The Batman: 10 Actors Who Could Play The Joker For Matt Reeves
3. Ben Barnes
Ben Barnes isn't as well-known as some of the other actors on this list, but that shouldn't mean you don't take him seriously. His big break came in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, while he'd later impress on the small screen in the likes of Westworld and The Punisher.
In the latter (one of Marvel's TV shows on Netflix), he played Jigsaw, and while season two failed to do the character justice, it was hard to fault what Barnes brought to the table.
As the character, he displayed an impressive combination of rage, madness, and a purely sadistic nature which would lend itself well to The Batman. The fact he isn't a huge star with a tonne of baggage would be beneficial too, because look at how fans underestimated the late Heath Ledger before he later blew everyone away in The Dark Knight!
As silly as it might sound, the fact he's so good looking is also a potentially interesting way to shake things up with The Joker. Why not give this version an equal amount of charm and insanity?
