I dunno if he has the acting chops, but Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) can pull the look off if he shaves;
Gonna have to work on that British accent too, I guess.

Too bad he's retired.
He's retired from acting. He has Parkinson's Disease.

I was going to ridicule everything in this thread, including the very idea of another reboot but this might not be a bad thing.
Urban certainly seems to have the built, looks and voice for it.

Fassbender for the Joker.

Guys.
Guys!
Karl Urban is starring on Almost Human. Almost Human is being produced by JJ Abrams. JJ Abrams also produces Person of Interest. Person of Interest is created by Jonah Nolan. Jonah Nolan wrote the script for the TDK series, which was directed by Christopher Nolan. Christopher Nolan is producing Man of Steel, and by extension may be involved with the Batman reboot and the JL.
So... Karl Urban as Batman... could... happen.

Agreed.
I admittedly, didn't even know who he is. But when I watched Dredd and said "that guy could be Bats." So I saw the thread, google'd Urban and..

It would be Taylor Kitsch before Karl Urban.

I don't even want to think about a reboot until Batman/Superman happens and/or Justice League movie series is concluded.
Just give Bale a ton of money to keep at it.

I know it would mean glossing over Robin but...

I love Kevin Conry's Batman voice and Mark Hamill's Joker voice, but they would not work as live action versions of Bruce Wayne and the Joker.
Rated NC-17 with that combo maybeusing this story
I'm okay with this.
We all know the theatrical would be PG-13.
But i wouldn't mind them shoot extra scenes and leaving stuff out giving us a longer uncut version. That would be a realistic goal.

I'm ok with a batman movie but please no more reboots. Just start it up and have batman whooping butt already.
Karl Urban is a good choice ... but I have to go with Aaron Eckhart
There was never a jaw more fit for a super hero than his
I like this ... would destroy any chance of a Batman Superman movie xD

I'd like a proper live action Dark Knight Returns adaptation with Ron Perlman. Or perhaps Mickey Rourke.
Karl Urban is a great choice for a reboot though.

I was originally on the reboot bandwagon, but if they are going to go forward with the JLA stuff, I'm starting to come around to keeping Bale if he and Nolan are both on board. A young Batman doesn't seem right with the Justice League, whereas Bale could sort of be the older mentor of the group.

+1 for Karl Urban.
Makes the most sense.

Forget an origin story (just have limited flashbacks and exposition) and open with Urban-as-Batman running down the scum of Gotham in the streets, striking fear in everyone's hearts.

With all that is said, is it impossible for Bale and the rest of the Dark Knight crew to be back for a straight Justice League movie?
As long as he says cunt punt in the film.

They could open the JLA movie with a scene where
Darkseid attacks the cafe in Florence right after the head nod scene in TDKR, killing Alfred and Selena and giving Bruce a new source of vengeance to bring the cowl out of retirement for
He should play Jaws in the next Bond.

No, the rumor lately was that WB tried to negotiate with them recently at some point.
we won't know till after MOS releases or SDCC.
Damn, that was quick.
He said he wants to be Aquaman though.

If she wasn't already cast as Faora in Man of Steel, Antje Traue for Catwoman.
Man, Man of Steel's cast would make a great Batman cast.
Maybe.

I'm getting tired of reboots.
It's the same origin stories time after time and re-making the same villains with their own origin stories.
They need to stop doing this and just make it like the Bond series. Get a new actor and keep adding to the mythos, instead of starting from scratch all over again.
And do it right, or else a great character and his stories are going to put on the sidelines for nearly a decade until people forget about that character's terrible movie.
Fucking Hollywood. What's so hard about writing good stories when children's cartoons can do them ten times better?

Stana Katic should be Talia if they ever use her again.
