Casting For Batman Villains

Casting For Batman Villains

My opinion on who should portray Batman's foes...

Hey guys, these are my ideas on who should be cast as Batman villains; hope you enjoy it! Please take note: This is my first post, so go easy on the comments ;)

Robin Williams as Mr Freeze



Reason: He can add the neccessary amount of sympathy to the character that Schwarzenegger's portrayal was lacking in Batman & Robin, and he has proven in the Christopher Nolan film Insomnia that he can blend that sympathy with homicidal characteristics.


Kate Beckensale as Catwoman


Reason: She's talented, she's charasmatic, and she's pretty freakin hot! Plus: I'm sure she and Bale will have the same amount of chemistry on screen as Batman and Catwoman do in the comics.

Brittany Murphy as Harley Quinn


Reason: Watch Sin City then tell me if she ain't right for the role.

Johnny Depp or David Tennant as The Riddler


Reason: They're both excellent actors and just as important; both of them want the role.

OR:The guy who figured out Batman's identity in the last movie. Think about it; like the Riddler, he guessed his identity and he was right. Sounds like a decent introduction to me.

Philip Seymour Hoffman or Toby Jones as The Penguin


Reason: Both men are great actors and I know they would own the role. (To those who don't know Tobey Jones; he stared in a movie called Infamous as Truman Capote. He was just as convincing as Hoffman was when he played Capote, and the movie was pretty good too)

Micky Rourke as Bane


Reason: Rourke is a great actor and is obviously built well eough for the role.

Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, or Moon BloodGood as Poison Ivy


Reason: All three women are etremely attractive and could seduce any straight man on earth to do their bidding (which is kind of a requirement for the role), but in terms of acting ability I think Scarlett Johansson takes the cake.

Okay guys, those are my pics; tell me what you think. SEE YA!

Thanks flames. You got a point about Rourke. What about Nathan Jones? Btw, what do you think about my second choice for the Riddler: David Tennant.

Toby Jones also voiced Dobby - Dobby for Penguin! lol nah this is actually a decent cast, as long as poison ivy was actually attractive (ie not uma thurman) i wouldnt mind either of the actresses you picked. Tennant for Riddler and hell yes to Beckinsale Catwoman!

flames809 - 8/25/2009, 10:46 AM

Hugo Weaving would be a good Mr. Freeze, but he's Brainiac :)

Brittany Murphy = Harley

Bring back that dude as Bane from Batman&Robin, and then this list is spot on!...

I have to disagree with the Harley Quinn casting. Sherri Moon Zombie for Harley Quinn.
Frogman
Frogman - 8/25/2009, 12:40 PM
@Minotauro: as long as hes not a mindless thug sure, he had the build but they wrote the character terribly.

I really like Dave Tennant as the Riddler. He was a GREAT Dr. Who!

Bane is from South America and is Hispanic. Nathan Jones is a 7' tall Caucasian actor from Australia and I've never seen him in a speaking roll so I wouldn't know how he is at a speaking roll. But Damm is he impressive looking. He was in Troy and in Stone Cold Steve Austin's "Condemned". But they could darken his skin and have someone else dub in the voice.

wow i liked all the choices man they were good i am a little unsure of robin williams not because of his acting skills becuase i know he could do it but more of his age. holy shit i can't believe i just said that to think i am a major fanboy of robin williams. like bad enough to say a dirty man crush on him and for once i may not approve of him in a role oh boy i need some thearpy and to lie down.

Sorry man, but the only two I like are Kate Beckinsale for Catwoman, which I said months ago. And Brittany Murphy.

I can't see the rest.

Bane is one of Batman's most cunning enemies. He needs an actor with skill, as well as one that looks like him visually. I say that with a little CGI Javier Bardem would be perfect as Bane.

I could see Robin Williams as Freeze. But i'd rather have Hugo Weaving

And as for Poison Ivy... I said this months ago in my Batman villain casting that Carla Guigo would be perfect as Ivy

Why is it that every time I see Phillip Seymour Hoffman, he reminds me of comedian Jim Gaffigan.
