Slightly OT...Josh Brolin as Batman?

With Christian Bale out as Batman for the Batman/Superman movie, I was surprised to hear that Josh Brolin's name has been mentioned to be the next Batman. At first I kind of rolled my eyes at his name being thrown around for the role, thinking it was just either a joke or a long shot "throwing names out at random" bit at best...

But why not Josh Brolin? We know he can play dark and brooding, and he totally encompasses every role that he plays. The producers of the movie are talking an older Batman...so why not give the guy a chance?

Even my fiancee, who we in our family refer to as the "Leonard Hoffstedder" of Central Illinois (He knows his stuff when it comes to EVERY super hero....from Batman to Quicksilver to Dark Canary...) was REALLY into Brolin playing the superhero. This surprised me because he is normally not a huge fan of Josh Brolin. My fiancee thought that Brolin would be a great fit for the dark side of the role.

So, what do you think? Josh Brolin as Batman? Would you watch?
