The Batman (Matt Reeves) ***spoilers from post 1030***

pixelburp

I think by now, the Batman film series has had enough surprise casting choices that worked out well, that we should give anyone the benefit of the doubt; Pattinson & Kravitz are both young, talented actors with a plethora of meaty roles to know that - if the script is good - this could be a good one.

In light of Joker showing there's an appetite for something beyond big splashy thrills, here's hoping DC give Reeves et al some latitude to make the film they want. They probably won't, 'cos Batman sells toys, but we can dream.

‘The Batman': Jonah Hill in Talks to Play Riddler

talks broke down

The White Wolf

Can't see Seth Rogan in this. I think Hill was meant to fill the esteemed Oscar nominated/winner quota so they must be looking at more actors that fit that mould.

They need some big, respected names, to pad out the rogues gallery. Funnily enough I'd love to see Jake Gyllenhaal as the Riddler. I don't think MCU will need him again.

Crispin Glover would be a good riddler.

Jesse Eisenberg would have been a good Riddler, if they hadn't cast him as Lex already.

Bit too unreliable.

He was terrible as Lex, why would he be good as the Riddler?

He's the wrong kind of actor to play Lex, but would suit Riddler quite well, with his little quirks.

I think he would just remind me of Mark Zuckerberg.

I think that's what they were going for with casting him as Lex in the first place. Wasn't a bad idea imo but Eisenberg made a mess of it.

Josh Gad for penguin, Jk...
Having just watched El Camino, I'm thinking Jesse Plemons would make a good penguin.
And before anyone points it out, I'm fully aware that I make terrible casting choices.

How on earth did you make that connection?

kerplun k

He's a good actor. He reminds me of Philip Seymour Hoffman, who I always thought would make a great Penguin

peteeeed

Jonah hill to be back as the penguin, once the check clears

Mr E

Paul Dano is the Riddler. Great choice.

That's awesome and straightforward casting. Sometimes the best choice is the most obvious one as opposed to trying to be clever like Snyder did with Lex.

Can't wait to see his sh1tbird cretin of a Riddler.

Hell yes

That's actually spot on casting. Now it's over to the script, fingers crossed it's not hot garbage .... and hopefully if The Riddler is the main villain, the plot and action match as a puzzlebox. A generic smash em up would be a letdown.

peteeeed

Jonah hill about to fire his agent

nix

Fingers crossed for Alan Tudyk or Domhnall Gleeson to play Lucius Fox..

:pac:

Relikk

Dano is a superb actor. A great choice.

OwaynOTT

I actually can’t watch this now, if dano isn’t the riddler now.

Jingle bells, Batman smells

Not getting the vibe for Pattinson as Bruce Wayne or Dano as the Riddler.
Bale will be a hard act to follow and Nolan an impossible act .

They need to leave the Batman franchise alone for a few years .

They sure were.

Except that Afleck already showed that Bale could be followed, even with the crap he was given to work with

peteeeed

Pattinson will bulk up like bale did, put on an American accent, I just hope it's rooted in the real world after the snyder verse overkill of the pretty terrible justice league

tbh I'm sick of the same Batman villains. We've already had Catwoman. I wanna see Mr Freeze and Poison Ivy done right this time. Maybe even Hugo Strange or Scarecrow.

I want Clayface. No particular reason, just think it could look cool.

Bale was an awful Batman with a stupid Batman voice.

Jervis Tetch, Blackmask, Hush, Zsasz would be my top picks
