Batman Beyond live-action Fan-Cast

Batman Beyond live-action Fan-Cast

Being that Batman Beyond is one of my favorite cartoons, and that I've wanted a live-action version to be made for a long time, I thought I'd share my thoughts on who should star in what would be an ALL-TIME EPIC film...

Steven R. McQueen as Terry McGinnis/Batman

I think McQueen (yes, related to that Steve McQueen) would be an awesome Terry McGinnis. I'm familiar with his work on The Vampire Diaries and he seems like a great fit for the role.


Micheal Keaton as Bruce Wayne

Now, I know what you're thinking: "But Saint, HE ISN'T THAT OLD, YOU STUPID [frick]ER!" True. While Mr. Keaton is not actually as old as is required of the role, we would all love to see him back in the role as the best Bruce Wayne out of all the films. And I have a solution to the age problem: HE'S A [frick]ING ACTOR! HE CAN ACT OLD AND DISGRUNTLED AND MEAN AND ALL THAT AND WEAR MAKE-UP TO MAKE HIM LOOK OLDER! Seriously guys, it's like you don't even think these things through... *disappointed*


Jamie Lee Curtis as Commissioner Barbra Gordon

I really think she could play the cold-hearted hard-ass Gordon needs to be if given the chance. I really like her acting and it would be interesting to see her in this role.

Morena Baccarin as Inque

This role calls for CGI... ALL CGI. I know, I try to avoid CGI as much as possible because of how fakey and plasticy it looks. But look at Inque when you watch Batman Beyond; she's this inky/plasticy-looking character that would totally look realistic in CGI. But you need an actress to bring that CGI mess to life. Morena's likeness, movement captures, and voice could be lent to the character when she's rendered in post. And I think she would be a great choice for the role.

Jason Isaacs as Derek Powers/Blight

Okay, I know he keeps being type-cast as the bad guy... but come on, look at him! He's a great actor, and a great menacing role-player when he needs to be... This role would be half-real, half-CGI. Because Blight's bright green x-ray skeletal glow could easily be achieved in a non-fake looking way through the power of CGI.

As for Terry's girlfriend, Dana, and his mother and younger brother, I have no idea who could play those roles. If you have any suggestions and reasons why you think your choices are good, I'll update my article with your contribution.

Cast your thoughts below! ...or don't, I don't care. :-P

My very first fancast was a Batman Beyond one and I used the same choices for your Terry and Bruce. So good stuff.

Only pick I don't like is Keaton as Bruce. He was great in his movies but I want someone else like Ed Harris to be Old Bruce.

Your Terry pick is my second choice for the role after Sean Faris.

these are good except for Jamie Lee Curtis. She can look the part, its just that i dont see her being batgirl when she was younger. I would prefer an actress who i could have pictured being batgirl when she was younger.

Very good! I can definitely get behind your Bat picks. Who wouldn't love to see Keaton playing Bruce Wayne again as a nice little treat to the fans?

Dude! Perfect! I've never heard anyone think of Curtis for Barbra. I think she could actually pull it off! I've never seen VD so I can't say anything about that guy, except that he looks the part. If this movie were to happen, they'd need to incorporate the futuristic kind of techno goth, pop culture club scenes, that's what appealed to me as a kid. I swear, the perfect Batman Beyond movie would have to be the first 3 episodes of the cartoon in with the Hush Beyond story. Excellent fan cast!

Awesome choice: Morena Baccarin as Inque

Just keep in mind Terry's an athlete . He is also tall, so an actor HAS to be fit and about 6' or so.

What about Dana an Max? Remember, Max has a pair on her!Heh!
