  • titanusmosura The cast is quite a mess. Lucius Fox should be much older, in his 60s to be more specific. Bruce Wayne, Harvey Dent and Thomas Elliot all supposed to be the same age since the latter two were childhood friends of Bruce. Robert Downey Junior is not grizzled enough to play Slade. And Jared Harris is too young. He would've work better as Year One Alfred.

    • aluminumforest   @titanusmosura Lucius Fox is a creative descision. In this universe, he’s supposed to be closer in age to Bruce. I feel like the other three could all pull off being around the same age, and that none of them look as old as they are, but that might just be me. I think RDJ would look pretty close to comic Deathstroke if his hair was dyed, but that might also just be me. Finally, I cast Jared Harris because I wanted somebody who could stick around for 10-15 years in the role, and didn’t cast older out of fear that they might die before I’m done with the character. I understand your points, but I honestly think that it either would all work anyway, or it’s just because I made a decision to change something. I specifically wrote in the Lucius Fox casting page that this version os meant to be a childhood friend of Bruce alongside Thomas Elliot. If you disagree with that, that’s fine, but I just wanted to do something different for him, since I don’t think we’re ever going to get a better comic-accurate version of him than Morgan Freeman’s portayal.
    • wadeproductions   @aluminumforest I do think that Ernie Hudson could be a better comic book Lucias
