Perfect Batman

I wrote an article a few days ago about who I wanted to play Batman, but I overlooked the perfect person for the part.

Fassbender, Evans, and all those guys are great actors and would all play Batman well, but the best actor to play Batman is:

Jim Caviezel.

He's older than most of the Bruce Wayne/Batman(s), but that's actually a good thing. Since the movie is going to be Batman Vs. Superman. Obviously they are going to fight at first and then team up. Batman and Superman are best friends in the comics, Bruce Wayne is going to have to help guide Superman into the hero he is supposed to be. So it would make a lot more sense to have an older Bruce Wayne to help guide Clark Kent to that point. It would be pretty unrealistic to have some young Bruce Wayne giving Clark Kent all these guidelines and advice if he is only a young person himself with no experience.

He is currently starring in the TV series Person of Interest, written by Jonathan Nolan. The brother of Christopher Nolan, the producer of Man of Steel. If you've ever seen the show, you'd notice that there are a lot of similarities to the Batman story comic book line. Caviezel plays a cop named Reese. He takes on different identities to solve crimes, just like Bruce Wayne a.k.a. Batman. He's not afraid to use guns, but he prefers to shoot down his enemies in the knee. But the biggest thing is how Caviezel fights in the show. He fights a lot like Batman. He uses everything he has at his disposal. He is an ex CIA so he has gadgets and weaponry like The Dark Knight.  

Jim Caviezel is the perfect fit for Batman.
