The guy is 40.

Scott adkins for the win. He is more badass than anyone else. And if you think that he couldn't be a convincing bruce wayne than he is doing it right. Bruce wayne isn't supost to be a playboy. He was raised with anger in his heart, he isn't used to going to parties. For god sakes he spent most of his teenage years in wayne manor.

Listen if you can't get Christain Bale to return, the only real dude I like is that Liam guy for Bats.

Liam or Bale, [frick] the rest.

I think Anson Mount is a great choice for Batman. His voice and stature would lend to his appearance as Bruce and Batman. Hell on Wheels is an excellent show.

@alphadog

Clearly you don't know jack about Batman, sure hes not a playboy on the inside but on the outside he pretends to be one to throw away an suspicion of him possibly being Batman with him acting like a jackass. The comics have done this for years and its a well established part of his character.

Anyone else think since they are going for older actors they should bring the REAL Batman back?

That's right, Val Kilmer.

Shit Adkins would be a badass Batman... If they have batman fighting like that it would be epic... One that has not been done right in live action.

Anson Mount is a pretty intense actor, if you haven't seen HELL ON WHEELS. Hes the best choice for Batman I've seen in years.

Liam McIntyre may have the look and actual height(6'2'') but as far as actually becoming the role, Tyler Hoechlin looks like he can perfectly bring on the feel of the Batman. Hoechlin I believe.

Here is one good name:

Jim Caviezel

Best man for the job,every time i see this guy i think of batman
superotherside

I'd like someone younger but, for older choices I'd pick Scott Adkins. Why? He was fantastic in Ninja and he seems like he could portray not only the acting ability to pull of Batman/Bruce Wayne but also the action.

If they showed some action scenes like this for the new Batman my mind would be blown.
superotherside
superotherside - 8/3/2013, 6:13 AM
I could see Karl Urban but I'd pick Scott over Urban just because he's a few years younger.
Chucky2003
Chucky2003 - 8/3/2013, 6:13 AM
Well Warner Brothers confirmed that the next Bataman will be older,so no chance for these young actors,i still belive Karl Urban is a best choice
superotherside
superotherside - 8/3/2013, 6:14 AM
Scott Adkins is only 37 so he's only 7 years older than Cavill.

@Levi, I think it would be awesome if Keaton went back to the gym and returned. Just my opinion.
Alphadog

@ekrolo2 A bruce wayne that acts like a playboy would be at moat as good at as an ACTOR that pretends to be a playboy.

Anson Mount can play Joel in The Last Of Us.

Huge Anson Mount fan.. I want him to be the next caped crusader.

Why in the world are they going for an older Batman???

How short-sighted are you, WB? You can't possibly use any of these 40+ yr. old actors to reboot a trilogy or star in future Justice League movies. He would be 50 yrs. old by the time Batman gets a sequel (2019) or Justice League gets a sequel (2020).

USE YOUR HEADS, you imbeciles.

I still vouch for Liam McIntyre.

pud333 - 8/3/2013, 6:24 AM
Uh. No, no, no and... no. I barely now who one of these guys are. They already hired an unknown for Superman (relatively speaking), so for Batman, they should hire a MOVIE STAR. Someone very well known.

pud333 - 8/3/2013, 6:24 AM
now = know.

@KingEmperor,

I second that.

My choices are Jim Caviezel and Karl Urban. And for the sake of physicality, it has to be Adkins. For once I'd like to see some gritty acrobatics... I've reconsidered my choice of Hugh Dancy as someone from the rogues gallery rather than the Bats himself.

Eric Bana for an older Batman. He is the perfect choice.
Gmoney84
Gmoney84 - 8/3/2013, 6:31 AM
As much as I like anson he's too old. That is unless WB is establishing a batman where robin and night wing already exist. He would need to be 40 ish.
IronBalls
IronBalls - 8/3/2013, 6:31 AM
If there going to use an older Batman I think they should quite rightly offer it to Adam West.
Its only fitting that he gets an opportunity to bring the role to the big screen and plays a darker, more gritty version.
ClarkFarley2012
ClarkFarley2012 - 8/3/2013, 6:35 AM
Only 2 guys I see playing Bats is Micheal F. But he's too busy with X-Men and Jon Ham who is a bit older. WB your f'd!!

@Chucky: Warner Bros confirmed this when, exactly? I haven't seen any such confirmation whilst hoping it is not true.
