After posting about Bullseye, I started wondering if there is anyone else in the "real world" that I use when reading comics and that led me to wonder if you do the same thing as well.
Do any of you "visualize" real person "blank" when you read a comic character? IE - when you read Superman, does Christopher Reeve pop in your head? Either the look or the actor's portrayal? Does anyone see Michael Keaton when you read Batman's dialog (I certainly hope not, but it could happen I guess
).
Does movie casting affect your comic reading inner-sight? Or does, as my case with Bullseye, any real world person come into your comic reading? Or do you not do this at all?
After seeing Mad Max: Fury Road (great movie), Taboo (even better TV show, truly amazing) and even Bronson (a Great character piece), Tom Hardy is not Batman for me. All those roles just scream the Bat to me. Forget Bane, Tom Hardy is Batman every time I read the character.
Sadly or maybe poetically, Robert Downey Jr is indeed Iron Man for me now. I just can't help it. The bastard pops into my head whenever I read or imagine Iron Man. I can't even think of who I used to think about ... younger Tom Selleck? Hahah, sorry, that mustache got me thinking. Yeah, no idea who I used to picture, but RDJ is Iron Man now.
There is a local news anchor around here that always popped into my head when I used to see Black Cat. Ha, I guess that was some weird childhood fantasy. Still, whenever I see Black Cat that girl is the woman I see.
I know there are more, tons more, but for now how about you guys? Any real non-actor person, real actor or actor's portrayal that fills your head when you read comics?
