6. Batman- Ben Barnes
Known for his role as Prince Caspian in
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Barnes is a talented up and coming young actor who needs a big role to establish him in Hollywood. Reports have stated that Batman, will be a young hero who is in his sophomore year of crime fighting. Harrington, whos 31, would be a solid fit for the age range seemingly because he could pass for 25. Also, Ben fits in the role physically being 61. He portrays a fighting prince in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, so engaging in fight choreography wouldnt be foreign to him. Batman is a dark and appealing character. His psychology is multifaceted and intense. Batman is somewhat similar to Bens character Prince Caspian. Caspian is a vengeful prince seeking revenge. He struggles with his own youthful desire for retribution against his fathers killer. The character deals with a loss of innocence and a transformation. Batman gos through this as well. As a child Bruce Wayne loses all innocence and becomes a vengeful individual seeking retribution. Both characters have to learn to let go of their revenge at some point and become the heros theyre destined to be. Overall, Barnes is the right guy for the job. The similarities of his most known character and Batman are great and some that he can use. An unknown should be cast. Its worked out great for
Marvel with Thor. Moreover, Barnes is British. They seem to be a hot commodity in the superhero community with Christian Bale prominently portraying The Dark Knight for the last seven years and Henry Cavill taking on the Superman mantle. Barnes has the dark and brooding semblance of Batman, as seen with his role as Caspian, but the attractiveness of a young playboy. Hes a solid choice.
