Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko), Christian Bale (Captain Corelli's Mandolin), Joshua Jackson (Dawson's Creek), Cillian Murphy (28 Days Later), Henry Cavill (I Capture the Castle), Eion Bailey (The Scoundrel's Wife), Ashton Kutcher, and Guy Pearce (Memento) have all been rumored to be the next Batman. Discuss.

What's he been in???

Demi Moore?

only the best movie of our generation. and a great tv show of another.

As long as it's not Ashton Kutcher, I'll be fine. Then again, as long as Joel Shumacher is nowhere near it, I'll be fine.

I voted for Bailey... Batman has always been my superhero. They better not screw this one up after the last tragedies in that franchise. They need to go with a relatively unknown, and I want to see Bats going BSL (that's bat-shit-looney) on some punk ass bitches. They need to get back to what he truly is. A billionaire psychopath that takes the law into his own hands.

hillarious

It's a toss up between Christian Bale and Guy Pearce for me, but I went with the former because I think I like him a little more.

my vote is for tom hanks.

I couldn't agree more. The Michael Keaton Batman films were really good. The first one kicked total ass, and the second one was pretty good too. I voted for the guy from 28 Days Later.

And to what movie are you referring?

ahem. i cant believe you dont know this.


dude, wheres my car?, of course.

Of course.

I'm with Sadie, but I'm swinging towards Guy Pearce. I can't see Christian Bale as a non-psychopath. I'm sorry to typecast, but he was so fucking convincing.

You left off Jason Biggs. The most memorable part of the movie would be when he bakes a pie in the bat cave.

oh no, she found my bat porn!

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

I vote for Jason Lee because... well... I think he should be in every movie.

Yes....Jason Lee

good choice

Jason Lee only if Shannon Doherty is his love interest.

How about Rachel instead of SD?!

Isn't Jason Lee dead?

Oh wait, that was Brandon Lee. Nevermind.

Wrong Jason Lee.

This reminds me of a great new thread!!!!

This is a most hillarious thread......Great one liners throughout.

And the winner is...Christian Bale.

It's on this page somewheres...

Could have been worse. I hope he keeps the beard...

Now that would be funny... "Batman!!!! Wait a second here... is that you Bruce? No, No, I think it is... That little speckle of gray... Yes it is you!!!"

Hmm....this new Batman film may actually have some potential since Christian Bale (my choice) will be Batman, and Christopher Nolan is directing...interesting.

From AintItCool.com:

John Malkovich and Dennis Quaid were apparently seen meeting with director Chris Nolan on the set of Batman: Intimidation Game.

Malkovich may play villain Ru Al Ghul while Quaid may play Commissioner Jim Gordon.

Awesome!! Who the hell is Ru Al Ghul?

He is a villian who keeps himself immortal through sleeping in a Lazarus pit...or something. That's the knowledge I have of him through the cartoon and Jeph Loeb's current run on "Batman." From what I've read, he's a pretty tough cookie and a more intellectual than brutish character...so that's a plus.

And I'm pretty sure Batman boned his daughter.

Michael Caine has agreed to play Alfred the Butler in the upcoming new Batman movie to be directed by Christopher Nolan. Christian Bale will play Batman himself.

The rumored title for the film is Intimidation Game.

Quite good. I voted Christian Bale. I want Batman to be like the dude in "American Psycho" (possibly the best worst movie ever made).

Ah that's so cool! So so so so so cool!

Has the actor that played Alfred in the previous 4 Bat-films passed away?

Yes, I'm pretty sure he did. If I'm not mistaken, it was a car accident or something, not old age. But I might be thinking of someone from the Bond films, instead.

Q from the Bond films died in a car crash... I think the actor that plays Alfred is still alive, I just think this is a Batman from his younger days of crime-fighting...

Here's an update...

Batman Begins starts filming

I like how, at the end of the article, George Clooney is blamed for the demise of the recent Batman movie.

Edit: Cillian Murphy is playing a doctor in Batman: Intimidation.

*cough*typecast*cough*

All I can say is, "Where the fuck is Michael Keaton?" Just curious.

"I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance...."

How amazing is this cast? Michael Caine? Gary Oldman? Morgan Freeman? Liam Neeson? Ken Watanbe? Katie Holmes *coughcarlcough*? They could just read the script from the 1960s Bat-flick and this would still mop the flizoor with Batman & Robin.

Agreed. Unbelievable cast. Christopher Nolan is going to redefine everything we expect in a Batman movie. Seriously, this could even surpass *gasp* the first one. Batman is fucking BACK!
