We Need Barry's Bill Hader in DCU: Top Picks for Characters He Could Portray
Fans believe Bill Hader was born to portray these characters.
With the upcoming reboot of the DC cinematic universe, fans are going crazy suggesting all kinds of actors for the roles they would love to see them in. This time, the man of the hour, Bill Hader, is making waves among comic book fans.
First off, why Bill Hader? Well, Bill Hader is a true chameleon in the entertainment industry. In HBO’s black comedy crime drama, Barry, Hader brilliantly balanced dark themes with lighter comedic elements, making him a perfect fit for DC,
But the question is: who could he portray in the DCU? Let's take a look at some of the top picks from fans.
Kite-Man
In the comic books, Kite-Man is a low-level Gotham villain who has become something of a meme, known for his signature catchphrase, "Kite-Man, hell yeah!". This guy is an underdog, often overshadowed by Gotham's high-profile villains.
But don't we all love an underdog story? Bill Hader's expertise in bringing unique and quirky characters to life could do wonders for Kite-Man.
Plastic Man
Next on the list is Plastic Man, a fun-loving hero known for his humor and almost cartoonish stretchy powers. Hader's strong comedic timing and natural charm would make for a brilliant portrayal of Plastic Man.
Detective Chimp
Detective Chimp is sarcastic, witty, and incredibly insightful. His character strikes a perfect balance between humor and seriousness — a combination that Hader is particularly skilled at portraying.
Psycho Pirate
Psycho Pirate is a bit of a wild card. A villain who can manipulate emotions, he's a character that requires a more nuanced and dark performance.
But if anyone can pull it off, it's Hader. His work in Barry shows that he can handle darker themes while maintaining a hint of humor. Psycho Pirate under Hader's acting could be a truly compelling villain for the DCU.
Mister Miracle
Last but certainly not least, we have Mister Miracle. The world's greatest escape artist, Mister Miracle is a hero, but also a deeply relatable figure dealing with anxiety and depression.
This role could provide Hader with an opportunity to once again prove his talent as an actor.
