Underrated.

They should go with Aaron Eckhart just to fuck with everybody.

What about Ryan Gosling?

 

Good in Blade Runner and Drive.

 

Funny as hell in The Nice Guys. He can actually act and cover both sides of Wayne and Batman.

 

[Surly Bevo 24908]

Bradley Cooper

 

Lady Gaga as Poison Ivy

[futureman 22464]

we’re talking about batman not poison ivy. 

[TexasMan 10891]

I forget who said it best about this (maybe Kevin Smith), but you're not casting Batman, you're casting Bruce Wayne.

To me, Jon Hamm would be great for it.

Would be too similar to Christian Bale, IMO. Ron Swanson for the win...

[Eskimohorn 5635]

Why do we need another Batman?

I think this is a good question. Who cares who the actor is if DC is trying to fit square pegs into round holes. Do they want to make a Batman movie or do they want to make him fit into a universe with fucking Aquaman.

Absolutely correct. That's why Christian Bale is a bit overrated in that role...he obviously was great as Batman(despite the voice), but as Bruce Wayne didn't think he was the best(that's Keaton)

[mulletpelini 5211]

Wasn't the batman in waiting supposed to be the 3rd rock kid?

3 words for ya.

Spoiler

Tom fuckin Cruise.

He said he would only do it if the La La Land director helmed the movie. Then he laughed.

Dacre Montgomery - if they want to go younger

Armie Hammer - if they want classic batman

 

[futureman 22464]

armie hammer is trash

all of these are terrible.  armie hammer is hollywood’s biggest joke.  jon hamm is impossible to take seriously; he simply wouldn’t work.  

give me alexander skarsgard. 

Lee Pace

He could also bond with Robin.

But seriously, Lee Pace would kill it

He has done some good stuff. The 1st bad dude in the GOTG.

You know a Redford Batman with a Hanicap License plate on the Batmobile could be a fun new direction. Or Morgan Freeman as Bruce and Redford as Robin. 

The fight crime in Boca Raton.

How about Timothy Olyphant? He’s 50 but looks 30.

He shoulda been Jack Reacher over wee Tom Cruise.

[Patrick Bateman 3916]

If they go with a traditional Bruce Wayne, then he begins to be Batman in his mid-late 20's in most iterations.  25 from original comics.  Even if he's "grown" into the job with 7-8 years of experience, he's in his early 30's and this is reportedly the version DC is returning to after trying out Frank Miller's older Batman.  So the John Hamm's or Keanu Reeves (JFC) or Liev Schreiber suggestions are misplaced.  To give you an idea, Christian Bale had just turned 30 when he began production on Batman Begins.  The casting is probably going to be someone between 26-35 years old.  Oldest, will probably be late 30's.

[MoJames 8244]

Ok I put in the metrics above to get a list going (Male 26-35). No way to filter based on height. Currently sorted by some IMDB popularity metric.

https://www.imdb.com/search/name?birth_date=1984-01-01,1993-12-31&gender=male

I have no fucking idea who most of these people are and have a hard time seeing any of them producing anything I'd be interested in watching after growing up with Keaton and later enjoying Bale.

I like that you (using term loosely) have Haley Joel Osment and Joffery in there...... Gleeson quit acting or is taking a break, but was the kid in Batman Begins.

And does it really matter? No one is ever topping Bale. That ship has sailed. Just like no one is ever topping my avatar. 

I agree with you but also remember that no one thought anyone would ever top Nicholson's joker.

I actually meant to say that Kevin Durand should have been Jack Reacher.  For whatever that's worth. 

What about Nicholas Hoult as a younger Batman?

People weren't gay back then. He was just a very happy batman.

One name that has not been thrown around that could be a fit:

Logan Marshall-Green

[GottaB 594]

Keaton >>>>> Bale. 

Or batman beyond 

So this was floated on Kevin Smith’s podcast.

Let Michael Keaton play the old batman manning the cave alfred style and a new young actor play that role.
