(lets discount West, Clooney and Kilmer as accidents of an entirely different kind).Seriously first Keaton, Bale and now STALLONE? (By the way I have nothing against Stallone. Yes he's done some of the shittiest movies of all time, but he's also given some outstanding performances (Rock and First Blood are brilliant)and some real guilty pleasures (Rambo, 2 and 4). He's FAR TOO SHORT!! And don't even mention his last effort at a comic adaptation with Judge Dredd. For TDK Returns its gotta be MICKEY ROURKE. He RULED Sin City! He's big, he has the physique, and like Downey in Iron Man, Rourke is a bad boy actor on the comeback. Forget Bale,Nolan and Batman 3, lets get straight to TDK Returns, Rodriquez and Miller directing. AND MICKEY FUCKING ROURKE! Also if Watchmen is a success and with the current pulling power of TDK on an audience, then The Dark Knight Returns is absolutely gonna work. Why we always casting short asses for the Batman role??

As mentioned here already, watch films like F.I.S.T., Cop Land, Rocky as well as films like Nighthawks or Lords of Flatbush, and you'll see that Stallone is easily on the level of a De Niro. No, he doesn't talk like Rocky in real life, that's like saying Al Pacino speaks with a bad Cuban accent, separate the person from the character. As for the role, I'm not sure, Stallone plays the role of melancholy, pensive, sad type character quite well, it might work and he's probably the best choice out there. Mickey Rourke is another good idea. Really, at this point these two are probably the only ones capable of playing a broken down character like this.

Stalone has it on looks of course, and is close in some of the emotive areas, but you just cannot make that guy seem smart, and Miller's Batman is one of the smartest men in the world. Sorry, can't work. It'd love to see Kurt Russel in the mask, but I think the guy who's got the voice (most important for all those inner monologues), the face, the emotional range, AND the acting chops is without a doubt Russel Crowe. All you gotta do is beef him up in the right way. Maybe he's not quite that old, but he's played old convincingly enough in the past that people would believe it with minimal make-up. I can hear his voice "...something ancient sucks the air and hisses..."

He's a great actor. Bruce Willis would be cool too. With Nathan Petrelli from heroes as Superman and Tim Curry as the Joker. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

I think this is probably consistent with most Superman series. So Superman wont be the samea ge as Batman, at least appearence wise. in the comic, Superman is the only one who HASNT aged. he looks like he did in his prime. I think Bruce even makes a comment to him about his Kryptonian blood and how Bruce wishes he had some. this might be from something else, but it proves my point. As for Sly as Batman, I just dont see it. I guess on the up side, he has the build, is old, and who knows, maybe years of crimefighting has had a negative effect on the way he speaks (nerve damage or something). I just dont know if Sly could pull off being among the most intelligent men alive. It doesnt seem plausible. i think people forget that in The Dark knight returns universe, Superman doesnt age.

You think of Bruce, who is 55, and imagine the other heroes and villains around his age. this means that alfred is probably 80+. Dream DARK KNIGHT RETURNS cast–
Daniel Day-Lewis as Bruce Wayne/Batman
Anthony Hopkins as The Joker
Matthew Bomer as Superman/Clark Kent
Dakota Fanning as Carrie Kelly/Robbin
Robert Redford as Ollie Queen/Green Arrow
and just for shits……Michael Keaton as Harvey Dent
Alfred is more difficult, in my opinion. You think of Bruce, who is 55, and imagine the other heroes and villains around his age. this means that alfred is probably 80+.

I mean, Stallone? Absolutely not. No one can replace Bale, it would be like replacing Ledger (R.I.P.) with George Clooner. Stalone wasn't meant to play a part like this, he's meant to play action movies with no mind-set/hollywood crowd pleasers. You people sure are one-sided and sure take direction easily. I guess when Martial law hits the states you'll be the first people to sell out your family & friends and go along with the chaos. You people are pathetic... I hope you followers aren’t serious.
