    Its difficult to replace Bale. But I think only Fassbender would be able to reach up to meet that standard. He looks so nice and handsome and sauve, yet he has played such dark, intense characters. He would be able to carry out that anguish and damaged childhood thing pretty well.

    I believe that Bale is hard to replace, for some time I thought that Fassbender was the only one who could pull both Bruce and Batman but he is way to close to Marvel now. Now I think that Scott Adkins can do it.

    Christian is one of the candidates. Suppose no one can replace Bale better than Bale himself. But srsly Guy Pearce is perfect for this, he can do buff, he's sexy, he can be dangerous. Also, Anton Yelchin for a teenager batman y/y?

    Really | 10.10.12 02:42:19 PM

    This is the list that they come up with? Most of these actors are pretty weak.

    What about Adrian Brody? He's certainly a good actor and built enough.

    Scott | 10.09.12 10:23:13 PM

    If any of you have seen Dredd then you know that Karl Urban would be perfect for batman: kicks ass, fit, takes justice into own hands, kicks ass

  • Good Actors vs. Popular Actors

    Jeff | 10.09.12 11:47:02 AM

    Jake Gyllenhaal as Batman makes me cry from laughter. I would love for them to use JGL and continue on the Nolan Universe. Gabriel Macht wouldn't be bad. He plays a good rich, arrogant guy in Suits and has some experience with fighting in movies such as The Recruit and The Spirit, even though The Spirit was horrible. Jeffrey Donovan kicks ass in Burn Notice.

    Not that Tom Hiddleston is not a tremendous actor, but it would be funny to see Marvel's Loki as Batman. XD
