The Batman Reboot Casting Thread

[Knight Rise]

actually, i could see Daniel Craig as Bruce Wayne/Batman or Mr. Freeze. i could see him doing the millionaire playboy thing

Daniel Craig is too ugly for Bruce.

 

[Bopper-Girl]

How about brandon routh as bruce wayne.

It could happen I can't really think of any other buff males in their early 30's. let alone early 20's

he was already Superman. its already odd seeing Chis Evans as Human Torch AND Captain America. not a good idea

 

[flickchick85]

That, and he can't act.

 

[Majik1387]

He did just fine in Dylan Dog.

 

[scatterax]

so is it confirmed that he's being rebooted in stand alone movies? or is his rebooted character only for justice league?vand nolan and bale are out right?

 

[Majik1387]

Nolan would be staying as producer. Bale isn't a set yes or no, I personally think it would depend on the script and its direction if he would come back.

 

[scatterax]

so would they be redoing his origins ..again. and is the reboot just to change the style to fit in with justice league?

 

[Majik1387]

No idea on those details, but I'm sure WB is considering whichever works best for them. Batman is their proven money maker.

Didn't see it. But he was mediocre in SR and awful in Chuck and Scott Pilgrim, imo.

LOL, he was by FAR my least favorite Evil-Ex.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I thought he was okay in Scott Pilgrim but he was laughably bad in Chuck. He acted like he was reading off a teleprompter.

Never bothered to see Dylan Dog.

I still think Alexander Skasgard has some qualities that would really mesh well with Bruce Wayne/Batman without him being simply an immitation of the ones before. He's got a little Adam West in him, a little Bale, a little Conroy but also a creepiness on True Blood I think fits perfectly with the role. He's a villain at times, but a villain you want to root for. Plus he's very tall, I think that adds to the role.

 

[Knight Rise]

But...he doesn't look like a Batman or Bruce

Keaton and Bale and West don't really "look like Bruce", at least not the typical look.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

I think he does.

 

[Jordacar]

Agreed

 

[Optimus_Prime_]

I think he does.

I'd say your requirements are pretty slim. They don't have the same hair color, and outside of the fact that they both be attractive men. Also, that's Bale done up to look like Bruce Wayne...this is what Bale looks like usually.

 

[Majik1387]

So what? As long as he looks like Bruce for the movie, who cares how he usually looks.

That's more or less my point. Alexander Skasgard can be made to look like Bruce. The only thing that throws me about his face is his nose, and to be honest it's nothing compared to how unlike Batman Keaton looked and I loved Keaton. I think Skasgard captures a lot of Bruce, specifically the demeanor and I think his height would be a great addition to the role. Having a Batman that can tower over others. I still think my first choice is Eric Dane.

 

[Majik1387]

Skarsgard just doesn't look like Bruce to me. And only plastic surgery would make him look like Bruce for me, though he doesn't need it.
