Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Hey, if Marvel can have Johnny Blaze and Captain America as the same actor, I don't see why DC can't have the Green Lantern and Batman as the same actor...

Spoiler

Either way, it's both stupid and Reynolds does not fit Batman at all.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

To be fair, F4 isn't Marvel's as far as movie rights, and they are in the midst of rebooting that series.

Green Lantern never happened.

Rush Limbaugh.

On second thought, this might be a spoiler for a future Batman!

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

You might as well put Michael Cera in the Batsuit.

Umm... YES.

I would watch the absolute HELL out of that. That would be a damn clinic in unintentional comedy.

I've wanted Idris Elba to do it for awhile but that doesn't have a chance in hell of happening.

From an article about who could play Batman next:

Pros: Anyone who’s seen Luther knows this man is a beast. He literally explodes on screen. He can slam his hand on a desk and make your television shake. The experience he has playing a detective could go toward making a very convincing and refreshing take on the character, one unlike any we’ve seen before. He has the charm nailed down, the eyes that struggle to disguise the inner pain and turmoil. He is obviously an impressive physical specimen and would be intimidating under the mask. Forty next year, he is also at the perfect age to carry on the character where Nolan and Bale leave him.

Cons: Yes, Bruce Wayne is not and has never been black, but in Thor this summer Elba played Heimdall, a character that has always been portrayed as white. Hell, if he can play a Norse god he should certainly be allowed a crack at Batman. Everything about him makes him the perfect candidate.

Heimdall ain't exactly a leading man. I'd rather see Elba as John Stewart in a GL film. Or if it's gonna be Batman, make him Batwing.

That's why Marvel did it right, you've got a black/hispanic Spider-Man but it's not Peter Parker, it's Miles Morales.

I agree, just thought it was interesting that he wasn't the only one bringing up Elba.

Another name mentioned in the article, especially if they don't reboot it and stick with the older Bruce was Jon Hamm from Mad Men. He'd make a great Bruce but I don't know how he'd do in the suit.

Jon Hamm has been linked to an older Superman before Cavill came in. You're right though, he could probably do a great Bruce Wayne.

Either way, Batman's gonna have to take a vacation for a little while. Most people would have a hard time not picturing Bale playing the character (including me).

And the amount of racist whining for him playing Heimdall was bad by itself, I can only imagine what would be said if they made him Batman.

Never even heard about that! I wonder if they'll do the same once they find out Perry White (Daily Planet Editor-in-Chief) is being played by Laurence Fishburne.
