Title: your substitute for Christian Bale?
Post by: batsam on Sat, 27 Sep 2008, 22:45
who would you choose as a new bruce wayne in another nolan movie?
i mean other than keaton,kilmer,george and bale?

i found the topic locked?i'm kind of new over here...nothing is wrong with it i hope...so i just made a new one


personal opinion on what you choosed:
1.Guy Pearce,one of my favorites,but its too thin and small for being a bruce wayne
2.sutherland:not that handsome for the role, besides Mr. wayne have black hair,sutherland is blond
3.david schwimmer... the guy of friends?not good idea!
4.Cillian Murphy:too young,he could be robin,but i'd prefer not to have any robin ,batgirl or others around...
5.depp: looks too young either althou the years,small non muscolar body

any others?

It was locked due to the fact that it was starting to turn into something it wasnt meant to be.

This one can stay open as long as it doesnt turn into a Nolan vs. Burton argument or as long as any snide comments are not  made towards anyone.

John Stamos has the look, but he has been a tv actor for the last 15 years, so if he was going to make a break into movies he would have by now.

Eric McCormack has the baggage of Will & Grace (you wouldn't believe how many people think he is actually gay) - so if Mr Mom playing Batman was bad then............. ;)

And Rob Lowe is Rob Lowe  :-\

Hummm well i still feel that Guy Pearce would make a better bad guy lol but for nolans movies he'd be alright.

Someone i always wanted to see play Batman was Michael Biehn, he's to old now and wouldn't suit noan's films but i think he would have been alright.

Wasn't Alec Baldwin in the running for Batman, but had clashed with Burton during Beetlejuice?

Really but he has a wife and kid.

Prob but which actor wasn't said to be to playing Batman back in the late 80's.

I still think Kiefer Sutherland would make a good Batman. Yeah, he has blonde hair but so did Kilmer. Besides, he could dye it. ;)

I agree 100%, as i said in the other topic Sutherland would make an awesome Batman just not in nolans films, his Batman would be very violent and aggresive which would need a dark and gritty Gotham, while nolans Gotham is just to....clean and almost british like.

Do you think he'd fit in with Burton's vision of Batman better Sandman?
Title: Re: your substitute for Christian Bale?
Post by: Sandman on Tue, 30 Sep 2008, 02:18
Slightly but still not 100%, he'd need more of an intence Gotham and set of Villains.

i heard that too....i would have loved to see either him or Mickey Rourke in the role of batman years ago!!but they are old now!!


i will just throw some other names here...Clive Owen , Viggo Mortensen , jude law , Erica Bana or even Ralph Fiennes or Antonio Banderas , Peter Gallagher...........
is there a movie or some role  about Sutherland that made you think   "he's the one!!"   ?

Alec Baldwin is probably the only actor other than Keaton that I think could have pulled off Batman in Burton's films in terms of general looks. He reminds me of Bruce/Batman from The Killing Joke and the mini-series Sam Hamm wrote for Batman's 50th anniversary in Detective Comics #598-600.

I rented the first season of 24 and his intensity and voice just struck me as someone who would make a good Batman.

HeHe, I just got this mental picture of Banderas saying "Im Batman" with his accent. ;D

Aalthou i like nolan's batman and dont dislike Bale as actor , i would accept better almost anyone elese as batman,i really don't care significally about Banderas playing the Role but wont exlude him more than any other basically because in Batman Returns they were about to insert a robin with Marlon Wayans .... :)
some one else in the mentioned could play Mr.Wayne?

Keaton and Bale are equal to me in their separate and different interpretations of Batman, they each played two completly different versions thats why I love them both so much, I get to have two amazing versions of my favorite character both done amazingly!
