Crush Casts Batman's Badguys

u know u have some good ideas, but i have said in the past i dont know what the big deal is with rosario dawson. also steve buscemi and viggo as though characters dont seem to work for me. I mean i like buscemi, he does have that look of sinisterness but i have to give that role to depp. like he is perfect for it. and as far as joker i dont think there can be anyone to replace what heath did. i mean viggo just doesnt have the same look as heath did and it will be hard to accept him anytime soon as the joker. maybe in like 5 more movies we can get a new person to take over but if they have him as a main character in the next movie it will be pretty hard to accept whoever is casted. i do really like ur idea of Brock Lesnar as Bane (even though i think Brock is a complete tool and does not deserve the heavy weight title). and i really like Megan Fox as Harley just because i would like to see Megan Fox more on the screen since she is sexy as hell. and also i like ur croc pick of kevin grevioux. so keep up the good work and we will have to see how the joker is casted.

Crush, i actually have to commend you on a few of your choices here :)

Rosario Dawson would be a kick ass Catwoman. She might not be the hottest thing on two legs but i still find her hot. She's a good actress as well and would do the part justice after the berry fiasco.

You're best cast is by far Jason Schwartzman as Penguin! I think he'd be perfect and i honestly couldn't give a shit of his age. It would actually demonstrate his superior intelect which can't be taught and would also explain how he got to be where he is.

Doug Jones would be the perfect Man-Bat! Jeffrey Dean Morgan would of course be a stellar pick for deadshot! Kevin Grevioux as Killer Croc is a given!

I'm not really found of Emily Blunt, which is why i'm not to ecstatic about her being Black Widow but she would actually be a waaayyy better poison ivy! Very good call on that one!!!

As much as i love Mickey Rourke, it would all depend on where they would go with Clayface's character. If they go with the "naturally disfigured actor" then he'd be the best pic possible. If they go with the "Aged and washed up actor (like the animated series)", Terry O'Quinn would be the best possible pick.

Penguin's age doesn't matter but Black Mask's does. He was actually Bruce's childhood friend and would have to at least look like he's in the same generation as the actor who plays Batman. Brody's a good actor and could pull it off but they would have to make him look the part. You wanted to leave it up to me and here it is! BATMAN should be played by none other than ADRIAN PASDAR! But this isn't the place to debate it. If you guys are interested, here's the link where you can do that as well as debate the rest of the Justice League:

Brock is just god awfull and no matter how "big" he is, he never looks menacing enough. His idea of a menacing face is "i need to take a crap bad!!!". He's good enough for the ring but in a movie, facial expressions are a must! I honestly can't see anyone else than Nathan Jones as Bane!

Viggo is the most talented actor up there and if someone can pull off a version of the Joker we've never seen, Viggo can!!! It is waaayyy to soon to even consider him but he's none the less a great pic.

Your worst pic in all of this is Meagan Fox. She has NOTHING to offer this character!!! Harley should be just as deranged as Joker! Fox has yet to crack a different "emotion" or facial expression than what you actually see on the picture above. So never in a million years is Fox ever qualified to be Harley! The best possible pic for Harley is hands down Brittany Murphy. Think "Shelly" in Sin City but with a grin and a deranged sense of humour!!!

I've already been over the "riddler" issue waaayy too many times so i won't go there. All i can say is that i love Buscemi but he'd make a way better VENTRILOQUIST than Riddler. In fact, there simply isn't another actor out there that could do the ventriloquist's role justice more than Buscemi. Well...as second best: Michael Emerson.

As for Mr. Freeze, of course Crispin Glover could do the job as well as any other actor i can name. There are waaayy too many actors out there that can actually play that part. It doesn't require much. Which makes it even more pathetically and idiotically outstanding to see that Schumaker was able to cast the only actor out there that actually CAN'T play the part!!! Which brings me to simple "suggestions" for the role as none of them would eclipse the others's performances. Arnold... wait for it damn it... Vosloo (Mummy/Hard Target) or maybe even Bruce Payne (highlander endgame/D&D).

All in all, great pics Crush :))

Crush i love all of your pics except Lesner and Blunt. I know Bane wouldnt really be a main villain but hes still a very smart articulate guy so he would have to do some talking, unlike shitmackers version and Brock has a very high girly voice..and is crap! Blunt may be a good actress but iv never seen her in anything so i can only comment on her looks..there not great! I just think Poison ivy should be sexy as hell..i actually liked Uma Thurmans version..in the looks department only of course!
My fave pic of yours is Rosario as Catwoman, i think that chick is one of the hottest things to come out of hollywood and is a great actress too

That's why I said '...As long as he's relegated to a secondary character and not given a lot of acting/lines to do...' (think Triple H in 'Blade 3'). Of course you all are right - Bane is much more than just a juiced thug, so to put the character in as overblow scenery (and to rehash him in a 'Shumacher' way) would be silly. Sorry CRUSH, Lesnar's gotta' go...

I'd have to say that if they take it that far into the Batman characters.....they might as well bring back Joel Schumacher to [frick] it up all over again. On a side note, I think Crispin Glover would make an awsome Riddler. I originaly thought that he would have made a perfect Joker....then Heath got it and ran with it, thank god. Crispin Glover has made a career out of playing these intelligent silent psychos that are internaling combusting in some form or another. I mean have you seen the remake of Willard?...come on, after seeing it, dont tell me he would'nt nail the Riddler part.

Yes zinext, i would have a problem with Berry in any part that isn't drama related. She couldn't play crazy even if she actually was. She just might be though, after pulling off her X-fiasco. "Oooh, i'm a woman and i'm black and i demand a bigger role!"... Then she gets one in X3, screwes the whole franchise up, then she gets an even bigger one which was Catwoman and look how that turned out. I don't have much against Halle herself, bottom line is EVERY single actor should stick to what they do best. She's a Drama Queen and she doesn't belong anywhere near comic book movies. And she always brings "overhype" with her, everywhere she goes which is highly destructive to a franchise. Remember the huge deal about her tits in Swordfish??? Man was that ever disapointing. The only good part in that movie was Hugh telling her that she was [frick]ing up his "Chi". And now she said not too long ago how she's greatly sexually experienced thanks to all the men that entered her life... The hell are you telling us that for??? What, you want the role for "Basic Instinct 3" now??? Go ahead, take it, who the hell cares anyway.

Im not saying that Crispin Glover will portray the Riddler as shit crazy. But as dark and methodical. Secretive. Mysterious.

Hmmmm... I could see that. It'd be a refreshing change of pace for the big Question Mark.

Actually, not only do i think that Nolan's days are numbered, but they're done! I can't prove it yet but i have the feeling that as an artist, Nolan would rather end it with a bang (TDK) than risk his idiotic 3rd chapter curse and reputation. The rumours were all debunked by Goyer himslef. There is no such 3rd chapter in production. And DC/WB tells us that there are a full slate of them in production. Now what does that tell you? Nolan's not THAT attached to Batman's character. He'd rather leave it up to someone else and he sure as hell won't allow DC/WB to pressure him, as they are actually doing as we speek, ironically enough...

If you remember they tried to do the same thing to Tim Burton. And he said no way/no thank you. As a result..they tried to take it in another direction...and failed. They are not going to repeat the same mistake. It wont matter who the director is... Nolan or someone new. The franchise will stay on track with the vision of "realism" with the series. Im telling you the negotiations are over money and trying to retain Nolan for future movies...not that they want him to take the franchise down another silly path.....again. And never forget people....money talks and bullshit walks. Nolan WILL direct a third movie if the deal and the price is right!!!

BigHeadSarge- Gylenhall wouldn't be a convincing Riddler. Batista can't act. He's as good as HHH and CENA which really isn't flatering. Anybody can act angry, doesn't require much talent. Which is the single reason why the earlier Bane sucked. All he was was angry. No wrestler will do. And like i said above, there are ALOT of talented actors that can pull off Mr. Freeze. Stewart would be too old for the role. Bald is an easy fit to fill.

agentend- I know, that's exactly what they did to Burton and THEY ARE DOING IT AGAIN!!! You say they aren't when they obviously are! They are that stupid until proven otherwise. There are only three outcomes to this conflict. 1- They drop Nolan and go another way with the character to fit him in JLA and the DCU. 2- Nolan sticks around and DC/WB takes out Batman from JLA and replace him with someone stupid like Aquaman or Hawkman. 3- Same option as the second one but without Nolan as he would just refuse to be pressured and would get replaced by a young unknown director, with no creative liberties, but to follow exactly what the studio tells him to do. Either way, i prefer the first because i'm a fan even though that's the last thing that Batman's franchise needs after TDK!!! Reality's a bitch!

Good point!

yeah alot people said that the way depp played willie wonker reminded them of the riddler which is probally why he's the front runner for the role? personally the third film has got to have someone like the pengiun who can run for mayor (and win) and then hire someone like deadshot or bane to hunt down and kill batman! with the city now completely against batman. it looks bleak for the batman

Well Burnslee, i personally feel that Riddler should be a mix of Depp's role in "Once apon a squat in Mexihole" and "The Secret Window". Both those performances were breath taking and mixed together would make the prefect Riddler. Not to mention, keeping anything and everything "chocolate factory" related the [frick] AWAY from the Riddler's portrayal.

Shaman, from seeing your comments on a few different threads, I realize that you are pretty much the casting guru around here, and respect your grounded opinion on this type of subject. That being said, you shot down 3 out of my 5, but didn't comment on the other two. Does that mean they meet your approval? Did those two spitballs stick to the wall?

Definitely BigHeadSarge! I love Seymour :))

Rachel McAdams would be a good catwoman too but i feel she'd be a better Andrea Beaumont/Phantasm. I'd prefer Carla Gugino as Catwoman myself. Think of her role in Sin City but in tight black latex!!!

But yeah, i'd be thrilled with both your pics here :))

Freeze is pretty much how ever old you want him to be. He's pretty much a cryogenicly frosen man who's actually walkin around LOL. BUT, he also needs to have the physical ability to go toe to toe with Batman. That ain't up Stewart's alley. Like i posted above:

"As for Mr. Freeze, of course Crispin Glover could do the job as well as any other actor i can name. There are waaayy too many actors out there that can actually play that part. It doesn't require much. Which makes it even more pathetically and idiotically outstanding to see that Schumaker was able to cast the only actor out there that actually CAN'T play the part!!!

you cant replace heath ledger

still you geeks whining about this sh!t? fcuk come on guys whine about something else this fcukin shit is useless...

brittany murphy as harley quinn....

and megan fox would actually be a really hot poison ivy, too young tho i'd think

Rawshark, I can't believe nobody else thinks that Mickey Rourke as Clayface was an awesome pick. lol
it works on so many levels.
