POLL: Who Should Be the Next Batman Actor? With Warner Bros. in hot development on solo superhero movie The Batman, writer/director Matt Reeves and the studio are currently on the hunt for the next hot young actor to portray The Dark Knight.
CONS: While Reeves is looking for a younger Bruce Wayne, Hedges may be TOO young, and has no real action experience.
CONS: At age 39 he may be a bit too old to play a young Bruce Wayne, being only 7-years younger than Affleck.
With an official release date set for June 25, 2021, The Batman will focus on a younger Batman/Bruce Wayne, which unfortunately led to Ben Affleck’s departure.
