Now to the heavy hitters. Ryan Gosling is one of the finest actors of our generation, but has yet to appear in a major blockbuster, which makes Batman the perfect chance for him grab an iconic role. Gosling has the quiet, brooding aspect of Bruce Wayne down to a tee, but he's proven through his partnership with Nicolas Winding Refn that he's perfectly capable of portraying a relentlessly brutal killing machine. Gosling also has the charisma that is necessary for the role, and so far he's shown himself to be an excellent judge of scripts, meaning if he did agree to take the role, the filmmakers were likely onto something special. Few would complain if Gosling took the role, as he bring an intensity to each character that few actors can match, making him an ideal fit for one of the most intense superheroes out there.
