Gotta jump in on the last two:
Dan - Kutchner is the flavor of the month. Just because he was in a steaming pile doesn't make it any less of a pile. I enjoyed Dude, Where's My Car? to an extent but he's obviously getting a push for face-o-the-month, being with Demi Moore and the (M)TV series, Punk'd.
Jason, so what you're saying is it'd be logical to consider Steve Martin to play Jimi Hendrix in a biographical film?  |

As much as I love Tony Leung, I really want a big guy to play Batman. I've loved Frank Miller's image of Batman, big and brooding. Like others have said, the guy doesn't have any superpowers, it would be natural for him to be more physically imposing. From those pics on page 2, the John Doe guy fits the bill more than others mentioned in this thread.

Yup. He's getting the Vin Diesel push - don't worry about track record; if you only tell everyone that he's a huge star and the future king of Hollywood, then just maybe it'll come true 
Personally, Christian Bale would be my only choice for Batman. He looks exactly like Bruce Wayne, is an excellent actor, and he has the lean, muscular build that I've always seen superheroes like Batman having. |

Good grief, who's next? Wilmer "Fez" Valderrama as Robin?

Hey, consider everyone. Doesn't mean every idea would work.
Clearly, Hendrix's appearance and skin color would be a factor in the story and make Martin unsuitable. But for Batman - well, there's no reason in the twenty-first century that he has to be white. He's been drawn that way, but there's nothing in his character that requires it. If the best actor you can find for the role is someone out of Hong Kong, well, I'll take that over a completely immobile Michael Keaton.
Besides, I generally feel that remakes/adaptations should try to do something new, anyway.

I think bamtan's back ground pretty much does require he's white, unless someone can beliebe a non-white family has owned a controlling interest in a huge multinational technology company for a long time. IMHO, this just isn't plausbile. Most non-white success stories in this field are fairly recent.

it would do less damage to the character of bruce wayne and the dark knight if they cast the back of my sack in the role.

Hey, don't knock the back of your sack. I heard the back of your sack was really overlooked at Oscar time last year. The back of your sack can ACT, guys!

Batman/Bruce Wayne: The back of your sack

Well I don't know about you but to me this is shaping up to be one hell of a project!
Whenever the laws of any state are broken, a duly authorized organization swings into action. It may be the called the State Police, State Troopers, Militia, the Rangers, or the Highway Patrol THE CITIZENS AUXILIARY POLICE!!! These are the stories of the men whose training, skill, and courage, have enforced and preserved our state laws.

" Ashton Kutcher "
oh fucking kill me now please.
I never get why they put people in charge of property that they dont care about or understand.
With everything Marvel has been doing right lately and WB still doesnt learn,theyre still screwing around(Even Daredevil which has probally been the worst recent adaption is better than any of the Batman films).
As if seeing Keaton say "Im Batman" wasnt bad enough -I can already see it ..."Dude wheres my Batmobile?"
(In Simpsons Comicbook Guy voice) "Worst casting EVER"
I just cant see this happening
