The Dark Knight Returns Live Action Casting

Brad Dourif: The Joker

 

Bruce Wayne/Batman: Kurt Russell


Jim Gordon: Sam Elliot


The Joker: Willem Dafoe


Carrie Kelly/Robin: Saoirse Ronan


Superman: Bruce Campbell

 

Bruce Campbell as Superman LMAO id pay a LOT of money to see that.

Russell and Elliott are great choices. If you were doing it now. If it's in 10 years or so, Jon Hamm will be perfect. An easy transition (from the animated movie) would be to cast Michael Emerson for the Joker. Since it's an older and slightly different Joker.

 

CrypticName i love your cast, especially Kurt Russell and Sam Elliot. Willem Dafoe is a great choice but Id replace him with David Bowie.

Bruce Campbell as Superman... i love Campbell but just no to that idea. Maybe Jon Hamm?

 

And since Michael Emerson is an awesome actor. I always thought he'd be a great Mad Hatter.

 

He could play Mad Hatter or Riddler extremely well. The guy is awesome, someone please hire him for something Batman live-action related.

 

I'd give my right arm to see Superman say to Lois
"Give me some sugar, baby"

"The world is safe again, Superman. Thanks to you"
"Groovy"

 

Love that cast! I've wanted Campbell for a superhero for awhile, he'd be an excellent Superman if he got in better shape.

Chloe Moretz as Carrie Kelly would be fantastic.

 

I actually thought about Jon Hamm but I settled on Campbell because in my eye he just looks like an aged Silver Age Superman come to life. But Hamm would be pretty perfect, especially in a few years.

 

If Campbell sorts out that voice, sure lol

Why a woman as the Joker?

I could definitely see Josh Brolin as this version of Superman but I also could see him as Batman.

 

Absolutely amazing cast. No to your Joker though.

The Joker : Anthony Head or Sacha Barron Cohen

Alfred : Ian McKellen or Matt Frewer
Dr. Wolper : Rob LaBelle

Ray Stevenson - Bruce Wayne/Batman
Saw this in another thread for the batman reboot, and while I didn't agree with it for that, I think he'd be a great older bruce for a live action DKR


Rory McCann -Mutant Leader


Kris Kristofferson - Commissioner Gordon


Jeff Bridges - Oliver Queen

alec baldwin would be my bats and willem dafoe would be my joker. what coulda happened in the late 80's can happen now.

liam neeson as clark?

 

Funnily enough I came in here to suggest him for Batman. With a little bit of age makeup he'd be perfect.

Elle Fanning: Carrie Kelly/Robin
Steve Buscemi: The Joker
Bryan Cranston: Harvey Dent
Daniel Day-Lewis: Clark Kent/Superman
Christopher Plummer: Alfred
Martin Sheen: Gordon
Jennifer Aniston: Yindel

There are alot of great picks

Here's my choice for Bruce Wayne/Batman: Christopher Noth

And I gotta say I love the idea of Bruce Campbell for Superman LoL that would be awesome.

 

They should just have Mark Hamill get into shape and play the Joker

 

Jed Hill for Bruce Wayne/Batman
