The Batman Reboot Casting Thread

[Smylex]

I would go Arkham style
Gerrard Butler - Batman (law abiding citizen style)
Daniel Day lewis - Joker
Hugh Laurie - Riddler
Olivia Wilde - Catwoman

 

[DrCosmic]

Omar Epps as Lucius Fox?

 

[BruceWanner]

What do you think about Jack Huston for Two-Face? If you watch Boardwalk Empire you know what I'm talking about. I admit I only saw a short clip when he was a guest on Jimmy Fallon last night, so I'd like to ask anyone who watches Boardwalk Empire and knows his character for their input. From the little bit I saw I sensed a lot of potential.

 

[Young Superman]

How about Bruce Greenwood as an older live action Bruce Wayne / Batman?

 

[Changeling]

this bruce greenwood hahha?

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I'll stick with him doing voice work. lol

 

[Drizzle]

I've seen a lot of Michael Fassbender for Batman suggestions in this thread. I feel like he'd be much better as The Joker. I feel like he'd have fit in perfectly in the Nolan films (perhaps as The Riddler) but as it is, I feel like he'd be a good fit for a future Bat-film and he's got the acting chops to pull off a Joker that I think would be different from both Heath and Jack.

I caught a bit of Hawaii Five-0 the other night, and I think Alex O'Loughlin is a really good choice to follow Christian Bale. I don't know how much depth he has as an actor, but he has the look, charisma, and charm.

 

[batdude]

He played a vampire in a show called Moonlight before H50. It was a Batman/ Angel style charcter it could work.

 

[DaveMoral]

Jeffery Donovan of Burn Notice for Batman/Bruce Wayne.

 

[axelbratoski]

"Batman: Year One" cast

Desmond Harrington as Bruce Wayne / Batman

Daniel Craig as Lieutenant James Gordon

Charlize Theron as Detective Sarah Essen

James Caan as Carmine "The Roman" Falcone

Jon Polito as Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb

Bill Nighy as Alfred Pennyworth

Rosario Dawson as Selina Kyle / Catwoman

Adam Baldwin as Detective Arnold John Flass

Julianne Nicholson as Barbara Gordon

 

[DaveMoral]

^Why the hell would anyone want another Year One? We had that in Batman Begins AND in the Year One animated movie. That does not need to be redone. Not at all. At least not for another 20 years.

 

[Boom]

Yeah. I'd only be interested in seeing Batman's origins re-explored this soon if they did a live-action television series - where they could flesh out Bruce's story in even more depth.

 

[Van Petrol]

Daniel Craig as Lieutenant James Gordon

Yes! I've been thinking about this for a while now.


In a couple of years, I think he'd make a great Jim Gordon.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Mustachioed Craig gets my seal of approval.

 

[BobJM]

not a fan of batman: year one being adapted, but that cast is awesome. kudos

 

[RoughNTumble]

who would you guys cast as damian?

 

[axelbratoski]

Kodi Smit-McPhee? Colin Ford?

 

[Indy Flash]

Nice List.

 

[RoughNTumble]

Kodi Smit-McPhee? Colin Ford?

Kodi is a little too scrawny I think, and I'm not sure he could pull of damian's fiery aggression.

I haven't seen colin ford in anything, but he seems a better fit in the looks department.

 

[CJ]

Matt Dillon as Bruce Wayne/Batman

Bob Hoskins as The Penguin

Scarlett Johansen as Poison Ivy

Daniel Craig as Deadshot

Hugh Laurie as The Joker

Mickey Rourke as Bane

 

[Fudgie]

I can't see Hugh Laurie as Joker.

 

[Jordacar]

I can't see Hugh Laurie as Joker.

Same here, even having seen his old stuff

 

[CJ]

I was thinking of Hugh playing an Arkham Asylum-style Joker. A little older and a bit scrawny.
