JComicFan-Batman Beyond Fan Cast

The second way they could continue the Batman series

A couple of days ago I put up my Dark Knight Returns fan cast. It got a mixed reception and if you haven't checked it out please do.

Anyway the second idea I have on what they can do with the Batman franchise is to adapts the great television series BATMAN BEYOND. Years ago they considered doing a movie version but it was scrapped for Batman Begins. So here's who I think could play the roles.


Thomas Dekker as Terry McGinnis/Batman


Thomas Dekker is a pretty good actor and has played a great tough and troubled youth before as John Connor in the short lived television series TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES.


Clint Eastwood as Bruce Wayne

He is the most popular, and quite honestly the best choice. I don't know if he'd do it, but if he did he'd be great. He's great at playing old, tough, and bitter characters. A perfect example is his character in GRAN TORINO as a bitter old man, but is still a good person.


Glenn Close as Barbara Gordon

She is a good actress who seems right for the part.


Annette O'Toole as Mary McGinnis

This is similar to her role as Martha Kent in SMALLVILLE as the hero's caring mother, but she'd be just perfect for the role.


Bryan Cranston as Warren McGinnis

Quite simply he's a good actor and would do a good job.


John DeVito as Matt McGinnis

Finding an actor for Matt was hard, but I decided on John DeVito since he played the even younger John Connor in TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES. He looks like he could pull off playing Thomas Dekker's younger brother.


Lin Yifei as Dana Tan

Quite simply I liker her and think she'd be good in the role.


Dana Davis as Maxine "Max" Gibson

Pretty much the same as Lin Yifei as Dana.


Samuel L. Jackson as Sam Young

Everyone knows how great of an actor Sam Jackson is, and he definitely also looks the part.


Hugo Weaving as Derek Powers/Blight

A great actor, who really excels at playing villains. Just watch him as Agent Smith in THE MATRIX TRILOGY. He was my pick to play Norman Osborn in the Spider-Man reboot, but that probably won't happen since he's playing the Red Skull in the upcoming Captain America film. But hopefully he could play Blight if they ever make a BATMAN BEYOND movie.


Dwayne Johnson as Mr. Fixx

He used to be in action roles, but then decided to go down the family film route. But who's to say he can't do a more mature film again. He was pretty menacing as the Scorpion King in THE MUMMY RETURNS, and definitely has the build for the role.


Moon Bloodgood as Inque

I don't know what it is about her, but she just seems like she could play the seductive and deadly super villain.


Ray Park as Walter Shreeve/Shriek

He's played good villain in the past, specifically Darth Maul in THE PHANTOM MENACE and Toad in X-Men. But I think it would be interesting to see him tackle this role as well.


Maggie Q as Curaré

She has the martial arts skills required, and just seems all around perfect for the part.


Adam Baldwin as Mad Stan
]
He just seems like he'd be good in the tough maniacal part.


Matthew Gray Gubler as Ira Billings/Spellbinder

Seeing him as Spencer Reid in the television series CRIMINAL MINDS tells me that he could play this more intellectual villain.


Henry Cavill as Paxton Powers

I know that I've used this answer several times before, but he just seems right for the part.


Adrien Brody as The Joker

I don't know how people are going to react to this. Adrien Brody was a contender to play the Joker in THE DARK KNIGHT before the role was given to Heath Ledger. He acknowledges how great Heath was, but says he thinks it would have been a great role to play. And I think he'd do a great job, so why not give him the opportunity.


So that's my cast for BATMAN BEYOND. What did you think of it? Who would you cast?

Very nice cast man

I've been working on a Batman Beyond cast as well. I always loved the show and thought it would be great for a movie or live action series.

The only one I'm not sure about is Eastwood. I really couldn't see him in the past being Batman. But the rest is spot on man so good job.

Maggie Q's too good an actress for Curaré. All you need is an amazing stuntwoman with a piercing glare and you're set.

Great picks all around. You did a great job of casting good actors and not just flavors of the week who kinda look like the characters.

Thumbs Way Up for this. For the Keaton over Eastwood group, don't want to come off sounding like an ass on this but maybe I'm missing something. Keaton as a grumpy 80 something year old Bruce Wayne over Eastwood is a must in what way? It's Bruce Wayne ..in his 80's....with a bad heart....which is why he's no longer Batman. Keaton could work in flashback as "Middle Aged" Bruce at the time he has the heart attack that forces him to give up being Batman.

wow that is a very good fan cast indeed so much this is my fist comment in 3 years on this in the fan fic section..

i agree Keaton is a must but as Eyeofhours said in flash backs Eastwood is to perfect for an old Bruce Wayne

Love Batman Beyond and this cast! They were originally going to make this film but decided to go with Batman Begins instead. Hopefully since the upcoming un-named Batman Begins 3 movie will be the conclusion of that series, that they will pursue making a Batman Beyond flick once again.

I agree w/everyone for Keaton as old Bruce, but I love The Eastwood and it would be amazing to see him play old Bruce as well.

Angelina Jolie would seem like the perfect Inque. Plus, you have to bring out the big guns for probably the most deadly supervillain in Terry's rogues gallery, not including the Joker (not even Blight's gotten as close to killing him as she has).

But maggie q for curare would be pretty cool.
