#admittedly i'm not smart but hopefully the vibe is there

[hehearse]

for @mondfuchs  who let me rumble about shared pain, shared experiences and trust nurtured for decades :”)

[screamxqueenx94]

So, just for the fun of it, I'm going to do my own casting of The Batfam and who I would like to see play these particular characters in a movie (yes, I know some are already portrayed in Titans or other onscreen adaptions, but again, just for fun lol) if you guys agree with my picks or have your own opinions, feel free to comment or reblog, just no reposts please! [I don't own any of the gifs, so shout out to the creators]

Batman/Bruce Wayne- Josh Hartnett

Hear me out! So many bigger stars have played Batman and if I'm being honest, only one of them was actually good at it (looking at you, Michael Keaton) Josh isn't as big as some of them and is such an underrated actor. He has range! And he's very handsome. He could easily play the Caped Crusader and would really be dedicated to the role. He was offered the role in Batman Begins years ago, but turned it down due to fear of being pigeonholed, but has actively said he regrets that, so I feel if he was given the chance, he'd absolutely nail it! And he wouldn't have to change his voice too much since he has a naturally deep voice!

Nightwing/Dick Grayson-Dylan O'Brien

Now here's another actor with range! Not only that, but he has proven on many occasions that he can do action scenes despite suffering from Osgood–Schlatter disease. He and Josh have the perfect age gap to match Bruce and Dick perfectly. He also has a very similar build to Dick Grayson and has done enough comedic work that he could pull off Dick's more laid back persona versus the others. Dylan is also a huge comic book fan with his favorites being Spiderman and Batman, that he would know how his character would react naturally to different situations. Plus, Dick Grayson has the best booty in comics and Dylan has the best booty in real life. You can't just let stuff like that slide!

Red Hood/Jason Todd- Matthew Daddario

Okay, so I know that technically he's a couple years older than Dylan, but Matthew would be a great Jason Todd post Lazarus Pit, think about it. Jason died as a teen, but was reintroduced as an adult (22 years old) and was suddenly ripped and shit. Matthew fits that to a tee. Admittedly, I don't know much of his acting besides a few episodes of Shadowhunters and in Delivery Man, but I enjoyed his work in both, and now know he can do action. I do believe he could play a dark and brooding character such as Jason Todd if given the opportunity.

Red Robin/Tim Drake- Lance Lim

[Couldn't find any gifs of Lance Lim]

Some of you might find this one surprising, but it totally makes sense if you think about it. Let's start off with stature; Lance is 5 ft. 4in., Tim is the smallest built of all the Robins (apart from Damien who is a literal child). He's also on the more slender side, which, again, makes him physically perfect for Tim. While Tim can throw down, he was always more brains than anything and I think Lance could really bring that to life. Next, Lance is also not as well known, but has the potential and the time to grow as an actor and playing Tim Drake would really do that for him since he is not utilized in media as much as Jason or Dick. Hopefully he's also comfortable playing a bisexual character since Tim Drake has been confirmed as bisexual.

Oracle/Barbara Gordan- Emma Stone

I noticed she is a fan favorite, but I really do think she would be perfect. I talked about range a few times, and she's another actor who has that. Barbra is a very smart, sassy feminist type of woman and Emma just gives off those vibes to me. She fits the physical look too. Lean, redheaded, blue/green eyes and is literally only an inch taller than what Barbara is in the comics. She's also close enough in age with Dylan for Babs and Dick's canon relationship to either be current, or part of their past. Her playing Babs would be semi different for her. She did play Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spiderman, but to be an actual hero rather than just a love interest, I really think would be a huge step up for her. Plus, like I said before, she's a fan favorite and I think that also says a lot.

Catwoman/Selina Kyle- Dania Ramirez

Dania is very familiar with the superhero world due to her being in Heroes and X-MEN 3: The Last Stand. She, like four of the other actors I mentioned, has range. She can be a hero or a villain and that's perfect for Catwoman since she is, in fact, an antihero. Also, I'd like to mention that she has a great body for a catsuit! Since she has done action before, she would have no problem getting into the roll and being dedicated to said roll.

Huntress/Helena Bertinelli- Vanessa Morgan

Tbh, I don't really have an explanation for this one. I just really wanna see her in the roll. I think it could really help skyrocket her into stardom.

Batgirl/Cassandra Cain- Lana Condor

Okay, I know most people want her to come back as Jubilee again, and rightfully so. But I think getting to play Cassandra would be perfect for her. First of all, she's the one who's the most familiar with action and superheroes out of everyone on the list so far with her work in X-MEN: Apocalypse, Deadly Class and Alita: Battle Angel. Cassandra is a character who's a little rough around the edges, but is determined to be a good person and do the right thing considering she was raised around assassins and was trained to be one, with how much there is to unload there, I think Lana's got this in the bag.

Spoiler/Stephanie Brown- Chloë Grace Moretz

I swear this girl was born to play action roles! She literally trained with Jackie Chan and his crew to play Hit Girl, and still keeps up with it. She's also close enough in age to match with Lance for a canon relationship. Stephanie wouldn't be all that different from Hit Girl, but she would be playing someone with a more positive outlook on life and I definitely think she could pull it off.

The Signal/Duke Thomas- Chosen Jacobs

Okay, so I've only seen him in the It franchise, but I feel like with him being so young, not only could he pull off the roll, it'll also give him a chance to really widen his range as an actor. He still looks young enough to play Duke as well.

I think I'm going to make a part two, but tell me what you guys think! Again, feel free to comment and share and like to let me know what you think of my casting choices!
