Yeah I know it's alright, I'm just pretty distracted as of today and the last few days so my quick visual scan wasn't as good. But thanks I was thinking partly of like "I should have used ctrl+f" though lol.

But, but...he did Argo! He can do anything!

...or something.

(I wondered what WB would do with Batman after Nolan was done. Guess we know now. Yikes.)

I didn't like Bale as Batman. He was great as Bruce Wayne, but not as Batman. "They're the same person!" Tell that to Bale and Nolan. Who started the whole growling voice thing anyway? Adam West was Bruce AND Batsy, not one then the other. If anything, he should just talk in a lower voice. Or if he's got all this money, why doesn't he just insert a voice modulator in his cowl? That would make more sense then going GWAR every time he suits up.

I still think out of any film or television actor, Kevin Conroy did the best job (pre-Gotham Knights). They really had the right idea on that show where Batman is Bruce Wayne and that brooding, cold, and calculated nature is just how he is. When he's Bruce Wayne, it's an act, and his voice has a more upbeat tone. Every other movie or show seems to do it the opposite way—where Bruce is Bruce but when he has the Batman suit on, he has to use some stupid method to disguise his voice. Bale is probably the worst offender with his ridiculous gravel voice.

Ben Affleck is a good director, but even in Argo his acting was wooden and just not very interesting. I can't see him playing Batman because he's a bit of a powderpuff.

Francis ought to be the next Batman, by the way.

Francis is EXCITED FOR BATMAN! Fat Batman, Fatman

My pick would be someone relatively unknown and about Cavill's age (thought that's secondary). To hell with the established glamour marionettes. They're not hungry anymore. They don't have enough at stake. Even if Affleck would do an ok job as Batman (he won't), he can count on a cushy future. With a newcomer, you can bet he would give his everything to get every detail right.

Get someone who can act, looks like Bruce Wayne, has learned the essentials of Batman's character history and, if possible, is himself a Batman fanatic.

That is difficult. Hollywood simple adores big names. The director must back up the said newcomer to the producer and hope that the producers agree. A lot of aspiring young actors don't get to make it to Hollywood because of that problem even if they are really good.

[A-Yty]

Most of the times, yes. But sometimes things happen. Like with Cavill.

He should thank his lucky stars, since that is a rare occurrence.

[A-Yty]

Yeah, but not just luck. He actively pursued the role.

[Bloodreign]

Maybe instead of Ben Affleck to play Batman, why not the Aflac duck instead.

This is very much the case. In that retrospective, the giant machination known as Hollywood needs to fall in order for new actors with undiscovered, natural talent to be given the chance they deserve.

I would just drag out Adam West to play Batman again, who cares if he's like 80.

From a recent issue of Daredevil. Not a shop.



Either Marvel's got spies in WB or Mark Waid's a fricking prophet.

I'd get him for Bruce Wayne in a Dark Knight Returns adaptation. Not even joking.
