5 actors who could replace Ben Affleck as Batman in the DC Universe

2. Aaron Taylor-Johnson

Alright, folks, it’s time to talk about Aaron Taylor-Johnson. For those of you who don’t know, Taylor-Johnson is a talented actor who has been making waves in Hollywood for years. You may recognize him from his role as Quicksilver in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or from his turn as Kick-Ass in the eponymous movie franchise. But we think that he would be perfect for the role of Batman in the DC Universe.

First of all, let’s talk about Taylor-Johnson’s physicality. He’s got the chiseled jawline and imposing stature that we associate with Batman – he’s tall, broad-shouldered, and ripped. Plus, he’s already shown that he can handle action sequences with ease, thanks to his work in movies like Godzilla and Avengers: Age of Ultron.

But what makes us think that Taylor-Johnson would be perfect for the role of Batman is his range as an actor. He’s shown that he can play both the hero and the villain – in Nocturnal Animals, he played a menacing sociopath, while in Anna Karenina, he played a sympathetic romantic lead. He’s got the emotional depth and intensity to handle the complexity of the character.

Of course, we don’t know if Taylor-Johnson is even interested in playing the role of Batman, let alone if DC Studios would consider him. But we can dream, can’t we? We think that he would be the perfect fit for a more serious and gritty take on the character, one that explores the darker corners of Gotham City and delves into the psychological toll that being Batman takes on Bruce Wayne.
