February 13, 20196 yr With Affleck out, who do y'all want as the next batman? Does anybody even care anymore with the DC Universe? Rumored shortlist from WB: Ansel Elgort Dylan O’Brien Logan Lerman Noah Centineo Jack O’Connell Kit Harrington Nicholas Hoult Aaron Taylor-Johnson Richard Madden Robert Pattinson Armie Hammer https://www.google.com/amp/s/wegotthiscovered.com/movies/another-game-thrones-star-eyed-next-batman/amp/
February 13, 20196 yr I don’t know half of those but the ones I do know, pass. I mean Dylan O’Brien? He’s gotta be 5’9 150 soaking wet. Still trying to make Armie Hammer happen? Guess he’d be fine.

February 13, 20196 yr And does it really matter? No one is ever topping Bale. That ship has sailed. Just like no one is ever topping my avatar.
February 13, 20196 yr Author Jack O'Connell is rumored to be the favorite. I like the idea of Jon Hamm.
February 13, 20196 yr Joe Cole Sam Claflin Taron Egerton wait edit.. i thought we were doing Bonds again... carry on gents! Edited February 13, 20196 yr by kingkoopa6 bond
February 13, 20196 yr It’s time for idris Elba to be Batman. Lead the way, Hollywood. He’d actually probably kill in that role.

I'll take Keaton over him... But in the end my favorite interpretation of Batman, AND the Joker will always be the Animated Series versions(Conroy and Luke Skywalker himself).
February 13, 20196 yr Guess it makes too much sense to make a Dark Knight Returns type movie with Keaton.
February 13, 20196 yr Michael B. Jordan Idris Elba Mahersala Ali Kevin Hart Just to get that out of the way.
February 13, 20196 yr Or maybe George Clooney will get a big endorsement from Grecian Formula and return. Or Val Kilmer can get on Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig.

But in the end my favorite interpretation of Batman, AND the Joker will always be the Animated Series versions(Conroy and Luke Skywalker himself). Agreed, Bale held serve, and that's no small accomplishment when the other actors were Ledger, Caine, Freeman and Oldman. Part of it is that the Batman movies became "Batman Presents the Villian" and good or bad, the villains dominate the movies, with Batman being almost a passive character. Even in the terrible ones, Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey, Uma Thurman, and Arnold were the main characters. They need an unknown who's got some size, acting ability, and is in the right age range. There aren't that many action actors under fifty, now, that aren't tied to a super hero already.

February 13, 20196 yr Problem would be, much like on Surly, people would think they're trying to be more inclusive and PC by adding a female Robin...without knowing it was a girl in the source material.
February 13, 20196 yr Just go with Will Arnett. He's already Lego batman, so it should be an easy transition.
February 13, 20196 yr 9 minutes ago, EvilCaseMcCoy said: A female robin? No way we're ready for that the fact that male actors aren’t being considered for catwoman shows how hypocritical hollywood really is.
February 13, 20196 yr 7 minutes ago, Red Five said: He’s been mentioned for everything else, so how about Chris Pratt? Will Red play Robin?

Keaton was great and every bit as good or better from an acting standpoint (wasn't quite as believable from a physical stand point). Bale is good but it's more about Nolan's vision. At least Bale approximated the physicality needed although I thought he was a bit lame in 3. 1. Make sure he's fucking American. The Brits throw fits when an American gets brought up for Bond or Harry Potter or whatever. Superman, Batman, Spiderman, etc. Those guys should be American actors, IMO. 2. Ensure he physically meets the role. Kitt Harrington? WTF? He's like 5'5". Logan Lerman? He's like 5'9" and 135 lbs. Jack O'Connell is around 5'8". Most of the top six on the list are terrible ideas and short, smallish guys. That's fucking terrible. Bruce Wayne/Batman when he puts on the mask is fully formed from a physical standpoint. He doesn't grow into the fucking role. 3. Getting a fucking adult, not a tweener. Matt Bomer would be fine if he could put on about 35 lbs of muscle although a bit small. Hammer has shown some acting chops and has the physique, he'd be interesting. Lone Ranger almost killed his young career, would he put on another mask? I love John Hamm, a decade ago but that's not what they're going for and he's 47. Gyllenhall is the right age but a little small and he's in the new Spider-man. May be too much Superhero fatigue. Jack Huston is a little small but right age and edge. Like to see what Chris Pine could have done in the role, but he's already in the DC universe. Bradley Cooper? Jensen Ackles if you want a pretty boy? Lee Pace? I feel like Hammer is the obvious choice so they'll fuck it up.
