Jett insists they're going with a 30 something actor.
Isn't that the guy who ran that Batman Film News website? Didn't know he was still aroundJett insists they're going with a 30 something actor.
Yeah and was so anti Affleck I swear and yet he claims he is a Batman fanIsn't that the guy who ran that Batman Film News website? Didn't know he was still around
Yea, I remember him from the BvS days.Yeah and was so anti Affleck I swear and yet he claims he is a Batman fan
He's mentioned Pattinson and Hammer, yes.

As being in contention? Did he say Pattinson is the frontrunner?He's mentioned Pattinson and Hammer, yes.
I remember at the time people complaining about how young Hammer was. And the cast in general.Ironically enough, had JL Mortal ckme out, Hammer would have been younger than even Noah Centineo at age 21 when he shot the movie
I didn't have too strong of an opinion on it either way. Miller wanted Young adult Justice League which was an odd choice..I remember at the time people complaining about how young Hammer was. And the cast in general.

At the time, I just wanted to see how It manifested on-screen.
The most prominent complaint I remember is the the confusion over Bale already/still being Batman while Miller was casting hisI also remember people saying stuff like "Who is this guy?!" and "He's tall but maybe too tall?"
Hammer would have worked fine in the Miller flick, they were all basically no-names and probably cast just basically on appearance. As evident by random-Australian-model-chick-nobody-outside-of-Crikey-Dingoville-has-ever-heard-of as Diana.
Guess that's not too different to Gal, admittedly, but she does seem to have some basic acting chops.
I'd be pretty shocked if Hammer's in actual consideration for this though. His name's on the rise, sure, bigger than he was back with JLA, but can't see him being the "type" Reeves would be looking at.
This definitely sounds like HammerI don’t think it’s that crazy at all... WB has circled back to actors for Superhero roles a lot. Christian Bale was up for Batman in that failed BvS movie before he was cast in Batman Begins, Henry Cavill was up for Superman for the JJ Abrams Movie AND Superman Returns. So Armie’s name being floated around is definitely possible/likely.
Also how does anyone know what “type” Reeves is looking for? Just a hunch based on nothing? If you say looking at his past films he would never pick someone like Armie Hammer, well he’s never made a Superhero movie before, so maybe his vision of Batman would be someone like Hammer.
Armie has also worked with David Fincher, and has started in well regarded indie flicks since JL Mortal fell apart so it’s not like he hasn’t done his due as an actor to prove himself.
