Chow Yun Fat. Oh wait.

Oh, we're bringing back Cast an RPG, too? What's next: Random Chat Logs? Create-A-Post?

@Eddie Brock

I've only had one original thought in my life.

And it wasn't very good.

@Eddie Brock

Well if we really wanted to make sure dropping a player wouldn’t screw up continuity-

_{im so sorry}

@Lord Wraith

Jane Levy if I was going for a younger looking Bekka (she is supposed to be an ageless goddess of compassion). Bryce Dallas Howard for someone with a bit more mileage.

Hmm. This Batman, specifically? Probably a 30-year-old Richard Armitage.



Though I could also see a young Michael Fassbender, Luke Evans, or Jon Hamm working quite well.

Coincidentally, aside from Fassbender due to his established role as Magneto, those actors are also who I hope Matt Reeves is at least looking at for his Batman movie. After two and a half movies, I'm ready to see Affleck retire the role. He just doesn't seem to be having a good time, and I've never really bought into him as Batman anyway, given that most of the actors to have played the role didn't have huge careers prior to being cast. All I could ever see was Ben Affleck in a Batman costume, given he was a veteran actor/director when he landed it.

Though, by that logic, Reeves should be looking at nothing but unknowns.

Eh. This is why I'm not a casting director.

@Master Bruce

I've always casted Batman as Jim Caviezel, though he is way too old now to play a youthful Bruce at this point. But yeah all those choices would be interesting.

@Master Bruce

Luke Evans looks too swarmy for me and Jon Hamm too old for what the rumors have been saying is going to be a Year One movie. Honestly have no idea who I'd cast, but I feel as though Bats needs to be played by someone who can pull off classically good look but also have enough gravitas and roughness to him to be the Dark Knight.

[Simple Unicycle]

Considering I already kinda stole an actor's face and stuck it on my character, might as well say the two that I was considering before I went with Chow: Keanu Reeves (due to John Wick), and Sam Lake (because of Max Payne).

[Byrd Man]

We already had the perfect John Constantine. His name was Keanu Reeves. Moving on!

@Lord Wraith

Batman's admittedly a pretty tall order in terms of casting. You have to juggle alot of plates as an actor, I imagine.

I trust Reeves to choose somebody capable of bringing it to the table. He cast Toby Kebbell and Woody Harrelson as the villains in both of his Planet Of The Apes movies, and they both put in fucking amazing performances. War For The Planet Of The Apes is 90% of the reason why I'm hyped for him to be the one to tackle Batman next, as it's a brilliant piece of filmmaking.

@Lord Wraith

I practically never think of live-action actors portraying my characters. Generally I look at a bunch of comic art and/or fan-art and try to match my writing to whatever aesthetic arises out of that.

So, not including obvious re-treads of DCAU/YJ/DCEU incarnations of characters, the strongest influences on how I envision my characters looking, acting, or speaking in this particular incarnation are:

Superman

Ippo from Hajime No Ippo

Lois Lane

Miss Pauling from Team Fortress 2

Jimmy Olsen

Lance from Voltron: Legendary Defender

Dr. John Henry Irons

Bernard from Westworld

Mxy

Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls

Someone needs to get Mahz to make an ANGERY reaction (if they can get him to get off vacation that is).

1980's era Sting has something to say about that...

@Simple Unicycle

For real though, the Constantine movie worked really well as a generic supernatural thriller/mystery. As an adaptation of Hellblazer of was piss poor.

@Byrd Man

You say that in jest, but apart from having basically nothing to do with the comics, I rather liked Constantine as its own thing. As an adaptation of Hellblazer, yeah, it was a goddamn mess. But on its own it's rather fun.

@Byrd Man

Yeah, that's probably one of the worst examples of a comic book adaptation that takes huge liberties with the source material.
