The Batman: Every Rumoured Affleck Replacement Ranked

Rumour Source: Graham Bensinger's In Depth

Jon Hamm's name has been linked to Batman films ever since fans started to realise that he basically has the perfect face for Bruce Wayne and how fitting his Don Draper charisma would be for that "disguise."

The latest on that front is that Hamm would be interested in the role if it came to him, which was naturally spun out to an actual rumour that he might be under consideration. But then he has been linked to the role in the past - some rumours said he was actively "pursuing" the part - and you know what they say about no smoke without Batman. Or something.

He's linked constantly because he's great and if Matt Reeves was looking for something like a Batman Beyond adaptation, he'd be absolutely perfect. But all signs are pointing towards a younger Dark Knight, so it's probably unlikely. Unfortunately.
