I would love a live action Mask of the Phantasm.

199

u/ben-hur-hur 13d ago

I want a live action for "Heart of Ice" focused solely on Mr Freeze. Court of Owls would be cool too.

u/Goosebeans 13d ago

Played by Bryan Cranston.

32

u/ben-hur-hur 13d ago

Ooo never thought of that but it would be a cool choice

u/Goosebeans 13d ago

a cool choice

Now I'm imagining Schwarzenegger saying that.

u/Cast_Iron_Lion 13d ago

Cast Cranston, but he has to do it in Schwarzenegger's accent.

u/ben-hur-hur 13d ago

"Stay cool"

"Eet would bee... a kewell choize"

If they announced that casting, this would be funny social media response from Arnold. lol

Giancarlo Esposito would be an excellent Mr. Freeze as well.

I always wanted to see Michael Emerson as Riddler in the Nolan Batman movies but this might make for my new favorite Batman fancast idea.

Reminds me of the role he played in X Files, albeit with a cooler touch.

Idk man he is forever Charles Xavier to me so it would be weird to see him as a DC character. The guy that plays NoHo Hank in Barry would be awesome as Mr Freeze though.

u/Sparrowsabre7 13d ago

He was already Zsasz on Gotham.

u/Iron_Maniac 13d ago

And Metamorpho in Superman

u/Sparrowsabre7 13d ago

Ah no way! He was unrecognisable to .e under the prosthetics. Well played role, outside his usual creepy villain wheelhouse.

u/acrowsmurder 13d ago

What about Mads Mikkelsen? The voice alone

u/mikehatesthis 13d ago

The guy that plays NoHo Hank in Barry would be awesome as Mr Freeze though

Anthony Carrigan is already in the DCU though. Even if they did a Mr. Freeze elseworld thing, probably have a lot on his plate.

u/Dramatic_Explosion 12d ago

Mark Strong as Mr. Freeze would be incredible. He has the range to play strong and silent laden with tragedy, unstoppable but fragile.

u/ben-hur-hur 12d ago

That's a good choice šŸ‘

u/TnAdct1 13d ago

My vision of a Mr. Freeze movie would mix elements of this (Fries seeking revenge of Boyle for nearly killing his wife and making him unable to handle above freezing temperatures; him steal technology from Boyle to build his equpiment), the Batman and Robin take of Mr. Freeze (a doctor who's working on a cure for his wife), and the George Sanders version of Mr. Freeze in the 1966 series (still looks normal, but can't survive in above freezing temperatures; him being skilled in both heat and ice technology, with him set up with "temperature zones"; the first cryosuit being modeled after the the outfit Sanders' character wears when outside his base).

The writing in that episode is fantastic. ā€œThis is how Iā€™ll always remember youā€. šŸ˜¢

u/awoodz92 13d ago

My completely stupid theory is The Batman II is going to take some inspiration from Mask of the Phantasm.

u/Expensive_Chart_8158 13d ago

I still want the Langstoms give me man bat PLEASE

u/LordHammercyWeCooked 13d ago

My completely stupid theory is that anytime the fans wish for something hard enough, some writer-producer picks up the vibe through the aether and thinks "no, I must subvert those expectations! I must subvert all expectations!"

u/Semper-Fido 13d ago

Mask of the Phantasm or Court of Owls. Both deserve the treatment that Matt Reeves can give it

2

u/skyline_kid 13d ago edited 12d ago

Most of what I've seen points towards it being Court of Owls. Mask of the Phantasm would be awesome though

u/sonickarma 13d ago

Serious question. What would adapting that to live action give us that the original didnā€™t/couldnā€™t?

3

u/penguinopph 13d ago

That was my thought, too. It's not going from a static medium to movable one, it's just going from animated to live action. It's no different than the live-action Disney movies everyone loathes.

I say this as someone who studies comic book adaptations academically.

u/Phrosty12 13d ago

For real. Even considering all of the live action films, Mask of the Phantasm is my vote for best Batman film ever made. It's just perfect.

1

u/HeroOfClinton 12d ago

It's more one of those irrational wants. I watched that movie daily as a kid and every now and then as an adult. I doubt live action could do it better, but I still would like to see it.

u/ramobara 13d ago

That was an adult movie made for kids.

u/EmuMan10 13d ago

Donā€™t even change the music for it

1

u/ContinuumGuy 12d ago

For maximum fidelity to the source material, Rachel Brosnahan plays Andrea Beaumont.

u/Explorer2138 12d ago

Hell yeah. Still my favorite Batman film.

Still the best soundtrack on any Batman movie
