True, true, still, I've always felt that Marlon Brando had such an ability to control himself, (his emotions, his expressions, his tone) that despite what his usual roles have been, he could still be capable of playing Manhattan.



I wouldn't think of Bogey as Rorschach either, you can't grasp the character completely with an actor with experience on film noir, that would be like thinking that Schwarzzeneger could play the Punisher because a lot of his characters have been soldiers.

EXACTLY! We agree for once!

I see your points about Brando, but he did play Jor-el. A very intellegent and intellectual character. I think he can pull it off. Yul Brenner did come to mind, but his thick accent would mess that role up.

But Jor-El wasn't a central character in what would probably be a 2 and a half to three hour epic.

I've often thought that Frank Gorshin could have made an excellent Moloch. At least in terms of his appearance.



For Rorschach, I'd pick a hardass like James Coburn.



Probably true, although he did seem like he would be the go to guy to play a bald character like Jon.

For Dr Manhattan, how about Burt Lancaster?

On the contrary, as soon as I heard that suggestion I had mental images of a more extreme Rorschach !

Oh, okay. It's just when you said "Wow...I mean WOW", I thought you might have a problem with it.

Actually, I thought you might tell me he was too tall for the role.

Well, I try not to think too much about those things, nothing that a little camera work can't deal with.

By those standards, Humphrey Bogart should've been discarded head on !

Make it in the 40s and there's one man who should be Adrian Veidt.

James Coburn would make a great 60's Comedian, Anthony Perkins equally for Rorschach.

Well, even in his physical "prime" nobody was going to think that Orson Welles was the pinnacle of human development, honestly. Yes he could handle the cold asshole side no question there, but Veidt is also physical perfection... something welles was far from.

Welles would be way better playing Nixon than playing Veidt
