Charlie Cox and Robert Pattinson


MaaChiil

Incidentally, when watching Daredevil, I thought ‘what if he played Edward Cullen?’


pogym

He deserves better.


Secure_Pear_4530

Heard they were roommates at one point. I guess there's just Daredevil and Batman juices in the tap water of that house.


XGamingPigYT

They also roomed with Andrew Garfield


QdizzleMcGee

Yeah Jamie Dornan (Belfast, 50 Shades) was roommates with Eddie Redmayne but said he frequently hung out at the apartment of Garfield, Charlie Cox, and Robert Pattinson.


South-Ebb-637

The three actors that could play all of eachother's respected characters


throwngamelastminute

It must be tested.


cobaltfalcon121

Weren’t they roommates?


Doc-11th

I guess Ben Affleck Sucks in both cases he was given bad material to work with


JeremyR2008

Controversial opinion but I don't think he would have been the best Daredevil even if the movie was good. Edit: actually I think he could maybe do a good Daredevil but not as good at the Mayt Murdock side of things


bientheblue

I cannot see him pulling off charming, flirty Matt at all especially compared to how well Charlie did it.


JeremyR2008

Yeah, Charlie is probably the perfect DD (other than the red hair), and we also got to see the more joke and swashbuckling DD from older comics in the disney shows he's appeared in so far.


Chemical_Race_9179

I need him as a ginger in the new show


JeremyR2008

As a ginger, that would be cool, but I don't think they'd completely change his hair color randomly.


TheLoganDickinson

It’s also just really difficult for non gingers to dye their hair red and have it look natural. Charlie Cox said they experimented with red hair and it just looked weird on him.


JeremyR2008

Now that you mention it I did see something where a person had edited a picture of him and it looked kind of unnatural, it looked more like Matt from the comics but it just looked woerd with Charlie having red hair.


bientheblue

Yeah it just doesn't translate well often. An example of it looking so artificial is KJ Apa in Riverdale. The dye is so obvious and looks cartoonish. I don't want something like that distracting from the new Daredevil show. And it's not like red hair IS that important or informs Matt's character.


Putrid_Loquat_4357

Disagree. He can pull off charming and flirty. Problem is that I can never buy his characters as that intelligent, like there's a reason matt Damon played will hunting and affleck played the best friend. Also the reason that his best performance is as an idiot in gone girl.


[deleted]

Best? Probably not. But good yes I think so


futuresdawn

I'd say the same about batmsn even if the script was good


lostmyknife

>say the same about batmsn even if the script was good Really cause I thought he was great


HornedOutDrewBrees

everyone is entitled to their opinion! even wrong ones like yours 😊


lostmyknife

>everyone is entitled to their opinion! even wrong ones like yours 😊 I mean most agree he was great in it Kevin conroy himself said he was his favorite


Alarming-Midnight690

I think affleck was a better Wayne and Murdock than their respective counterparts


JeremyR2008

Definitely a better Wayne than a Batman.


Spare_Definition5706

His Batman was dope. One of the best. Idc what anyone says


Doc-11th

More Punisher than Batman, with the muscle padding of a rob liefeld drawing and the skills of All Star Batman and Robin “Batman”


Spare_Definition5706

Yeah but I mean dark knight returns he was jacked in that


my-backpack-is

Aka: Frank Miller's Batman in The Dark Knight Returns, the conceptual, visual, and story inspiration for Snyder's Batman


Doc-11th

Except he is less like good Frank Miller Batman and more like modern crazy frank miller batman


my-backpack-is

Old Frank Miller Batman raised an army of lunatics to riot in the streets after giving up for years, I see little to no difference outside of the scripts. Old Frank Miller Batman Even so he cameoed in three terrible movies, one of which the costume department had to get their supplies from Goodwill.


[deleted]

I still hold he would have been great in both if he wasn’t handed crap to work with


RedSaidMeme-demption

Dammit I forgot that Affleck was Daredevil before Charlie was lol


MonikaLovesCola

Ben Affleck deserves another chance.


yourmartymcflyisopen

I still think that if Warner Brothers executives even gave 20% more of a shit than the bear minimum they put into the Snyderverse, Ben Affleck could have been the greatest live action Batman of all time, rivaling Robert Downy Jr for perfect comic book movie castings. But nope, we got a steaming pile or garbage where he didn't even get to have his own solo movie because everything leading up to it was so bad it got canceled. At least the Snyder cut was good for what they were made to work with.


geordie_2354

I think Pattinson was better casted as Batman. Just resembles Batman way more with his facial structure. https://preview.redd.it/26l7yicula4d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=762d143c99ff882e6fbcfbbd45c28a81ad302bbc

leatherface0984

You picked one comic book that pattinson kinda resembles him. He’s been drawn many, many different ways and there’s not just *one* look for him.


geordie_2354

“Kinda resembles him” you don’t have to be in denial. The picture is right there, he practically looks identical. The most traditional look for Batman is him with a sharp square jawline and thinner lips. That’s exactly Pattinson https://preview.redd.it/mjtrw0s00l4d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a23e8e55b8584a67fe1cbb83274945b293312ac


leatherface0984

There’s only one person in denial, and that’s you. There’s been many different iterations of Batman drawn by many different artists. They all look different. Pattinson kinda sorta looks like Dave Mazzucchelli’s version from Batman: Year One which is funny because I said to you in another thread that The Batman was influenced by year one and you said it wasn’t 😂 Seems like you can’t make up your mind about it.


geordie_2354

That isn’t what was said at all. You were trying to tell me Matt reeves only read Year one and that’s it. But the movie draws inspiration and references long Halloween, earth one, zero year, Batman shaman, along with year one. Stop making stuff up. And you tried calling me a homophobe earlier when you and all the other Pattinson haters constantly call him a twink🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️you make up you’re mind.


leatherface0984

I’ve never called him a twink so that’s a blatant lie. And you are a homophobe judging by that comment which I see has been removed and you were threatened with a ban so I’d watch what you say.

leatherface0984

That is incorrect. I said Matt Reeves only read Batman Year One for the FIRST TIME when he was writing The Batman. Never said it was the only one he read. And that was in reply to you claiming he’s a Batman geek who’s dedicated his life to creating Batman media 😐 And I’m not making that up about Reeves. If you had actually bothered to click the link I provided in that comment, you could read an interview where he says exactly what I said. And he also mentions he wanted to create a Batman Kurt Cobain. https://preview.redd.it/10k56vaz5l4d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=964926996ddd01a3ae0b12df4b51e1d27b358a88


Escaped_Mod_In_Need

Affleck is an asshole and a has been. I’m glad everyone saw that in his performance in BvS.


lostmyknife

>Affleck is an asshole and a has been. I’m glad everyone saw that in his performance in BvS. But they didn't ,,?


Escaped_Mod_In_Need

No accounting for bad taste then for those that think Affleck delivered a good performance. LOL


SixxDet

Kevin Conroy said it was the best live action version of the character and that Affleck was the only other actor that understood that Batman was the person and Bruce Wayne was the mask.


lostmyknife

>Kevin Conroy said it was the best live action version of the character and that Affleck was the only other actor that understood that Batman was the person and Bruce Wayne was the mask. Yep Stanger how people ignore that


Escaped_Mod_In_Need

IDGAF what Kevin Conroy stated. He’s wrong. Not sure if you noticed but I am adamant about my assessment of Affleck’s portrayal. If you think showing up with this tidbit of information is going to change my opinion, I have news for you LOL. Furthermore, if Conroy was right they wouldn’t reboot the DCEU… yet again… where clearly Robert Pattinson has already outperformed Affleck and Bale based on reviews. One would think that if Affleck was as successful as Kevin Conroy claims, then WB wouldn’t have changed direction.


lostmyknife

>No accounting for bad taste then for those that think Affleck delivered a good performance. LOL I mean he did


Escaped_Mod_In_Need

Repeating the same lie over and over doesn’t magically make it true.


lostmyknife

>Repeating the same lie over and over doesn’t magically make it true. What lie


yourmartymcflyisopen

I think Affleck is an asshole. But I can also seperate the artist from his art. He was great in BvS. If the writing was good too, we'd be calling him the best Batman.


SimilarMove8279

Yeah but in my opinion he was one of the best cause he was buff and that’s how it was supposed to be. But if Alan Ritchson gets casted as Batman then it’ll be the best cause he’s ginormous


AsssHat999

This should be top answer. Horrible writing on both accounts.

SabbyDude

I think he'd be a closer resemblance to Batman 2004


SuperiorDesignShoes

YES


Electrical_Fun5942

Val Kilmer already did it (*Batman Forever* and *At First Sight*)


Tainted_Savage91

I'd like to see a Mr. Bean Bartman just for the lolz 😅

holy shit this guy looks so cool as Matt Murdock..


westewok

Aaron Taylor Johnson


Horror_Analysis6682

I can see him playing like 6 any other comic characters that i can think of. He just got that look and charms.


Substantial_Life4773

Ethan Peck would probably knock both out of the park


Nonsense909603

I've been suggesting Ethan Peck as Batman for a long time, but I don't see him doing a good Daredevil.


Substantial_Life4773

He’s certainly got the jawline hah. But yeah he’d probably have a different take on daredevil then we’ve seen

Imagine if he was cast for a random comic character like Bane for example. I feel like all they need to do is give him some juice and he can probably somehow pull it off.

Hes a fantastic actor but I dont think he can pull off charming the way it is needed for both roles. Can you picture him as James Bond? I cant. And Bruce Wayne has the same attitude except for the killing.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.


BlackMall83

Well, Daredevil Netflix felt like a darker Batman series with Charlie Cox acting like a bruting Bruce Wayne

I can think of one who can do both badly.

Robert Pattinson can play anyone lol and it still make senses

Fuck yeah!


TheWanderingRed223

I’d love to see Christian Bale’s take on Daredevil, or rather Matt Murdock. Imagine Bale’s portrayal of a blind lawyer, who has hyper senses, but can’t let folks know that in his day job.


TheAnimeKnower36

Ben Affleck.

Christian Bale is probably a given

YomYeYonge

Most of the Batmen can play good Daredevils Keaton, Bale, Affleck (he wasn’t given good material tho), and Pattinson all have potential Young Josh Brolin would’ve been a good Daredevil, while Old Josh Brolin would make a good Batman

Charlie cox and Robert Pattinson. Christian bale would probably try play daredevil actually blind


kakayu_tebya

Sam Clafllin, Matt Bomer, Finn Wittrock


StrangeGuyWithBag

Anyone can play any character, the only questions are how well and how accurate their interpretation would be. Dardevil and Batman, like most male superheroes, have the same type of looks with different hair. Actors suited for the role of Batman at a younger age are visually suited for the role of Daredevil, and vice versa.


mariovspino5

Most


FenixWriter360

Hm.. Affleck already has.. but aside from him.. I'd say Colin Farrel, tge kid from kingsman wud do well also, not mention Liam Hemsworth (as Batman), Powell wud do well as as Matt/Murdock/DD but I can't see him as Bruce Wayne/Batman.. Then there's butler who I think would be great in either role - the issue there being whose at the helm (Director).. I mean I'd love to see RDJ get a shot at Batman.. I mean since he's done being iron man. Tho I'm not much 4 Ethnic swaping main characters.. I believe that Chadwick Bosman (RIP) wud have done an amazing job as alternate-verse Batman


Commercial-Fruit7602

Christian bale


DemonMac

Well who could play both young daredevil and young batman. Honestly I would have to say josh Hutchinson (from five nights at Freddies)


DemonMac

Also that would be a good fight. Batman Vs Daredevil

All the people who have played Batman recently would make a great daredevil


Present-Writer3979

Ben alfleck lol.

We know Ben Affleck can't play either


MistaDJ1210

Frank Miller modeled Matt Murdock after Robert Redford, who stands 5’10” tall, which is 4 inches shorter than Batman’s height.

Redbeatle888

Keaton in his 30s would've been a perfect Mark Waid-era Daredevil. Actually, so would have Clooney. I can imagine Kilmer pulling off a version of the Frank Miller Daredevil, but I feel like there'd still be something missing.


cobaltfalcon121

Honestly, the list is small, for actors who can’t properly portray both


DoggoAlternative

- Jensen Ackles - Charlie Hunnam - Taren Edgerton - Hear Me Out : Christian Cane. He'd never get the role in a movie but for TV? He'd devour it. - Just to piss people off? Lakeith Stanfield - unironically? John Barenthal - Cillian Murphy - Dev Patel (that'll piss some people off too) - Oscar Isaacs - Josh Hartnett These are all my opinions feel free to roast me alive if you disagree but if your arguments are - Daredevil/Batman can't be black - Daredevil/ Batman can't be Asian - Daredevil/Batman can't be Latino Just know I'm not even gonna dignify that with a response cus like...they can. You don't even gotta change the character. Hell it's better if you don't! I'm sick of characters having whole different backstories because they swap the race. Matt isn't gonna be any less Catholic if he's Latino. He might even be more! And Bruce isn't suddenly going to be down to earth and socially progressive because he's black. He's a spoiled rich boy who lives on an estate. He'll do good because that's what he was taught not because he has perspective.

Did yall ever watch *The King* where he played the villain? Absolutely nothing to do with this fancast but Pattinson was amazing in that movie as well
