chief Clancy O’Hara - James Woods
Renee Montoya - Alice Braga


Joker - Daniel Day Lewis
Penguin - Ray Winstone
Two- Face - Josh Brolin
The Riddler - Robert Knepper
Mr. Freeze - Mark Strong
Scarecrow - Jackie Earle Haley
Bane - Dominic Purcell
Killer Croc - Kevin Durand
Ra's Al Ghul - Viggo Mortensen
Victor Zsasz - Ben Foster
Harley Quinn - Sheri Moon Zombie
Poison Ivy - Eva Green

I realize a few of these are unoriginal but there is a reason why, because they make a ton of sense. I didn't steal them from other fancasts, just ended up being common choices, for obvious reasons. Some of these actors are just perfect for these roles. I would re-cast Christian Bale as Batman if possible, but obviously it's not.

 

[regwec]

I like most of those, Rorschach. The exceptions are Culkin, which would be to annoying for me to handle, and Jolie. She was my first choice for Catwoman ten years ago, but a lot has changed since then.

Either Paula Patton or Emily Blunt, for me.

 

[Rorschach2012]

If not Culkin, I'd pick Paul Dano.

Paula Patton or Emily Blunt would both be good picks for Selina! I'd be down for Charlize as Catwoman too.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Nightwing: Garett Hedlund
Red Hood - Joe Dempsie
Tim Drake - Brenton Thwaites
Catwoman - Rooney Mara
Batgirl - Olivia Thirlby
Spoiler - Emma Roberts
Cassandra Cain - Rinko Kikuchi
Commisoner Gordon - Viggo Mortensen
The Joker - Woody Harrelson
Harley Quinn - Alice Eve
The Riddler - Martin Freeman
The Scarecrow - Gustaf Skarsgaard
Lucius Fox - Jeffrey Wright
The Huntress - Emilia Clarke
Batwoman - Jessica Chastain
Mr. Freeze - Jason Isaacs
Two Face - Bobby Cannavale
The Penguin - Andy Serkis
Deathstroke - Gerard Butler
Amanda Waller - Mo'Nique
Black Mask - David Tennant
Poison Ivy - Jessica Biel
Hugo Strange - Billy Bob Thornton
Ra's Al Ghul - Terrence Stamp
Talia Al Ghul - Nooni Rapace

A couple of new ones and characters I rarely see get fancasted around here like Huntress and Spoiler.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Garrett Hedlund would make an awesome Nightwing.

 

[KillingJoke]

[KillingJoke]

Michael Derek for the Joker...great audition tape

[Rodrigo90]

You should tell him Joker won't be in it like that

 

[shauner111]

This Michael Derek guy sucks.
