The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 7

[Sawyer]

*last word*

 

[Travesty]

Aren't you forgetting someone?

Who, Bale? Bale is 6, or a little over 6.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Just to give you an idea of what he could look like as Alfred

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

I think Aaron Taylor Johnson could be a great Joker

 

[FatRobin]

A story about Batman, Joker, and Zod, as read by Lois Lane.



But seriously, I think Aaron Taylor Johnson could be a great Joker

That film was phenomenal and ATJ was bat**** crazy Yeah I think he can work as Joker too. Too bad we have Leto now and I still wanna see him under better direction.

 

[hellblazer103]

ATJ ? Why not ? Dude's pretty great .

 

[Eddie Dean]

atj is bad imo

 

[Rodrigo90]

He’s serviceable but boring, in my opinion.

 

[shauner111]

He's great in Nocturnal Animals. Terrible in Godzilla and Avengers. He needs to be pushed with a character he can actually sink his teeth into, and a good director.

 

[Rodrigo90]

He's always got this smarmy "too cool for school" look to him... makes me want to punch him

And he is a decent actor, but I disagree about him making a good Joker. Good if I want to fall asleep, though

 

[Eddie Dean]

he is very bad in nocturnal animals imo

 

[shauner111]

You have some weird ass opinions on acting and casting lmao. His character called for something specific, which included being a creepy, irritating, disgusting hick. And he nailed that in spades. That's a good performance.

 

[Eddie Dean]

It’s a pale imitation of Matthew McConaughey in Texas Chainsaw 4 which was just a pale imitation of Viggo in Texas Chainsaw 3.

 

[shauner111]

Who cares though? He has a job to do, and if we hated him in the movie, wanted to strangle him and were totally weirded out by the dude then that means he did his job and did it well.

 

[Eddie Dean]

He did nothing for me. It was just an actor putting on facial hair and a southern accent. There's no authenticity in his performance.

 

[shauner111]

Umm it's a story being told like a dark fairytale from the mind of Jake's character. It's supposed to be dramatic.

Anyways, he's not right for the Joker lol.

 

[Eddie Dean]

nocturnal animals is bad imo

 

[shauner111]

Don't make me come over there and hug you until you like it!

 

[Rodrigo90]

Haven't seen Nocturnal Animals, but lol

 

[Sawyer]

If we're basing it entirely on his Nocturnal Animals, then pass. I'd prefer we move away from that kind of Joker. Bring back the Joker that's more jovial and actually clown-like, and is all the creepier because of that. The Cesar Romero school of Jokering.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

He's great in Nocturnal Animals. Terrible in Godzilla and Avengers. He needs to be pushed with a character he can actually sink his teeth into, and a good director.

I agree with all this, but one solid performance doesn't earn you a shot at playing the most iconic super villain of all time. He needs to build up his repertoire first by demonstrating consistency in the aforementioned regard.

 

[shauner111]

Totally agree.

Can't get Walton Goggins out of my head, for Joker.

 

[Astro13Zombie]

Totally agree.

Can't get Walton Goggins out of my head, for Joker.

He would be good

And that smile t:

 

[FatRobin]

Do you guys prefer a good looking Joker like Leto or a totally deranged/deformed-looking Joker?
