Inspired by 5 - superhero recasting

(Anonymous) 2018-09-19 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
If there's going to be a new Batman and Superman, who do you want to see playing those roles?

Are there any other superhero roles you'd like to recast and/or reboot?

SA as above, I mean to type 6, not 5. Sorry about that!

I honestly don't care? I don't think the casting was terrible. It was the story and direction that were terrible.

The casting didn't bother me. Mind you, it didn't thrill me, but it didn't bother me. But I agree, the absolutely terrible script was difficult to get past. I don't think any actors could've made that work well, and I think if the script had been great, people wouldn't be that annoyed by the casting.

I will say that I think they need an actor who can play Clark Kent and who gets that Clark is the real person, Superman is the mask. But that is as much an issue about writing and understanding the character to begin with.

Armie Hammer as a younger Batman. Honestly, just bring Tyler Hoechlin over from Supergirl to play Superman. He was great. Also, I am so proud I spelled his name right the first time.

I considered saying Hoechlin for Batman. I forgot he was playing Superman on Supergirl. I was thinking back to his Derek Hale days.

Yes! Tyler was an awesome superman, and he looks a lot like Christopher Reeves, who is my Forever Superman.

Two people have mentioned this Armie Hammer, and i've never heard of him before today. Plus - his IMDB page is a sea of things i've mostly never heard of/never watched.

Why's he suddenly 'the guy'?

He was in (probably his most Batman-ish role) The Man From UNCLE.

Ah.
I did not watch that. It just did not interest me. Thanks!

I saw a tweet about casting a black Superman/Clark Kent & I love that idea.

I wouldn't mind Armie Hammer as Batman/Bruce Wayne.

Black Batman would make more sense than Black Superman.

What? Why on earth?

Gee, isn't it amazing that we have a black Superboy in Smallville, Kansas where we also, coincidentally, have exactly one extremely athletic black child who's right around the same apparent age? Because this is rural Kansas? Where the African American population makes up less than 2% of the demographic?

Re: Inspired by 5 - superhero recasting

(Anonymous) 2018-09-20 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Meh, Superman is clearly an alien so it's not even a given that people would assume he lived in Kansas or be scrutinizing the local population to discover a secret identity that they may not even suppose he's maintaining.

1) he is an alien. 2) having superman be born in a rural part of America other than Kansas would hardly be the biggest thing that a superhero adaptation has changed. 3) it's not like there's a surplus of black billionaires in America. 4) the thematic, conceptual background of Superman is a much more interesting fit for a black actor to me than Batman.

Well, there are a lot of black families in more Southern states that live in the country - they could just have him crash-land in Alabama or something. Not much difference, except that Kansas is flat and Alabama is not. Mostly.

I wanted Aiden Gillan to play Doctor Strange and I still want that

Re: Inspired by 5 - superhero recasting

I liked Benedict, but I would totally support this casting too. Though, Aiden Gillan in everything, tbh.

Re: Inspired by 5 - superhero recasting

(Anonymous) 2018-09-20 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Benedict was better than I expected, definitely held his own. He was fine. I just think Gillan would have been amazing, and also a better match to my idea of the character.

I always want unknowns (or at least unknowns to most audience members). I prefer big name actors to play characters that aren't known in their own right, and for iconic characters to be played by actors most people have never heard of.

I don’t really care who plays them so long as they can act and the writing for them and the DC films in general stop sucking.

I'd like a 40-something Batman if it means we can have lots of Robins around, and also because we've seen 30-ish Batman before in Batman Begins. I also just kind of like a Batman around 45-ish, since that's how I envisioned him when I was reading comics ca. 5-10 years ago (this was mostly just the age I hit upon to make the approximate ages of the Robins fit without meaning a 20-something Bruce adopted a teenage Dick). I liked Affleck in this respect. Actually, I liked him in general, but I especially appreciated that his Bruce was portrayed as getting into middle age. I don't have any ideas for a replacement though.
