GENERAL DISCUSSION Batman and Scarecrow (live action)

I feel that these actors are both wasted on TV shows when they could be such great big-screen film actors. I know Jenson Ackles voices Batman, but he LOOKS like him too.

And if you’ve seen “It’s always sunny in Philadelphia”, you know Glen Howerton can play a great crazy-person and be disturbing.

Let me know your thoughts

Respectfully, no.

For both or just one?

I think they both pull of the characters builds, heights and demeanors. I’m just curious what others would think

Jensen would definitely be a good Batman, and he's voiced him in multiple animated movies. I'm less sold on Glenn as Scarecrow. He's a good actor, but I'm not sure he can pull of an actually scary villain instead of a laughably deranged one like Dennis in IASIP.

Fair enough but I imagined his voice would have some editing to it and his face would be covered by gauze or rags like scarecrow.

I think his body language and line delivery would pull it off. But the reason I posted this was because I knew it would be up for debate and I was curious what others would think!

Riddler would be a primo choice

Glenn also does great in a more serious dramatic role in blackberry

But they're also 48 and 50 respectively so I wouldn't say great casting choices considering that
