10 Last-Minute Replacements If Ben Affleck Quits The Batman

10. Scott Adkins

Scott Adkins may be the least-known name on this list and an unknown quantity to most audiences, but the English actor and martial artist is a longtime favorite among aficionados of straight-to-video action movies, so much so that his fans even started an online campaign to get him the role of Batman before Ben Affleck was cast as the Dark Knight.

While Adkins did ultimately end up auditioning for the Caped Crusader, he admitted that he never expected to be under serious consideration and was grateful to his fans for the free publicity. However, if Warner Bros. were looking to secure a replacement on short notice should Affleck give up the cowl, Adkins could be a solid choice.

The 40 year-old looks the part in a tuxedo and has the right understated charisma to convince as Bruce Wayne, while his martial arts prowess is a perfect fit for DC's resident expert in hand-to-hand combat. While there would be question marks over his dramatic range as an actor and lack of star power, he surely couldn't be worse than Val Kilmer or George Clooney, right?
