Tom Cruise Auditions For Batman

That’s the premise behind Youtube user Sam Macraoni’s video, which basically points out things like the fact that Tom Cruise is pretty damn short, possibly a little too full of himself, and might be incorporating a little bit too much of past personal issues into the role.
Tom Cruise is a great action star. I love all the Mission Impossible movies. But yeah, I’m not sure he’d be a very good fit for the role and might’ve gotten a worse and more prolonged negative reaction than Ben Affleck did.
