I could see it. Don't know if he can pull off the American accent.
Don't know if these have been suggested before, But what about Josh Harnett, or maybe Jake Gyllenhaal as Bats/Bruce?
Heh, I don't know either. I've never even seen him act. I just saw a picture of him in GOT and thought he looked rather Bruce-ish.
Hartnett is not a great actor and Gyllenhaal is not convincing as a tough guy.
I just want them to get a good actor who looks like he might be tougher than he seems. I don't find all the images of model-come-actors doing the 'blue steel' to be particularly instructive.
Well apparently Batman will be youngish when JL begins.
Richard Madden for example will be the right age by the time things start.
Sadly Gandolfini died today.Since I'm actually hoping for an on-going series and not a trilogy, here are my hopefuls for all the characters of new Batman universe. I have left the biggest role (which is of course Bruce) out because I honestly don't know who I want in the role yet.
Dick Grayson/Robin/Nightwing... Dave Franco
Jim Gordon... Josh Brolin
The Joker... David Tennant
Penguin... Bob Hoskins
Selina Kyle/Catwoman... Mila Kunis
Edward Nygma/Riddler... Johnny Depp
Roman Sionis/Black Mask... Tim Roth
Hugo Strange... Phillip Seymore Hoffman
Harley Quinn... Fairuza Balk
Renee Montoya... Michelle Rodriguez
Harvey Bullock... James Gandolfini
Alfred Pennyworth... John Hurt
Not sure about other characters yet.
I kind of agree with this, I get tired of the anti-hero Batman with the police against him just as much as the villains.I really hope that it's not a year one or two Batman. Have it start off in his fifth year as Batman or something. Show flashbacks to explain characters and villains that are already established in Gotham within the new film universe. That way we can get more of a story like the comic books since they won't have to show full origins. You can also put more characters in each film this way (once again like the comics), instead of being limited to two villains and use the already overdone film template.
