Yeah, I really think Lee Pace is seeing his day in Hollywood, and he’d make such a great Batman for so many reasons. I recently watched Bodies Bodies Bodies after seeing him in Foundation, and I’ve got to say that man’s got RANGE! Between that, his look, and his sheer size, he’s a no-brainer. It’d be a hugely missed opportunity, imo. He almost reminds me of Bale prior to BB.
As for Jor-El, my vote is someone who can sell the same contemplative gravitas as Brando. Anthony Hopkins or Brian Cox would be older picks in that category. On the younger side, I think Pitt or DiCaprio could do very well. But based on the casting so far, I’m assuming Gunn will go for someone of lesser renown.
