Justice League The Justice League Casting Thread - Part 4

I meant to post these too.

Katie Perry, Zoe Dechanel, and Emily Blunt

It doesn't spit on anything unless you bring him back to gotham under the cowl or have Bruce return to his brooding nature, addicted to the Batman because of his parents, or Rachel or whatever. That's the only way it spits on it. And they have to address Blake. That's it.

Otherwise these are comments coming from people on here who are too stubborn to think of the MANY ways you can do this.

For all you doubters, I suggest going on Jett's Batman On Film site (even if you don't like the guy) and listening to his long podcast. He and the other guy were just like you but now they're opening their minds and are excited about it. But like me, they still think Nolan has explaining to do and they need to address a couple of characters.

I too believe that Bale is a mistake but I understand that I am in the minority. I like TDK movies but I am not particularly fond of that incarnation of Batman or the Nolanverse in general. I don't want Man of Steel to be mixed in with that universe at all. One with Robin Blake (doesn't even exist in comics) and all these villains that are just knock offs because they needed to be grounded. Like Bane just being some random big guy.

My Number 1 choice for Batman would definitely be Michael Fassbender. Hands down better than Bale. However that would never happen so my number one realistic choice at this point would be probably Luke Evans, but only because I can't think of anyone else. I'll hold judgement to see how well he does in FF6

Why does everyone think that just because they have the same actor that it must take place in the same universe? I'm just curious.

There's like a ten year age differemce between Cavill and Bale. I almost objected to someone suggesting Fassbender for Batman but he is actually younger than Bale by like 4 years or something. Go figure. Thought he'd be older.

It's familiarity and association. After coming off the most sucessful Batman movies to date. Don't you think people will also expect the rest of the cast: Freeman, Hathaway, Caine and Oldman to be called back if their characters are needed on screen?
Bale's return just poses too many questions that I would care to be explained in a JL movie. And the TDK trilogy was definitely a separate universe that I wouldn't want tied into!

Batman was always older than Superman.

No. Why? It's not a Batman movie and probably won't even be inside Gotham...

Freeman, Caine or Hathaway may have a cameo but I don't think people should expect it. That's their problem if they do. A cameo never hurt just like a Lois Lane cameo or Iris cameo or a Pepper cameo in Avengers doesn't hurt.

And it doesn't pose too many questions. Just a couple and it would make for a more compelling story IMO.

Batman was always older than Superman.

Wrong.

Someone posted about this earlier.

In the original continuity, they were the same age. In the post-Crisis continuity, Superman was 2 years older, and in current continuity, Batman is 3 years older.

They've always been within 2-3 years of each other. Not that has to hold true in the films (Captain America and Iron Man are roughly the same physical age in the comics, but the actors who play them on film have a 16 year age difference.) Still, you should always check your facts, even if your grandmother tells you.

Who cares?

 

[shauner111]

Would be great if it wasn't for Kate Beckinsale for WW. That casting would make me roll my eyes for the rest of eternity. Good God no! Emily Blunt 100 %.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Batman was always older than Superman.

How so? I always thought they were about the same age. Maybe a year's difference if that.

Wrong.

Thank you!

This guy!

 

[Sub-Zero]

If anything supermans older. He just looks younger. In the new 52 I think batman is in his mid 30s and superman is 27

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Batman is 30 in the New 52 (officially) and Superman is 27/8.

In the film franchises, Superman is always 25, while Batman has been much older (like 35 or more).

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

Are Thor and Stark supposed to be 20 years apart?

If not, then that proves the point that nobody cares.

 

[shauner111]

Yeah what does it matter

 

[Travesty]

if she was'nt so tiny i would love Evangeline Lilly for WW lol

I came here just to suggest her.

Thanks for all the comments. Sorry, I edited my original post below. I did mean TDKR and not TDK, but the TDK series as a whole.

As much as I would like to see Bale in a JL film I still think that it would be contradictory to the world Nolans/Goyer established. Also, I wouldn't want Bale in the film just to satisfy fans or because the studios wanted to make more money and capitalize off of TDK series' success.

I think that TDK films and MOS/JL films should be treated as different universes and that there shouldn't be a cross dimensional thing where MOS is able to enter TDK's universe and form the JL that way.

A new Batman that can spinoff into a new series closer to the comics tone is what I would like to see.

 

[7heBoss]

Why does everyone think that just because they have the same actor that it must take place in the same universe? I'm just curious.

of course everyone is going to automatically assume they are connected if you use the same actor. It would be like if they had cast Routh for MOS, it would be a cause for confusion.
if they are truly going to be unassociated with TDK than they might as well take this opportunity to find a new actor that would be able to continue the series

 

[aNarcHy2day]

What's wrong with you people???

I came into the thread- opening on this particular page... the first post had Katy Perry as WW!!!

I panicked... I hit "page 18"...

...the first post had Katy Perry as WW!!!


Man... the shock!

 

[Midnight Black]

Hey those breast are WW material any day. If all these guys want Gosling, Cooper, and Gylenhaal...and Bale then I'm willing to let Katy Perry be a contender on breast alone.

I already see MOS in the same universe as Bale's trilogy anyway so it doesn't bother me one bit. "Earth" is the same and the approach to characters are the same, made by the same people.

There is nothing contradictory in my opinion. It's rather simple. If aliens visited our planet tomorrow and they weren't what the movies were like (creatures, etc) but more like our very own human race. Only advanced.

Heck, Gotham and Metropolis are fictional cities and in both series' they look like normal American cities. Chicago, New York. They're both filmed there.

For crying out loud, I believe in extra-terrestrial life and with the recent news that astrobiologists found fossils in the meteorite that fell last year, which is leading them to believe that there's life out there in space. It doesn't seem far off does it?

Both exist in some hyper-reality...I don't see a need to separate Man Of Steel's universe with The Dark Knight's. There's far too many similarities between the two that outweigh the rest.

 

[Midnight Black]

So the fact that Nolans/Goyer worked so hard to "ground" Batman and make characters as close to real life as possible, you do not find contrary to MOS' alien invasion and a superhero with super powers?

Also, so you would rather have Bale come back for MOS2 or a World's Finest or JL films and THEN reintroduce a new Batman series after that rather than using JL as a launching pad for a new Batman?

Idc if Nolan and Snyder said that MOS would be more "real" in tone and realistic that still doesn't mean to me that it will be real like TDK series. It's superman for crying out loud. Yeah sure there probably won't be freeze guns and stuff, but it's still going to be out there. Yeah, I bet the emotions, reactions and situations will be more "real" than seen in previous Superman films, but it still doesn't mean that the two worlds are the same, especially after what was seen and established in TDK series.

Sorry, I just think it would be contradictory and that they should just go with a new Batman for the JL movie and not try to please fans or milk the success TDK franchise just to make extra money.

As much as I like AVP, Freddy vs. Jason and AVP2 doesn't mean I want the same to happen with JL. At least those films through easter eggs about each other's existence long before they did a cross over.
