My geek dreams shift towards a Man of Steel meets The Dark Knight film instead of a full-blown Justice League movie. I’m even more convinced after reading Batman/Superman #1 in comic book shops now that a meeting of DC’s two biggest icons is the way to go.
Christian Bale has once again confirmed he will not play Batman again so who should play the Dark Knight in a team-up with Superman or Justice League movie? Christopher Nolan’s final Dark Knight film opened up the possibility of Joseph Gordon-Levitt becoming Gotham City’s new Dark Knight. I love JGL and I’d enjoy seeing a Nightwing movie so I’m going with a brand new actor in the role.
Here are my picks for the next Batman:

Ryan GoslingThe obvious, no-brainer choice. He can play slick and charming as Bruce (as seen in Ides of March, Crazy Stupid Love) and intense and violent (Drive, The Gangster Squad.) Gosling has the edge and almost sinister charm (like Sean Connery in his early 007 films) in every role. I’m in conflict with my myself – Gosling is my top pick for Marvel’s potential Daredevil reboot – may the best studio win. Fans will win with such a talented actor like Gosling in any superhero role.
Charlie HunnamThe Sons of Anarchy star’s star could explode this summer in Pacific Rim. The talented actor can play the conflicted but violent anti-hero with a menacing gruff voice as seen on Sons of Anarchy. If Pacific Rim is a hit for Warner Brothers they could see Hunnam as a leading man to bring new energy to the Dark Knight.
Richard Madden My wild card pick. Madden had the charisma and intensity to become King of the North and inspire a war on Game of Thrones. I’m still in angry mourning for Robb Stark!

The Two That Could Have Been:
Armie Hammer was picked by George Miller for his potential Justice League movie and I could definitely see the towering actor in the role it’s likely Hammer will ride again in a sequel to The Lone Ranger.
Michael Fassbender– I LOVE him as Magneto and would never want to go back in time and erase cinematic history but can’t you see Fassbender as Bruce Wayne?!
The One That Won’t Happen But…

Henry Cavill is soaring as Superman in Man of Steel and will fly again in sequels and a possible Justice League movie.
Imagine Cavill as James Bond or Edward Cullen?
Cavill’s road to Superman includes a list of roles in other huge film franchises that he lost. The star reveals to ABC News he lost out on playing James Bond in Casino Royale to Daniel Craig. He lost Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire and Edward Cullen in The Twilight Saga to Robert Pattinson. Craig has starred in 3 James Bond films and is contracted for 2 more.
It’s not quite a Justice League movie but it does have Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman and some other iconic characters from beyond the comic book genre! Batman does have the best line from the Warner Brothers official teaser trailer for The Lego Movie:
The Lego Movie is coming in 2014! You many have notice the voices of actors from The Dark Knight trilogy – Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman.
