Re: Man of Steel 2 (Superman/Batman--Official title to be confirmed)
Physical is one rewuisite to play batman. The next question is, which actor is going to drop all his vanity at the door to play batman. When an actor drops all vanity, completely rewrites his being to play the character, you get cinematic gold. When all you do is star in one type of movie, romantic comedies or cliche action flicks, your being vain. The actor doesnt want to ruin his image or marketability as a movie archetype. Gosling may have given great performances, but have you ever seen stretch far beyond action star/romantic interst?
Christopher reeve once mentioned in an interview that great actors take up as many different roles as possible to test their acting limits. When christian bale became a skeleton for the machinist, you think there was any vanity what he did? He dedicated himself to that role, and didnt care if he looked like a freak of nature. Niether did heath, who immortalized the joker. To a much lesser extent, why do you think robert redford is starring in captain america? Is he gunna get a reward? Hellz no. But like other great actors, hes testing his acting limits, even if the movie is a campy action flick. Look at gary oldman, from creepy villian in fifth element to commissioner gordon.
If you apply these requisites, you can start weeding out most if the proposed actors to play the next batman. You can remove all the prebescent teenage television stars, whose only relation to the role is their good looks. Out of all the proposed actors, fassbender is the only one who has the range, has shown he is willing to drop vanity, and fits the physical requirements. This is coming after i just read another entertainment weekly blog gushing why gosling is the only one to play bats. Gosling seems like a great human being and talented at his craft, but we are talking about an iconic comic character i have loved since childhood. You can't half *** it, by simply going for looks or for an actor that hasn,t proven his acting range
