He is muscular, charming, and his the "look" of a billionaire playboy whom has gone through tragedy...

I seriously hope WB would consider him as the Cape Crusader in coming JLA film.

He could never be Bruce Wayne. He fits the bill of Oliver Queen perfectly. Jon Hammis more like Bruce Wayne.

What you mean by " he could never be Batman? ". Its becuz CW makes him Ollie 1st then it gives audience the 1st impression...well, what if CW makes him Batman at 1st, would you think the other way around?

Plus Jon Hamm is 41, and Amell is 31...and he's ripped...if WB wants to make Hamm Batman...They need to spend extra time to train him...

He's been in 3 episodes of a CW Green Arrow show. Isn't it a little early to make a call like this?

@Crash_Recovery: Prepare it earlier, they can still continue the TV series, and let Amell be GA...

but in JLA film, they can make him the Batman.

Sure, they could make you Batman.

But he's very new and untested. A studio doesn't want a "no name" to play Batman. They took that risk with Brandon Routh in Superman Returns, and while I have no issues with his performance, the film didn't do as well as they'd hoped. They want a name actor for this part.

It would be extremely confusing to fans to make him Batman and Green Arrow. Also, I'm not sure about his acting ability. I have been impressed by his physicality in Arrow though.

Didn't you already make this thread before?

Well, Robert Downey Jr. did a marvelous job playing Tony Stark...We all remember now. But before he take on this role, Downey was arrested numerous times on drug-related charges and went several times through drug treatment programs. Favreau himself stated that Robert is not his 1st choice, becuz due to...you know. But eventually Downey gets the role becuz Favreau thinks he fits into the character.

So, reputation is really not the biggest problem, Amell still have a chance.

A fansboy don't simply get distracted.

Robert Downey Jr. was also an Oscar and Golden Globe nominee before he played Iron Man.

@Crash_Recovery: But he has been through drug abuse...that is the PR nightmare

Iron Man wasn't a property that anyone (in the public) cared about.

Prior to the movie with RDJ the public at large knew little, if anything, about the character, and had no personal investment.

Batman at this very moment, is hugely iconic and is recognizable across the world. Studios want to associate their big properties with big names that have made lots of money.

Iron Man and Thor were unproven and unknown to the public, so they made riskier choices than will be made with casting of Batman. I don't mean to argue and he may very-well be a great actor for the job: but he won't get it.

@Crash_Recovery: I think Amell has earned some reputation when he is doing 'Arrow'...as long as he has been involves in Superheroes TV programs.

Hamm as batman would be hilarious.

Eh. The only thing he's really got going for him is his muscles. He's not the best actor and he doesn't have much "character" to his appearance aside for "Hot, muscular guy".

If he were actually cast as Batman I'd be disappointed.

@SupBatz: Okay. then who would be your cast, if you get to choose...Don't tell me it's Hamm or fassbender...they already got too many vote.

@GodDamnIronMan: Definitely not Hamm. And I don't think I'd choose Fassbender either (though I'm not 100% opposed to the idea).

But I don't really have anybody in particular who I would choose. It would probably never happen but I'd rather the studio go for a relatively unknown actor to play Batman. As long as the guy can come off as very intelligent and somewhat looks the part I'd be ok with it.

So you mean to choose a total new face to act the role? but it seems like @Crash_Recovery: will disagree with you.He wants a well-known actor to pull this off.

Crash_Recovery is moreso arguing that the studio will almost definitely choose a well known actor because that will be likely to attract a greater audience and because Batman, being a well know and hyped up character, will likely need a well known and hyped up actor to portray him.

I agree with him - it's amost definite that a more well known actor will be chosen.

That being said, I think a breakout star would be a better choice but I doubt it'll actually happen. As a side note, being that Justice League is slated for release in 2015, I imagine we'll start hearing casting rumors very soon.

He isnt the best actor. just because he looks like the charecter doesnt mean he could play the charecter well

I am the only one that belive Green Arrow act to much like Batman in this show?

Agreed. They're trying far too hard to make Ollie badass.

I always expect Green Arrow to break into a Bale growl when interrogating with a criminal.

That's the problem with playing Batman. You have to be great at acting and incredibly ripped. I doubt they'll get both, so I would rather have good acting. I think it's critical to have good acting when Batman (or Green Arrow) is pretending to be the playboy persona. Stephen Amell is unconvincing. Half of the time, Ollie is acting serious and concerned, the other half uncaring and pretentious.

I liked Bale's acting for Bruce much better. The dinner scene in Batman Begins? I really felt the effect of Bruce's impoliteness.

@DeathpooltheT1000 said:

He is Batman on this show. The show is perfectly fine, but it's not Oliver Queen. It's Bruce Wayne as Green Arrow. Oliver Queen is far more Tony Stark than he is Bruce Wayne. Like I said, it's fine, I'm enjoying the show, but I'm not oblivious to a serious lack of Oliver Queen on this show. As for who should play the new Batman, my vote is Matt Bomer with Kevin Conroy providing the in-cowl voice via a voice changer.

I like him better as Oliver Queen

Well, Amell can be the breakout star...he can definitely do alot of action stuff, and he looked very depressed also , like Batman... I know what you said that he maybe not as giod as Hamm or Fassbender in acting skills, but honestly , in a film like JLA which will involves that much casts and actuon scenes... Acting skills is not the priority , Film set and storyline is more important. Would you want to seat at theatre for 2 and a half hours just to watch Bruce Wayne 's charater development? ( it's like Batman Trilogy all over again)...

@mpierce2690: Matt Bomer looks great...but not sure how is his acting skills.

@GodDamnIronMan said:

@mpierce2690: Matt Bomer looks great...but not sure how is his acting skills.

He's pretty good, I loved him on Chuck and now on White Collar. I've yet to see him in anything that would make me think he didn't have the chops for the role. The one thing that might hurt him, is he is that he's only like 5'11" and of course Batman is a bit taller. But he was set to play Superman for Brett Ratner, so I guess it can't be that big of a deal.

@mpierce2690: Well, I think Height is not the main concern ...he can always wear a lift in the movie( like all actors does )

you just put him as another strong candidates to take the role.Thanks man.

Height isn't a huge issue for me either. One thing I like about him is that he shows a keen detective skill on White Collar, and that is the most important thing going forward for Batman because we need a World's Greatest Detective focus going forward. The best Batman stories are told as detective stories. But yeah, no problem, glad to help.

for the batman argument, I would say Christian Bale wasnt a big actor, he was an up and coming actor. I think with Batman, they prefer to cast somewhere in the middle

Ya. But I prefer Batman not to show too much of his detective skills in JLA movie, He can just show it in his own reboot series.

You're not alone :)

@GodDamnIronMan: Completely true, in the Justice League movie acting really won't matter. In that case I'll be fine with someone like Stephen Amell. But if they do a Batman reboot afterwards, I'd like some top notch acting.

@SupBatz: Thank you, you understood my argument perfectly.
