Every character and timeline will be in this as casting the universe is a little more than a movie - An epic 5-7 movie saga which can span the whole lifetime of the batman - perhaps narrated with ras al ghul starting in the distant past via Jonah hex before panning to the long awaited beyond setting in the future My ideal batman fancast as a 35 year hardcore comic movies toys animation fan (im 37 ) and something of a passion project as every film has had its own good points (yes even batman and robin ) and supported by pictures where possible giving the tone, look or inspiration for the casting. Some may be already cast some may be recast but all legitimate for their role in line with their strengths or past movies.keep in mind each actor can likely be aged or de aged when playing past or future also and their strengths are likely to show as able to do more than one passage of time.
