Harrison Cheung, who is the author of Christian Bale: The Inside Story of the Darkest Batman had an exclusive interview with Comic Book Movie. Cheung shares his thoughts on how Bale was head to head with Jake Gyllenhaal for the role of Batman and who are potential good actors for the next Batman role:
“Yikes, whoever directs and stars next will have a tough act to follow. Jake Gyllenhaal, was up for Batman against Christian for
BATMAN BEGINS, and Jake actually scored second in a lot of Internet polling, but was considered to be too young. I think he’d make an interesting Bruce Wayne. I’ve also heard rumors about Channing Tatum but I don’t think he’d be good fit. The hottest buzz I heard the week I was in LA was Taylor Kitsch. He would be an inspired choice. I hope they go with a less known actor so that he can still have the opportunity to surprise.”
If you’ve heard from our previous podcast, some of the team members are not too thrilled of Channing Tatum to become the next Batman. It would be a stripper joke. As for Taylor Kitsch, I think he would have been decent for a younger Bruce but I’m sure that we don’t need another origin story.
