Nicholas Hoult as Batman

Robert Pattinson would make sense, but he’s not part of the DCU. Enter Nicholas Hoult who would be the perfect candidate to play the Caped Crusader.

Hoult is no stranger to the big screen, having appeared in a variety of films throughout his career. One of the most important aspects of any Batman actor is their ability to embody both the imposing nature of the Dark Knight and the charming persona of Bruce Wayne. And Hoult has the perfect blend of both. Standing at 6’3, he has the physical stature to be an intimidating presence on screen. But he also has a natural charm and wit that would make him a great fit for Bruce Wayne.

But Hoult’s abilities as an actor go beyond just his looks and charisma. In movies like Warm Bodies and Tolkien, he’s shown his range as an actor, playing both dramatic and comedic roles with ease. And in the X-Men franchise, he’s proven that he can handle action-packed scenes with precision and intensity.

So, why not cast Hoult as the next Batman? He has the acting ability, the looks, and the imposing nature to make a believable Dark Knight. And with his charm and wit, he can easily transition between the two personas of Bruce Wayne and Batman.

In the end, the success of any Batman film relies heavily on the actor chosen to play the titular character. And if Nicholas Hoult is chosen, fans can rest assured that they’ll be in for a treat. He has the talent, the looks, and the imposing presence to make a memorable Batman. So, let’s keep our fingers crossed that the studio makes the right choice. For sure, Hoult would be one of them.
