10 Actors Who Could Be The Batman We Deserve

It would be ironic if Agents of SHIELD's Brett Dalton was handed his big Hollywood break in the DC Extended Universe after making a name for himself in the world of Marvel TV, but he's more than ready for the step up wherever he should find it.

With his strong jawline and natural charm, Dalton is a good fit for both Bruce Wayne and Batman, and his four-year stint on Agents of SHIELD is basically an extended audition tape for the part.

He played Grant Ward on the show, a man harbouring dark secrets, and his ability to transition between light and dark would serve him well as the Gotham's bat vigilante, plus he holds major comic book cred now.

Last time they were casting Batman, Warner Bros went down the A-list route, but by snapping up Dalton they might end up unearthing Hollywood's next major action star, from right under Marvel's nose, no less.
