10 Actors Who Could Be The Batman We Deserve
1. Idris Elba
Idris Elba is an incredibly talented actor who Hollywood has so far failed to get the most out of. He's another star waiting for that defining big-screen break, and he's been linked with plenty of high-profile parts of late.
Those James Bond rumours seem to reemerge often and the actor has also been tipped for the role of Green Lantern in the DC Extended Universe. But there's a gritty edge to Elba that makes him a better fit for Batman.
He made a name for himself playing a tortured detective in Luther, a role that's helped him hone many of the skills required for Batman and Bruce Wayne. Elba also has experienced as a flawed hero in The Dark Tower and a strong track record in comic book adaptations as Heimdall in the Thor movies.
With his powerful build and equally powerful vocal chords, Elba could be the kind of imposing and non-traditional Batman that the DC Extended Universe needs right now, as well as the one the fans deserve.
