Batman Casting Rumors Devolve

I believe this is roughly the fifth or sixth casting rumor for the upcoming Man of Steel  sequel. At first Warner Brothers was looking for a younger Bruce Wayne, which launched rumors of Teen Wolf   star Tyler Hoechlin as the lead, but just when the nerd-world erupted, the rumors changed. WB switched paces and was rumored to say they wanted an older Bruce Wayne, so that launched theories of Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, and Michael Fassbender as Mr. Wayne. Batman vs. Superman (Or whatever the film will be titled) isn't due out until 2015, so obviously there will be countless rumors and theories as to who will play what part in the epic sequel, but of course we here at Geek Tyrant keep you up to date on all the rumors and theories running loose in the Geek-verse! The newest rumor for the movie is that Orlando Bloom is up for the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. Apparently an "anonymous source from within WB" told The Daily Express that Bloom was "top choice" to portray Bruce Wayne.

Now personally, I like Orlando Bloom as an actor, but being the tremendous Batman fan that I am, i do not want to see him play my favorite character. I have my reasons of course, the main one being I want the next on-screen Bruce Wayne to at least match the character I know and love from the comics,  like seriously Warner Brothers, is it so hard to cast an actor with BLACK HAIR... Well that's my rant for today! What do you guys think as far as Orlando Bloom being Batman? Would you like to see him play the part? Or do you agree with me that he's not such a great fit? Whatever your choice may be, I know we're all excited for the 2015 release of the sequel to Man of Steel   , so stay tuned here for all the latest news, theories, and gossip!
