Recast the Burton/Schumacher films as if they were made later

Hi. I did a search on this and couldn't find anything, so hopefully it's not a duplicate thread.



Inspired by the "Cast the Movie in a Different Time" thread in the Misc. Films section, I thought it might be a fun and interesting exercise to apply the idea to Batman and recast the pre-Nolan films as if they were made later than they were in real life. I'm also going to make this discussion a place where people can talk about how they would 'remake' or alter the films, so they don't necessarily need to be cast exactly as they were IRL.



I'll start:

Batman (2001)

Directed by Tim Burton

Written by Caroline Thompson

Starring:

Mark Wahlberg as Bruce Wayne/Batman

Johnny Depp as Jack Napier/The Joker

Helena Bonham Carter as Vicki Vale

Ewan McGregor as Alexander Knox

Michael Clarke Duncan as Harvey Dent

Glenn Shadix as Commissioner James Gordon

Michael Gambon as Alfred Pennyworth

Jeffrey Jones as Carl Grissom



Batman Returns (2004)

Directed by Tim Burton

Written by Caroline Thompson and John August

Starring:

Mark Wahlberg as Bruce Wayne/Batman

Helena Bonham Carter as Vicki Vale (I think Burton would be inclined to keep the character around given his relationship with Carter)

Danny DeVito as Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin

Sarah Jessica Parker as Selina Kyle/Catwoman

Alan Rickman as Max Schreck

Glenn Shadix as Commissioner James Gordon

Michael Clarke Duncan as Harvey Dent (I think Dent is another character Burton would want to keep around)

Michael Gambon as Alfred Pennyworth

Paul Reubens as the Mayor of Gotham City



Batman Forever (2007)

Directed by Tim Burton

Written by Caroline Thompson and John August

Starring:

Mark Wahlberg as Bruce Wayne/Batman

Helena Bonham Carter as Vicki Vale

Casper Van Dien as Edward Nygma/The Riddler

Brandon T. Jackson as Dick Grayson/Robin

Anne Hathaway as Chase Meridian

Sarah Jessica Parker as Selina Kyle/Catwoman

Michael Clarke Duncan as Harvey Dent/Two-Face

Glenn Shadix as Commissioner James Gordon

Michael Gambon as Alfred Pennyworth



Batman Triumphant (2010)

Directed by Tim Burton

Written by Caroline Thompson and John August

Starring:

Mark Wahlberg as Bruce Wayne/Batman

Sarah Jessica Parker as Selina Kyle/Catwoman

Brandon T. Jackson as Dick Grayson/Robin

Anne Hathaway as Chase Meridian

Glenn Shadix as Commissioner James Gordon

Michael Gambon as Alfred Pennyworth

Paul Giamatti as Jonathan Crane/The Scarecrow

Winona Ryder as Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy

Martin Short as Victor Fries/Mr. Freeze

John Glover as Jason Woodrue

George McArthur as Bane

Glenn Shadix as Commissioner James Gordon

Michael Gambon as Alfred Pennyworth



As you can see, I made some significant changes to the cast of Batman Forever, and combined ideas for Batman and Robin and the never-produced Batman Triumphant into one film while also heavily altering the B&R cast as well.



How would you guys recast/remake the Burton/Schumacher films if they had been made later than they were?
