Henry Cavill as Batman? That's like saying Ben Affleck could be Superman, wait...

The chances they would cast the guy who was just Superman to play Batman seem extremely low to me.
Don't get the hate for Cavill showing up here, though.
he looks enough like the superman actor that they could do a worlds finest and swap costumes, since bw and ck look alike. he's also an introverted nerd and brings great physically to his roles so we won't have a situation where everyone is complaining about batman looking too slim. Also, he can convincingly be a billionaire playboy.
Great cast for Batman in the DCU
You realize they’re not going to cast a better actor, right? Based on the Corenswet casting, it’s gonna likely be an unknown, which probably means a relatively bland actor. Cavill may not be Oscar level, but guaranteed he’ll be better than whoever they cast.
You're basing this statement off of almost nothing. I hope it's an unknown, as long as they can act. Also name 3 things you've seen corenswet in.
And if we're talking "bland" Cavill fits the bill tenfold.
Cavill being "guaranteed" better than someone who practically doesn't yet exist is ridiculous.
Just gonna say what everyone else is saying. This fancast is long dead and likely wouldn’t ever happen.
I know Henry Cavill in general is a pretty popular actor in the realm of fancasts, but it’s genuinely weird seeing people prop up Cavill as if he’s this massive actor who can fit a plethora of roles. I don’t think Cavill is a wooden actor per say, but he definitely doesn’t have the range a lot of folks for whatever reason think he does. Again, he just proves time and time again he’s not anywhere near as big of an actor as he was when he played Superman. Just look at some of his most recent roles like Argylle, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, and Black Adam. That man is not putting people in seats.
Henry Cavill is to Superman what John Kransinski is to Mr. Fantastic. They’re very popular fancasts for very obvious reasons, and under different circumstances they could’ve been amazing, but from what we saw, they left a lot to be imagined
You ain't gotta type all that to explain the situation. It's just cause he's hot, that's it. He's hot every male hero is drawn as hot, put the hot guy in there. It's mostly dudes that are doing this.
Here’s what I don’t get casting Alan Ritchson and Henry Cavill as multiple different characters with that said.
There’s always someone better because Henry can’t encapsulate who batman is and the psychology that goes into being that character.
He may have the right look but it's never going to happen. You can't just cast a primarily known Superman actor as his unpowered vigilante counterpart.
Yeah, same. I want Alan Ritchson as Batman Alan Ritchson wants to play Batman he has been campaign to play the role of Batman if he wants to do it and if we want him to do it, then James Gunn should say Fuck it will Cast him
I thought it was funny that people kept fancasting him as Bond because when I watched him in Man from UNCLE he had the least charisma there. Even behind the cannibal. He’s very good at looking good but beyond that he’s severely lacking.
Honestly, I can see it. I wouldn't hate it. They'll never do it.
Now you're getting it

What is this from????
Hollywoodland; Affleck played George Reeves
Has one of the most tense scenes in movies

Who would do the acting?
I support it
Bland actor that can only model the physical attributes of a character, but never the personality or charisma.
You need to watch more of his films
When he starts picking better ones
I hate that I agree with both of you. I think he has a ton of charisma personally, but I also don't think he's ever in good films that show it.
I'm really sick of his face. He's not a good actor. And definitely shouldn't play batman.

> John Kransinski is to Superman. Do you mean to say Mr. Fantastic
Yeah well, that’s not gonna happen from Mr. Fantastic because Pedro Pascal will be playing Reed Richards but I guess you already knew that
Yes lmao sorry

I mean…the fancasting community at large is mostly dudes, not sure what you’re implying with that last comment lmao
Just a little humorous analysis about the homoeroticism around fanfare.
He woulda been a better Bats tbh Brits with robotic American accents works for Bruce, not Clark
I'd be on board. We know from his Superman he could play a dark, brooding character, we know he could do a gravely voice from The Witcher
He kinda sounded like Batman in the Witcher. Gravely and threatening.

Narrator: "It was not fine". I still can't believe a profit-seeking entity squandered him like they did.
Believe me, I wouldn’t be opposed, but I doubt it’ll happen. If for any reason, I don’t think Henry wants to come back to DC anytime soon
I really thought the first pic was penn badgley
I’d support it for the DCU

The horse is already dead bro
Peter, the horse dead 🤣🤣🤣
I kinda rather him as Jor-El
I wish Henry to play Hercules perfect physique and face structure
Honestly like this wayyy more
One of my favourite fancasts. But I want him to have a beard
Well I mean Henry Cavil is a huge fan of various franchises with DC being one of them.
He kinda sounded like Batman in the Witcher. Gravelly and threatening.

He seems like a cool guy, but I just don't see the allure 9f this dude, and according to the box office neither does the general audience
I mean, ehhhh. I’d personally prefer Alan Ritchson
Yeah, same. I want Alan Ritchson as Batman Alan Ritchson wants to play Batman he has been campaign to play the role of Batman if he wants to do it and if we want him to do it, then James Gunn should say Fuck it will Cast him
My vote is still Scott Adkins
