So glad seeing all the JK Simmons mentions- perfect casting for sure, he just nailed it.

More recently I know with Marvel they've recast Bruce Banner plenty of times, but even without current Avengers hyperbole Mark Ruffalo does an awesome job, and he's definitely done the best job as the character yet IMO.

On the flip side, as good as Nolan's trilogy is too, anyone who says Christian Bale as Batman needs to be laughed out the thread.

[yogloo]

I expected his picture to be everywhere in this thread but I'm really fucking disappointed that only a few intelligent human beings have noted his performance

It is amazing how Reeve made that ridiculous suit believable.

[Fusebox]

Downey Jr as Iron Man is my favourite, and I'm not even a huge fan of the Iron Man comics.

[The Anti-Monitor]

Yeah I don't have an updated version. lol

[kunonabi]

Suit looks better than the garbage they're putting out in Man of Steel.

[cj_iwakura]

Really liked bale as batman in BB. I loved him as a youthful, inexperienced but still skilled and hungry batman. He just got his shit stole in the sequel by Ledger.

I honestly think he's better at playing Wayne than Batman. He looks the part of a millionaire who could kick ass if needed, but he sounds silly in the suit.


And I dread the new Spider Man reboot, because without Simmons as JJ, there's no hope.

[Alligatorjandro]

RDY as ironman
Bale as Batman
Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier
Hemsworth as Thor

[Banglish]

Casting doesn't get much better than this.....

I hope no one watched this.. did anyone watch this?

[BigDug13]

I hope no one watched this.. did anyone watch this?

I watched the rifftrax version. Pretty funny.

[TruePrime]

I hope no one watched this.. did anyone watch this?

I've watched it not once, but twice.

[bryanee]

My personal faves

Heath Ledger - The Joker



Christian Bale - Batman (Begins)



Michael Keaton - Batman



Aaron Eckhart - Two-Face



Gary Oldman - Gordan



Michael Fassbender - Magneto



Chloe Moretz - Hitgirl



Chris Hemsworth - Thor



Man this thread reminded me of how much I hate Catwomans origin in Batman Returns, fantastic character but the origin annoys the crap out of me in that film.

[bangladesh]

I've heard people saying they don't like Bale as Wayne/Batman. But I actually think he's a very thoughtful choice and fits the role for the following reasons:

- He is able to look like a handsome, rich businessman very well

- He's got the eyes of a killer, this man has a short fuse. He is upset. And like Nolan said, he looks like the type of guy who would commit to an outlandish lifestyle

- He looks like a vampire.. A nice touch for someone who lives in a manor with an alternate persona of 'Batman', like a count


Chris Nolan has amazing taste and I agree with all his casting decisions.

[jett]

Suit looks better than the garbage they're putting out in Man of Steel.

Reeves looks like he's wearing pajamas.

[MisterHero]

Reeves looks like he's wearing pajamas.

He doesn't care, he can asplode you with his eyes

[~Devil Trigger~]

Fassbender fangirls be crazy.

Shitty Magneto is shitty

[Sentry]

[KevinCow]

Shitty Magneto is shitty

I know you did not just insult Sir Ian McKellen.

[TheJollyCorner]

Pretty much agree with what's been posted so far, but came in the disrupt the Marvel/DC lovefest I am terrified wondering who they're going to cast in the remake.

came to post this. Bravo.


As much as I love The Crow, it absolutely breaks my heart watching it. A truly haunting final performance.

[EliteArtist]

I still enjoy this film to today because of this man right here. Thats amazing casting right there.

[Parallax]

He was a terrible Deadpool. Especially after the abomination that he became in the end of the movie.

He talked too much and annoyed the people he was with. He was fantastic as wade, but then fox gutterballed it with the amalgam creature he turned into.

[KillGore]

BELIEVE

I like what I'm seeing from him on the trailers

[surrealist]

Agreed with RDJ. That charisma. And while I love Bale as Batman, he really doesn't define the role.

Anyway, just to mix things up a bit, adding this:

[Gentleman Jack]

Ctrl + F "Tom Hanks"

What.

WHAT.

I can't be the only one who loved Road to Perdition.

[KillGore]

Ctrl + F "Tom Hanks" What. WHAT. I can't be the only one who loved Road to Perdition.

You weren't, I also liked it. I wish the two books that came after the comic were made into films. Someday.

[Ultima_5]

[KevinCow]

BELIEVE I like what I'm seeing from him on the trailers

He's made more Spidey quips in the trailers than Tobey did in three movies.

[LakeEarth]

Something I like about Ruffalo's performance as the Hulk is that he doesn't play it like Bana and Norton, as a tortured soul, woe is me kind of attutude. Ruffalo has this "easy going because he has to", hands off-ish attitude, where he can't let anything bug him even though it totally does. At least that's how I see it.

[MrCunningham]

It's about time someone recognized West. He didn't need big thick restrictive body armor to kick ass, just a fist full of onomatopoeia's.

[megashock5]

It is amazing how Reeve made that ridiculous suit believable.

Exactly, you never even questioned it.

My favorite thing about the original Donner film is the sense of awe that people had upon witnessing Superman. The helicopter scene is the best because there's this whole "HOLY SHIT THAT DUDE JUST FLEW!!!" vibe that we don't really see much these days. The crowd in that scene were stunned in amazement, which is what would happen if some guy flew up and caught a helicopter.

[Salvor.Hardin]

BELIEVE I like what I'm seeing from him on the trailers

From what I've seen, he's exactly what the Ultimate Spider-Man Pete would be like. But he's going to get shit because nerds think he's a hipster or something equally moronic.

It's sad that this is true. :lol Yeah Garfield seems like the perfect incarnation of Ult. Spidey.

[JB1981]

THIS! So twisted and hot! That movie doesn't get enough credit.

God Pfeiffer was soooooo hot back in the day.

[daviyoung]

Rorschach is a great choice

It really is. And definitely my favourite movie interpretation of a comic book character. He was pretty much 1:1.

[DrForester]

Thread has totally forgotten the two best Batmans. West and Conroy.

[UnluckyKate]

Iron Man is now basically my favorite superhero only because of RDJ's performance.

:)

[MrCunningham]

Thread has totally forgotten the two best Batmans. West and Conroy.

Conroy still gets quite a bit of love for his version of Batman, and rightfully so. But when these "who's the best Batman" debates pop up, nobody ever talks about Val Kilmer or George Clooney.



The question is... Which one is slightly more tolerable?

It's been years since I've seen them, but if I remember right I preferred Kilmer as Bruce Wayne, and Clooney as Batman. The problem is, their characters were written terribly in those, so it's hard to say which would actually be better

[MrCunningham]

Which is pretty ironic, because both Clooney and Kilmer are both really solid actors in their own rights. Shame that Batman Forever really hurt Kilmers career. He was excellent in Heat.

Exactly. I really liked Val Kilmer as an actor, and it would have been interesting to see where he could have gone with a good Batman movie.

They were both in crap movies, and neither was that good at Batman. if I had to pick one, I'd probably go with Kilmer. Clooney was phoning it in the entire time.

Clooney - while being a great actor - is the worst Batman and Wayne by far.

[Master Thespian]

I'm gonna go with RDJ because I can't think of another actor who not only nailed the part, but did so in such a fashion that he elevated the character up a tier or two in comics and about five or six in mainstream recognition.

[megashock5]

This is true, too. Right now Iron Man is arguably as popular as Spider-man with non-comic readers. That was *never* the case before that first film and RDJ's performance.

[DoubleTap]

He was a terrible Deadpool. Especially after the abomination that he became in the end of the movie. I wouldn't made if they made a movie where you see dead pool looking like a normal dude in the beginning then his transformation due to Weapon X (healing factor) but his face and body have to be scarred due to his cancer afterwards and he'd have to wear a full body suit like he does in the comics.

I agree that the DeadPool depiction in Origins was horrible, especially post-op. Thank God no one considered it canon, which is why I mentioned the standalone movie should be made. I disagree the RR was terrible for the role though. I thought he pulled it off without even trying.

[shintoki]

Those nipple suits

[Shig]

Ctrl + F "Tom Hanks" What. WHAT. I can't be the only one who loved Road to Perdition.

Paul Newman and Jude Law were also fantastic.

I'm not sure exactly how well it fits the comic version as I was never really an Iron Man fan, but Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts has been a standout to me. She's much more three-dimensional than most comic damsels and volleys back from RDJ's narcissistic quips very well.

[Stealth Editor]

He's made more Spidey quips in the trailers than Tobey did in three movies.

Tobey was an awful Spidey. It boggles my mind how anyone can enjoy his performances.

New one is looking good so far.

[y2dvd]
