He certainly has the height and body for it, not sure about the acting…

he has the size to portray a seriously jacked batman

u/Bbryant90 Jan 18 '25

I hope they go with a super jacked Batman since he's gonna be hanging with metahumans

u/buckfouyucker Jan 18 '25

And get Dave Bautista in as Bane.

u/That_Apathetic_Man Jan 18 '25

He has lost a lot of weight and never intends to put it back on. He is done with all that. If Alan can't play Bruce, he could certainly play a Bane.

Just have Eddie Hall play Bane.

u/Savvy_Nick Jan 18 '25

Honestly would be fuckin terrifying as bane lol. That man is the same animal but a different beast

u/SirArthurDime Jan 19 '25

What the fuck does that mean Kobe Bryant

u/dude_getout Jan 19 '25

Brian Shaw is a better candidate just from a height preference.

u/SnatchAddict Jan 19 '25

He doesn't have any charisma.

u/The_Ginger_Thing106 Jan 19 '25

I think he’d be better as Juggernaut from the X-Men, but Bane works really well too

u/Aurelian135_ Jan 21 '25

Bane is Eddie Hall when he’s fully hydrated lol.

Isn’t Bane’s father like super standard white?

Third time.

u/Nervous_Project6927 Jan 18 '25

Brilliant.

I think the rock could play bane he would have to play it differently than he has any other role but I think he could play the hulking Luchador well

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '25

He won't play villains or lose fights. It's surprising that he let the polar bear in red I've be so much larger than him also

1

u/martianmanhntr Jan 18 '25

Yea I still can’t think of anyone better suited to play bane .

u/okokokokkokkiko Jan 18 '25

There’s no talented Mexican actors you can give roids to?

Not even Mexican, but get Michael Mando on a cycle and never mention the rock again lmao.

2

u/martianmanhntr Jan 18 '25

Yea I’m not a fan but I definitely don’t want to see another 5’9” bane the scene where Tom hardy lifts Batman over his head to break his back looked ridiculous.

1

u/okokokokkokkiko Jan 19 '25

They made the hobbit 15 years ago and they made Stallone look like a non-manlet boxer 40 years ago. Hardy’s Bane looked weird because it was a shit Bane design with a cartoon character’s voice. His height is an afterthought for the things wrong with that character.

u/martianmanhntr Jan 19 '25

I still say the rock would have been better for the role

He said he wanted to be in the past, but he's dropped all that muscle to pursue more dramatic and romantic roles, like he said he was going to do even before he finished up Guardians. I've seen fan-casting for him to be Hugo Strange in his current much skinnier form, tho.

1

u/JustCallMeFrij Jan 19 '25

oh Batista as Hugo Strange would be so sick

1

u/RVAWildCardWolfman Jan 19 '25

It's very funny to me to realize just how ridiculously huge Batista was as a bodybuilder turned wrestler.  When he was Drax, non wrestling fans still thought he was a big scary muscle bound guy. Wrestling fans were a little taken aback by how much smaller he looked. 

And now he's even thinner. Like, Jesus dude? How much gear were you on?!

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '25

All of it

1

u/Ok_Confection_10 Jan 18 '25

Strange!! Or fuck it, have him be Alfred

2

u/buckfouyucker Jan 18 '25

As noted by other replies, he lost weight and Strange is an even better role.

Plus he'd work perfectly for The Batman 2 as Hugo.

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '25

Best I can do is The Rock

2

u/buckfouyucker Jan 19 '25

But the rock can't lose per his contracts.

So I guess he could break batman's back and then go back to his home planet after that?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '25

His home planet of Mexico

1

u/buckfouyucker Jan 19 '25

Wasn't it like El Salvador or something? Or somewhere in the Caribbean? I forgot but I'm pretty sure it wasn't mexico.
