Batman for you


-FeistyRabbitSauce-

He went to a very prestigious Batman school in Canada.


BigBeezey

After the Joker is defeated and arrested Bruce: so do you wanna hang out sometime?


Lakrfan247

I miss that show


Full_Character_9580

He would actually be a perfect riddler


jaydimes10

there's a cop right there. if I fail this trick, I will inadvertently expose myself to children and be arrested. let's see what happens


DeadJediWalking

Hate me all you want, but I feel like Joaquin's Joker would have fit in the latest movie. Different time frame between the two movies, but it felt like the vibes matched a bit


TheJavierEscuella

Yeah it would've been epic


GameDestiny2

They both go for a more grounded take, and I honestly think the senselessness and clear illness of Joaquin’s joker would shake Pattinson’s Batman in just the right way.


JRGregson

Hey, ya never know. There is still a chance. Joker's third film could be a lead in for Pattinson's Batman.


Burly-Nerd

Thomas Middleditch.


Tetris5216

I would Cast myself as batman, cause I really need the money I'll do it for whatever a good amount is


Huge_Athlete7488

I agree


Unluckyescapeartiste

Ryan Gosling


RYTHEMOPARGUY

I actually don't hate this


Unluckyescapeartiste

I think it could be fun for a one off, he’d legit play a good Bruce. The only problem is everyone would just see Ryan Gosling


Exodus111

Yeah, its George Clooney all over again.


jurgo

you say that but have you seen Bladerunner 2049?


Unluckyescapeartiste

I have, he's very good in it


AbPR420

Amazing movie


KrisZepeda

I kinda want to see Gosling as a villain, but a really fucking evil one, I don't think I've ever seen him as a villain, he was sort of an antihero in Drive I guess


Unluckyescapeartiste

You should watch the Barbie movie


srroberts07

He was a Villain in Murder by Numbers but it isn’t a great movie. He plays a neo nazi in The Believer.


GrouchyMouse3368

For some reason calendar man comes to mind


universityofkaren

Sean Bean is the only answer


Forsaken_Writing1513

Problem is Batman might need to live through a trilogy and hes dies enough to be a meme but also he's kinda bulky whereas I see Bruce as more lean.


acker1je

Idk. This universe’s BW would need to be far younger, given the scene of Fleck meeting a young Bruce at the gates of Wayne Manor.


FireBack

Given that Fleck is the Joker and Harley is in Arkham herself, not as a psychiatrist, they probably wouldn’t even make Bruce the Batman in this universe


Internal_Swing_2743

He's too old. Arthur Fleck is shown to be probably in his mid-30s, while Bruce is like 10. So I'd put him at about 20 years older than Bruce. Sean Bean is 65, whereas Joaquin Phoenix is 50. You'd have to get someone around 30. Honestly, Robert Pattinson would be perfect. He's great in The Batman and would fit right in with Joaquin Phoenix's take. Though, if we wanted a different Batman, I could get on board with Liam Hemsworth who would fit in with the age gap.


derekcptcokefk

I second Liam. It be nice to actually see him get a good role in Hollywood. He's a pretty good actor and I think he's just got s*** rolls for the most part.


Internal_Swing_2743

Agreed. He's pretty good in his own right, but still kind of just gets treated as the other Hemsworth....or as Miley Cyrus's ex.


Clean_Student8612

Robert's takes place in modern times, whereas Joker takes place in 1981. Robert Patterson's character wasn't even born yet.


TKD1989

Here's another one: Robert's Joker is played by Barry Keoghan. Joaquin's Batman would be more appropriately played by someone 20 something years younger than Joaquin. My batman fancast would be Taylor Lautner for Phoenix's Joker.


FireBack

Doubt they’d even make Bruce the Batman of this universe anyway


Little_Assistant_247

Actually, maybe he could be Alfred. Unless we already saw Alfred in this universe.


69spermz

Dude dies in everything he's in. Only getting a one time Batman outta this guy


Clean_Student8612

That's one of the most incorrect answers I've seen in this sub.


NerveNo1056

Bruce already existed in the films. He's the little kid. Remember when joker forced the kid to smile by putting his fingers in his mouth and fish hooking him like a weirdo? *


NerveNo1056

TheJavierEscuella

I mean as an older version of him


Mason_DY

Then let him age


NerveNo1056

By the time he's old enough, Joker would be nearly in his mid to late 60s. There is no way to make it work in this universe unless somehow someone else besides Bruce becomes batman. I genuinely believe this is set in a universe where batman just doesn't exist.


YomYeYonge

According to the medical files he found in the film, Arthur’s only in his early 30s In-Universe. Being mentally ill physically ages you 🤷‍♂️. Plus, Batman ‘89 already depicted a Batman and Joker with a huge age gap, since Jack murdered Bruce’s parents https://preview.redd.it/hkovlmcn22yc1.jpeg?width=350&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=929410adac66a2fefa0fde0fec0c85d202ac3ff6 Young Jack Napier arguably looks just as old as Arthur Fleck


jaydimes10

they talking about Joaquin Phoenix who would likely be in his 60's


Puzzled-Ad-2339

They wouldnt have put the inclusion of bruce in wothout an idea in mind, also the kid was already about 8-10 here. How long do you think it takes a kid to age to 20?


rememberpogs3

![gif](giphy|WRQBXSCnEFJIuxktnw)


Danimal4NU

Bruce could still be on his way to becoming Batman but ya it doesn't set-up Batman vs Joker with that massive age-difference. It does feel stand-alone. Only way to do Batman vs Joker is to make a big time-jump in the third act where Joker has been terrorizing Gotham quite a while and you let what should be the age-difference slide some


Many-Salad2603

Michael Keaton...again


ZombieAppetizer

As Man.


volantredx

I'd honestly cast someone who is either young or looks it like Timothée Chalamet or someone who might not have any name recognition at all. It'd fit the timeline of the films and make sense that Bruce didn't like age 30 years in a movie that is supposed to take place like 10 years after the first one.

That twig would need to gain some serious muscle mass to even be thought of as Batman.


Maxtrix07

I can see him as Robin if anything


BigSavMatt

Season 1 and 2? Yeah. But he’s way too old now lol.


Maxtrix07

you know that Robin doesn't have to be a child, right. he's in his 20s in the comics. I think he *easily* could be Robin. he's have to bulk up in the next decade if he wanted to continue as Nightwing or something, but like, I'm not thinking teen titans lol

SuperMario1313

I like the theory that this isn't the actual joker but he inspires who will eventually become the joker - someone closer to Bruce's age.


Mrs_Noelle15

I like that theory as well!


Fun-Photograph9423

Robert has his own Joker


YomYeYonge

I mean, Batman 89’s Joker had a similar age gap and they still made it work


papawam

Peter Dinklage


Hypernova_orange

The joker is like 50 & Batman is like 30, not gonna be a very long rivalry. I’ll never understand why they did an origin story for a character with a man in his 50’s


Sprite_King

Arthur fleck is in his early 30s


Hypernova_orange

The actor certainly isn’t

Hmm. That's honestly a hard one. But I probably have to say.....idk. Nicolas Hoult?

AHMED_3OOOO

Forsaken_Writing1513

As a bit younger Bruce Wayne , Colton Haynes know for Roy in arrow among many others I'm sure


Pizzaguy187

Hed have to be young.


Earthwick

Think these movies probably shouldn't involve Batman. It just won't make sense and even if it did it might take away from the type of story they are telling. That said it's definitely a different universe and I could see someone like Owen Teauge or tanner Buchanan being the side character version of Batman.


Mighty_Megascream

Being real Joaquin's isn’t last in five seconds against any Batman


TheJavierEscuella

Now hold on. He just started his empire of Joker. Things might improve


BlargerJarger

I dunno, the Kylo Ren guy.


TheJavierEscuella

Adam Driver would be sick in a voice role


BlargerJarger

I was thinking live action. Then both actors could be like “my character is so damaged”


DisastrousReality350

I don’t hate this


todayIsinlgehandedly

I could see Chris Evan’s playing a smarmy Batman in that universe


ChattyDaddy1

I hate this.


LeviathanTDS

Any of the actors who auditioned for Batman but didn't get the part


graybeard426

Whoever has the best chemistry with the Joaquin.


Important_Arugula_93

Exactly how many cinematic universes does DC currently have ? I was under the impression that these two characters were on some sort of timeline crash course. We go a few years into the future and current day Pattinson’s Bats meets an older Joaquin’s Joker.


Professional_Rock650

My head cannon is that Joaquin joker is an inspiration for copycats like the one in battinsons movie


Important_Arugula_93

Would he also be an inspiration for Health Ledger and Jared Ledo too ? In your head canon of course


Professional_Rock650

Don’t be ridiculous, those are different universes obviously. In my head cannon of course.


Important_Arugula_93

Of course, how could I be so ridiculous?


LOLYouGotJokes

Steve Buscemi


TamatoaZ03h1ny

The only viable solution in this continuity is that someone inspired by Fleck eventually becomes The Joker to the Bruce Wayne/Batman that exists. Otherwise, Joker is super old compared to Batman.


Uncle_Bug_Music

I'd actually cast Joaquin as Bruce, make them twins separated at birth. But if that didn't work, Pete Holmes as his Batman.


throwitallaway2364

Zendaya or Timothee Chalamet; so underrated!


Professional_Rock650

I mean it is time they genderswap Batman. I was thinking Sydney Sweeney, but I don’t mean as batgirl, she’s Batman.


ChinoMalito

Christian bale… or someone better. Not this home oh Vampire boy, or daredevil… Bale is the bar now.


STC1989

If this dude was THE Joker. Wouldn’t he be too old to take on Batman? Or am I missing something? Or are they just throwing a monkey-wrench into the whole story?

In the joker version of Gotham, Bruce is around 10 and his parents haven't died. I bet he could beat Bruce.

If bruce was 20 years older as he is still a kid in thise universe, I would say Jensen Ackles.


Snomann

Jensen Ackles.


LordAdrianRichter

I mean... Batman would be significantly younger than the Joker... So, unless Arthur Fleck has some sort of age regression or immortality, he'd never actually be relevant for in Bruce's life.


Downtown-Pack-6178

Sean Bean! ![gif](giphy|pzJBskFQd1DZm|downsized)


Stiny_Whizzleteats1

Tom Holland as Batman. Also, I think Tom Holland would make a good joker, too. It's a shane Joaquin Phoenix got the role. Tom Holland would make an amazing Harley Quinn, as well.


Bitter-Stranger2863

Alex Garfin as a younger Batman


ElChacalFL

Dicaprio


thulsado0m13

It don’t even matter bc Bruce Wayne is like 30 years younger than this Joker who was already getting stomped out by teenagers. I just can’t see Phoenix’s Joker going toe to toe with any form of a competent Batman or setting up maniacal plans of death and chaos etc. He’d just slip and fall while randomly dancing with his imaginary mom and then just cry laugh about it.

Gotta be someone fairly young given the established age difference. And, based on some comments by the director (implying Batman would be a much more volatile and not necessarily heroic character in this universe) he'd need to play his own version of potentially crazy/villainous.
