The Batman: 6 Actors Who Could Play “Year One” Bruce Wayne

3. Aaron-Taylor Johnson

Avengers Age Of Ultron Quicksilver
Marvel Studios

Although he’s already appeared in two comic book movies, there’s more to come from Aaron-Taylor Johnson in the medium.

His roles in Kick-Ass and Avengers: Age of Ultron demonstrate he has the chops (and the physicality) to be a superhero, which should only be even better with an extra few years of experience under him since his MCU appearance, so there's no doubt he could fill out the suit.

He can be soft-spoken and dashing, but then you see a different side to him in Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals, where not only does he steal the show from Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal, but shows a much more unhinged side to him - the kind of danger and intensity that he’d be able to translate to the Caped Crusader.
