The Batman Movie: 10 Characters Who Must Appear (And Who Should Play Them)
He is vengeance. He is the night. But, who will be the Batman?
The future of the DCEU changes week by week, and though everyone now has a better idea of what films it will include, one movie in particular has remained as veiled in darkness as the character it will feature, that movie being Matt Reeves' The Batman.
Rumours surrounding who the main antagonist will be have been floating around for a while now, with some suggesting that it will be the Court of Owls and others hinting that it will instead be the Penguin.
Yet, while we may have an idea of who the main target of the Bat will be, we have absolutely no idea who will be fighting alongside the Caped Crusader, who will play him, or even which allies will fight alongside him.
While we may not know for sure which characters will be making the jump from the comics to the big screen in this outing, there are quite a few characters out there who deserve to feature in Reeves' film.
As for who should play them? Here are some suggestions...
10. Batman - Armie Hammer
With it seeming likely that Matt Reeves’ version of Batman will be a younger one, casting someone such as John Hamm (who would be the perfect choice to play an older incarnation of the character) is basically off the table.
Thankfully, there are plenty of talented actors that fit the requirements of this movie, but one of the best for the job would be Armie Hammer.
The actor has been touted as the one to succeed Batfleck for a while now, and it's clear to see why. Hammer is a fantastic actor, one who could easily pass as a real world Bruce Wayne through his appearance and could embody the Dark Knight through his talent at doing action scenes, as evidenced by his appearances in things such as the recent Man From U.N.C.L.E movie.
It's also worth mentioning that Hammer originally portrayed the Dark Knight in George Miller's cancelled Justice League: Mortal, so he's bound to know plenty about the character already.
