One of the most dreadfully boring screen presences I’ve encountered, honestly.

I don't even know who that is.

Dang not even in White Lotus? I really liked his voicework on X-Men 97 too.

I find all the voice acting in X-Men ‘97 to be especially rubbish, so I won’t hold that one against him lol. But he reminds me of Roger Ebert’s complaint about Paul Henreid in Casablanca - he’s constantly playing characters that context tells me SHOULD have some charisma, likability or presence, and yet he’s just always the least-interesting or likable person in the room, no matter the room. Also, on White Lotus in particular, his American accent just sounds…weird to me.

Theo James is a great actor, the DCU would be lucky to have him in a major leading role. Just doesn't feel like either a natural Batman fit to me or an interesting quirky choice.

Ethan Peck or Bill Skarsgard are my picks at the moment. Skarsgard in particular strikes me a choice in a similar vein to Keaton and Pattinson. Those two are my favorite Batman actors so I have a bit of a preference for him.

Skarsgard as Batman is such a perfect choice but if he's gonna be running parallel to Pattinson he might be too close a Type.

Agreed... he plays the same monotone expressionless robot acting in everything. Not sure how he ever even got a job as an actor.

Uhhhh...no...He was boring in Underworld and equally dreadful in The gentlemen...

Instinctively, I share that feeling.

But after seeing Nosferatu, I can imagine Skarsgard playing a Batman who is finally quite a departure from Pattinson.
The problem? I don't see this version existing at all in the next DCU, which will probably, and ironically, feature a Batman in the vein of Affleck's after BvS (older, gruffer but with a certain lightness).

 

[Da-Scribe]

I never realized Theo James was this divisive lol.

Alan Ritchson ...His REACHER role always makes me believe he would make a great Batman. Big, brutish, scary, and funny with one liners. He is an obvious choice. Which means he won't get it. They will go with some young super skinny guy again and pad his suit.

 

[Boom]

Ritchson reads as too much of a dude-bro for Batman.

I will second Alan Richtson. Also another fan favorite, Jensen Ackles. Brendan Sklenar is also a name I'd be ok with.

 

[donuts]

Don't like either option for the DCU Batman. There are better, more interesting actors for the role. And unless you're making a Dark Knight Returns or Absolute Batman movie, I don't really think that he shoud be a big, brutish brick-wall.

Care to list some actors you would like to see?

Have one in mind, but I'll keep it for myself for now.

 

[emielaen]

Ritchson is practically the opposite of Batman to me.

 

[BobJM]

Sounds like this project is being re-developed; maybe we don't get Damian Wayne after all?

Gunn sounds like he's already prepping folks for a DCU Batman to appear beforehand.

It seems like it has once again been confirmed to be a Batman and Damian Wayne movie during the latest press round.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I mean Gunn said that Damian is his favorite Robin, so yeah.

 

[routhman]

I think Aaron Taylor Johnson is an obvious choice. Strong actor w/the look who hasn’t shied away from lesser-known superhero’s let alone Batman. I’ve seen people mention his voice as being too high, but I think that’s nothing a vocal coach can’t help, and it would work fine for Bruce.
