The Batman Reboot Casting Thread

[axelbratoski]

Desmond Harrington as Batman / Bruce Wayne (just throwing a new name into the mix)

 

[Eddie Dean]

My classic Hollywood cast-

Gregory Peck as Batman / Bruce Wayne

Kirk Douglas as Jim Gordon

Peter O'Toole as The Joker

Edward G. Robinson as The Penguin

Jane Russell as Catwoman

Robert Mitchum as Two-Face

Peter Lorre as The Riddler

Tor Johnson as Killer Croc

Boris Karloff as Hugo Strange

Boris Karloff as Hugo Strange

The awesomeness of that line up is causing my head to implode.

 

[CConn]

Tor Johnson as Croc would've been pretty awesome.

ok, for those who've watched atleast the first season of dexter....

i know i've already recommended michael c hall for the riddler, but watching the most recent episode made me realise who'd possibly be an even better choice .


christian camargo ( the ice truck killer )

or he could even pull off joker , but i think he's just a bit better suited for the riddler.

what do you guys think ?

edit : random to throw this out, but he also looks like he'd make a good alberto falcone just thought i'd throw that out there.

Just like Eddie Dean, I'll do a "Rule 63" cast of Nolan's Batman:

Abbie Cornish as Brenda Wayne / Batwoman

Maggie Smith as Alice Pennyworth

Michelle Pfeiffer as Jane Gordon

Noomi Rapace as The Joker

Jake Gyllenhaal as Ronald Dawes

Michelle Williams as Hayley Dent / Two Face

Angela Bassett as Lucy Fox

Tilda Swinton as Ra'sa al Ghul

Helena Bonham Carter as Jennifer Crane / Scarecrow

Michael Fassbender as Catman / Sylvester Kyle

I also would cast Gina Carano as Bane, but that would be too ridiculous...

We need a whole thread recasting comic films this way!!

 

[Silvermoth]

Not just comic films but movies in general, that would be awesome! I'ld love to do that with something like Lord of the Rings.

I would create it myself but I'm far too busy...being delicious (deliciously lazy)

[Enriquespy]

Ron Perlman as Flass

WHAAAAT??? Ron is an expert on acting with heavy makeup! he is a great killer croc, or an ultra humanite, or even a non cgi man-bat.

 

[Jordacar]

Or the president of a vigilante motorcycle gang! Oh, wait...

 

[hoggy33]

Ryan Reynolds (he seems to be playing every other ****ing superhero)

 

[OP84CC82]

Will Smith as a black Batman would be AWESOME!

 

[Silvermoth]

Speaking of Rule 63, I remember in the Marvel films thread they had an all African American version of Spiderman (this was about the same time as the whole Idris Elba as Heimdell controversy) that was quite interesting.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Anyone watch Hell on Wheels?

I think Anson Mount could make a good Batman.

 

[Boom]

He'd be a good choice for an established Batman .

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, especially if they were going to introduce Robin and eventually Batgirl/Oracle.

 

[Tron wolfgang]

Anyone watch Hell on Wheels?

I think Anson Mount could make a good Batman.

is Anson Mount the main character? if he is then i agree he could be a good batman.

 

[Sith Scotti]

Id so be down for a Black & White film noir Batman movie

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yup, He's Cullen Bohannon.

You know you're hardcore if you can make a character named "Cullen" a badass in the Twilight era.

 

[Brian2887]

John Hawkes (Winter's Bone, Martha Marcy May Marlene) for Joker.

 

[KingMob]

Uh, how could you not mention Eastbound and Down? Shame.

 

[Rowsdower!]

John Hawkes (Winter's Bone, Martha Marcy May Marlene) for Joker.

That's an interesting suggestion. He was hardcore in Winter's Bone.

 

[Keyser Soze]

DiCaprio's voice is a deal-breaker for me. I've got no problem with Batman sounding younger than we're used to (which is why I can imagine the also-young-sounding Gosling making it work), but he cannot have that boy-voice Leo is eternally cursed with.

The compromise is surely to have Leonardo DiCaprio play The Joker to Ryan Gosling's Batman.

Sounds like a decent compromise to me! t:

 

[Boy Scout]

My first choice for Batman is Michael Fassbender.
