The thought of JGL in a Batsuit haunts my dreams. Love the guy, and from what I have seen of him in the film; he looks like he's on his A-game. But having someone else take up Bruce's mantle seems to be so out of place. I mean the time it would take for Bruce to properly train someone to be capable of being a suitable replacement, that's pretty much an entire movie right there.
Anyways, John Blake being the new Batman is my biggest worry.
Agree with you 100%. Even if it wasnt JGL, and it was some actor I love to death, I dont want ANYONE trying to take up the title of The Dark Knight.
Think about it. What do we even know about JGL's character, I mean what has he done to make him worthy of being the next Dark Knight? What hardships has he had to face?
Just look at Bruce's resume here. He had to :
- Witness his parents be murdered in front of him
- Travel the world to understand the criminal mind
- Survive for weeks in a filthy prison camp
- Go through brutal training with a league of master assassins
- Master his fears
- Fight against freaking LIAM NEESON and actually WIN
- Confront and fight anarchy itself (Joker)
- Fight the mob
-Construct your own badass weaponry and gadgets
-Live with dual identities
- Destroy any chance of having a real social life by choosing to be Batman
- Basically sacrifice yourself for the good of Gotham (end of TDK)
And John Blake's resume may look something like this:
- Made a couple of arrests
- Some police training
- Gave out some speeding tickets (keep in mind, he got a freaking PAPER CUT while giving one out)
- Ate some donuts
So JGL: Stay away from TDK'S mantle!
