    Do you guys think they're going for someone younger or older? do you think it doesn't matter as long as he can pull off the role,But I mean really wasn't Bruce around 30-40 when he entered the JL,and Superman/Batmanare pretty much the pre-lude to Justice League

    I think he should be the same age, or maybe a little older than Clark. That way, he could have been operating as Batman for a couple of years before the events of the new movie, but more as an urban legend.

    So many possible choices.

    You can go the British route since Supes (and Bale) is already a Limey...

    Well unfortunately they made superman kinda dull in the the new one (not a laugh in it), and batman is a stoic character, ugh they will need a bad guy with some charisma

    They'll probably cast in roughly the 30-40 age range, if that's what you're asking. Same basic range as Marvel is casting for their actors.

    @the_stegman:

    the only problem with Armie is almost every movie he is in fails which is sad because he is a great actor, Maybe Batman would be a role that could work for him. The loan ranger did not do as well as the studio thought it would, and because of his track record warner might be hisitant on casting him, But i feel he could do a good job.

    I don't think there is an ideal actor, or we would all have the same one in mind. I hope with the new movie they use a stunt double for action scenes, because then they can hire a good actor for the talking and stuff.

    I'd prefer an older guy who looks grizzled and seasoned rather than a young pretty boy. My current picks are either Tom Jane or Jon Hamm.

    @flameboy298: Really? Cause actually I like him too. I made my statement because I saw a thread a few months ago where everyone was divided between a martial arts actor (can't remember his name) and some guys like Ryan Gosling.

    @gotwillpower: Yeah there isn't an ideal actor but its more like a popular choice, the guy majority thinks can pull of a character to certain extents.
