Mr Freeze in the sequels

I think the worst thing about "Batman & Robin" was the portrayal of Mr. Freeze in the film. Arnold portrayed him so poorly and talked puns throughout the entire movie. Mr. Freeze's suppose to be serious and smart guy. He's not suppose to be strong, he's suppose to be slim.

Since Christopher Nolan has revived the Batman franchise with "Batman Begins", I think this is the perfect chance to revive Freeze. Nolan will do the back story right and everything will be perfect. Plus, he will cast a better actor for the role. Who do you think should play Mr Freeze?

My List -
Patrick Stewart
Ed Harris
John Malkovich
Ben Kingsley

I think Patrick Stewart would have done a good job with the role. He even looks like Freeze, who is supposed to be bald and about 6' tall.

Patrick Stewart is my first choice too....I'd love to see Batman and young Grayson Robin take on Mr. Freeze and Clayface (2 or 3 but I'd perfer 2 Matt Hagen verison)

Good thing then that Grayson will never show up in a Nolan adaptation... I don't think there are even any child actors that could pull of Dick Grayson anyway.... the only physically capable children actors are China kiddies 😛

regarding Mr. Freeze, I don't think he could ever hold his own as the main villain in a Batman film. and even if he could, people will still be reeling from the shattering effects of B&R.... it would flop

I cant think of his name but i think that kid from Malcom in the Middle(second oldest)kinda looks like he could play robin.
And i also agree that Patrick Stewart would be a good choice for Freeze.

the little wimpy kid as Dick Grayson..perhaps...they gotta redo mr. Freeze he was the poorest done Batman villian on the big screen.

i dont even like mr freez he better not come in

Ed Harris would do better than anyone else.

I think Kingsley

You know, actors can shave their heads: you don't have to just name whatever bald actors come to mind.

I'd say Ivy and Bane were worse.

See...I didn't think Arnold was BAD in his portrayal...however, I think the script was absolutely wretched. I think given the right script he may have done a good job, but when he's just spitting out lines like "chill out" and "ice'd him" and whatnot...no...that doesn't work.

I could definatly see Bane coming back in BB, but like they did him in Knightfall.... Venom or no Venom, he would certainly kick ass....

as for Mr. Freeze if I were to see the guy on the big screen again I'd be pitching for that guy from Farscape Kriten.... or have that guy play Bane.... it could happen 😮

i think patrick stewart would make a great mr. freeze! but not sure if he could pull him off vocally though...well, his voice is going to be altered anyways...*shrugs*
