Admittedly Urban is one of the lesser respected actors on the list (sorry Karl, I just calls it like I sees it!), however, I dont necessarily think that removes him from the running here so to speak. Its only since seeing him cast as Dredd in the recent release of the same name. I saw that exposed jaw, I witnessed the intensity in his performance and immediately though heeey, hed make a good Batman. You could argue that there are way better actors to fill the Christian Bale sized hole that Nolan left behind, but hey, someones got to get the role, and if you ask me, you could do much, much worse than this native New Zealander.
