Jamie Dornan has been my top pick for awhile. But the way they’ve been casting so far, I’m sure I’ll be happy with whoever they land with.
I could see that, but I personally still would want to see Dornan. I think he's perfect if we are starting with a Damien Robin and established Bat-Family.
That’s fair. And I like that pick too and wouldn’t be upset. They’re close in age too, so they’re both reasonable picks if that’s the age range they go for. But how long can we let the Irish dominate everything? It’s nepotism but for the Irish. And I’m mostly Irish! I’m joking if that isn’t obvious to everyone. I know it’s controversial because of his blow up, but if they do end up going closer to Clark’s age for Bruce, I wouldn’t be mad about Glen Powell for Bruce. But I also have no doubts with their casting. A kid from Philly is playing fucking Superman now. They have my trust. lol
I mean, I can see people thinking that since Damien is around. But Damien could be 10ish and Bruce early 30’s.
I could see them going with Tom Brittney. He was a finalist for Superman, with the two other finalists already being cast as Superman and Lex.
I still don’t like the idea of 2 concurrent live action Batman when none have really been established except for 1 movie. I suppose there’s no other way around it though. You need Batman for the DCU. They don’t want to use Pattinson’s Batman. Whatever I guess.
I think there's room for both. If people can handle multiple Spideys in one film they can handle multiple Bats in multiple films. I guess it makes sense to keep The Batman/Penguin as Elseworlds if it's not matching up with what Gunn is planning tonally/lore-wise. Titans/Doom Patrol didn't really cross over into the Arrow verse at all.
