Who should be the next Batman?

[Griffolion]

If they were breaking from the Trilogy, I'd like to see someone like Samuel L Jackson as Batman. He'd make such a badass Batman.

He's way too old.

Donald Glover, on the other hand...

Well isn't part of the point of Batman that he's actually a bit older as a person? As in, passed his prime but uses his wealth to build technology that can bring him the advantage again? I might be wrong. But I like Donald Glover. If not Batman, he'd be a good Robin. And Spiderman.

-snip-

Haha, that would be awesome. I love Idris Elba, he's such a good actor.

I think both of these have a good bruce wayne look

if mat buffed up a bit he could pull of batman

 

[Bestival]

I want Paul Bettany. Mostly because I just want to see him in more stuff, but I also think the world is finally ready for a blond batman.
Neil Patrick Harris could be his blond Robin!

Well depends on the continuity, but these days yeah, tends to be the rule of thumb, especially with universes that have Damien Wayne in them.

OT: Kevin Conroy...a man can dream. I want this to happen not only because Conroy IS Batman, but so that some nitwits can stop praising Bale for his awful performance. It wasn't just a bad Batman/Bruce Wayne, it was a bad performance, Bruce Wayne came off as a whiny dick and Batman was...a gravel mixer.

If Bale comes back as Batman for Justice League, there will be blood.

If Neil Patrick Harris is anyone, he's gotta be the Flash, mainly because he was Flash in the Justice League series and the versions of the characters in that are pretty much my definitive versions. Get Paul Dini and Bruce Timm to write the script and Josh Wheden or Zack Snyder to direct and I will be a fucking happy Bunny.

Edit: derp, is actually Michael Rosuembaum not Harris, just to save anyone else the trouble.

Since we went down that road, how about Idris Elba? He has at least the smooth playboy thing down.

Oh, good choice there. I think he could do Wayne and Batman.

uh, Michael Rosenbaum was flash in JLU.

 

[Vanorae]

Much like MovieBob said about two weeks ago: Enough with the Batman already. I love this superhero as much as the next girl but I think we need a break. Christopher Nolan did a great job with his trilogy. Can't we wait a while before we start again?

 

[Friendly Lich]

NOBODY we need to move on to a different hero already

I stand corrected. He was Flash in The New Frontier, and was credited in an episode I watched recently, obviously in my head I'd decided that that was the case >< Though I still think Harris could do a good Flash, Rosenbaum has the acting chops too obviously, but then we get into whole new levels of meta what with him being Lex Luthor in Smallvill, and now that I remember it properly, that scene where Flash and Luthor swap bodies.

 

[FoolKiller]

get kevin conroy to a gym and put him in the suit for real.

Hmm... maybe not but it would work perfectly for a Batman Beyond movie.

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

Samuel L. Jackson.

Kidding of course, as a completely different issue, I don't want a non-white Batman (I have reasons). But we could always...not make a Batman movie for a bit...? For a change.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

Shia LeBouf. With Megan Fox as Batwoman. And Justin Bieber as Robin.

Now, can we please put all things Batman and Batman related aside for awhile?

Funny thing, Neil Patrick Harris has already played Dick Grayson. As Nightwing at least.

While where sharing flash video's I'd like to share this one which in my opinions shows why the flash is one of the best superheroes:

 

[SonOfVoorhees]

Michael Keaton was the best batman. Only thing stopping bale was his stupid batman voice, that was so lame.

 

[Something Amyss]

Adam West. To go forward, we must go back.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Cosmo Kramer, obviously.

 

[EHKOS]

Stan Lee. Just for all the chaos it would cause. Or Robert Downy Jr. That would actually be cool. He would actually work. Holy shit he would actually work. I want to see this now.

 

[Andy of Comix Inc]

I've always thought Kevin Conroy would probably work as a live-action Bruce Wayne. Not sure about Batman, but at least he has the voice.

I also always thought that if you applied enough make-up (and design a good enough costume), Mark Hamill could reprise his role as Joker damn well, too. Go ahead and prove me wrong, Hollywood!

 

[VoidWanderer]

Armie Hammer would do a good job I think.

Wow.,.. I am not sure what it is about this guy, but I HATE his grin. I really want to hit him in the face with a large flat object. I am sure he a nice guy, but by the gods, I really hate him in that photo.

Oh, and my two cents?

Richard Downey Jr.
