JLA's Batman Cast?

By Josh Tyler: 2007-11-17 13:37:39
JLA's Batman Cast? Early this morning we were the first place to bring you the news that unknown Scott Porter has been cast in JLA as Superman. So far, fan reaction has been almost universally bad. The term “cratered” has been used more than once to describe JLA in our comments section. I doubt you guys are going to like this any better.

Batman-On-Film is reporting that a guy named Armie Hammer has been hired to play Batman in the JLA movie. Armie Hammer is a 20-year-old actor from California. His IMDB filmography is pretty thin. He had a bit role in Flicka, and did an episode of Veronica Mars. He’s a nobody. And a young nobody to boot.

Can a guy this young actually play Batman? Or are we getting some sort of Batman Beyond, teenage Batman? The weird thing is that the actor we told you will be playing Superman is nearly 30. He’s age appropriate. So where does that leave Bats? Strange.

One thing seems certain in all of this: Warner Brothers is casting a bunch of bargain-bin, young, no-name actors for JLA. So far, Adam Brody and Common are the biggest names attached to this project. Who? Exactly. Brody is rumored to be playing Flash and Common may be Green Lantern. WB is casting this on the cheap. They’d better be using the money they’ve saved on special effects.

    DC comics always switches their cast around for their characters, always messing with their story lines. The 2 new batmans are the only good movies i've seen come out of this whole franchise. The marvel movies at least stick to the scipt along the comic story line, even in the animated series put out every year. From the looks of it, the 'Avengers' movie is going to sky rocket past this sorry looking cast. If you mess with the characters this much, I for one will not give my hard earned money to go see crap. Big up to Marvel comics, 10 thumbs down to DC comics.

    Give the kid a chance. I saw him in a guest spot on "Desperate Housewives" (Nov. 25th episode) and was impressed.

    He is about 6'5'' and has a smooth, deep voice reminiscent of Alan Rickman's (without the Brit accent of course). He did a fine job with the small role, and although I realize that may not translate well onto the big screen, I do think he is someone to watch. He definitely had a presence.

    After all, Christopher Reeve was virtually unknown when cast as Superman.

    Wow. This rumor is almost as bad as soft-faced Porter for Superman.

    Almost.

    It's almost as bad as 21yr old, beach-blond Palmer for Talia.

    Who the hell is casting this movie?
