‘Superman & Batman’ movie will follow ‘Man of Steel’

[USS Intrepid]

Urban gets my vote.

 

[Gojira]

So I just finished watching Dredd with my wife and now I'm thinking Karl Urban would make a pretty damn good Batman.

He has that mean and menacing look down pretty well.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Yeah, his american accent works fine.

"I'm the Goddamn Batman, not a bricklayer!"

 

[Guy Gardener]

That wasn't an American accent... That was DeForest Kelly.

 

[Greg Cox]

That wasn't an American accent... That was DeForest Kelly.

Again, check out his accent in RED where he plays an American CIA agent. Worked for me.

 

[Praetor]

Yeah, Karl does a good fake. I'm really liking that. He's a full 11 years older than Cavill (two older than Bale) but I don't think I care.

Karl FTW.

 

[Captaindemotion]

IIRC, Miller auditioned for Superman when Brett Ratner was involved and that led to him playing the lead in Prison Break, which Ratner exec-produced. But I don't really see him as Batman. Maybe Dominic Purcell, his PB, co-star, when younger.

Whoever plays Batman in this film needs to look like he could hold his own with Henry Cavill. Yes, obviously Batman can never match Supes for physical strength but if you have a small, scrawny Batman standing beside Cavill's imposing hunk, the disparity is going to be so glaring.

So you're saying the D J Qualls rumor is false?

Nah, he's gonna be Ben Grimm in the Fantastic Four reboot.

 

[Set Harth]

Yeah, Karl does a good fake.

We found that out when he said Cumberbatch was playing Gary Mitchell.

 

[Nerys Myk]

That wasn't an American accent... That was DeForest Kelly.

DeForest Kelly is Batman?

 

[Skywalker]

That wasn't an American accent... That was DeForest Kelly.

DeForest Kelly is Batman?

Dammit, Nerys Myk, he's a doctor, not the goddamn Batman!

 

[Nerys Myk]

Sure, that's what he wanted us to think. But have you ever seen Kelly and the Batman in a room at the same time? Well, have you?

 

[Thestral]

So... Karl Urban is Nightwing?

 

[JD]

Yeah, Karl does a good fake. I'm really liking that. He's a full 11 years older than Cavill (two older than Bale) but I don't think I care.

Karl FTW.

Him being that much older could be a point in Urban's favor if the rumors about them wanting an older Batman are true.

 

[AvBaur]

^ Having a leading role in a network tv show is going to be a point against him, though. If the show's a success, he won't have time, and if the show's a failure, he'll be seen as less "bankable." (not that he's particularly bankable now)

 

[TheSeeker]

I forgot about that. I'm looking forward to seeing his new show.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

So... Nolan likes Wes Bentley??

 

[Nerys Myk]

Not seeing a two question mark problem. Good looking guy in the picture, so he should work as Bruce Wayne.

 

[Professor Zoom]

So... Nolan likes Wes Bentley??

Um. It's from a wordpress blog that's quoting "internet sources."

Why are you taking this report seriously?

 

[sojourner]

SHOCK ....and AWE.

SHOCK ....and AWE.

I am filled with it.

 

[Lt. Uhura-Brown]

Superman & Batman?

What on Earth would Batman have to do in this film other than be Superman's sidekick?

I wonder if Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne have ever met?
