A Batman film or any comic book movie would never hire the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger or George Clooney, comic books usually go with up and coming actors or lesser knowns or a star who isn't instantly recognizable in any role, they would make the superheroes the star not the actor. Not it would necessarily lead to a better cast but more of a fan pleasing one.
shareThey chose Ben Affleck as batman.
shareDon't be so sure about that. It seems like in the last 10 years or so, there are a lot of big names (and in some cases, FORMER big names trying to get some relevance) that have attached themselves to comic book movies just so they can get a cut of the residuals. They often play a friend/relative of the main character.
Imagine B&R cast in place of TDKR cast directed by Nolan - Arnie as Bane, Uma Thurman as catwoman, ChrisODonnell instead of Matthew Modine , Alice Silverstone as Miranda , and Clooney in a cameo as the CIA agent at the start lol
