The Dark Knight Rises The Robin & Batgirl Casting Thread

katie leung - Cassandra Cain (Batgirl II)

Devon Aoki or Zhang Ziyi would be better IMO.

 

[elgato]

Ziyi is too damn old!

Cassandra wouldn't work as a kid. They'd need to establish her to be at least in the late teens and downgrade her abilities into being tough for Batman not super-human like they are in the comics.

 

[gwynplaine]

Ziyi is a Goddess.

 

[Changeling]

Ur mom's a godess...

No but seriously though, Devon Aoki and Ziyi are way too old. Katie Leung ftw.

Things change in adaptions. Being older wouldn't hurt Cass in the movies. There is no way Cass would be believable as a young kid with the skills she has to defeat Batman in combat.

The actresses I mentioned are both very talented and are convincing action heroes. The role would require actresses who can be serious warriors and do well in roles which don't rely on much talking. Ziyi's broken English could actually work for her in this or she just speak Chinese the rare times Cass talks.

Katie Leung ftw.

Why?

 

[Changeling]

Cuz Katie looks like Cassandra, and she's a good actress

[The Major]

Cuz Katie looks like Cassandra,

Looks mean nothing unless she can back it up.

Cassandra requires an actress with good action background, the ability to convey an intimidating presence and not speak very much. Aoki and Ziyi have spent their acting careers doing similar roles very well in movies.

and she's a good actress

Most of her work is a bit character in Harry Potter which has very little in common with Cassandra Cain.

She's still incredibly green. Cassandra is not an easy role especially for a young actress.

Gwynplaine:

Cho Chang in Harry Potter.

 

[gwynplaine]

^^^^Thank you.

 

[gwynplaine]

Grace Park, maybe.

 

[The Major]

Grace Park, maybe.

Park would be to old for Cass. Perfect for Shiva, though.

You're right, good call.

The adult robin is preyed upon by hawks, cats and larger snakes, so it would give a reason for bringin in Catwoman as well..

A film would be busy enough with Robin or Catwoman in it and whoever the main villain is. Having them all in it at once would make it very crowded.

I really dont know if this guy can act, but im pretty confident he looks the part..

If WB wants to go into the internet to find Robin, just like Journey found a new singer, then always turn to YouTube ha ha ha

i stumbled upon this video on youtube, i thought it was pretty cool. but it's tim drake, not dick. i would be totally okay with them skipping dick, and going straight to tim, but i dont know how the other fans think. well im pretty sure other fans just hate robin, lol. but i dont know for sure.

[chamber-music]

Tom Sturridge for Robin

[louiebling$]

He could pull of Dick Grayson but I think he fits Jason Todd alot more.
