CBM: Tyler Hoechlin to screen test as Batman in [SUPE2] Antibody Jul 24, 14:17

Oops, that should be CBN, Cosmic Book News not Comic Book Movies {nm} Antibody Jul 24, 14:18

Isn't it WAY too early for any screen tests? {nm} medusa Jul 24, 14:39

Well, they're looking at a 2015 release date, so pre-production should start soon (w/ costumes). {nm} ~JPV~ Jul 24, 14:52

HCAVI was cast in January 2011, 30 months from release date. We're 24 months from SUPE2. {nm} Antibody Jul 24, 14:53

It looks like they are casting for a 90210 spinoff....... EW has great case for Ryan Gosling gogreenytd Jul 24, 15:00

EW's rationale is he wouldn't be overshadowed by Bale and Downey (!?). That's the wrong approach. {nm} Antibody Jul 24, 15:24

Fassbender would be better Bruce Wayne {nm} GMov Jul 24, 15:32

I 2nd the Fass {nm} doitdoitdoitnow Jul 24, 17:06

Perceived stature of the actor is important, because Superman is more powerful than Batman and Cavill is now established. {nm} KalElFan Jul 25, 05:11

Problem is e.g. Karl Urban has the genre cred/stature/ruggedness to pull off Batman, whereas Gosling doesn't evoke that IMO. {nm} KalElFan Jul 25, 05:19

90210 and Gosling winning that AWMWTSW (new acronym - Actor Women Most Want To Sleep With) poll. :-) {nm} KalElFan Jul 25, 05:24

Dean Cain was ex-90210 and a good Superman by S2 of L&C, but he was also an NCAA linebacker IIRC and attended Buffalo Bills camp where {nm} KalElFan Jul 25, 05:30

he blew out his knee. Somebody broke an NCAA record of his while he was Superman. :-) It still took him an L&C yr. "Batman" won't have. {nm} KalElFan Jul 25, 05:35

He looks like Bruce Wayne. Never seen him act though. thatpj Jul 24, 16:38

Tyler Hoechlin? I have a bad feeling about this, and I can't tell you EXACTLY why. {nm} eallensbp Jul 24, 22:04

Age 25 is the main problem IMO. Here's a pic from Comic-Con 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tyler_Hoechlin_Comic-Con_2012.jpg {nm} KalElFan Jul 25, 06:12

Haven't seen him act either but in many pics he looks the part. Young-looking though at 25. Is their objective that young? {nm} KalElFan Jul 25, 06:09

that site either makes stuff up or posts everything they hear {nm} robb1138 Jul 25, 06:31
