for this list we’re looking at the top
10 actors who could portray The Dark
Knight
if those rumors about Ben Affleck bowing
out of the role in the near future
proved to be true just in to know why
you always do I know everything has a
motive sometimes things just happen –
everything has a reason there are
physical laws I mean how did we get here
number 10 Luke Evans there are more than
a couple similarities between Dracula
and the Caped Crusader and we’re not
just talking about their mutual affinity
for capes both are dark brooding
creatures of the night tortured by their
past and ready to spring from the
shadows at any moment before returning
to their swanky digs to sleep the day
away that’s why we think that the
Dracula untold star might be a good fit
for Gotham’s favorite crime fighter the
wild Schachter also has experience
behind the wheel of some fancy cars and
his turn as gaston in the live-action
Beauty and the Beast isn’t too far
removed from the cocky affectations of
Bruce Wayne just to the Beast number 9
justin theroux do we address man you’re
an international assassin
are you serious you may recognize this
lantern-jawed leading man from his
starring role in HBO’s the leftovers or
from small roles in everything from
American Psycho to David Lynch’s
Mulholland Drive you’d be hard-pressed
to find an actor who looks more like a
comic book illustration come to life
with his granite chin and hairline
sharper than the edge of a Batarang ad
in the action chops he showed off in
Charlie’s Angels full throttle and you
have a pretty decent back candidate on
your hands he’s also got David Lynch’s
phone number and we can’t be the only
ones who are curious to see a Lynch
style Batman movie oh we are oh okay
well never mind is that something you
might agree with sure number eight Josh
Brolin the actor is no stranger to comic
book roles with outings both as the
time-traveling mutant cable and the
Marvel Big Bad Thanos on the horizon and
also Jonah Hex but we don’t talk about
that one with an impressive stature a
commanding baritone and the acting
skills to pull off virtually any role
you throw at him he’s a great choice to
Don the cape and Cal there’s a reason
he’s dipped a foot in almost every comic
book franchise currently in theaters few
actors can play a convincing nemesis for
everyone from the Merc with a mouth to
Earth’s Mightiest Heroes as long as do
something one considers from balance
[Music]
but this does put a smile on my affairs
number seven richard armitage
[Music]
we would know survive in the wild you
probably remember seeing him first as
Thorin Oakenshield in Peter Jackson’s
The Hobbit trilogy but this English
actor has been around longer than you
might expect with a career that spans TV
and film he’s got enough experience to
pull off a variety of roles a turn as
The Dark Knight wouldn’t even be his
first foray into comic book movies in
Captain America the First Avenger he
portrayed the Hydra assassin responsible
for the death of Abraham Erskine the
scientist who created caps Super Soldier
Serum
he’s also recently lent his gravelly
voice to the stoic demon slayer Trevor
Belmont and Netflix’s epic Castlevania
series oh my okay
I’m leaving now number 6 Jake Gyllenhaal
Rick Marshall is the zodiac I need a
sample of his handwriting to confirm it
can you help me or not
it might be harder for us to see the
former Donnie Darko stars stepping into
the boots of a character like Batman but
hear us out a dedicated actor with a
nuanced grasp of his craft the
California native has shown his ability
to play obsessives in films like
Nightcrawler and zodiac as well as some
serious physical capabilities when he
portrayed boxer Billy hope in Antoine
Fuqua southpaw for a tortured character
like Batman who also happens to be built
like a brick house we can easily see
this talented thespian doing a fantastic
job in the role especially if he starts
practicing his Batman voice number 5
armie hammer obviously I was briefed
about you corrupt criminal backgrounds
this Los Angeles born actor has come a
long way since appearing in a double
role as identical twins in the social
network he since appeared in a number of
action driven roles from the shootout
thriller free fire to a memorable turn
in the Man From UNCLE
it’s that last one that makes us think
he’d be a great Batman as the driven
humorless KGB agent he portrayed in the
film was just a cape and tides away from
already being a superhero himself and so
what if he’s blond dive at sandy main
jet black and you’ve got a prime
contender for the next cinematic Batman
as far as he is concerned I am and for
the purpose of the mission
I am so like I said it’s not happening
number four
Aegis Elba what do you think since his
career making performances stringer Bell
in HBO’s the wire this London born actor
has been making some serious waves
especially after landing a recurring
role in Marvel’s Thor series that
further rocketed his star skywards in
addition to his work as a blockbuster
lead
he’s also appeared in gritty
like Netflix’s beasts of no nation and
the ongoing cop drama Luthor with an
excellent on-screen presence impressive
physique and charm despair he’d be a
great fit for the Caped Crusader he’s
more than capable of pulling off a roll
like Batman you do not just makes me
Alice Mullins next project number three
Michael Fassbender was so much more to
you than you know not just pain and
anger it’s good too I felt it when
you’ve played everyone from Macbeth to
magneto Batman is child’s play rising to
fame with roles in 300 inglorious
basterds and of course his turn as the
master of magnetism in the x-men
franchise this actor has arranged like
few other actors working today he’s
played Psychopaths robots detectives and
more so it’s hardly a stretch to imagine
him suiting up as Batman we can easily
see him bringing new levels of depth and
pathos to the Dark Knight making for a
more nuanced and layered portrayal of
the character than we’ve seen in a long
while if nothing else we know he looks
good in a cape got the gist I think so
sir Paris want to zoom number two Karl
Urban it’s all a depend you need a lot
of qualities to play Batman and your
ability to scowl is one of them if
nothing else this New Zealand actors
turn in 2012’s Dredd proves he can scowl
with the best of them sporting a resume
that includes the Lord of the Rings Star
Trek and most recently Thor Ragnarok
this actor is no stranger to massive
franchises but his commitment and
versatility makes him a good fit for
almost any project we can definitely see
him taking over the role and bringing
that same intensity and raspy voice to
Batman that he used to be an amazing
Judge Dredd ready
yeah
yeah ready before we reveal our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions
and realize this is what you had in the
works for a very long time number one
jon hamm what you call love was invented
by guys like me to sell nylons the star
of AMC’s Mad Men could honestly play
either Superman or Batman if you needed
to combining a face that looks like it
was carved out of granite with a kind of
deep authoritative baritone that could
easily be heard lecturing her criminal
in the error of their ways the actor has
never ventured into comic-book boobie
territory and despite small roles in
movies like sucker punch
and The Day the Earth Stood Still he’s
kept his distance from blockbuster
sci-fi or fantasy but if he ever decides
to change that we’d love to see him as
the next Dark Knight it’s nice to see
you I’m just here to show you the
continuity of our service do you agree
