Fancast: Batman the Series

Fancast: Batman the Series

I don't think it will, nor should it, happen, but here's my take

Filed Under: Fan Fic



Using just actors known for T.V. roles. I've cast the ones I'd tolerate. As long as we never see the Bat-tussi or the Bat-shark repellent I'll survive. This is not an origin it takes place a couple years into the deal. There is a Robin. Again, this is just for fun, I don't like The involvement of the sidekicks. Here it is...

Batman


Played by

Henry Cavill (young and dark I think he's good for a T.V. Bat)
He played the role of Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk, on the Showtime series The Tudors from 2007 until 2010.


Robin


Played by
Nicholas Elia (I like this kid a lot in Supernatural)

Plays the serrogat son, Ben, of Dean on Supernatural.


Alfred


Played by


John Glover (I assume I’ll get crap for this but he has so much GEEK cred)
Perhaps best known for a range of villainous roles in films and television, including Lionel Luthor on the Superman-inspired television series Smallville. Glover is currently appearing in ABC's Brothers & Sisters as Henry, the boyfriend of Saul Holden. He has also appeared in Heroes as the character Sylar's father, Samson Gray. He will be voicing a villainous character named Abraxas in the upcoming video game, Tron: Evolution. The Riddler in Batman: The Animated Series, Doctor Jason Woodrue in Batman & Robin, Verad in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Invasive Procedures".


Commissioner Gordon


Played by


Robert Patrick (don't wanna screw with this guy)
John Doggett in The X-Files. His portrayal earned him the Saturn Award for Best Actor on Television in 2001, and a nomination the following year for the same award in the category "Best Actor in a Television Series. In 2006, he landed another of his most memorable roles, playing Colonel Tom Ryan in the hit television show, The Unit.


Joker


Played by


Lachy Hulme
He is best known as the character Sparks in the Matrix trilogy. He was considered for the role of The Joker in Christopher Nolan's film, The Dark Knight. He also starred in the little seen thriller Four Jacks (2000) for which he won Best Actor in the Melbourne Underground Film Festival awards in 2001. Hulme has been featured in many Australian TV shows such as White Collar Blue, Stingers, Blue Heelers and Raw FM. Hulme starred in 2008 in a show called The Hollowmen starring as 'Murph' (David Murphy).


Two-Face


Played by


Desmond Harrington (I wanted someone who could also be Batman)
He joined the cast of the Showtime series Dexter in its third season as Joey Quinn.


Rupert Thornne


Played by


Anthony Head (I assume I’ll get crap for this)
Known for his role as Rupert Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In 2002, he co-starred in the BBC Two television series Manchild.


Riddler


Played by


Tim Roth (I always wanted him to play either a crazy Joker or a genius
Riddler, even way before Begins came out)
He currently stars as Cal Lightman in the TV series Lie to Me.


Ra’s Al Ghul


Played by


Arnold Vosloo (should be Middle-Eastern)
Alongside his film career, he guest-starred in several TV shows including The Red Shoe Diaries, American Gothic (1995), Nash Bridges (1995), Charmed (2000), Alias (2004) and NCIS (2009) He was one of the main characters in Veritas: The Quest (2003). He also had a major role in the fourth season of 24 (2005), as terrorist leader Habib Marwan. Vosloo appeared in three episodes of Chuck in 2009 as Fulcrum agent Vincent.


Catwoman


Played by


Sophia Bush (don't want to hear it. I love her)(OK, let's hear it)
She currently stars in the CW television series One Tree Hill where she portrays Brooke Davis.


Talia Al Ghul


Played by


India De Beaufort (forgive me for having 2 from the same show. In my defense I had no clue until just now. I know Bush from 2 movies and knew about her T.V. acting. This one, however, I just knew from Krod)
Aneka, a pagan warrior maiden, in the 2009 series Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire. She currently stars as Miranda in The CW show One Tree Hill.


Scarecrow


Played by


Alexander Skarsgard (creeeeepy)
He is best known for his roles as vampire Eric Northman on the HBO TV series True Blood and Brad Colbert in Generation Kill.


Black Mask


Now, I would like to see something worn similar to Batman, kind of paralleling Batman, I don't have to see a skull as it might come off cheap in a show with a low budget


Played by


Thomas Gibson (very intense, I just got into this show)
Currently starring in the CBS series Criminal Minds. He portrays Supervisory Special Agent Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner, the Unit Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) team.


Harley Quinn


Played by


Mary-Kate Olsen (To me she has that starved, tweeking look. I don’t think Quinn should be outright seductive. Somewhat like the mother in the Crow movie, trying to be, might kind of be, MIGHT to some)
Full House


Poison Ivy



Played by


Christina Hendricks (mmmmmm)
Known for her role as Joan Holloway in the AMC cable television series Mad Men, and as Saffron in Fox's short-lived series Firefly. Hendricks was named "the sexiest woman in the world" in 2010 in a poll of female readers taken by Esquire magazine.


Bane


Played by


Dave Bautista (I believe 1, that his acting can improve and 2, that in an hour’s worth of an episode it’s not crucial that he be superb) (In a movie acting is so much more important than the look; but this ain’t no movie = p
WWE, Wrong Side of Town

I don't like Henry Cavill but I've only seen him in Count of Monte Cristo, so I would cast Keifer Sutherland as the most badass Batman ever.

Lachy Hulme, Henry Cavill and Desmond Harrington are my favorites from this cast!:) Hulme would have been epic as The Joker in The Dark Knight! He has the comic version look!

Is there seriously coming a new dark Batman animated series?! Is that first picture from it?! That where is lots of bad guys and Batman himself in line?

nice cast dude i like it very much suprisingly but, i just have a tiny problem maybe you could have gone with some one older for robin

Lewis, i love Sutherland but maybe for another role. not that i think Cavill is the only way to go here thats for damn sure.

LEEE, i even meant to make mention as a side joke to that but i forgot. hes def as good as Cavill.

Alex, thanks i love that u throw ur favs out there like that. i didn't hear anything bout a new cartoon. Live action not happening, it's rumor. i think that pic is from the Supergirl/Darkseid DVD. i google my pics.

DDD, thanks

Ibz, i know it makes SO much MORE sense but i went with comic book beginner age. who'd you have in mind?

interesting ideas, here are some ideas of my own, while this cast is brilliant:

-Joker: Robert Knepper
-Batman: Liev Schreiber
-Gordon: William Fitchner (with facial hair and glasses of course)
-Black Mask: Michael Imperioli
-Poison Ivy: Cassidy Freeman
-Scarecrow: Crispin Glover
-Riddler: Michael Emerson
-Catwoman: Michelle Ryan
-Rupert Thorne: Kevin Tighe
-Harvey Dent: either Timothy Olyphant or Michael C. Hall
