Maybe he could play Killer Croc in Batman reboot or Bizarro in a Man of Steel sequel...

Don't see him as Batman/Bruce at all.

Stick to Flash Thompson..the only Marvel character he should ever play. Dude can't act for shyyt.

I like Joe, he is actually one of the few good things on True Blood and is closer to the physicality of Bruce Wayne than any previous actor to date.

I think he would've made a great Superman. If you read the interview he talks more about his and Snyder's approach to the character.

i can dig him as Bats he's got the talent for it, and would have a different bat voice than bale which could win over people. I say go for it Warners

This guy is just desperate to be in a comic book movie it seems. I think the perfect guy to take over the role of Batman would be Alex O'Loughlin from Hawaii Five-O.

There's more to this interview concerning how Joe would approach Clark Kent/Superman and much of it might be influenced from what he already knows about the film.

He'd be a great Batman, probably not so good as Bruce though. I'm a big True Blood fan and he is one of my favorite characters on the show. Trouble is, he is scripted to play the muscle on the show, and apart from growling and snarling, it would seem he's there to just look good without a shirt.

But that is judging by ONE role. Flash is nothing like Alcide Herveaux, and if I had known the two were one in the same, I'd have died (not really, but its the expression).

He could surprise you.

I don't really see him as Batman. Punisher or Hawkman maybe

Terrible actor. Most WWE guys can act circles around this meathead.

Is it me or does it show how unoriginal Hollywood is? They are talking about a reboot of a franchise that hasn't even released it's "final" film yet. This is getting pretty old, pretty quick. The Hulk was one thing because it was back in Marvel's hands. Spidey, not so much. And sorry...The Batman Reboot is going to be too soon as well.

Maybe they should concentrate on getting it right the first time instead of..."Well, we'll reboot it in a few years".

As much as I like (not love) the Nolan films...It's done a disservice to the DC universe because if he just would have let it be part of a shared universe, we wouldn't have to deal with this reboot nonsense in a few years.

All the comments make me laugh. In the beginning who hated Tobey McGuire, Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, Chris Evans, for their respective roles? This guy didn't look a thing like Flash when he started on True Blood! I was shocked it was the same actor.

I think he'd be great in pretty much any of the roles he's talked about and probably a lot more than people know. He plays the bearded, scruffy, muscle because he's an actor and that's what he's paid to do. It's ridiculous to think that's all he can do. Settle down, give the man a chance.

I hate, hate hate HATE that everybody's already planning for the Batman reboot a month before TDKR hits theaters.

That's the problem I have with the Amazing Spider-man. It looks like it could be an amazing movie, but the tacky "let's rush the reboot into production so we have a big profit this year" studio mentality is really tarnishing the film IMHO.

I'm with you there, santoanderson.

Why would they reboot Batman? Is anything sacred? Nolan finally finishes the ultimate Batman trilogy, and they wanna start over?

Super turbo Fail-tacular

I HATE the idea of a Batman reboot as much as any of you...

But it just strikes me as odd that half of you are in major support of TASM when um THATS A REBOOT TOO!

Dude can't really talk coherently. Must be too used to reading a script for what to say.

Or he's hungover.

Jon Hamm as Batman. There are so many times I watch Mad Men and just say "Damn, this guy can play Bruce Wayne ". Also if you guys are watching True Blood, Christopher Meloni is on their and I'm sorry but he was completley miscasted in Man of Steel. The guy could clearly own as Les Luthor.
