  • Nerdiest Thread Ever? Post Your Comic Adaptation Casting Ideas!

    Who among us does not lie awaye at night casting comic book adaptations in their heads before bed time? We all do it, especially Todd. He talks about it a lot.

    So post your ideas here.

    There are obvious choices like Shawn MacGowan as Cassidy in Preacher or Danzig as Wolverine but dig deeper on this one.

    Here's a few, of the top of my head:

    Patrick Stewart as The Silver Surfer. Someone younger might have to play the Norrin Rad character but when I read the original Lee/Buscema comics, in my head at least The Silver Surfer sounds like Patrick Stewart or maybe Christopher Lee. He's got one of THOSE voices though.

    WWE superstar John Morrison as Daredevil! He's got the moves down pat and could probably convincingly leap around and spin off of flagpoles and look good doing it, just like ol' hornhead. I wonder if he can act though? Hard to say. He plays his wrestling character well, but most wrestler's don't ever get out of that zone.

    Joey DeMaio from MANOWAR as Thor. He'd lift up a valkyrie by her crotch with one hand, jump over her, and then bang her in true viking style and this would be before he even got the role. In fact, the role would be given to someone else but Joey would hit the casting director with a hammer and change his mind.

    I have more dumb ideas in this department that I'll post later.

    I always pictured a young Harvey Keitel as Wolverine. Imagine him going berserk?

    I always pictured a young John Saxon as Batman. He was born to play Bruce Wayne.

    I guess my age is definitely showing in this thread.

      A young Keitel as Wolverine is an awesome idea.

      I'm buying Saxon as Bruce Wayne, but I dunno how he'd be in the suit?

        Jim Kelly as Black Lightning would be rad.

        Triple H as Conan (I'm on a wrestling kick tonight)

          Saxon couldn't be any worse than Keaton.

            I would've paid good money to see that!

              See, I like Keaton as Bruce Wayne, but not as Batman. This is a problem with Batman casting choices. He who works as Bruce may not work in the suit.

                    Here's a pic of Saxon (current?) working out.




                    Maybe someone could photoshop the suit on him?

                      It's about movies.

                      Charlie, we met John about three years ago. He was super nice and very happy to sign Enter The Dragon instead of Nightmare on Elm St (horror convention apperance and all that) but he didn't look like he was in the best of shape. I'd love to think it was an off day but he didn't look like he could lift a weight that size. I'd question how old that shot is.

                      He was definitely a cool guy though.

                        Michael Jai White as Black Lightning, but made in the 70s. He could pull it off easy.

                        I got nothing else. I don't think about these things.

                          Liar.

                          That's not a bad choice though.

                          Andre The Giant or Big Show as The Blob in another X-Men movie.

                          Wrestling is on my brain tonight.

                            The late Erland Van Lidth as The Kingpin.

                              That's my problem with Christian Bale. Lousy Batman, but then again I think that may be Christopher Nolan's fault. He seems almost embarrassed of Batman, which is why you see him for all of fifteen minutes in BATMAN BEGINS, and the DARK KNIGHT should have been called THE JOKER MEETS TWO-FACE, AND BATMAN WEARS NIGHT GOGGLES, OR SOME SHIT.
                              Now everyone can have a complete KRULL lifestyle.
