Next Batman Movie In 2021; No Affleck

[The Bat]

Honestly. at this point...I'll just be happy if they don't cast Michael B. Jordan as Batman.

I wouldn’t be opposed to Arnie Hammer as Bats...

Yeah, he definitely wouldn't be the worst choice. And his name is being thrown into the casting rumor pile...

[hedrap]

That's his people. There's a reason he hasn't been go-to, and it's called the Lone Ranger.

[knight errant00]

That's his people.

Well, that and he was Batman in George Miller's abandoned-at-the-11th-hour Justice League movie from 15 years ago. Hammer's got stories of his costume fittings and everything.

Hammer was far from the worst thing in Lone Ranger and has done good work since.

I've only ever seen Hammer in Man From Uncle, which I love. I just don't see him as Bruce Wayne, but maybe he'd be good if they just keep the cowl on him the entirety of the new film.

I was surprised to learn that my boss' wife was a sorority sister with Armie Hammer's mom when they were both University students. He casually mentioned it one day.

Hammer was actually a decent Lone Ranger. Johnny Depp as Tonto on the other hand, terrible.

Hammer is good in The Social Network, check it out.

Hammer is 6’ 5”...he might be too tall for Batman though...

Hammer would be fine. Good actor, in a horrible Lone Ranger movie. In the last five minutes, he's allowed to start acting like the character.

Robert Pattinson is not a bad actor. He was in a series of popular bad movies. Heath Ledger was just known for fluffy fare early in his career and made a great Joker. I'm not saying I want Pattinson, but he may be able to surprise us if cast.

PS - I heard from several unreliable internet sources now that it is Pattison to play Bats

Interesting that Adam West was the closest to the comic book version in size.
