Hold on a sec. Is this movie still happening? Last I had heard it was turned off. Now is back on again? Lets just say its floating in limbo. The latest news that has been spit out onto the internet is that Batman has been cast and it’s not Christian Bale. We’ve know for some time Bale would be in it, but I don’t know about this new guy.
The guys name is Armie Hammer. Like the baking soda? The guy is a unknown actor that was handpicked by George Miller to play Bruce Wayne in Justice League. Here is what he has to say to e-online regarding the film:
“I would spend hours training with actual guns to prepare me for this stuff,” Hammer said. “It was very intense. Our workout regimens were so rigorous that most of us would vomit.”
He added, “We weren’t trying to get ourselves aesthetically good looking. We were trying to get ready for the demands of shooting.”
He’s already been fitted for the superhero costume, which he says features functioning equipment, including trademark Batman weapons like spring-loaded titanium Bat-erangs. “I was looking down, and I was thinking, This is the best,” Hammer said of the first time he put on the entire ensemble. “Then I stood up, and they turned me around, and I faced a mirror-there was Batman. But then it hit me like a ton of bricks-it’s not just Batman, it’s me!”
Of course it’s you! Who else would be in the costume that you are wearing? Obviously not the brightest tool in the shed. It’s interesting they went with an unknown actor. I wonder how the fans will react. The more unknown actors in the film, the less marketable the movie becomes. It will be interesting to see if and when this version of the justice league movie will even get made. Your Thoughts?
Personally, I find Christian Bale’s portrayal of Bats a tad bit overrated. And the way he enunciates when he’s in costume is kinda cloying. Secondly, Brandon Routh was a snooze in the red cape. Clark Kent he did well, I’ll give him that. But a JLA film is going to be more about the costumed avengers than their alter-egos. And speaking of egos, the characters being featured in this film are iconic. Putting big name Hollywood actors in the roles would seriously detract from the characters themselves. I want to see a JLA film to see the heroes and NOT the actors AS the heroes. Christopher Reeve and Lynda Carter each pulled it off as Superman and Wonder Woman, respectively, because they were unknowns who made you believe that a man could fly and woman could kick any man’s ass. My big concern is not the casting but more so the script. If I see one more portrayal of Lex Luthor I’ll spit Kryptonite! And I know that folks are saying how Marvel’s starting their Avengers franchise by introducing their heroes in their own films first, but X-Men, a Marvel property, did not do that. Case and point, there’s a Wolverine origins film in the can and rumor of a Magneto origin film as well.
what the fuck i want christian Bale as batman NOT THAT GUY!
But X-men characters dont really have a storyline specifically for themselves the only on that actualll has a story for himself is Wolverine… the avengers on the other hand had stories of there own and they were brought together, not created together like the X-men were. The same kinda goes with the justice league characters.
