Affleck is 75% out as Batman. Who'd you recast for Bruce Wayne?

I'd suggest either Jon Hamm or Karl Urban or Josh Hartnett. Hartnett seems unlikely as Hollywood apparently gave up on him.

I'd like to see Michael Keaton return.

It’s gonna be a younger batman so hamm and urban wouldn’t work since they’re the same age as Affleck.

CGI de-aging.

Just kidding. If the story is set in stone, you may be right. Who would you cast?

Matt Damon is of course the only choice lol

Jake Gyllenhaal. He may be approaching 40, but if they filmed it within the next few years he could still pass as mid-30s.

Not a bad choice but isn't he already playing Mysterio in the MCU?

I like the idea of Jon Hamm but I bet Karl Urban would be great in the role. He has more of an intensity about him.

I second Urban. He's got the right persona.

A young up and coming actor.

I think someone unknown.

Liam Hemsworth. Tall, handsome but not pretty, big jaw, better actor than his brother.

[–] HarlemEagle42 (18100) 6 years ago

I like Liam better than most, key word being most since I believe fan reactions will be quite nasty. At any rate they're gonna have to find someone else soon if this does start in November.
