1. Clint Eastwood
We never did specify how old an older Batman would be, did we? Name an actor who plays stoical, grizzled, principled but prepared to get his hands dirty and fuelled by utter rage than Clint, and I'll read your article. It's a massive shame that Eastwood is semi-retired and reaching an age where it becomes unkind to remind him of his date of birth, as the thought of Dirty Harry and William Munny leaking into the characterisation of Batman should be enough to get even the surliest fanboy excited. It's a shame they didn't come up with the concept to this film a good ten years ago.
