Elizabeth Lail for DCEU Supergirl/Kara Zor El

[joanthangroff]

I had to write some Tops & Flops for a topic of my choosing for the newspaper and because @xgirlsjustwannahavefunx prompted it I chose “Actors to play Bruce Wayne”. Now look, usually those articles are literally just one-word rankings but I just couldn’t shut up. So I’mma share some of my thoughts with y’all:

Tops

Richard Madden. Look, I don’t know the dude, no idea who he played and how he played them, but I think he could be an aesthetic fit, if styled correctly. I only saw an article with the same topic at some point mentioning him, so I googled and thought yeah, okay.

Riz Ahmed. He plays serious characters so, so well, and if I trust the Venom gifsets I’ve seen (because I still haven’t watched it), he can also have a twisted, dark side to them. They’re complex, just like Bruce should be. Also, I want a PoC Batman just because.

Idris Elba. Whom the hell can’t he play?

Robert Pattinson. Before you yell at me: Consider it. What did Twilight tell us? Rob can pull of the broody good guy. And other movies showed that he can play a range of different characters, so I’m positive he could pull off Bruce. Also, thinking realistically, it would widen the target group because all the Twilight-fans and middle-aged women who developed crushes on him years ago will go see him as a bat.

David Mazouz. The solo movie is supposed to be a younger Batman and if David proved one thing in his run on Gotham, then it’s that he’s great at that. I love him as Bruce, sue me. Also, I’ve already mentioned it before but in my head, all the post-2000-Batmans are the same character at different times of his life. So, basically, David’s Bruce is a younger version of Batfleck for me either way. It fits!

Flops

Armie Hammer. Look, I’ve been in the DC fandom for a while. I’ve seen all the edits where he was Hal Jordan and I’m not willing to give up that idea. It just doesn’t work with my brain. Also, given his casting in Call Me By Your Name, I think it would only encourage people to ship him with any of the Batkids, and that’s a huge no-go for me.

Dylan O’Brien. Dylan’s a freaking superb actor, that’s without contest. Still, I don’t think he’d be a great Bruce, to be honest. I can’t really say why because in The Maze Runner he proved he can leave behind his baby-face and look damn serious, but... I still see it. Plus, he’s not conventionally attractive enough to play Bruce (though he is damn pretty).

Noah Centineo. I’ve kind of envisioned him as Jason ever since I first saw him, truth be told. Which is weird because when I first considered him as the role of Bruce I went “Damn, those Chick Flicks really stripped that seriousness off him” because I just couldn’t make it fit. So yeah, the point stands, even though, technically, the same should go for my casting him as Jason. My brain is weird like that.

Nicholas Hoult. He looks too happy! Also, Marvel could still use him plenty for the X-Men-Franchise, so it wouldn’t make sense if he were cast as one of the biggest DC characters, if you ask me. How the hell are people thinking it could be him?

Hey guys. Been a while since I’ve been here.

But I went through a lot during these past three years, most notably after my father died (if you recall).

But, I just wanted to say that even though I’m disappointed they didn’t cast a woc as Helena Bertinelli in Birds of Prey, I’m still willing to give the movie a shot.

I’m still deeply disappointed they didn’t cast a woc as Helena, and more specifically a black woman.

But I still might see the movie just to support it, and more importantly, support Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary.

On a related note, SDCC badges will go on sale soon. I hope to be able to go to Comic-Con next year and attend any inevitable DC panels that will give us more info on the Birds of Prey movie.

This aside, I hope you are all doing well.

And I hope to speak to you again soon.

With Birds of Prey expected to begin filming in early 2019, casting announcements are likely to emerge sooner rather than later. According to a report from Heroic Hollywood, Warner Bros. is reporte…

Details such as who Warner Bros. is eyeing for the role remain under wraps. It’ll be an interesting announcement, regardless, as the studio continues to make efforts at diversifying its film casts.

I don’t know what to think about Dylan O’Brien as Nightwing tbh ‘cause on one hand I would love for him to play him, but on another, he just isn’t who I imagined Dick as. He feels more like Tim tbh.

Rosie Perez Cast As Detective Renee Montoya in DC’s ‘Birds of Prey’

Warner Bros. and DC’s Birds of Prey is shaping up to be quite the project. Focusing on a group of versatile heroines lead by Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, the film is aiming to push the…

The Puerto Rican star is an ace of all trades being an actress, activist, dancer, and choreographer. She has been featured in countless projects both on TV and in film, but many immediately recognize her from her breakout roles in Do The Right Thing and White Men Can’t Jump. She also choreographed all the dancing seen on the hit tv comedy show In Living Color.

Chubby Villains: please

Guys, guys, think about it tho C H U B B Y P O I S O N I V Y Like really tho I want them to cast a fat/chubby actress to play Pam in the DCEU. I want a chubby fan fav villain please. I want her to be chubby but at the same time I don’t even want it to be mentioned you know? No “I’m on a diet” or self deprecating fat jokes or fat jokes from other people. I want chubby Ivy and I want it to be normalized. If it’s gonna be openly mentioned I want it to be her shutting down some asshole and then like killing him with her plants/toxin bc she’s a chubby villain and that’s what’s gonna happen if you fuck w a villain. OR may I present to you the thought of C H U B B Y C A T W O M A N Like a fat/chubby cat burglar?? Still wears tight clothes?? Still a badass?? STILL HAS A COMPLEX RELATIONSHIP W THE BAT?? I want this. I want this so hard. I want her to still intimidate and outwit the bat, I want to see Bruce spend just as much time fighting her and trying to catch her, I want her character to be treated exactly the same, just tack on more weight. I know it won’t happen, but I would die of joy if it did. Please let this fat girl see someone who has her body type be a badass villain. Please.
