Gotham Series Finale: 5 Actors Who Could Play Batman

5. David Mazouz

The first and foremost name that comes to mind is David Mazouz who has played Bruce Wayne from child to a heroic young man over the course of four seasons. He understands the character very well, but at 17 years old he may just be too young to pull of being Batman.

Even his proto-Batman mask worn last season couldn't hide his innate youth. As much as fans might want to root for the idea of him fulfilling his role, the reality of him in a batsuit would push the audience's suspension of disbelief to its very limits - so why compound that problem by expecting him to be 10 years older?

The 10 year time jump is likely the producer's respectful way to work around the fact that their lead is aged to be Robin, not Batman. However, it's just as true that Mazouz has done stellar work in the role, and should not be set up to fail. If he were to play Batman in the future, the show would avoid the risk of the costume backfiring, while not being a slight against the actor.
