News On Future Films Based on Comics/Paranormal/Sci-Fi

You guys really think RDJ would make a good Batman? He'd be a great Bruce Wayne but a horrid Batman. Just get Josh Brolin and make him the "super detective he is in the comics.

Nah, don't let the Spider-Man like quips and one liners fool you, RDJR is a very good actor and apparently very underrated. I was honestly waiting to see if Marvel would get a little dark and tackle the Demon In the Bottle Tony Stark and quite frankly I'm waiting for RDJR to tackle a role dealing with drug abuse or addiction since that touches on a big part of his personal life.

That aside I can definitely see him pull off the brooding, methodical, obsessed Bruce Wayne/Batman (something we haven't seen done with Bats in a movie yet). The Batman as a myth to a degree but that's all from an acting standpoint. Not now since he's too old (not that he'd need to get insane shape to get in one of those suits that have the abs and biceps carved in the design :lol: ). Sad thing is say he was cast as Batman w/e director would probably still go for the RDJR in his lighter roles and try to squeeze in some comedy when it really shouldn't be coming from Batman.

Basically you tell RDJR to be really serious and he can do that and do it exceptionally.

On a related note, I think Johnny Depp could've been a great Batman as well but more Frank Miller's TDKR Batman in personality.

Orlando Bloom To Play BATMAN In MAN OF STEEL Sequel?

Before Bloom, 36, gets to drive the Batmobile, however, he faces opposition from American stars including Ryan Gosling, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and ­newcomer Armie Hammer.

But a senior source at Warner Bros studio confirmed: “Orlando looks odds-on to get the part even before our first casting call.

“He would be perfect to play off Henry and I think US audiences would be happy with two Brits as the joint male leads.”

Why would anyone think the US audience would be happy with two Brits playing these parts? That's irrelevant as ****. That's like saying if FOX made Sabertooth one of the Hemsworth brothers we'd be happy that two Aussies got those roles.

With that said, Orlando could pull it off. Just seen his movie The Good Doctor a few weeks ago, nothing like Batman or the Bruce Wayne character really, but he could do it. Now he might need to gain some muscle. He's pretty skinny and lanky looking.

Not sold on Gosling as Batman, would bring in the $ cuz he's a great actor but don't know if he fits.

:lol: @ that SF pic RFX
 
Since we're on the topic of casting... If it was up to you to cast the next Batman project, who would you have in the film (story, main characters, villains, etc). 

The film would not have an origin story, I assume everyone knows who Batman is... Parents were killed, trained, became Batman blah blah blah. I would love to see a "one shot" type of film where it felt like just one comic book issue. If you've seen Dredd or Raid: Redemption, it would be awesome to see Batman trapped in Arkam. Loosely based on the game and the book "Arkam Asylum," Batman would be suckered into the Arkam and from there would have to find a way out. I know we'd get to the issue of too many damn villains in a movie but dammit this is my movie

BATMAN : ARKAM ASYLUM 

- Harvey Bullock- Loved his character in the animated series. He wasn't dirty nor was he corrupt. Just a tough rough Gotham city Detective, who is Jim's go to guy. I felt they had a distorted version of him in Batman Begins with Flass but never captured the Bullock character. Odd casting here but good ol' Michael Rooker would be great. We've seen his Merle Dickson in action, so why not let him play Bullock. 

I know I may take some heat for this but, No Alfred in the movie (not just yet.) Maybe down the line but for a change we would have Barbara Gordon assisting the Dark Knight. 

- Barbara Gordon aka Oracle- It would be nice to see Batman have a sidekick but not Robin just yet. Yes I know it would go against the continuity but we could set up that Robin (Richard Grayson) is Nightwing and isn't in Gotham City but in Bludhaven. When I first saw Emma Stone and her red hair, I immediately thought she would either be great as Mary Jane or Batgirl. She wasn't cast as Mary Jane (big mistake) but with her nearing the end in the Spidey Franchise (spoiler alert) she would be great as Barbara.

- Jim Gordon- Yes we know Gary Oldman was great in his role as commish, he looked and sounded like the guy but new movie means new actor. If Bryan Cranston isn't Lex then I would cast him as Gordon. He was great in the Batman:Year One animated movie and the mans acting skills is top notch.

- Hugo Strange- Would be our main villain in the film. It's certainly a different and fresh villain that we haven't seen portrayed in any of the films. His character would likely play mind games with the Dark Knight. He would eventually be used to tease future villains in the Batman film by flooding Gotham with escaped inmates. Strange would release the gates of villains for Batman to fight (Killer Croc, Zaz, Clay face, etc.) Stanley Tucci would be a great Strange. If you've seen The Terminal, he was the main antagonist in the film and was damn good in it not letting Tom Hanks out. And yes, he is bald 
laugh.gif


- Batman- The big question, "Who's going to replace Bale?" Of course we would know by the time the project would start due to MOS2. But if I were casting, I'd give the role to George Clooney. If there was ever one role he wishes he could correct it would be that one. In a perfect world Batman and Robin never existed. Great actor and scene stealer in anything he's in, and at the age of 52 years old he's would certainly be an "aged" and "established" Frank Miller-esque Batman. Let's not worry about the age, I think we're getting to the point where the franchise can live under "James Bond" rules. Different actor same character. 

And of course it wouldn't be right to have an Arkam/Batman film without one character. The Clown Prince of Crime himself The Joker. I could imagine the film where Strange is constantly telling the guards not to release a "mentally unstable" prisoner from his high security cell... but towards the end of the film we see a pair of white hands with green finger nails clutch the cell bars and gently pushes it to see that he has been released by Harley Quinn. No actors would be cast just yet, just a set up for the next film. 

Certainly these aren't the only actors I'd want in the film but these would be the main players.

Apparently Disney banned him from drinking. Don't remember if he even drunk in the latest movie.
 
I remember Stark drunk in IM2..... They really didn't take it far though....

I don't know about you guys but Bruce is supposed to be a mammoth of a man..... I think you need a pretty tall and jacked up guy to play him.... I find it odd to have Batman looking up at enemies let alone police officers and Alfred.... You have to get a guy that is like 6'2 or taller.... That guy Arnie Hammer might have the best look I have no idea if he could pull off Bruce Wayne/Batman as an actor though....

Got two words for you and Clooney: bat nipples
 
Only one and done story I want to see a Bat movie tackle is the Killing Joke. Full on crippling scenes and the joke at the end :lol:

I'm pretty sure he had a drink and offered it one to Loki in Avengers so the ban would have to come in after that but ah well. I can get it and I'm not that mad. Disney wants these superhero flicks accessible to all ages to an extent. It's why they went with ppd for IM3 and I figured they'd never tackle alcoholism in a superhero movie. I just wanted them to hint at it with a typical story of Tony is spinning out of control again, loses his company, hits rock bottom and has to build himself back up again.
 
Isn't that what IM2 did?

They alluded to him losing control at the party, he stepped down as CEO, Sam locks him in his own house and he finds new element to build back up.
 
Yeah IM 2 was supposed to be "demon in a bottle" with Rhodes taking the iron man suit and tony getting wasted :smh:

And it was still better than IM3
 
If Orlando bloom is cast then the movie is gonna suck

Dude is tiny and not intimidating looking either.


get gosling or the dude from that tv show who was up for the Supes part.
I can't remember his name

Orlando can bulk up, he has time. But if you actually look at the history of actors who has played Batman, Bale is the only one that is considered ripped and he wasn't even Gerard Butler ripped. Clooney, Kilmer & Keaton? They got the suit to help them look bigger.

True.
But there's a reason why bale is considered the best batman.
Dude looked the part.

Goddamnit I can't remember his name but the dude who was up for the Supes part would be perfect.

you really want cavil who's 6'1 and huge beating down on Orlando bloom :lol:

Iono maybe I just don't see it.
 
Superman is suppose to be bigger than Batman. Bloom is still 5'10" and add an inch or two with batboots and you're good to go. I dont know if Bale is considered the best Bruce and even if people think he is, I doubt it is mainly due to his build. Plenty out there would still argue Adam West is the best and Keaton was really more of an embodiment of Bruce from the comics than Bale.

If that was the intention I'm really not seeing it. I mean if you read Demon In A Bottle it'd be carried out better than IM2.
 
Disney/Marvel has another dud of a cartoon in Hulk and the Agents of SMASH. To sum it up its awful. No adult appeal whatsoever.

Demon in a Bottle was the main inspiration for IM2 similar to how the ultimates was the main inspiration for Avengers. They took some ky ideas and made it the focus of the movie the latter being Tony kind've getting used to his role as iron man and becoming a bit careless. As corny as the party scene was with Rhodey and Tony fighting each other, I can tell they really emphasized that scene to be the homage to demon in a bottle, with Rhodey taking his suit and all. Smh it was horrible though. The movie sucked. I like to think of IM 1 being the only real iron man movie and IM2 and IM3 are in some kind've of parallel universe where bad scripts are the norm
 
Iron Man 2 and 3 don't exist to me. The dropoff in quality is so bad from the first one.
 
Don't expect their cartoons to appeal to adults. they never been about that and being under Disney there will be more focus on the kids. The last time they had all ages cartoon appeal was in the 90s.

Yeah like I said I'm not seeing it. Don't really agree with that comparison either. If IM2's main inspiration was DIAB they failed to where you wouldn't think of one if the other was mentioned where as it's not at all hard to see how the Ultimates inspiration is the Avengers just updated to modern times.

Lol remember when all the speculation on who Vin Diesel would be playing in the Marvel Cinematic universe. Is he the Vision, is he panther, is he Thanos. Well he might actually just be voicing Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy. Meh I guess he could sound like a tree...

Real question, who's voicing Rocket Racoon

Gilbert Godfrey should voice Rocket
