Not sure, but I do hope they get an Asian actress for Talia.

I really like Walker Scobell as Damian, not going to lie

Could you fancast the teen titans?

@@WildWeavile That could be fun. I've got two more in the works. One is an actor and one is another corner of the Batman universe. But I would recommend sharing these because if they perform well, I'm very likely to make a Teen Titans one.

@@apollo5045 absolutely the half Chinese and half Middle Eastern background is tricky to find but since the Chinese part of Ra's is more clear, then I think just finding a Chinese actress would both be a good place to start and instantly differentiate it from the Nolan movies. Chipo Chung from Into the Badlands could be an interesting pick. Besides being well acquainted with fight choreography, like Talia needs to be, she's half Chinese and half Zimbabwean. But I'm sure there are other out there who also fit the character. I haven't looked much.

But if they survive, they'll be antihero birds with guns so be careful

@@NandovMovies scary stuff

@@NandovMovies Even if they don't

Remember to also keep some self defense kryptonite with you in case any kryptonians come to back up the bats

🤣🤣🤣 Y'all hilarious

I disagree with sign for Cassandra. She isn't mute in the traditional sense. Her mental challenge is in comprehending and using languages. Sign would be as equally inaccessible to her

@@yiklongtay6029 she was made mute in the young justice Universe where she had her throat slit

Acknowledge this NANDO

@@scorpioproductions7068 I love YJ but their adaptation of Shiva and Cassandra's story is awful (like most depictions of Shiva)

The thing is thats what Batgirl is, or I mean honestly what Damian Wayne is.

That's... perfect. Honestly shocked that's not already a thing

@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep Thanks dude

that would actually make perfect sense as an explanation for him at any age. honestly.

That would work well in a modern incarnation, but in the comics Bruce didn't meet Ra's and Talia until after he was already batman. He trained with a bunch of different masters so he wasn't in one spot for long enough. I'm actually not certain if he ever trained with the league proper in his younger years, but I don't believe he did. I'm pretty sure that was a change made for the Nolan movies

That’s how I wrote my version of a Batman story, glad to see others came up with the idea too!!! 😃

I really love this interpretation of Steph’s character so kudos!

Even better: Jason is literally weak to crowbar's like how superman's weak to kryptonite.

Agreed

have you been introduced to the wonderful world of fanfiction?

@@carlycraig4047 In fact I have

@@jonasquinn7977 a03 has a decent amount of fics like this and I love them

@@carlycraig4047 is there any way for us to talk somewhere else, because ive been looking for this dynamics for ages on ao3 and havent found anything, but i dont want to soil the comment section

To add to this real quick, that's why I wasn't a huge fan of the take on him in Titans. The actor they chose for Tim was fantastic, but the severe lack of Jack Drake made it a less than satisfying experience for me.

...no parental issues?? What do you call criminal neglect then lol. Do you mean no dead parents at a young age? That feels more accurate.

@@sololinnea okay, yes Tim have parental issues that have drastically affected his self esteem, but that conflict is a lot more relatable to normal teenagers (the target audience) than any story involving trauma from dead parents. The thing with every other Batfamily character is that their stories are almost dependent on an exploration of trauma from the death of a loved one. As someone who's suffered majorly from self esteem issues, Tim's story about learning to believe in himself despite self doubt, and reconciling with his father who's trying his best to make up for lost time with his son, is much more cathartic and relatable than ANYTHING any of the other Batfamily members have gone through. So yes, him having alive parents does make a difference for a totally normal guy who loves the story if Batman, but suffers mainly from self esteem issues as opposed to trauma.

@@sololinnea Tim wasn't criminally neglected. he was at boarding school and when he wasn't he had help and adults that loved with him. his parents weren't neglectful they were just 90's parents. So Tim didn't have any parental issues in canon.

@@scrabdusanproductions2104 no he didn't. Give me one example from the comics where Tim is shown to have any issue steming from neglect. Just one please.

I wonder why 🤔

Perhaps he is already doing it 🤔

I don’t believe you 😂

Would love that so much

Agreed to a T. Each "kid" has a specialty

Yeah I thought it was really weird that Nando acknowledged the background but didn’t even think to fancast any Arab or Chinese child actors in the runner ups. I think Walker’s great (not for Damian, I actually think he’d be an excellent Wally West), but I would’ve been completely fine if Nando just threw in a random Arab or Chinese child actor (I’ve actually seen specific fancastings like this from other people, and there was even an Arab child actor cast for the unreleased live-action Wayne Family Adventures semi-official webseries that he could’ve brought up) and just said “This was the best I could do.”

@@donultrawide Yeah it felt weird to me too. I loved the web comic series and how they portrayed the characters. Also I never even thought of that. Walker would 100 percent be a great Wally West.

Yea it's kinda weird how Nightwing got more of an emphasis on his heritage (even though a non-romani actor was fancast anyways) even though it's arguably less prevelant than Damians

@@captaincrisis226 Exactly my point.

Y'all keep saying "kinda weird" as if to imply that Nando was intentionally or unintentionally whitewashing these fancasts but how has he ever shown himself to push any sort of white hegemonic ideals? Why the assumption of bad faith? Do you have any suggestions for who to cast instead that meets that specific mix of age and race demographic and acting ability? Any popular actors that fit that description that would've been hard to miss?

Don't know much about Stephanie, but I like this idea. I find it fun when a character has a skill that seems to run counter to their personality, and the idea of the chattiest bat family member constantly sneaking up on people by accident sounds really charming.

@@seanfisher6904 exactly this! Also, in the original (Cassandra's) Batgirl run, Stephanie managed to go in and out Cass' cave without her noticing, and she was also a quick thinker. I think that would really suit an evader archetype as well. From that comic alone, she had so much potential, especially because she was being trained by Cassandra Cain herself, imagine the beast she could have been with stealth, agility, quick thinking and Cass' training

She once almost sneaked up on Batman, with him acknowledging "Not many people can do that."

She has been able to sneak up on Batman before, and not many people can do that

I would love to hear his castings for various DC villains. Here are some of mine: Billy Zane as Lex Luthor Antony Starr or Wilson Bethel as Reverse-Flash (Eobard Thawne) Luke Evans as Sinestro Andrew Lincoln as Captain Cold (Leonard Snart) Deborah Ann Woll as Cheetah (Barbara Minerva)

Inb4 Ezra Miller for Reverse Flash

@@BrySchec Ha!

@@milkiassamuel780 Seriously Billy Zane is LEX LUTHOR

@@BrySchec "it was me, Mr and Mrs Iron Eyes"

Either Jamie Foxx or Michael Jae White for John Stewart

Interesting

Hadn’t seen anything she has been in, but she seems decent and wanting the role is nice. However, she seems to only be 14 right now, so maybe in a few years she will be closer to the 18-20 range and be considered. Thanks for the recommendation.

Didn't know who she was, looked her up, and yeah she's a great pick.

I can't say I've seen her in anything, but she definitely looks like Cass. I don't know about her physical skill though.

It either you hate him cause he is a little shit you love him cause he is a little shit

ya lol

Yup, he's my favorite Robin. I suspect mainly because he's MY Robin, the Robin kicking around when I started reading comics. Plus I was aware how much dislike for him existed in the fanbase and I think I like an underdog, so I sort of fell into the role of defending him and seeing his brighter spots. Supersons was the first thing I really read him in as well, and he has such a great dynamic with Jon. Long live the Supersons!

@@velemamba260 I feel like we are proof of his statement because I despise damian wayne. My favourite is Tim Drake because I like the idea that batman needs an opposite personality to balance him out and so having a robin who acts just like batman has no point to mw

He's my favorite Robin. He's been since I watched his DCAU movies as a preteen in middle school. I've graduated and I'm an adult now but he still remains my favorite. The minute I saw Javon from Euphoria I knew he would be perfect for Damian.

Gotta be Kevin Conroy

Peter Cullen

Kevin heart.

Can you explain why?

@@justnojustn3036 the worst part about it is idk why Of course dick Grayson is my favorite robin Jason is second Damian is my third favorite and Tim Drake is my fourth favorite I think it’s Damian’s redeeming qualities I think he has the path to become better because he’s still a child and damian loves his father and everyone else in the bar family especially dick Grayson but he’s a ego driven child who’s scared to admit he care and I think he is a wild card for the future he could be the destroyer of Gotham in the future or he could be the savior because it all depends on his path he chooses idk it’s something about how he could grow to be better to me

@@justnojustn3036 He’s just really interesting from his backstory to how much he’s grown as a character. People love to downgrade him to just being a brat but they things he deals with and the reason behind his actions are always interesting to think about imo. His relationships, how he treats his dad’s other companions, and many other things just make him really cool.

I am too!!

Young Justice is actually how I learned about Orphan and Spoiler since they were all just Batgirl to me before appearing in YJ season 3. I still don't know much about Spoiler, but Orphan is awesome in that show

She ends up giving up the baby for adoption I believe

honestly trying to find an actor for damian is so hard

Also Joshua Basset would be great for a later-on Batfamily story like when all the Robins have been in action for a while and stuff like that.

EXACTLY!!! I thought of Damian the minute I first heard him speak in the show! Glad I'm not the only one. I've been begging for the casting to become reality for a couple of years now.😭

Yeah I do think he's got a lot of the right stuff but after Samaritan he feels just a little too old for me.

Thanks!

Yes its kind a major thing with Tim that he cant become Batman because he’s too similar to Bruce

He would be a great older version of Damien that has been Robin for a while.

"Damien was the worst" (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞

She would be a solid pick if she were a bit older or they just did a slightly younger Cass, which isn't out of the question.

There isn't any ambiguity to Ra's race. He's 100% of East Asian descent while also being part Arabic. Same with Damian who was incredibly miss casted in this. Damian is half Chinese and Half Arab.

@@garrettsage4622 he’s a quarter Arab and a quarter Chinese and half white you dumb bass

@@garrettsage4622 While I don't disagree I do think people [at least the people in charge of casting] see Ra's race as mutable. This is a problem with a lot of mixed-race characters in comics. If you see the ways, Conner Hawk, Kyle Rayner, Bane or most prominently Damian have been depicted in comics anyone unfamiliar with their origins would assume they were only white. I think that's one of the messiest aspects of race in comics. Because in the real world there is no definitive way to look biracial. The way you phenotypically present is random. You could be darker or lighter than your parents and have or not have X racial features. And that's perfectly fine and natural. But when you're depicting a fictional character the choices you make in presenting their race mean more. If people draw Damian with basically no racialized features they're telling their audience they want them to engage with him as white. Especially because it's not like comics are going to have storylines about how Damian feels about being white-passing or his connection to his race. No one would ever cast a white person to play Steel but they didn't bat an eye about casting Liam Neeson as Ra's. I think it says a lot about how his race is perceived in the wider world

Who?

To me Javon is way better. Euphoria proves it. He's an adult in a kids body.
