10 Actors Who Could Be The Batman We Deserve
5. Michael Fassbender
Poaching Magneto from Fox would be a ballsy move on Warner's part - especially considering Marvel's parent company Disney is about to buy its movie assets - but if the studio was to pull off this coup, they'd land a fantastic Batman in Michael Fassbender.
Reports suggest his days with the X-Men franchise will come to an end this year with Dark Phoenix, so it might just be the right time for Warner and DC to pounce.
Whether he's performing the majority of his own stunts in Assassin's Creed or delving into Erik Lehnsherr's troubled past, Fassbender has the range, physicality, intensity and acting chops to nail the dual role of Bruce Wayne and Batman.
He may not be a dead ringer for your traditional Bruce Wayne, but hiring Fassbender in the role would be the kind of outside-the-box thinking the DCEU needs, comparable to the inspired casting of Daniel Craig as James Bond.
