Armie Hammer Says He “Would Jump” At Chance To Play Batman

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”18276″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Ever since Ben Affleck announced he would not be returning to the role of Batman, anyone and everyone has been mentioned in connection with Matt Reeves The Batman. One name that has been mentioned as much as any is Armie Hammer. The logical reason is that he was once supposed to play the caped crusader in George Miller’s Justice League Mortal. Unfortunately, the film to fell apart before shooting even began. In the years since that project was scrapped, his name has been almost synonymous with the role. One problem though, he was never asked to do it. He talked about it in a recent interview with USA Today.

Yeah, that’s the problem: I’ve never been approached, but if I was, I would jump at the opportunity, You can only say ‘no’ or ‘yes’ to projects you’re offered.

That does seem logical. However Hammer does know who HIS Batman might have been like had Miller’s film not tanked.

The It was pre-Christian Bale but the Christian Bale Batman had a lot more in common with it than any of the previous ones…This was one about a guy who is severely psychologically, almost deranged. It was dark and it was really intense and this guy had major trust issues, the whole thing. It was a great concept and a really cool idea.

How do you think Hammer would have fared as the Dark Knight? Do you think he could still be…The Batman?  Share your Dark Detective thoughts with us at GVNation.
