Return of the Batman...

[Poindexter Arachnid]

Ha, ha! You guys crack me up.

(It has been confirmed to be a "versus" movie, btw).

So...what working actor would you choose to don the cowl for the Batman/Superman throwdown? I would choose Benedict Cumberbatch or Thomas Jane, personally.

Benedict Cumberbatch is too British to play Batman. No one will buy that.

I want Nicholas Cage to play Batman. But then, I want Nicholas Cage to star in most movies.

 

[Stigmata]

Out of all the names I've seen tossed around thus far, I'd say I'd most like to see Josh Brolin don the cowl. I've heard that Ryan Gosling has been shortlisted, which fills my head with unquantifiable levels of fuck.

 

[Julius_Van_Der_Beak]

Why don't we play a game? I name two actors, and you decide who would be a better Batman.

Jack Black or Ben Stiller.

 

[Poindexter Arachnid]

Well then, fuck that shit, bro. He can play Robin.

I want Nicholas Cage to play Batman. But then, I want Nicholas Cage to star in most movies.

Fuck that shit, too, bro. Nicolas Cage gotta be Gorilla Grodd.
And he can fight/kill/fuck the Plastic Man.

 

[Julius_Van_Der_Beak]

Nicolas Cage gotta be Gorilla Grodd.
And he can fight the Plastic Man.

Possibly.

How about Egg Fu in the Wonder Woman movie? His head is already sort of egg shaped. Vincent Price is not eggactly available.

I wonder why Joseph Gordon Levitt is not playing Batman...what I heard at the time of The Dark Knight Rises is that he was set up to carry on as Batman in any future movies.

That said, if there has to be a new Batman (serious superhero fatigue setting in), then it has to be Liev Schreiber.

Not a huge fan of comic book movies. Saw Batman on the title, I had to look it up. Saw Zach Snyder's name attached to it, lost interest.

I could go for Liev.

Makes a helluvalotta more sense than Ryan Gosling.
(No offense made toward Gosling, but... miscast. He's only there because he's a box-office draw.)

Also, most of the names dropped in this thread would be a terrible Bruce Wayne/Batman.

If you play Batman, I'll play Harley Quinn.

 

[Totenkindly]

I'm blonde too.

 

[Poindexter Arachnid]

Latest rumor is Orlando Bloom is the current frontrunner for the role.
Srsly.

Sorry, but that is fucking absurd.
(Yes, I swore.)

I mean, is this "Batman, The Gay Blade" or what?

This is how the conversation must've went.

Casting Director: "For this next film, we're looking for an older, more experience and mature interpretation of the Batman, Bruce Wayne characters."
Intern: "Alright, Great. I'll see if we can get Justin Beiber's people on the line."

 

[Poindexter Arachnid]

Justin Bieber vs. Bane is a movie I'd pay to see.
Hell, I'd even order the exorbitant pay-per-view event.

 

[EffEmDoubleyou]

Is this because he bears a resemblance to you?

I've never been told that or thought that. But I'll take it!

 

[EffEmDoubleyou]

Latest rumor is Orlando Bloom is the current frontrunner for the role.
Srsly.

Orlando Bloom can star in The Justin Timberlake Story. Until then, he can stay out of movies altogether.

As exhilarating as that fight would be, it would be even more exciting two days later to watch Bane crap out the remains.

 

[Ginkgo]

Christopher Nolan's adaption will probably not be rivaled, and in this specific case I've always found Batman and Superman cross-overs stupid.

This. Just considering the true canon of each story, a "vs." scenario would be laughably one sided. You'd basically have to recreate each character for it to be even remotely interesting, but it would still be even more cartoony than The Justice League, regardless of its live-action format.

I would be more interested to see a Nightwing or Robin project.

 

[Poindexter Arachnid]

As exhilarating as that fight would be, it would be even more exciting two days later to watch Bane crap out the remains.

Any and all Bane poop should be relegated to the DVD deleted scenes.

 

[Totenkindly]

Welp, that's that.
Say hi to the new Batguy.
