NEWS: Warner eyeing actors in mid 40's for Batman

San Diego Comic Cons biggest announcement was arguably the introduction of Batman in the second Man of Steel movie. For me, this was a good move because the idea of a Justice League movie just seems a bit odd, as the characters in JLA will be particularly difficult to translate to screen (watch Green Lantern).

The first I asked myself was "Who the hell will play Batman?" Which I think is the question on all our tongues. Hardcore fans will be arguing over what Batman will be portrayed in the film, as throughout the comics, there are multiple series which range Batman in different suites, circumstances and age's.

So the rumour coming from Batman On Film is that Warner Bros are eyeing actors in they're mid 40's, which squashes the idea of Batman being played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. 

The phrase that has popped up along with this rumour is Batman will be a "grizzled veteran who has been on the job for several years" Seeing as Henry Cavill is newly in his 30's, this should give Snyder some good room for character dynamic between the two. It will also save time with in the first act of introducing Batman as a new hero on the block, but maybe he's an already present feature of the universe they have created in Man Of Steel.

I vote Idris Elba or Josh Brolin for the new Batman. But as with Cavill, a lesser known actor could really create something special in this new DC Universe.
