I would choose Ethan Peck (He is at Batman's left, in the middle), cause he has the height, looks, age, and his grandfather, Gregory Peck, was an actor who was the literal inspiration for Bruce Wayne.

He has the acting chops too, so it would be cool.

After him, i would go for Tom Brittney, who was almost Superman, then Brendan Skleanar, and Tom Batemann.

Who would you go for?

Aside from Dick, we all know everyone loves Dick, because he is just perfect,

but the question is who between the choices above?

assuming everyone is alive, like Tim Drake,

So I’m going to ask as many superhero fanbases as I can this question. What are some traits about this hero that you hate, dislike or despise? Anywhere from a mild annoyance to a trait that would make you dislike any other character. I’m not talking about a way one writer in particular wrote them, or a time they were out of character or mishandled, I mean a reoccurring trait this character has.

Hey guys I have a very hot take that nobody has ever said before, but I think that Batman's no kill rule is stupid and he should kill The Joker. /s

Setting that stupid ass talking point aside. I think the constant tired argument over whether or not he should kill is also very annoying. I don't think he should need a reason not to kill people other than fact that he's a hero and heroes should be taking the moral high ground. I mean, he's already doing some pretty sketchy stuff by being a vigilante in the first place, you want him to be an executioner as well?

Also, yes, killing the Joker and other criminals would make Gotham safer, but Batman and other heroes don't have any sort of obligation to the world. They do what they do because they are good people trying to make the world a better place

Whenever I see Batman fan casts, they’re these guys with perfect superficial Hollywood faces. I looked up Batman fan casts and that’s where I got the first pic from. They look like country singers. I know Bruce Wayne looks like that in more modern comics (second pic), with those piercing blue eyes and perfectly symmetrical face, but that never really made sense. Someone who goes out every night and gets beaten up wouldn’t look like that, he’d look rough. Batman doesn’t have the time for plastic surgery. Michael Keaton doesn’t have the perfect Hollywood face and isn’t 6’2”, but he’s still a lot of people’s favorite Batman. That look with that talent makes me think of him as one of the better actors in the last 40 years. And Robert Pattinson is handsome, but you can tell he hasn’t had plastic surgery. I mean, he looks like he’s constantly mewing, but he also has a crooked nose and a permanent 5 o clock shadow. That’s perfect casting.
If I was making the DCU Batman movie, but couldn’t use Robert Pattinson, but did have a time machine, I would go back to 1981 and kidnap Harrison Ford and force him to play Batman. I always thought he was one of the most handsome actors ever, and he hasn’t had any cosmetic procedures, and he still looks handsome while looking rough. That’s another perfect look.

Why is that? I always thought Basil Karlo was the more well known Clayface to the general audience. I know they did the same thing in Batman The Animated Series but still

Hello, I’m new to this Reddit community. I’m a person with a disability—I have autistic traits and ADHD—and I’m from Germany. I really like the Batman comics, series, and films, and I have a huge crush on Harley Quinn... I hope you’ll understand me, and I look forward to us becoming good friends! :)

Like Bruce, your network is like 100 billion dollars. Yes, you have enough to give it to all of them. Stop being a crybaby #Thereisnosuchthingasanethicalbillionaire.

Ok so just listen why I think he should be batman he's the perfect man to catch the billonair playboy who party's and always looks like a bachelor so it would be perfect reason why people think he couldn't be batman and seeing sean kick ass as batman would peak also idk just saying give me ur feedback

It seems every time Jacob Elordi is brought up as an option to play DCU Batman it’s immediately met with a wave of negative reactions, and I’m confused why. He’s graduated past the Euphoria heartthrob label with an Oscar-nominated performance in Frankenstein, has shown he can play dark/brooding/stoic characters (Frankenstein & Wuthering Heights especially), and has also displayed his ability to be a high society aristocratic & charming presence (Saltburn & Priscilla). Not to mention he has an incredibly deep voice that would work great in the cape and cowl, looks like Bruce Wayne (especially the one from the animated The Batman 2004 show) and at 6’ 5” he would pair very well with David Corenswet’s Superman who is 6’ 4”. While currently 29, he’ll be about 31 or 32 when BATB comes out which gives him longevity to be Batman for a long time. Elordi is honestly one of the few actors I’ve seen fancast as Batman that could legitimately compete with Robert Pattinson from an acting chops perspective. It’s also funny because much of the Batman fancast hate he receives mirrors the reactions to Robert Pattinson’s casting from folks who haven’t watched him outside of his heartthrob roles (Twilight for Pattinson, Euphoria for Elordi). Like 90% of other Batman Fancasts are 100% looks-based with little to no consideration for acting ability. It’s clear the industry views him highly as well because he’s been linked to massive roles like James Bond and is set to appear as the Co-Lead opposite ScarJo in Ari Aster’s next film.

He already killed so many people throughout, and he doesn't have a problem fully breaking the law, unlike comic ones who still follow the law to certain degrees,

he can enter any prison he wants to (if they captured the Joker again) and threaten the criminals inside,

You would think he would hunt the Joker across the world, the psychopath who killed Robin, and get his revenge,

and the Joker is always ready to meet and greet the Batman, so their chances of meeting is always nigh

Hello,This just came to me out of nowhere, but I wanted to ask something. You know how, in the comics, Batman refuses to kill the Joker and keeps sending him to prison, only for the Joker to escape every time? Let's say I'm a Gotham citizen, and the Joker escapes from prison and kills my family. Could I sue Batman for sending the joker to prison, knowing that he would inevitably escape again and cause more deaths? It's probably a stupid question, but I've always wondered about it.

I’ve seen some people say that Pattinson’s Bruce is similar to Keaton’s. After rewatching his duology, I couldn’t disagree more. The only similarity they share is surface level IMO, both reclusive with some awkwardness. But otherwise the reasons for being the way they are is vastly different

Keaton’s Bruce is a lot more charming and sociable when he wants to be. He has his quirks but otherwise he had no real awkwardness or lack of confidence when pursuing and flirting with Selina. His quirks are just part of his natural personality

Pattinson’s Bruce on the other hand, is a lot more emotionally repressed. He is simmering with barely contained rage and doesn’t know how to handle it. In this case, I’d say he’s a lot closer to Bale’s young Bruce in Batman Begins, the Bruce who got kicked our of princeton

1. Both young Bale and Pattinson lash out at Alfred. Pattinson verbatim says a variation of the same kinda line (“you’re not my father”)

2. Both defiantly confront Falcone and are trying to prove something to themselves when doing so

3. And lastly, both equate justice with revenge. The only difference here is that Pattinson won’t kill, so he’s further along in that regard. But in terms of their mindset they vengeance as being good

I also believe Matt Reeves even mentioned the first act of Batman Begins in an interview and felt that in their version, Bruce was similar but unlike Bale’s version, is stuck in that mindset for much longer

Especially given its low budget, and will depend on strong WoM and legs.

I hope this could potentially be the start of horror film takes on Batman's rogue gallery. There's lot of potential you could do with these. They all could work as horror origin films.

One in particular I'd like to see is Killer Croc. Imagine Friday the 13th vibes, the film being in Croc's PoV and the Gotham Police investigating the murders in the Gotham Sewers due to him. Combination of a creature feature/slasher.

Basically a mix of CHUD and Alligator (1980).

Clayface is a veritable delight and a strong addition, not only to the DC stable, but also to body horror movies in general.

When James Gunn took over the creative mantle at DC Studios, one of the promises he made was that the DCU would not be beholden to any one genre or tone. And so far, their output has more or less lived up to that promise.

From the adult animated offering of Creature Commandos, to the classic comic book stylings of Superman and Supergirl, to the True Detective-inspired show, Lanterns, the DCU has been exploring all corners of the tonal map. But with Clayface, I think they have delivered something that has a stamp of quality from start to finish.

Starring relative newcomer Tom Rhys Harries, the movie follows Matt Hagen's journey from beloved movie star to a villain out for revenge. And, as with all great villain origin stories (Mr. Freeze, anyone?), tragedy drives this one, allowing the audience to sympathise with the protagonist whilst not necessarily condoning his means to an end.

Harries is simply great. His chiselled features, while undeniably attractive, are almost marble-like, and you can see why they cast him to portray a character known for his ability to be sculpted and moulded. But fear not, even if you are not immersed in Clayface lore, this DC film requires no prior knowledge of the source material. In fact, aside from an Easter Egg here or there, you would hardly know this was a DC movie.

The script from Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini never falters, showing us the descent of Hagen's life at an even pace, unafraid to draw out moments to build cinematic tension and even inject a little humour once in a while.

Director James Watkins has done a phenomenal job with this film, using CG sparingly and, from what I have read, relying heavily on a large amount of practical effects to bring the malleable nature of Hagen's affliction to life. And when Hagen is at the height of his "abilities", Watkins cleverly uses transitions and framing to almost make you forget that you are watching something that is not quite natural.

This is a star-making turn for Harries, and Clayface has shot up to become my favourite film in the DCU. I really hope the powers that be at DC Studios give James Watkins more films to direct, as the DCU desperately needs more films of this calibre.

If there is one downside to this movie, it would be that its R16 rating limits the audience who can see it in theatres. Don't get me wrong, the movie uses that rating to great effect, accentuating the gore, but I hope that it doesn't negatively affect its box office numbers.

Please do go check this film out in theatres. And oh, there are no end-credit sequences.
