Too late, I already shot myself. <- See, that's my dead face. I'm not saying he's a bad actor Tot-g, just that he wasn't really the right choice for Two-Face.

I disagree. I think he could have been an excelent Two-Face (my favorite actor playing my favorite Batman villian...HEAVEN!), because he's usually more toned down than he was in Forever. Schumacher just told him to go nuts, and that's what he did.

Fair enough. Perhaps the direction was off, not the casting. He never really displayed the dichotomy that is usually associated with Two-Face. That's really my only beef. We got to see his "crazy" side (which I think should've been more toned down and calm, therefore creepier) far too often.

The only problem I really have with Jones (I can even stand the over the top execution) was that Harvey Dent pulled a Michael Jackson. Billy Dee turned into Tommy Lee.

My life is complete - Anthony Michael Hall joins the cast of Dark Knight. As who? He's not saying. (I'm hoping for Bane.) Casting rumors for the Watchmen movie.

I don't buy this, Keanu Reeves as Dr. Manhattan?
That's horrible casting.

I'll watch Keanu in anything, but then I've never read the Watchmen, so my indignation wouldn't be high either way. Jude Law seems (in theory) like he would inspire much more negativity, especially if he has to do an American accent.

Keanu is the Anti-Shatner. The god of underacting. Therefor I must watch everything that he is in.

I know! I have this perverse fascination with him. I want to meet him and touch his beard.

I don't buy this, Keanu Reeves as Dr. Manhattan? That's horrible casting. I don't know. Keanu is, as previously stated, the god of underacting. Doc Manhattan doesn't really regard humans any longer, so someone who's completely distant and out-of-touch may be a good role for Keanu. Although, Doc also has a complex inner struggle between what he feels he was (with his wife and his friends and what have you) with what he is (someone who can no longer comprehend humanity), in gaining super-powers he has lost his humanity... so should he really should be distant. But I don't know if Keanu could accurately depict Doc as the complex character he actually is. I mean, Keanu does not exude the air of a man of science at all. So yeah Ratso, I guess I agree with you. But I honestly can't think of a man who could accurately depict Doc Manhattan. Of course, I don't know the capabilities of some actors.

I'm trying to think, who would be good at being blue, smart and naked?

Rebecca Romijn, of course. We saw that in X-Men.

Alan Cumming. Heck, X-men should probably be named "stories about smart blue people" or something.
