This thread is for discussing casting of The Dark Knight only. I will keep this first post updated with the current confirmed cast. All other news for TDK should be posted in The Dark Knight Updates Thread
Confirmed Cast: Christian Bale - Batman/Bruce Wayne Micheal Cain - Alfred Pennyworth Aaron Eckhart- Harvey Dent Heath Ledger - The Joker Gary Oldman - Commisionar Gordon Maggie Gyllenhaal - Rachel Dawes
Any other cast has yet to be announced. Let's try not to post too many rumors (for Harvey dent rumors post in the Harvey Dent thread for now)
-Cast as listed on imdb.com

The Allen Dale thing still intrigues me. He's definately not Dent. & since the full cast of characters is unknown, guessing is a long shot. But based on the Long Halloween & Dark Victory, what if Dale's been cast to play Salvator Moroni. look at the slight similarity in looks in the Moster Men, although in TDK Maroni would haveta be much older than that if brought in which is why I brought in the TLH pic. Sal Moroni in The Monster Men Sure, Dale's not what one would think of Maroni, but neither was Tom Wilkinson as Falcone. there was a pic of Sal in TLH & a pic of Dal for reference but the urls wheren't accurate anymore

Yeah i think Alan Dale will have something to do with mob. While i have not seen him in any movies (that i know of). But he could be anything, something from The Joker's past?

That's definatley a posibility. The only thing I've seen him in is Ugly Betty (which i don't much care for) so check it out to see what ya think of him.

after doing some research, i have yet to find another source reporting on Alan Dale's casting in TDK, this could mean a number of things -he is in a very small, unimportant role -it is simple an uncomfirmed rumor -could be his fame, him not having much what do u guys think?

*BREAKING NEWS*Turns out Rachel Daws WILL be in the Dark Knigh but... KATIE HOLMES WILL NOT! She will be replaced, and producers are looking for that actress now. This is some of the biggest news to come out of TDK in a while, also the artical mentions some other roles to be cast and some people who passed on playing Harvey Dent. www.latinoreview.com/news.php?id=1369

My money's on Jennifer Conally replacing Holmes not only is she a great actress but she looks alot like her too. & this is pure speculation & highly unlikely as well but what if the "Female Cop - Latin, 30s. Elizabeth Pena type." refered to in the article is Renee Montoya. Sure it's wishfull thinking, but there's a .10% possibilty that she's being put in there ala the style Zsas was added to Begins.

JOY JOY ;D ;D! Don't get me wrong, I thought she was good in Begins, but Tom Cruise brainwashed her and made her crazy and talk about him all the time. We don't need to go through what happened at the premier for Begins again, do we?

i thought that morgan freeman was confirmed to return as lucious fox in both sequals No official statement that he is returning has been released, and he may not. Katie holmed was aslo set to appear in a sequal but wouldnt u know, she isnt! Unless Lucious has a big part, which i doubt he will, Morgan probably wont return.

He has spoken various times that he does not know if he will return, it depends on the script. Now, that said at this point he could but there has been no anouncement. So untill he is offcialy been announced, we will have to speculate that he has not been recast.

I doubt that the "Eastern European Heavy- tough bad guy mobster" is Moroni. Moroni's a tall thin old guy although it is a possibilty seeing as Moroni could be of Italian descent which should qualify for Eastern European. & Lopez? are refering to Jen Lopez as Montya? & as far as Freeman returning if Fox is in the script I think he'll be back, noone else can pay Lucious Fox which is why I was exstatic when he was cast cause I've been saying that for years. However I think that if they had to recast him Denzel Washington'd be good too.

This reeks of Tom Cruise's brainwashing. Why would anyone rather star in a Queen Latifah movie which is gonna bomb like the last 5 of 'em than in a major summer blockbuster. I can smell the million dollar aftershave already.

I've head rumors that they'll only have Rachael back in for only 10 minutes or less. What's the point of even recasting her? There're also things I'm hearing about other characters being in the film: Eastern European Heavy - tough bad guy mobster, 40s-50s, Female Cop - Latin, 30s. 'Elizabeth Pena' type, and an Asian Accountant - male, 40s. My guesses: KGBeast? Sal Maroni Montoya ? No idea.

The new actress that has been rumored to be up fot Rachel Dawes is Emily Blunt. She was in a Devil Wears Prada and recently won a golden globe for a tv movie role. I think she is a great actress. Also, according to this "source" of thiers, Katie holmes did not choose to leave TDK, she was dropped. www.cinemablend.com/new/Emily-Blunt-In-The-Dark-Knight-4397.html

Well it is great that they got rid of Holmes. As for the rumors, I don't even bother to read them anymore.

For those interested in it, there is an artical over at IGN that recaps all the casting new and rumours. Read it here!

so if you read the whole artical above (i didnt) apparently it said that Jaimie Foxx had bever been approched for the role and his publicist declined the rumor. While Aaron Eckhart is supposedly still in the running and his people declined to comment. for those who dont know much about that, if a publicist declines to comment the answer is ussualy is not no (but not necesarely yes). So it looks like Aaron Eckhart just might be our new Dent. Click Here
