...in mo-cap. /s

Interesting choice, again. This movie has a really interesting cast.

 

[Anustart]

He looks like an older hugh Jackman

 

[Snake Eater]

Feisty Alfred

 

[MistahS]

Too lazy to make a thread but Colin Farrell in talks for Penguin.

Twist, Farrell is Alfred, Serkis is Penguin!

 

[Twstr709]

Loving the casting for this movie.

 

[CreepingFear]

This is the Alfred that was some sort of War Hero/Secret Agent?

 

[Wingfan19]

THR reporting now

 

[Dixie Flatline]

So do we know if the Riddler will be the primary or secondary villain? Any other villains announced?

 

[jack_package_200]

This is becoming legit one of the greatest casts of all time.

 

[cognizant]

This might end up the best Batman movie ever.

Maybe.

Looking forward to the first trailer.

No we hates the young master. The young master is destroying his life

 

[Deleted member 1248]

Outside the box choice. I dig it.

 

[jack_package_200]

The cast is a weird thirst trap for me lol

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Jeremy Irons was the one Batman related actor I really hoped they would keep.

 

[Practice?!?]

This is becoming legit one of the greatest casts of all time.

Really?

Batman Begins alone had Bale, Oldman, Freeman, Neeson, Murphy, Caine, Wilkinson, and Watanabe.

It's not even close to the best casting of a Batman movie lol

 

[carlsojo]

Killing him off in Black Panther was a massive waste.

Hurry up and cast Joaquin next, thanks Reeves.

He was good, but I won't shed a tear over his homophobic ass being gone.

I am pretty for Serkis.

 

[jack_package_200]

Wonder if they put Colin in a fatsuit

Bogus source. Already been debunked.

 

[Blader]

Whoa, Serkis and Farrell. Damn.

I really dug Jeremy Irons as Alfred, and it's a shame they won't be carrying him over, but hard to be mad about Serkis getting the gig.

The rumour is a loose adaptation of a Long Halloween, so an ensemble of baddies rather than one big bad. If true.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

I was expecting Reeves to recruit Serkis for some kind of role, but I wasn't expecting it to be Alfred. Reeves has made some interesting picks.

Succession

 

[Jombie]

That's pretty great casting.

 

[Grapezard]

He'd make for one unique Alfred, I'm all for it.

 

[Wingfan19]

lol

 

[devenger]

"Make me some potatoes, Alfred."

TWO Face???

Edit: oh it was debunked. Would've been really cool to see his take. From Lincoln Lawyer to Two-Face

 

[Blue Skies]

Please cast a Hispanic person for anything. We almost had catwoman

 

[More_Badass]

So they're looking to go the Gotham/Telltale Batman route with Penguin?

 

[hydruxo]

Man they're going with some very interesting choices for these roles and I'm digging every single one so far. Not sure I can picture Serkis as Alfred but I'm sure he'll pull it off.

 

[Scuffed]

I think he overacts. This is great for mocap but not so good otherwise. I think this and the Farrell casting are big mistakes. It seems like we are going to get a really campy Batman.

 

[Mariolee]

Please let this be a joke. I can't stand Josh Gad.

Looks exactly like Jeremy Irons lol.

I think farrell is great but yeah im iffy on serkis for alfred as well. Hes entertaining but dials it all the way up in live action so far.

Was hoping theyd just keep irons or go to jared harris for alfred

Could be good tho

 

[Alienous]

Maybe this will be the Alfred that finally punches Bruce and flips a tea tray. Serkis could pull it off.
