Here is my RE-cast of the Batman franchise, I'm so glad to get rid of Christian Bale, always did hate him...
Anyway first up is Batman
Batman/Bruce Wayne-Henry Cavill
Henry Cavill is an underrated actor, he was rumored to play Batman/Bruce Wayne when "Batman Begins" was announced. He was attached to play Superman/Clark Kent when McG was directing "Superman: FlyBy." He was in the top three choices for the new James Bond before Daniel Craig was cast. And he was also a fan-favorite from "Twilight" fans to play the Edward Cullen character... (I hate Twilight :).) I would like to see him play Batman. He obviously has a leading man quality, but always got the chance taken away from him right at the end.
The Joker/???- Crispin Glover
A wonderful actor who was rumored to play the Joker when "The Dark Knight" was announced. Lately, his films haven't been so great but he needs a role like the Joker to show off his skills again. And, he does look like the classic Joker.
Bane- Javier Bardem
I always get Bardem and Jeffery Dean Morgan mixed up. I swear they were separated at birth. Anyway, I know a lot of wrestlers are probably considered for this role but Bane is much more built than a wrestler. So, I think some form of CGI will have to be used or just a suit kind of like Vinnie Jones in "X-3." I mean Bane isn't stupid, so I think an actual actor is in order to play him. This is the villain that broke Batman's back remember!
The Riddler/Edward Nygma- Michael C Hall
He's a very good actor, good at playing cold and calculating characters like Dexter and he sure looks like Riddler in that pic above ^^^
Next
Scarecrow/Dr Jonathan Crane-Robert Knepper
Robert Knepper is one of my favorite actors. He is also my number one choice for Carnage/Cletus Cassidy-- but something about him reminded me of Scarecrow. I loved Cilian Murphy's performance in "Batman Begins." Because of that performance, he made Scarecrow my favorite Bat-villain with Joker coming a close second, so I cast this one with extreme care. ;)
Harley Quinn/Dr Harleen Quinzel- Brittany Murphy
She's a fan favorite and I can't argue why. Murphy is the best choice for Harley.
Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot- James Gandolfini
He is the ONLY choice for Penguin in my mind. He is more so than Philip Seymour Hoffman, even though he would still do well.
Catwoman/Selina Kyle-Kate Beckinsdale
She's my top choice for Catwoman. Whether in a new Bat-series or the current one, she's hot and she's no stranger to skin-tight leather ;)
Alfred Pennyworth-Ian Mckellen
Yeah, Gandalf serves Batman tea, how awesome is that?!?! But seriously I liked the old version of Alfred. The one that actually spoke like a butler. Michael Caine decided that his version of a butler will be a cockney geezer :P and just imagine Mckellen's voice say "Master Wayne" ..I just won you over didn't I? ;)
Anyway this is it so far, like with my X-Men, I'll probably update it now and then. Please leave comments and tell me what you think. Still Be nice lol :).
