The Batman Reboot Casting Thread - Part 7

[Eddie Dean]

Kevin Smith as The Penguin! Ron Howard as The Riddler! Quentin Tarantino as Film Freak!

 

[Rodrigo90]

Tim Burton for Mad Hatter

Seriously though, smart Alecs. Have you guys never seen Herzog act? He's a top notch actor.

Herzog as Freeze is a genius choice, but i think he might be better as Hugo Strange - imagine him confronting all of Arkham's worst patients with that calm, collected posterior. Heck, imagine Batman going against this aging psychiatrist and he won't even flinch.

No, I agree. But it clearly was a great time to make that joke.

 

[Astro13Zombie]

Mikkelsen c'mon

 

[regwec]

Herzog would be interesting, but I think he is at least 20 years too old.

 

[Rodrigo90]

If he can maintain at least some of his mental facilties and most importantly, life, for another few years until Affleck decides to write the character, then he MAY have a good chance

 

[Astro13Zombie]

Herzog?
lolnah

 

[Rodrigo90]

This man...

...4 Freeze

 

[shauner111]

Freeze isn't happening for a long while so it can't be somebody who is already 60 or 70 years old.

 

[Rodrigo90]

They'll end up where Nora is now

 

[terry78]

^Too soon, too soon.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Mr. Freeze is exactly a physical role. All they need to do is film Herzog's head and do some RDJ trickery to put him in a robot suit.

But if not, J.K. Simmons is my other left field choice. Not, not because he's bald (OK, a little because he's bald). Get some of that Whiplash intensity and you've got yourself one scary Freeze.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Yes. "The Batman" should be filled with Actor-Directors so as to make Affleck feel at home!

Clint Eastwood - Commissioner Gordon (retired)

[NotSoLongAgo]

This man would make an amazing Hugo Strange

 

[regwec]

I don't know who that is.

 

[KillerWolf]

That would be James Spader. From "Stargate" and "Boston Legal", the only American legal practice TV show I am able to watch and not be bored to death.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Also from the Blacklist and Avengers 2

 

[Eddie Dean]

Thomas Middleditch - The Riddler

 

[KillerWolf]

Also from the Blacklist and Avengers 2

I never watched "Blacklist". I heard it's good.

And I never watched "Avengers 2" as well, though I didn't hear that's good.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Blacklist has its highs and lows. Like when its good its really good and when its bad its not awful but could've been better, same with AoU really. Spader is good in both though.

 

[regwec]

Thomas Middleditch - The Riddler

He risks looking more like The Joker than Leto does.

 

[Eddie Dean]

He risks looking more like The Joker than Leto does.

But what if Leto is just Jason Todd pretending to be The Joker?!?! Problem solved.

 

[Mr.?]

Jeff Goldblum for the Riddler
