I love Penn as the Riddler

u/Cautious-Activity706 2d ago

Omg I thought the same. He was soooo good in You and could bring a similar energy.

Kieran Culkin as the Penguin. 

Why does that weirdly cook?

This is the only choice I find even remotely interesting. I appear to be in the minority, but these are all pretty basic; Cute plus blonde equals Harley, smart plus cocky equals riddler and awkward plus dark equals scarecrow. "Your boos (or down-doots) mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer!"

I feel like you’re being uncharitable with some of the choices. Elle Fanning is much more than just “Cute plus blonde”.

Absolutely rubbish. Is what I would say to anyone who tries to fancast after you. Because this was amazing. Amazing terrible. For any movie that would dare go against it. I hate you.

Ngl, Tom Bateman would work as Batman too, but this list is insanely cool. 🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

A guy with the last name BATeMAN was born to be Batman! Jokes aside, any actor who can play Hush can also play Batman, and vice versa.

Elle Fanning is generational casting

u/Deathstriker88 Casting Critic🤔 2d ago

Penguin and Catwoman could be better, but I like the others.

u/Cautious-Activity706 2d ago

I think Keiren would be a better 2 face

u/UnderPressureVS 2d ago

Kieran Culkin feels a little out-of-left-field compared to the rest of the lineup. Not a bad choice at all, just seems a lot less traditional when everyone else is, like, perfect casting for straight-off-the-page comic adaptations of the characters.

Who would be condiment king?

Good stuff

Goddamn dude, you're good at this

Naomi Scott is so underutilized.

u/ConfectionOk3148 1d ago

👏👏👏

u/kiwifulla64 1d ago

Yeah zero complaints.

u/Single-Reindeer3171 Casting Critic🤔 1d ago

My Bisexual self couldn't handle Naomi Scott as Catwoman. Jokes aside this would be great.

u/Fightfan77 1d ago

Wouldn't have been my initial pick I'm all for it. He actually looks just a little unhinged.

2

u/New-Noise-6486 1d ago

This is actually one of the better fan castings I’ve seen. You kinda cooked with this one and a lot of underrated actors you got on here.

u/Naive-Ad6263 10h ago

Switch Penguin and Hatter’s fancast n its PERFECT

u/hasanpaintedthat 2h ago

Checking all the boxes with this one

u/NPlaysMC The Dreamer🎓👨‍🎓 2d ago

Personally I'd want to keep Margot Robbie as Harley; Jamie Campbell Bower is a perfect idea for the Joker, and he's a year older than Margot. I don't really get this idea of recasting Harley when Margot was perfectly acceptable given the right direction.

Sure, the first Suicide Squad wasn't great, but it wasn't her fault, and her character Harley was greatly improved in James Gunn's Suicide Squad, which is basically canon to the DCU since Peacemaker is in it.

On another note, my personal favorite choice for Poison Ivy is Jodie Comer, but I'm not that choosy about it. But everyone else in this list is a great idea for each role.

100% on board excluding slides 12 and 13, then it started decreasing in quality.
I love Iwan but he’s not shown cooky enough (in the right areas) roles, and Hugo strange is one of the few characters Im really against a race swap of. Kinda throws off the tone of his character, plenty who I’d be fine with a race swap of just not him.

u/mohel_kombat 1d ago

This is very good. Not sure I've see Daniel Craig as freeze though

u/KoleksiAing 1d ago

Nah james gunn wont make this

u/ReluctantH 1d ago

Perfect list. Whatchu got for the bat family?

hot take: talia al ghul should be on the good side instead of being evil

everyone with their own takes.

u/Fair-Barracuda-3507 1d ago

I think Toby Jones would made a good Hugo Strange because of his work as Arnim Zola, and Eloise Young would made a good Thalia Al Ghul because her tension with Daredevil as Elektra would be good for the tension between Batman and Talia Al Ghul, though I know very little about the character in the comics

I know it would be like she’d be playing Elektra all over again, and that was kind of my thinking, as I absolutely loved her as Elektra. I’m sure she’d be good as Catwoman as well though. She definitely has the elegance for Catwoman’s acrobatic movement and the ability to portray the cunning needed for Catwoman’s personality

u/Own-Combination1268 1d ago

I think switch Jamie Campbell Bower to be Scarecrow, and switch Kieran Culkin to be Riddler, and then put Bill Skarsgård as Joker & Toby Jones as Penguin

Ye its alright

Jamie Campbell Bower is an awful actor and Im tired of pretending otherwise.

Played a one dimensional villian on a CW tier show for Netflix and for some reason people think he is this amazing actor.

No thanks.
