If you could have any actor play as a DC character which actor would you pick?

[Frostbite883]

I would pick Sean Connery as Niles Caulder(of the Doom Patrol) and
The Rock as Black Adam(have you seen The Scorpion King?) he
would make such a bad@$$ Black Adam. ;) :D :cool:

[saintsaucey]

Ashton Kutcher as Terry (Batman Beyond)
Anthony Hopkins as Old Bruce Wayne


there are so many more but i would love a series of batman beyond movies

[DLFerguson]

The first time I saw "The Right Stuff" I said to myself; "I'll be damned...this movie's got the perfect actors for a CHALLENGERS OF THE UNKNOWN movie":

Ace Morgan=Ed Harris
Prof Haley=Scott Glenn
Red Ryan=Dennis Quaid
Rocky Davis=Fred Ward
June Robbins=Barbara Hershey

[Bat-Mite]

Anthony Hopkins as Old Bruce Wayne

Anthony Hopkins in THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS!

Anyway...

The Rock as Flex Mentallo.
Audrey Tatou as Crazy Jane.

[Magneto_X]

Wonder Woman = Alexa Davalos, Morena Baccarin, Jessica Biel

The Huntress = Amy Acker, Monica Bellucci, Tia Texada, Lucie Laurer, Asia Argento, Carla Gugino, Famke Jansson, Roselyn Sanchez, Michelle Rodreigez (sp?), Mia Kirshner

Cassandra Cain = Zhang Ziyi or Summer Glau (if they don't want her to be Asian)

Lady Shiva = Michelle Yeoh, Lucy Lui, Kelly Hu

Barbara Gordon = Dina Meyer (good casting there for the B.O.P tv show)

Vixen = Gina Torres

The Joker = Crispin Glover w/ Mark Hamill (voice)

Captain Marvel = Paul Gross or Patrick Warburton

Martain Manhunter = Steve Harris or Carl Lumley

Hal Jordan = Ben Browder

Kyle Rayner = Jason Behr or Jake Gylanhaal

Black Canary II = Katherine Heigl

Talia al Ghul = Mia Maestro, Asia Argento, Tia Texada

Mr.Freeze = Patrick Stewart

Blue Beetle II/Ted Cord = Sean Maher (Simon Tam from Firefly/Serenity)

Robin- Logan Lerman
The Joker- John C. McGinley
The Penguin- Peter Dinklage
Harvey Dent/Two-Face- Patrick Wilson
Killer Croc- Terry Crews
Poison Ivy- Alicia Witt
The Riddler- Damian Lewis

Brainiac- Hugo Weaving
General Zod- Wentworth Miller (Hell he basically begged for the part in a recent interview.)
Metallo- Kevin Bacon

The Flash/Barry Allen- Timothy Olyphant (maybe a little too old now and too animated...but way better than the Ryan Reynolds rumor.)

Captain Cold- Robin Williams (Hey, the guy is not a bad actor.)
Iris Allen- Idina Menzel (Don't know why.)
Wally West/Kid Flash-Rory Culkin (Hey this kid looks older now.)

Bob Sapp as Bronze Tiger
Christian Bale as Rick Flag or Nemesis

Patrick Stewart as Brainiac
Robin Williams as Mad Hatter
Alan Cummings as Joker
Jason Alexander as Ventriloquist w/ Joe Pesci as the voice of Scarface
the housekeeper from "My Name is Earl" as Fire

[JuggernautRM]

Nathan Fillion - Hal Jordon
Victor Webster - Kyle Rayner
John C. McGinley - Guy Gardner

[Ronnigon]

Tom Berenger as 50 year-old Bruce Wayne.

He should've been Batman to begin with. He's the only actor who can play truly angry, vicious, and paranoid enough.

27950

In addition, he has the paramilitary physical conditioning to pull it off.

If you don't believe me, check out his old film Sniper.

Also, I would pick Robert Patrick (who played "T2" from Terminator: Judgment Day) or the actor who played "Stiffler" in American Pie to play Barry Allen as The Flash. They have the lithe physicality and the rapid-fire intelligence to pull it off.

27954

For Green Lantern, I would go with Gary Sinese.

Wonder Woman could only be rightly cast as one female, in my mind: Monica Bellucci, who had the title role in the unspeakably beautiful Italian film directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, called Malena. She also starred in The Matrix films, as "Persephone", and in The Passion of the Christ as "Magdalena".

27951
27952
27953

Wonder Woman's costume should be made to look more like ancient Greek armor, though... much like the way Frank Miller captured it, in The Dark Knight Strikes Again.

[Staredcraft]

I've always pictured who I wanted to be my fav DC Hero

Dr.Light II aka Kimiyo Hoshi I'd see being played by Lucy Liu

[Count Vertigo]

Very good picks! I saw sniper and I completely agree.

Jim Caviezel as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

Angie Everhart should have played Mary Jane Watson (sorry, Marvel not DC, but that's how they should have cast her.)

Natalie Imbruglia as Diana/WW.

[Ronnigon]

You know, I was walking through Barnes & Noble today, and a picture of a certain actor's face had me thinking about what sort of Bruce Wayne he might play.

Ever since I first saw him on the old TV show Silver Spoons, I have always been riveted by his ability to command a scene and other characters, with simply his penetrating gaze. He also has a very strong voice.

The actor? Jason Bateman... brother of Justine Bateman, who played "Mallory Keaton" on the TV show Family Ties.

27948

He is one of the few actors I would say possesses the raw intelligence, presence, and cynical humor to really embody Bruce Wayne. His basic personality is already pretty much Bruce Wayne's.

Also, on a purely superficial level, it should have been obvious before, according to a very simple mathematical formula:

BATEMAN - E = BATMAN !!!!!

I guess I m the only one who thinks Patrick Warburton is probably the worst choice for Captain Marvel. Sure he kind of looks the part, but he always has that confused look in his eyes, like Seann William Scott. I dont want to see a Cap that looks stupid, not that Im saying Warburton is stupid, but thats generally what he plays.

Well she wasn't black either too but that didn't stop Halley Berry.

[Smarty Jones]

"Well she wasn't black either too but that didn't stop Halley Berry."

The character Halle Berry played in the 2004 movie bore nearly no resemblance to the comic version, other than sharing the name "Catwoman."

A more appropriate example would be Earth Kitt, who played the Selina Kyle/Catwoman continuity character on the 1960s "Batman" TV series.

[Titan76]

I thought Michelle Pfeiffer did an okay job.

[Smarty Jones]

"Yep and so was Shaq's Steel. Dam you Warner Bro.:mad:"

The difference is that Shaquille O'Neal's movie "Steel" was meant to have a likeness to the comic book character. Halle Berry's "Catwoman" movie had practically no likeness to the comic book character, nor were any elements in the movie remotely tied to the character or the Batman mythos.


"I thought Michelle Pfeiffer did an okay job."

I named Eartha Kitt because, to make your previous comment more appropriate, she is a black woman who played Catwoman in the 1960s "Batman" television show.

[Titan76]

To bad it faild. I thought Shaq as Steel would have been great.

True. True.


[color=darkred][font=arial]I named Eartha Kitt because, to make your previous comment more appropriate, she is a black woman who played Catwoman in the 1960s "Batman" television show.
It doesn't matter to me who plays Catwoman, black, asian, or white as long as they do a good job in playing the character. Which is what I was going with.

[Ronnigon]

Smarty:


Halle Berry's "Catwoman" movie had practically no likeness to the comic book character, nor were any elements in the movie remotely tied to the character or the Batman mythos.

You know, I really thought that the movie was done well, but I think the chief problem was in Berry. The Catwoman character itself, has a penchant for a kind of true cruelty and narcissism that Berry just doesn't want to really admit to openly -- much less relish -- on screen or in public. Her inability to really put those qualities to work for the character, is why it failed to me.

This is interesting because, by all accounts in the tabloid press, Berry definitely has a private life in which she is apparently quite devious and ruthless. Perhaps she realized early on in life that she has the kind of "angel face" that only speaks "innocence and kindness" to the eyes of others, and so she plays on that. But perhaps she has the type of personality that cannot handle admitting any ugly truths about
itself. It seems that she has constructed a psychic block whereby that she can avoid any situations that require her to face those truths... and that's why she couldn't comfortably unleash them for her Catwoman role.

Beyond this, I found the Catwoman costume itself to be secondarily awful, although I wonder if it would have been just fine, had Berry herself been amazingly in the right character. I personally found it a little too inathletic to be believable.


The difference is that Shaquille O'Neal's movie "Steel" was meant to have a likeness to the comic book character.

You know, I watched a few minutes of that "Steel" movie awhile ago, and it was amazing just how stiff and uncomfortable Shaq's acting was... It was almost as uncomfortable as the movie's total lack of ambience appropriate to the theme of the character.

It was perhaps even more painful to watch all the actors around Shaq, like Annabeth Gish, trying to stay in character in the face of him being totally out of his character of Steel.

But I suppose the main problem was Shaq himself. I've seen enough of him in real life to know that he has virtually no heroic quality in him whatsoever. From all reliable accounts, he's little other than an incredibly narcissistic, domineering thug and bully... and one of such malignant delusion that he honestly believes that he should be regarded as a "hero" because his ego craves it.

[Smarty Jones]

"It doesn't matter to me who plays Catwoman, black, asian, or white as long as they do a good job in playing the character. Which is what I was going with."

OK. Staredcraft was the one who cited race in his or her reticence on Lucy Liu playing Catwoman. Sorry for the confusion.

[Smarty Jones]

"You know, I really thought that the movie was done well, but I think the chief problem was in Berry. The Catwoman character itself, has a penchant for a kind of true cruelty and narcissism that Berry just doesn't want to really admit to openly -- much less relish -- on screen or in public. Her inability to really put those qualities to work for the character, is why it failed to me."

The problem with "Catwoman" is that it was a movie that it didn't even try to be in line with the comic book character -- and the general public has a fair idea who Catwoman is and what she's about. The "Catwoman" name was thrown on merely for name recognition. The fact that Halle Berry is a horrible actress merely added to it.

Here was my suggestion then: Why didn't WB simply have Berry play Vixen? Berry physically is more in line with that character and it's a better personality and disposition fit. It's a comic book character, but not one so commonly known that contradictions would cause a resistance to general public buy-in. Berry's character had feral-type abilities, which Vixen can produce.


"You know, I watched a few minutes of that "Steel" movie awhile ago, and it was amazing just how stiff and uncomfortable Shaq's acting was... It was almost as uncomfortable as the movie's total lack of ambience appropriate to the theme of the character."

Also another factor is that Shaquille O'Neal is not an actor. Shaq cannot be taken seriously in any role except as Shaquille O'Neal making a cameo in a movie.

There is someone I think could play Steel in a convincing manner -- Dennis Haysbert, formerly of "24" and now the star of "The Unit."

My guess is because 1) Catwoman is name that the public knows, 2) Vixen only recently showed up in the publics consciousness via JL:U (though even then I doubt WB is clamoring for a movie about her and I doubt Halle is interested in playing any but A-listers).

I do agree that she would be a great Vixen, though.

All the more reasons to have Halle Berry play Vixen, IMO. At the time, Berry was a more prominent draw and she could have played a superheroine who was a blank slate to the general public -- especially considering there were critics who thought she was a poor selection to portray Storm in The X-Men movies.

I couldnt stand Ryan Reynolds as DP. Not unless you got the Farrely (sp?) brothers to write a script and didnt allow him to ad-lib too much. He's too dependent on his own good looks in most of his jokes. Its always stare-joke-stare-awkward silence-stare. That wouldnt work with DP because hes behind the mask most of the time, and when hes not he would be under heavy make-up.

[caats19]

But that would mean Ben Stiller as Blue Beetle...Luke Wilson as Blue Beetle and Owen Wilson as Booster Gold would be quite good, though.

I could actually see Ben Stiller as Guy Gardner. Not so much in terms of physical appearance, but in terms of playing the character. Seeing Stiller with the bowl cut would be worth it.

And Fire? Scarlett Johansson, of course. (Yeah, I know she'd make a better Ice. But I really want to see her wearing something resembling Fire's original uniform. Have I mentioned that I am a bit of a pervert?)

[BoosterBronze]

Booster Gold is not a little funny guy! (sobs)
He's a big, alpha male type, blond haired blue eyed captain of the football team. That's why it's a great contrast that he's a joker and a failure.

The only man who could be Booster Gold... Chris Jericho.

[Bobster777]

This maybe a weird casting, but I can see Hugh Jackman playing Catman in the Secret Six movie.

Ten years ago she'd have been perfect for Wonder Woman, though.

Rhona Mitra would make a good WW, too.

Nene:

Good call with Avery.

[Magneto_X]

repulsed? how do you know this?

I heard it in interviews years ago.

Here's a quote I heard from Comics 2 Film:

Q: Would you ever want to play a character like Wonder Woman?

Zeta-Jones: Not really. I like people who you can believe and not have those stupid powers.

The problem is that Seagal has a pony tail and Cap doesnt. You cant remove it either; its the source of his power.

THAT'S the problem with Segall? :eek: SERIOUSLY?!?!?

It has NOTHING to do with the fact that he's a HORRIBLE actor?!? :p

[cactusmaac]

I don't know if you've seen him lately, but Seagal would not look very appealing in spandex.

[Rhydaman]

Will Ferrell as the Joker.

[Kintales]

Hmm... Will Ferrell...actually he reminds more of the Keith Giffen era Blue Beetle Ted Kord lol (wee bit tall though).

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Events/5025/WillFerrel_Cohen_9627437_400.jpg

Owen Wilson would be an awesome Giffen era Elongated Man as well ;)

[Ontir]

Rick Peters (Hoop Life, Happy Face Murders) would also make a good Captain Marvel. Actually, having met Bruno Campos, he'd also make a good Cap!

How about Brad Pitt and John Favreau as Booster Gold and Blue (Ted Kord) Beetle?

Michelle Rodriguez as Montoya, and Lauren Ambrose as Batwoman?

[Ontir]

Holy double-post, Batman!

Wonder Woman - Katie Holmes-Cruise



No way! Not on this Earthhttp://www.smileyhut.com/thumb/thumbdown.gif (http://www.smileyhut.com)



Dr. Thaddeus Bodog Sivana/Aunt Minerva Dana Carvey


Perfect choice!http://www.smileyhut.com/thumb/thumbsupup.gif (http://www.smileyhut.com)


I agree with jade nova that Cary Elwes would make a good Green Arrow. He played Wesley (I think that was his name) in the Princess Bride.



Maybe you are thinking in that movie Robin Hood: Men in tights (1993). Elwes role is Robin Hood:rolleyes:
Better pick would be Dennis Leary.

[Damiean Dark]

I think the Dr No era Sean Connery was a perfect physical representation of the Tim Sale Bruce Wayne.

Jim Carey as the Joker: he has become a very good actor i recent years mix this with his comedy stylings he could have ruled as a more comic book accurate interpretation of the character.

Angelina Jolee as catwoman: this has been thrown around a lot but she is one of the very few A list actresses who is both stunning to look at and can really act great when given the right material, just like Michelle Phiffer before her Jolee was amazing in girl interupted.

Ian Mckellen as Alfred: Caine was passable but never really sold me on his alfred Mckellen has the acting chops to have made an amazing alfred he could do the comic elements as well as the more serious moments far better then cockney geezer turned butler caines alfred imo.

Jason Mewes as green arrow: Kevin Smith mentioned this a while ago initialy i thought "no way" but the more i think of the hippy green arrow and watch Mewes in films like Dogma the more i think it could work as a screen adaption.

[Dr. Simian]

Let's see... I have a few ideas here and there...

JSA:

Scott Glenn as Jay Garrick
Paul Newman as Alan Scott
Bruce Willis as Ted Grant
Laurence Fishburne as Mister Terriffic
Matt Damon as Dr. Midnite
Kevin Bacon as Sand
Uma Thurman as Black Canary
Brad Pitt as Hawkman
Brendan Fraser as Captain Marvel

and I still think that Owen Wilson would make a great Booster Gold, with either Ben Stiller (good) or Jason Lee (better) as Blue Beetle.

Jim Carrey as Plastic Man
Ed Norton as the Atom

If I think of some others, I'll post later....

[Ontir]

Patrick Warburton as Captain Marvel
Morena Baccarin as Wonder Woman
Ryan Reynolds as the Flash
Katherine Moennig as Catwoman
Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin
Lawrence Fishburne as Darkseid
Dame Edna as Granny Goodness
Steve Buscemi as Desaad
John Goodman as RJ Brande
Peter Saarsgard as Tharok

[jam]

I don't often see an actor and immediately think ... hey, they'd be perfect to play such and such a super-hero.

But the one time it did happen was a couple of decades back, when I saw Jere Burns and I just immediately thought "Oliver Queen" ....

I guess he's too old for the part now but I just thought he looked perfect. A lot of the roles I've seen him in, he plays cantankerous, again, just right for ol' GA.

On some of the earlier posts : I can see why Ben Browder could be a choice for Hal Jordan. I like Browder, I like the parts he plays, but I really don't see him as Hal. I think of Hal as quite intelligent and I don't see that in Browder's parts so far (OK, I'm sure some of you will disagree, that's fine, this is just IMVHO).

[Augusto]

Dustin Hoffman as Golden Age Atom:wink:

[The Joker]

Although I would still be thrilled with Jennifer Connelly, Monica Dean is quickly becoming my favourite for Wonder Woman.

This guy is like 6'4 too. I think he's perfect.

[juggling man]

If Cate Blanchett played Wonder Woman or any other superheroine for that matter, I would crap a brick.

[Darrell D.]

I like Michael Chiklis for Guy Gardner. His Vic Mackey has that swagger, that attitude of doing the things that other cops won't do, but are necessary.
Ben Browder would make a good Hal.
I always thought Jeremy Irons would make a great Jason Blood...he can play that arrogant bastard role in his sleep.

[Augusto]

I like your choice. :biggrin: :cool: I always forget to say it but, Is The Rock a good choice to be Black Adam or better someone older??:confused:

[FabianNicieza]

The first time I saw "The Right Stuff" I said to myself; "I'll be damned...this movie's got the perfect actors for a CHALLENGERS OF THE UNKNOWN movie":

Ace Morgan = Ed Harris
Prof Haley = Scott Glenn
Red Ryan = Dennis Quaid
Rocky Davis = Fred Ward
June Robbins = Barbara Hershey

My personal one was:

Ace = Ed Harris
Prof = Steve Buscemi
Red = Jeff Bridges
Rocky = Sylvester Stallone (Rocky, get it? ;-) or Powers Booth or Fred Ward

My Challengers script idea didn't have June in it. Sorry, June. ;-(
