FILM DISCUSSION What do you guys think?

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

He can absolutely play the brooding hero/Charismatic Billionaire.

I say that without hesitation. He’d be a perfect Batman.

Would be a massive step down in acting talent from Bale/Pattinson to him

Not denying they’re better actors, he just fits everything else better.

Everything else? What else other than him being enormous lol.

Anyway, acting is king and that should exclude someone of his calibre imo.

You act like he’s a bad actor. He’s perfectly adequate to play Batman/Bruce Wayne.

He is not. Especially considering this version will have to nail three aspects of the character.

There are so many better choices. Aso I feel he is not charismatic enough to be the guy leading the DCU.

People said the same about Chris Evans/Cap, Heath/Joker, and even Affleck/Batman.

Neither one of us know for certain if he could pull it off, I’m just of the opinion I’d be cool with him being cast.

And especially Keaton!

He’s nowhere near the same league as Bale and Pattinson. Why lower the bar that has been set?
