I definetly gotta hand my vote over to Joshua Jackson he really hasn't gotten a shot at any big movies since his leave with Dawson's Creek. Everyone thinks just because he was on a teen-drama he can't do anything else. I bet if ya gave him a shot he could do a good job. It would be different to see a fresh face on screen. Christian Bale; i'm not a big fan f his i thought he blew it in Laurel Canyon. Jake is alright, But my vote will remain with Mr. Jackson.

Shit.....nooo!!!

well....Christian Bale is not bad.....but...the others???? X__X

Yes my man christian has done it!!!

Christian Bale for sure!!!

He is a perfectionist and he would play an perfect Batman.

People have no idea what Jackson is capable of. I heard he actually has a shot at getting this part and will blow people away.

I'd definitely like to see Joshua Jackson as Batman. He's a witty and charming character. And I agree..Jake?

Dont count Joshua Jackson out, the guy can do dark. Too many people focuson his Dawson's Creek past. I cant actually see him in the role but I think it's unfair to attach the fluffy Dawson's Creek stigma to him. EIther way, I cant stand Jake Gyllenhall. I'd take any of the other over him.

Am I the only one who just doesn't like Jake Gyllenhall? In the very few films that I've seen him in he just hasn't done a thing for me. And as a loyal Batman fan (even a fan of the really bad Batman movies) I'd be crushed to have him in the role.

one more thing. FDL -- if you didn't see Jake in DONNIE DARKO! go now!

Christian Bale, yes.. but he won't do it. Did you see Laural Canyon?? SO GOOD! I think Jake would be second choice. beyond that.. f*ck the rest!

I hope thaey don't re-use the previous 4 installments' bat costume. I hated that rubber mask because Batman could never turn his head without turning his whole body. Made it look like he had a broomstick up his ass.

obviously christian bale is the only one here who is crazy enough to play batman- the guy that gets the part has to be a little unhinged...

I'm with Rick Moranis...

Cruz Bustamante in "Batman" 2004!!

"Every citizen of California enrolled in my 'Branches of Honor' program so families may receive a living tree memorial in honor of a relative who died in the Iraqi war."

I vote for Patrick Bateman...if he doesn't get it that Bale kid would be alright.

Christian Bale gets my vote for Batman strictly based on his American Psycho role.

dawson is the icky one, not pacey! as for this list of contenders, christian bale for sure! he's the manliest of the lot. besides, the others look like the sort that would wear trucker hats on their days off.

If they're going to cast a Batman: Year One-aged actor (gotta pick up that book now) they should go with that concept. If they want to do the Scarecrow, they need to find an adult Batman. If they try to have it both ways it's going to blow more chunks than a Goonie's girlfriend.

Yeah, who are all those other guys? I've never heard of them--I feel old.

I wrote to Christian Bale way back when he did Empire of the Sun and got an autographed b/w 8x10. It was thrilling! But as an adult he doesn't do it for me anymore.

I vote for Gothamist's Jake! Doesn't he have the whole Batman brooding/steely-eyed/youthful wisdom thing going on??

Eion Bailey's show was "Significant Others." It was awful. Really, really awful.

Bale would be my vote too. Joshua Jackson is fast becoming the Danny Bonaduce of his generation. He should be no where NEAR the list.

They shoulda kept it based on Batman: Year One.

The other thing they coulda done is adapt The Dark Knight Returns, though it doesn't really have the kind of mass-market appeal that I think WB is looking for in this franchise...
