The Batman Reboot Casting Thread

My first choice for Batman is Michael Fassbender.

Mine too, tbh. I'm not fully convinced the First Class sequel will actually happen yet, either, so I still say it's possible.

I hope it does. There are other actors out there who can pull off Batman, but I don't want someone else stepping in and replacing Fassbender as Magneto any time soon.

We don't know when the Batman reboot will take place. It could happen after the First Class sequel is done.

Oh I completely agree. Fassbender IS my Magneto now, and I loved First Class. I'm just skeptical about this sequel's hopes of actually happening. In the case that it doesn't, him taking over as Batman would be the best silver lining ever, imo. And yes, I also feel like he could be in both franchises at once, but it's probably a lot less likely.

Do you guys think we can get a poll added to the next thread.

If so, we could quote all the best choices of the thread to see who makes it to the poll.

Also - Leonardo DiCaprio for the Riddler.

Interesting thing about DiCaprio. I think he would make a damn good Bruce Wayne...but I just can't see him as Batman.

Yeah, it's like we were talking about on the previous page - that voice of his just can't be a Batman voice.

He could always use a synthesizer.

I've seen children imitate Bale's Batvoice with impressive similarities. Regardless of one's natural voice, proper tonal control can easily circumvent that.

It's actually not a hard voice to imitate. But it's a ***** to maintain. Dunno how Bale did it.

I don't want another meh-voiced Batman, I was a near-perfect voiced Batman on film.

Honestly, the best candidiate for Batman in the reboot would be Kevin Porter. He's the perfect Batman. Build, looks, voice.

Give him some extra acting lessons (I'm not saying he's bad) and all is perfect.

For those of you who don't know who he is, he plays Batman in Bat-in-the-Sun's fan films (Batman Legends, City of Scars, Seeds of Arkham).

Bale's BB Batvoice was perfect.

He's not a bad choice, but his voice could use some work, IMO.

Agreed. And hire Bale as his vocal coach while you're at it.

Hehe, that would certainly be a different direction.

 

[Hypestyle]

Robin= unknown;
Lucius Fox= Danny Glover
vicki vale= kate hudson

 

[elgaz]

My dream cast for a reboot. These are people I always had in mind (even before Nolan came along with his films), so some of them may be a bit old for the roles now ... but I still like them ...............................

Eric Bana - Bruce Wayne/Batman

Donald Sutherland - Alfred Pennyworth

William H Macy - Jim Gordon

Denzel Washington - Lucius Fox

Jackie Earl Haley - The Joker

Crispin Glover - The Riddler

LOL, funny. You're a funny guy.

Hey, I've got a new suggestion... Tahmoh Penikett anyone?

 

[Boy Scout]

He certainly looks the part. But I've barely seen the guy in anything, so I can't say whether or not he can act the part.

 

[axelbratoski]

He stars in Battlestar Galactica as Karl "Helo" Agathon.

I don't watch that show.

 

[flickchick85]

As someone who's a huge fan of his two highest-profile gigs (BSG and Dollhouse), I really don't think he could pull it off on the acting front. He was one of the weakest links on both shows, imo.

 

[Boom]

I'm reading through The Man Who Falls.

Who would you guys cast for Master Kirigi, Henri Ducard, and the Shaman?
