FAN CAST: Batman 3

Damn @ JOSH thumbs up from me buddy!!

Yes to BALE, ROUTH, and DEPP!! Kudos on the BLACK MASK pic too, great minds eh lol!

Only one i dislike is EVA GREEN, don't like her much for some reason lol, must be coz shes French! : P

Joke lol! ; D

Like 'em all dude, but CRISPIN GLOVER for JOKER!!!

Oh yeah MATTHEW FOX = BARRY ALLEN! ; p

But thumbs up man, one of your best yet!!

P.S. Damn, i'm actually working on a BATMAN 3 as we speak, been doing it on an off for the last few days, but then again, this is more a BAT casting than the BATMAN 3 movie, bit too many peeps lol, so its all cool! : D

P.P.S. No UPDATING!!! UPDATE KING! ; D

Franco, Glover, or Gordon-Levitt are definitely good choices for Joker, while Routh is a waste of page space.

Good job there, Josh!

Big no to James Franco!
I like the rest.
Awesome:Carla Gugino as Catwoman, Johnny Depp as The Riddler, Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin and John Malkovich as Mr. Freeze

I like James Franco for Joker good pick
I for one would like the main villian be black mask with Mr Zsasz opening up the movie with a little blood this time

a robin or catwoman would ruin any 3rd movie. malkovich would make a better riddler, depp will never be in a bat movie. and the return of lliam neeson as alghoul would not only make more sense than trying to recast the joker but tie up loose ends from the 1st flick. as for the rest the only agreeable few would be the current cast in there respective roles ie. gordon, alfred etc. dont expect the croc or freeze or any other character that is not grounded in reality, which is the formula for this new franchise, the last thing we need are hokey villains. and thumbs up to hoffman as the penguin, but only if hes made to be a gangster mob boss of sorts that takes over the "crime family" in gotham.
P.S. no rubber flippers they call him the penguin because of his suits and his menacing laugh.

GRIF @ Time to get laid buddy! ; D

Cool @ JOSH and it is, very well done and yeah i cast STRONG in my recent one though im thinking, well infact cast someone else for him in my new cast, only because it sounds as if STRONG has got the SINESTRO part, but still hoping WB see sense an cast WEAVING! ; p

JOSH @ Maybe you should explain to people here it isn't actually for a BATMAN 3 but the franchise of many movies! It is right??

Did you just put in EMILY BLUNT lol?? Not that im complaining, i was going to cast her in my recent one but as at the time cast her as JEAN i decided not to lol. I think i cast KATE MARA, i think, anyway BLUNT would be great!

By the way though, talking ROBIN, you do know HUSH used to be a ROBIN right?

Man, when we get HUSH in a movie that'll be something dude!!

Hell no to Badgley, I f*cking hate that guy.

And no to Depp.

Rest are great.

lmao crispen glover? you cant be serious!!! i can see him as andy warhol in the doors movie , even as the frikken weirdo from the charlies angels flick. but mcfly senior is in no way shape or form a man who could even act as though he were a villain able to do anything serious to the bat. just sayin. crispen glover hahahahahahahaha (shaking my head).

@ leee777 and @ anil rickly depp is too highly paid to sit next to bale. he would overshadow his performance. not to mention the budget, but who knows. i do think IF he were... he could definately pull it off no question hes a brilliant actor BUT, as i said before depp will never be in a bat movie period. wont happen.

there is no batman w/out the joker but sadly the guy is dead R.I.P. not as far as the movie goes, sure, there will undoubtedly be reference to him or even a chance of seeing him again in the third flick but it will be ledgers head digitized over another actors body or simply clips from the dark knight, not some other two bit actor, or even a big name actor for that matter. depp "WOULD" kill as either the joker or the riddler but as far as the joker is concerned consistancy will beat out any attempt to remake him in another actors shoes. as for the riddler, i stand by my opinion that malkovich would be the best choice for chris nolan if he could scoop him up.

sansClaymore: Thanks - I have to say that I disagree with a lot of what you say though, especially about Franco. Whoever plays The Joker next shouldnt try to imitate Ledger's brilliant performance in either looks or personality. That would just be insulting IMO - Franco most definitely has the acting abiltiy to give an excellent and unique performance.

And having, "...ledgers head digitized over another actors body" - would not be right. The man is dead, he gave an amazing performance but doing something like that would just be an insult to his memory. If they want to bring the character back then just do it with another actor who will give their own take on it! Look how much Brandon Routh got critisized for imitating Christopher Reeves!

LEE: LMAO!!! :D

I've said that this is for a third movie and following sequels at the top of the article! Any of these villains could be used in Batman 3 and a lot of them and the allies could be just introduced ready for the next trilogy! Emily Blunt was in it from the moment I posted it - she'd make a great Jean as well though on the Marvel side of things!

Are you sure about Hush? He's Thomas Elliot isnt he? I've read the Batman: Hush graphic novel and I dont see anything on his Wikipedia page about him ever being Robin!

TYLER: Thanks bud! :) Great idea with Ben Foster...I could definitely see that working!

ANIL: Well, its a bit of a mixture really! In my opinion, most of these casting choices would work in a Nolan directed Batman 3 and the majority would work just as well, if not better, in a non-Nolan Bat flick!

ecksmanfan: Thanks - I get where you're coming from because after Ledger's brilliant performance it would be hard to bring The Joker back without comparisons being made etc! Nolan's take on Robin would probably be excellent but Robin is one of those characters where it would either end up being really great or [frick]ing awful, lol! ;)

1chris2: Thank dude, I appreciate that! :) You make a good point about Grayson...maybe it would be good to have him as Robin for a short while and get to the Nightwing stuff a lot quicker than the comic books did!

That scene from Spider-Man 3 comes to mind every time I think about Franco as The Joker! Its just a pity that movie never gave him the chance to go full on Green Goblin!

And I actually completely agree with you about The Joker - Heath gave an amazig performance that will be remembere forever but there is no reason the cant use The Joker again...they just need to make sure they dont try to imitate Heath and allow the next actor to give their own unique take on the character as well!

great fancast dude! brittany murphy would have been the perfect Harley Quinn (RIP.) but id have to go with Zooey Deschanel for Harley now, and id prefer Crispin Glover as well.

overall, pretty good!

@BatmanKnight
Emily Blunt aint that old. shes 26, that aint that old?

@joshW- no prob, thats why this is a great fan fic!! i love seeing and hearing others thoughts on what they would like to see in the next bat movie/movies. it makes for great opinions and i love to read others ideas. and god forbid they digitize his head!!! i was just giving my impression of what would sell the idea of seeing the joker again,i happen to be a computer animator knowing full well it would never happen, what i was intending to convey was that they will not be using the joker again, its sad but they wont, i believe they would rather skirt around it and bring other villains to the forefront. however what i originally said was that they may very well indeed HINT to his character thru usage of clips from the dark knight or even cgi trickery(ie. him in a padded cell at arkham) not that the character would have a major role. just that they would most likely keep ledgers take on it as the canon, and to not sully or disrespect him by using another actor, they would instead use ledgers/joker image for any and all interpretations in this franchise. and franco is a great actor but he could never top ledgers performance, or even attempt to do his own take, without leaving millions of bat fans stampeding theaters with torches and pitchforks however "excellent" or "unique" it may be. that being said i believe he needs to stay with marvel if he intends to do any CBM's in the future as i stated before the crossover would be treacherous and seem downright treasonous to CBM fans, you seem to forget they are competing comicbook icons(D.C./Marvel)with die-hard fans, despite that troll from van wilders' green lanter/deadpool travisty(dont wanna go there right now lol). no instead franco would only ever be the joker if the franchise is once again rebooted, and furthermore would probably not at all regardless of the similarity of his mug and the jokers.
but keep them coming, id like to see more folks ideas on who would be a good joker if they ever decide to do a --3RD-- modern reboot. believe me u will see alghoul come back before we ever see the joker again period!!!
P.S.after his role in pineapple express people have seemed to peg franco as some kind of stoner, wich would makes me wonder if thats the case, than christian bale must go around at night in a cape trying to foil bank robberies and muggings. it was an act people hence the word "actor". regardless he may blow bones daily but that doesnt make him a stoner, it makes him smart, as most drug using actors are into actual "drugs" and not herbal remedies lmao!!!

i like good job

JOSH @ My bad lol, i was thinking of RED HOOD! : P

[frick]ing DC lol.


sansClaymore @ Cool! ; D

But still DEPP for RIDDLER!!


OZY @ How can you post it early?? Thats BULL SH1T and you know it!!! GEEZUZ dude wtf delete yet another article, i for one wont waste my time going in commenting dude if all you do is press the delete button all the time!!

You should of just added more pics, you only needed like 4 or 5 of what you didn't put in man!?

Tut tut lol.

Fantastic cast @Josh!

Really like the James Franco Joker pick!
Never thought of him for Joker but
he would do a great job!
I think he is one of the best young actors
around today!

No one can do the Joker exactly the way
Heath did, then it would just be
an impression! I can see Franco doing
it but with his own twist to it, to
carry the character on further!

sansClaymore: Lol, hey - no worries man! As I've said before, if we all agreed then this would be a pretty boring site! :) And I completely understand where you're coming from! As Ledger's performance was so iconic, it would probably be for the best if they do use another, completely different villain in the next movie and just hinting at the character being in Arkham or wherever in the ways you've said would probably work out briliantly!

To be honest, I think that any actor whether its Franco, Depp or even an unknown will be able to top Ledger...and even if they do his performance was so memorable and iconic, no one would probably realise, lol! I really would like to see the character back on the big screen one day soon though regardless of whether he's played by my choice of Franco!

Haha, all Franco's role in Pineapple Express showed me was what a great, diverse actor he is! :D Your avatar looks great - you should think about posting it up as fan art! (if you have already and I didnt see it, I apologise! I spend so much time making these casts I rarely get chance to check out anything other than news on CBM!)

damn batman 3 is going to have alot of characters! haha. no jk good stuff really. i LOVE matthew fox as hush - thats a great one. - and i agree they do need t start a new trilogy after this one. all of the batman films have taken place within like a year - so by the time the third one is over we'll just be getting into what's good about batman. we havent even seen the batcave proper yet!

my fan cast is guy pierce as mr freeze tho. but nice to see him getting some love on your page. but i thinkhis talents would be wasted as deadshot. i would basically just want his attitude as Count Mondago if he were to play freeze. mondago was a bastard!

nice cast i just dont like your Batgirl, or your Robin. both look to old for those parts. but your Robin could make a good Nightwing
