Commissioner Gordon informs Batman that the patients of Arkham Asylum have taken over the building, and will murder the staff unless Batman agrees to meet with them. Among the hostages is a young woman named Pearl (who works in the kitchens), Dr. Charles Cavendish (the current Administrator), and Dr. Ruth Adams (a therapist). The patients are led by The Joker, who kills a guard to spur Batman to obey his wishes. Two-Face, meanwhile, has degenerated even further into madness as a result of Adams' therapy; she replaced Two-Face's trademark coin with a six-sided die, and then with a tarot deck of cards, in the hope that he would begin to realize he doesn't need any of them. It instead renders him incapable of even making simple decisions such as going to the bathroom.
Batman is forced into a game of hide and seek, and told he has one hour to make his way through the maze-like corridors and find a way out before his old foes are sent to find him, but the Joker shortens the time from one hour (unbeknownst to Batman) due to pressure from the other inmates.
The story is interspersed with flashbacks to Arkham founder Amadeus Arkham's life and childhood. These flashbacks reveal that he was inspired to become a psychiatrist because of his mother's mental illness.
On his journey through Arkham, Batman encounters Clayface III, who is wasting away from an unspecified disease and who tries to infect Batman by touching him. (Morrison states in his script that Clayface will be perceived as “AIDS on two legs”.) Batman tears past, breaking Clayface's leg in the process, and flees, encountering a wheelchair-using Doctor Destiny. Batman incapacitates Destiny by pushing him down a flight of stairs. As he continues to venture through Arkham, he flees from the Scarecrow, the Mad Hatter and Maxie Zeus. Finally Batman comes face to face with Killer Croc, who grapples with the Dark Knight before throwing him out of a window. Batman lands on a roof, where he grabs onto the statue of an angel clasping a bronze spear, which he tears loose. Clutching the spear, Batman climbs back through the window and impales Croc before casting him out of the window.
Subsequently he reaches a secret room high in the towers of the asylum - a room left unchanged from the days when the property served as Amadeus Arkham's childhood home.
Inside, Dr. Cavendish is dressed in a bridal gown and holding a straight razor to Dr. Adams' throat. He is revealed to have been the one to orchestrate the riots. When questioned by Batman, he prompts him to read a passage marked out in Amadeus Arkham's secret diary.
The hidden room turns out to have been Elizabeth Arkham's bedchamber. For many years she suffered delusions that she was being tormented by a supernatural creature, and would call to her son to protect her. One day, however, he finally sees what his mother saw - a great bat, a spectre of death. Taking a pearl-handled straight razor from his pocket, he cuts his mother's throat to end her suffering. He then blocks out the memory, and attributes her death to suicide. Years later, his pregnant wife and daughter are raped, mutilated, and murdered by one of his former patients, a serial killer named Martin "Mad Dog" Hawkins. The tragedy brings back the memory of killing his mother.
Traumatized, Amadeus puts on his mother's wedding dress and takes out the pearl-handled razor. Kneeling in the blood of his family, he vows to bind the evil spirit of "The Bat", which he believes inhabits the house, through ritual and sorcery. He treats Hawkins for months until finally electrocuting him in a shock therapy session. He continues his mission even after he is incarcerated in the Asylum himself; he scratches the words of the binding spell into the walls and floor of his cell with his fingernails until the day he dies.
Discovering Amadeus Arkham's journals, the razor and the dress, Cavendish begins to believe himself to be destined to continue Arkham's work. On April 1, the date Arkham's family was murdered, he lures Batman to the asylum. Believing Batman to be "The Bat" itself, Cavendish accuses him of feeding the evil of the house by bringing it more insane souls. Grappling with Batman, Cavendish drops the razor, and Adams picks it up. As Batman is being strangled by Cavendish he begs her to "Do something!", and she slashes the razor across Cavendish's throat, killing him.
Seizing an axe, Batman runs to the foyer, where the inmates are congregated, and hacks down the front door. He then returns Two-Face's coin back from Dr. Adams, stating that it should be up to Two-Face to decide Batman's fate. Two-Face then declares that they will kill Batman if the coin lands scratched side up, but let him go if the unscarred side appears. Two-Face flips the coin and declares Batman free. The Joker bids Batman good-bye, taunting him by saying that should life ever become too much for him in "the asylum" (the outside world) then he always has a place in Arkham. As Batman disappears into the night, Two-Face stands looking at the coin and it is revealed that it landed scratched side up – he chose to let Batman go. He then turns to the stack of tarot cards and recites a passage from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: "Who cares for you? You're nothing but a pack of cards."
Tom hardy as Batman
The superhero Batman is the crime-fighting Dark Knight of Gotham City. He is often characterized as a brooding and tortured soul struggling to come to terms with losing his parents so early on in life. His secret identity is multi-billionaire Bruce Wayne, owner of a huge multinational conglomerate, WayneCorp.
I don’t know why people keep casting him as deadshot (cough “LEEE777” cough) LOL me Too I cast him as deadshot while ago but after watching inception I know he stole the show Thought I loved him he give vibration of batman I think he would great job he seems like A good looking rich playboy guy while he ripped off from gym …
The only two I kept them:
Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon:
Jim Gordon was transferred back to the city after spending more than fifteen years in Chicago. A man of integrity, Gordon found that his only ally against the mob-controlled administration was the Batman. One of the most significant differences in this version is that Batman is never deputized and Gordon's relationship with him is kept out of the public eye whenever possible. It was also added that he was a Special Forces veteran who is capable in hand-to-hand combat. He is depicted as having an extra-marital affair with a fellow detective, Sarah Essen, due to friction in his marriag
All da way
michael caine as Alfred Pennyworth
Alfred has been the Wayne family butler all of Bruce's life, and had helped his master establish his superhero career from the beginning. In addition he was Bruce's legal guardian following the deaths of his parents.
all da way
amanda righetti as oracle
A new Batgirl—Barbara "Babs" Gordon, the daughter of Batman supporting character Police commissioner James Gordon -- debuted in Detective Comics #359 (cover-dated January 1967, but released in November 1966). In her debut, Gordon is on her way to a masquerade ball dressed as a female version of Batman when she disrupts a kidnapping attempt on Bruce Wayne by the villainous Killer Moth. This attracts the attention of Batman and leads to her establishing a crime-fighting career. This new character, jointly created by Editor Julius Schwartz, artist Carmine Infantino and author Gardner Fox, was a collaboration between DC Comics and the Batman television series of the late 1960s which aired on ABC. When television producer William Dozier sought to renew the Batman program for a third season, he asked Schwartz for a new female character to be introduced in the comic book medium, which could be adapted into the television series in order to attract a female audience. The new version of Batgirl was written as an adult, having earned a doctorate in library science and maintaining a career as head of Gotham City Public Library.
now these is a hard choice I have to make Barbara history is so long and complicated as we know Barbara is that geeky girl the girl with next door beauty well Amanda offers that she seems close to oracle did you ever seen the mentalist she play kind of geek playing with computer and she was serious at the same time not too much serious she can easily convince you that she can be good girl and bad girl she is not really good IMO actress but I can stand her
crispin glover as the joker
Through his comic book appearances, the Joker is portrayed as a master criminal whose characterization has varied from that of a violent psychopath to a goofy trickster-thief. He is the archenemy of Batman, having been directly responsible for numerous tragedies in Batman's life, including the paralysis of Barbara Gordon, and the death of Jason Todd, the second Robin.
I believe that someone already suggest this guy did you see Charlie angels and alice in wonderland this guy one of mysterious guy ever and I don’t why people cast joseph Gordon levitt her might be look like heath but ledger never look like as joker to me the joker is this skinny crazy guy and crispin offers that in Charlie angels and hell yeah he would be perfect
fairuza balk as Harley Quinn
Dr. Harleen Quinzel was an intern at Arkham Asylum, very much interested in the criminally insane. As she worked, the Clown Prince of Crime researched her name which intrigued his mad mind. As he put it, “It’s a name that puts a smile on my face!” He lures Harley into his fiendish trap by telling her stories of an abusive father, runaway mother and overall an awful childhood. After spending time with the silver tongued Joker she falls madly in love and runs off to a costume shop where she steals a Harlequin costume and other accessories which allow her to free the Joker from his padded cell. Finding herself obsessed to the point of insanity, Dr. Quinzel, once a brilliant psychologist, is now a villainous side-kick named Harley Quinn. She often refers to the Joker as "Puddin'."
Batman Confidential suggests that they met in a bar before he became the Joker. She also claimed to be the Joker’s girlfriend until he tried to kill her in Batman 663 and later told the Riddler that she and the Joker were through. The Joker is not really interested in her, and he tried to replace her as a henchgirl in Joker's Millions. Harley has also been seen in a partnership with Poison Ivy. The Joker is not pleased with Harley Quinn being seen on the news riding with Bruce Wayne (a disguised Hush), and wants her dead. This is now revealed to have been an old Joker sidekick named Gaggy.
I think our dorthy from oz has grown up to play psycho maniac I cast zoey deschanel a while ago byt after seen her in other work I think she is just a bad rip of her sister LOL!! Fairuza would be beyond perfect did you ever see American history her emotional range is incredible her act make your blood oil can’t believe some one didn’t pic her she is perfect and her is most suited for character and her smile end up this conversation
Johnny Depp or David Tennant as the riddler:
The Riddler is obsessed with riddles, puzzles, and word games. He delights in forewarning both Batman and the police of his capers by sending them complex clues. With this self-conscious use of a gimmick, the Riddler's crimes are flamboyant and ostentatious. The character is often depicted as wearing a domino mask either with a green suit and bowler hat, or a green jumpsuit. A black or purple question mark serves as his visual motif. Since the animated series and the film Batman Forever, Riddler often carries a trick "question mark" cane.
To be honest thought either of two can be great both of them possess an pyscho personality I never watch dr who and this day while I watching English tv show I found him he is so greatAnd I sad what after I check his IMDB I found him in harry potter 4 I didn’t recognize him and he more than villainous he was great Johnny is just a pic to please LEE777 jk
Javier Bardem as Bane.
Bane was born in the fictional Caribbean Republic of Santa Prisca, in a prison called Peña Duro ("Hard Rock"). His father had been a revolutionary and had escaped Santa Prisca's court system. The corrupt government however decreed that his young son would serve out the man's life sentence, and thus Bane's childhood and early adult life are spent in the amoral penitentiary environment. Though imprisoned, his natural abilities allow him to develop extraordinary skills within the prison's walls. He reads as many books as he can get his hands on, builds up his body in the prison's gym, and learns to fight in the merciless school of prison life. Despite his circumstances, he finds teachers of various sorts during his incarceration, ranging from hardened convicts to an elderly Jesuit priest, under whose tutelage he apparently receives a classical education. Bane murders this priest upon his return to Santa Prisca years later. However, he commits his first murder at the age of eight, stabbing a criminal who wanted to use him to gain information about the prison. During his years in prison, Bane carries a teddy bear he calls Osito (Spanish for "little bear"), whom he considers his only friend. It is revealed that Osito has a hole in his back to hold a knife that Bane uses against anyone who bullies him.
I AM NOT REALLY STOLING IDEA FROM OTHER CAST THIS IS WAS MY FIRST CAST EVER I JUST LOVE TO SEEM JAVIER AS BANE HE IS GREAT ACTOR WITH LITTLE BIT OF FAKE MUSCLE AND GCI AND HERE YOU GO YOU GOT BANE AND I DON’T IF WE SHOULD WERSTLER WE NEED SOME ONE CAN ACT AND HAD A EMOTIONAL RANGE …
CILLIAN MURPHY AS Scarecrow
The Scarecrow is Dr. Jonathan Crane, a professor of psychology and expert in the psychology of fear, who turns to crime after being fired due to his eccentric behavior and appearance. His modus operandi is the adoption of a Scarecrow persona, used to threaten his victims into doing whatever he wants.
The Scarecrow uses a variety of toxins that cause his victims to hallucinate that their phobias have come to life. He wears his Scarecrow mask to enhance the effect of the hallucinogen (instilling fear in all who see him) as well as to avoid being poisoned by his own toxin. Although physically unintimidating, Scarecrow can resort to physical combat, uses a style called "violent dancing", based partly on the crane style of kung fu and on drunken boxing.
The Scarecrow is an expert on psychology, with a focus on fear, and is a certified professor on the subject. His mastery of fear is such that the yellow power ring of Amon Sur tried to seek him out at Arkham after its masters death, though it was stopped before reaching him.
NO DOUBT HE MADE MY DAY AS Scarecrow
LIAM NEESON AS Ra's Al Ghul
Ra’s al Ghul was born 700 years ago in a tribe of nomads in one of the Arabian deserts. Ra's believes humanity is lost to corruption and dreams of purging it of its sins. He has used several kinds of violence in his pursuit of "justice" including vigilantism, terrorism, and assassination.
HE DID Goo D JOB
bridget regan or Christina Hendricks AS Poison Ivy
Poison Ivy (Pamela Lillian Isley) is depicted as one of the world's most prominent eco-terrorists. She is obsessed with plants, botany, and environmentalism. She uses toxins from plants and her own bloodstream for her criminal activities, which are usually aimed at protecting the natural environment. Fellow villain Harley Quinn is her recurring partner-in-crime and possibly her only human friend.
The dangerous experiments placed a deliberate overdose of plant and animal based toxins into her blood stream that make her touch deadly and allowed her to boost her immunity to all poisons, viruses, bacteria, and fungi. This immunity also includes Joker venom.Some comics have even gone so far as to depict her as more plant than human, breathing CO2 and requiring sunlight to survive.
Ivy's body produces pheromones that make people susceptible to mind control around her, although strong-minded people like Batman are usually capable of resisting. She was even once able to control Superman with the use of kryptonite.
Bridget WAS MY PIC AGES AGO SHE SCREAM AS POISIN IVY DID YOU SAW legend of seeker HERE CHARACTER WAS RESMBLENCE OF POISIN IVY I mean dr poisin ivy SHE LOOK LIKE THE CHARACTER SHE GOT THE IMO FOR CHARACTER SO WHY NOT or Christina Hendricks if you didn’t like bridget
James franco as Creeper
Jack was curious about a stem cell project and decided to check it out himself. After finding the back entrance to the lab he was injected with the new chemical created by Dr. Yatz which transformed him. Turning his hairred and green, his skin yellow and giving him a grin was just the beginning of the metamorphosis. For, Jack had also been given a split personality. When Mr. Ryder becomes the Creeper, Jack can speak to the Creeper and vice versa. He is currently a member of the Outsiders.
Now these pic must be spot on, we all know Franco one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood Thought he can be a good joker but for not let down other members I kept him for creeper I saw LEE777 one cast him and I loved it he all insane person and his smile just give the vibe of creeper and his good actor and will be suited in these small roll
Firefly August Diehl

Robin williams as Ventriloquist and Scarface
A meek, quiet man, Arnold Wesker (the first Ventriloquist) plans and executes his crimes through a dummy named Scarface, with the dress and persona of a 1920s gangster, complete with pinstripe suit, cigar, and Tommy gun. His name comes from the nickname of Al Capone after whom Scarface is modeled.
Born into a powerful Mafia Family, Wesker developed Dissociative Identity Disorder (incorrectly referred to as Multiple Personality Disorder) after seeing his mother murdered by an assassin from a rival Family. Growing up, his only outlet is ventriloquism.
The Ventriloquist has no superhuman powers and is not a good hand-to-hand combatant. He is a skilled ventriloquist and his Scarface persona is a skilled criminal strategist. The Ventriloquist usually has a handgun of some kind, whilst Scarface carries his trademark tommy gun.
robin has shown a lot interest for batman series He showed that he could play creepy villains in Insomina and One Hour Photo. And he act so strongly and speechless character I think he would be perfect for role
colm feore as MR.freeze:
Post-Crisis, Freeze was revamped utilizing Paul Dini's backstory. Dr. Victor Fries is an expert molecular biologist. As a child, he is fascinated by freezing animals. His parents, horrified by his "hobby", send him to a strict boarding school, where he is miserable, feeling detached from humanity. In college, he meets a woman named Nora, whom he falls in love with and ultimately marries.
Nora later falls terminally ill. Fries takes on a job working for a large company run by the ruthless Ferris Boyle. Fries discovers a way to put Nora into cryo-stasis (using company equipment without permission), and places her in that state hoping to sustain her until a cure could be found. Boyle finds out about the experiment and attempts to have her brought out of cryo-stasis, overruling Fries' frantic objections. A struggle ensues, in which Boyle kicks Freeze into a table full of chemicals and leaves him for dead. Fries survives, but his body temperature is lowered dramatically due to mutations triggered by the chemicals; he can now only live at subzero temperatures and is thus forced to wear a special refrigerating suit to stay alive. As Mr. Freeze, he uses cryonic technology to create a gun, which fires a beam that freezes any target within its range.
His first act as a costumed criminal is to take revenge upon Boyle, a plan with which Batman interferes. Mr. Freeze fires his freeze-gun at Batman, but he dodges, causing the beam to shatter Nora's capsule. Freeze bla

Mickey Rourke as Basil Karlo: I saw this pic in some cast and it stuck in my head
timothy Spall mad hatter:
Jervis Tetch is fascinated with hats of all shapes and sizes, as well as the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, particularly favoring the chapter 'A Mad Tea Party'. According to Dr. Blakloch of Arkham Asylum: Jervis is a paranoid schizophrenic...And he's obsessive-compulsive, and highly delusional. He's got an immature self-image, so he identifies more with children than adults. Oh and he's a genius, too.
While the Mad Hatter has no inherent superpowers, he is a brilliant neurotechnician with considerable knowledge on how to dominate and control the human mind, either through hypnosis or direct technological means. Usually, the Hatter places his mind control devices in the brims of hats, but has been known to utilize other devices as well. More recently, he has been able to directly influence the minds of others at a distance without any apparent equipment. However, this is most likely not a newly-emerging metahuman ability; more likely, his skill at miniaturizing and concealing technology, and advances upon his original technology, have probably allowed him to develop technology that permits him to use a device hidden upon his person (such as in his hat) to project mindcontrolling powers in the manner of a meta-human ability such as telepathic powers.
seriously you need to rent harry potter this guy is mad hatter excellent choice for role
Kevin Grevioux as killer croc :
Waylon Jones was born with a condition resembling epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, a disfiguring skin disorder. However, it is actually a form of regressive atavism, meaning that he has inherited traits of ancestral species of the human race, such as reptiles. This condition has been augmented by the presence of a metagene. Consequently, he has several extraordinary physical abilities relating to his endurance, strength, and speed.
His skin is hardened to the degree that it is nearly impenetrable to ordinary forms of abrasion including high caliber weapons fired from a distance. He possesses a degree of super strength; for example, he was able to tear a bank vault door off of its hinges with minimal effort. He has demonstrated regenerative powers allowing him to heal and restore lost limbs and teeth. He possesses superhuman reflexes and speed, especially while he is moving underwater. Killer Croc also has an enhanced sense of smell.
i love this cast kevin is unknown actors and undderrated who has the body built for role sure killer croc is 11 feet but with GCI we can solve that problem and I am too lazy to make my own picture so I took leee777
TIM BOOTH AS victor zsasz :
Victor Zsasz was the head of his own intergovernmental company and had amassed a large personal fortune in addition to his family's wealth. At the age of 25 his parents died in a boating accident, sending him into a deep depression. He turned to gambling, losing money in competitions around the world. One night, he ended up in a Gotham City casino, where he gambled everything he owned and ended up losing it all to the Penguin; afterwards he saw that his life was empty, driven by desire, and there was no point to his existence. While he was attempting to commit suicide by jumping from Gotham Bridge, a homeless man tried to assault him with a knife after he refused to give him money. Instinctively grabbing the knife, Zsasz saw in the man's eyes that all life is meaningless and that nothing nor anyone matters. He then proceeded to stab the man to death as a "gift" for saving his life. From then on, he dedicated himself to "liberating" others from their pointless existence (Zsasz often refers to victims as "zombies"). He usually preys on young women, but has no qualms over whom he murders. He slits his victims' throats and leaves them in lifelike poses, adding a tally mark to himself each time. He has been diagnosed as insane and is regularly incarcerated in Arkham Asylum courtesy of Batman, breaking out on occasion to carry on killing.
ben foster would be great as victor but it would be wast of his talent he deserve role like joker or even the riddler but I want tim o play the character because he is unknown and victor a character don’t demand a-list
For a cameo the The Penguin
Penguin is a short, rotund man known for his love of birds and his specialized high-tech umbrellas. A mobster-type criminal, he fancies himself a "gentleman of crime." His nightclub business provides a cover for more low-key criminal activity, which Batman tolerates as a source of underworld information. According to co-creator Bob Kane, the character was inspired from the then advertising mascot of Kool cigarettes which was a penguin with a top hat and cane.
Eddie marsan is one of underrated actor in Hollywood a superb actor he always play small part in movie he was in gangs of new york and v for venerate and among other project thought his little bit tall for penguin but with Hollywood magic he can be short I love bob Hoskins but I also love eddie This guy is fantastic. Having just seen him in Happy-Go-Lucky I must say that I think he's completely different from practically any other actor working today and as a result incredibly watchable. As good as the entire film was, I kept waiting for his utterly loathesome yet massively compelling character to appear again. Perhaps an entire film dealing with such a character would be too much, and the point was to contrast him with Sally Hawkins' wonderfully life-affirming lead character, yet I still almost wish we'd seen more of him.
TANK GIRL I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE CAST LEAVE COMMENT AND
THE COMMENT IS A MUST
