Now that we know the Man of Steel will meet The Dark Knight on the big screen in 2015 I thought it was time to revise and re-share who should be the next actor to play Batman.

Director Zach Snyder said they’re not making the classic graphic novel into a movie “but it will help us tell you something.”
