5 Actors Who Would Make An Incredible Older Batman
3. Josh Brolin

Probably the actor on this list with the best form for the part. Brolin has already done DC well in Jonah Hex, he's done grizzled fantastically as a younger version of Tommy Lee Jones' character in Men In Black 3 and he will be playing borderline psychopath in the forthcoming Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. Brolin is an interesting actor, in that he carries the sheer force and magnetism of a traditional leading man, but tends to immerse himself in character actor roles, or attempts to blend into the shadows of an ensemble cast. He does 'brooding' almost as a default setting, and I can imagine he would have been absolutely believable in the Bruce Wayne aspect of the role. The Supes VS Bats producers must have had similar thoughts-Brolin was allegedly one of the leading contenders for the role before the casting of Ben Affleck.
