Yeah, in hindsight it's so weird that they tried to hype up Affleck as an old Dark Knight Returns Batman when he barely looked any older than Cavill. I think it's part of why some people are so touchy about age. Affleck getting cast in his early 40s as an Old Man DKR Batman has made some people...

(link) I don't think he'd be a great choice, but it's interesting that Milo Ventimiglia's auditioned for Bruce before - apparently for The Batman, too, which is interesting given how much older he is than Pattinson/Hoult/everyone else who was seriously considered. Might mean he ends up in the...

Probably won't happen because of his age, but I'd love to see Charles Dance as Alfred.

You know, I think I'm sold on Lee Pace. Sure, I don't love the age gap between him and Corenswet, but the more I think about it the more it kind of seems inevitable: they're doing Batdad with an extended Batfamily, and they'll want to distinguish their version from the Reevesverse, so why cast...

It's insane to me that Pattinson is close to 40. Could easily pass as a decade younger (which is pretty much exactly what they wanted with his version of Bruce). Funny how possible it is that we might end up with an actor younger than him playing a much older Batman.

Christopher Abbott could be good. He's good actor, has been in enough big projects without yet being a big name himself and seems right on the cusp of becoming a leading man with Leigh Whannell's Wolfman movie. He looks the part, is a decent age, and feels believable as a patriarch. Greenwood...

Lee Pace would be fantastic but part of me worries that the age gap between him and Corenswet would be too obvious. Like I'm sure it'd be fine and I'm probably just overthinking it, but it still feels a little weird to imagine Batman being a decade and a half older. But since Gunn's talked...
