The talent that filmmaker Matt Reeves has assembled for TheBatman harkens back to the Dark Knight trilogy
in negotiations to portray The Penguin. While there are a few more characters rumored to be featured in the film, it seems that Reeves has found his primary players. Each of these actors is taking on an iconic role that has been cemented in the public consciousness by a prior performances that led to increased stardom and demand.
, and even considering the leading roles some of those actors have held over the years, and it becomes clear that there is something different brewing here than the average superhero movie. These are all actors who have thrived in supporting roles, developed their own tics, and rhythms that demand the viewers' attention even when they’re sharing a screen with a bigger name.
Even looking at the shortlists and failed negotiations that impacted Reeves’ film provide a lens into a film that is looking for performances a bit more off-kilter and surprising than what’s expected. Gotham City is a strange world, befitting actors willing to get strange and walk the line between naturalism and camp. The ability of Reeves to go from Jonah Hill to Colin Farrell speaks to his larger casting ambitious, one that isn’t limited to body types, age rage, or nationality.
Reeves has picked actors who might not match the look of comic counterparts to a tee, but have the acting capabilities to bring these characters to life in not only new ways, but lasting ones. It's possible that will not only launch a new trilogy but create a larger Batman universe that includes characters like Batgirl and Nightwing. Longevity has become as equally important to superhero movie casting as talent.
