But can he still be the next Bond?

But can he still be the next Bond?

Lets hope not.

We'll be lucky if we'll get the Batman casting before August. Because that month has been the one where both Bale and Affleck had been announced in the role for their films that had a February a start date initially (but with BvS later pushing the start of filming to May of 2014) and Reeves' Batman will also probably start shooting around that month. Just a pattern to keep in mind, especially since Reeves doesn't seem to be in a hurry to cast the role according to Sneider and Kroll (which is something that I hate for many reasons, ugh)...

 

[Boom]

...Btw, Ikaris is into milfs, huh?

Bale was cast on 9/11.

Still prefer Reeves' style. Never been a fan of plucking one successful superhero director to another franchise. Their successes in one property doesn't automatically translate.

As do I. For me, it's not really about plucking another successful superhero director, but more about the tone and what directors can bring to the character. I feel like Matt Reeves has more of a pulse on Batman, and the kind of world he inhabits more than the Russos do.

Robert Battinson, lets gooooooooooooo

Hi Bruce

 

[The Batfan]

Bale was cast on 9/11.

Really?! Too bored to check... Even "worse" in that case, relatively speaking...

I love him for it.

Efron would be a better Riddler

 

[thebatfan5194]

Gotta say I think he would be an interesting younger Bruce... I could see him aging into the role well too.

 

[Boom]

PROS:
- He falls within the age range Matt Reeves is looking at (25-33).
- He fits the general physical profile for the role (tall, dark-haired, square-jawed).
- He has a cleared schedule.
- He is a very talented up-and-comer who isn't a household name just yet. Purely conjecture on my part, but he feels like a Matt Reeves-type of pick. And according to Jeff Sneider, he's picking up heat in the industry.
- Communicates with his eyes quite effectively.

CONS:
- Going off of past interviews, he may not be interested in this sort of high-profile, celebrity-making role.
- He has a slight frame, so he'd need to put in the hours at the gym. Is that something he'd want to do?

FILMS TO WATCH:
It Comes at Night
James White
Piercing
The Sinner
Sweet Virginia

UPCOMING:
Catch 22 (May 17th on Hulu)

FUN FACT:
One of his favorite childhood movies was Batman (1989).

Catch 22

Dude's a great actor. Catch-22 is my all-time favourite book, so I'm really excited to see him tackle Yossarian. Outside of Pattinson he's my #1 choice.

 

[FunkMiller]

Still not seeing a compelling reason for this guy beyond looks and that he was once cast in a completely different project.

Scratch Madden off the list.

Kit Harington it is, then.

Imho is too creepy. After watching Sweet Virginia I would never buy this guy as Bruce Wayne
