According to the Daily Express, Orlando is the frontrunner to land the role of Batman, with fellow British actor Henry Cavill continuing in his role as Superman for the highly-anticipated collaborative film.
The publication quotes a 'senior source' at Warner Bros as saying: 'Orlando looks odds-on to get the part even before our first casting call.
'He would be perfect to play off Henry and I think US audiences would be happy with two Brits as the joint male lead.'
Batman rumor.
Would be a surprising choice, for sure.

Bloom as Batman would be a fricking train wreck

Yeah... no
Idris Elba as the first black Batman.

Heads up guys.
Literally every high profile actor will be "attached" to this role by someone with "WB inside sources" at some point before it becomes official.

I vote we have one thread for all of these rumors.
Also, do not want Bloom.

I don't even mind Bloom in general, he's pretty good at what he does, but wow this would be possibly the worst possible choice for Batman outside of Shia LeBouef.

I read this last night
Would be a fricking horrible choice, IMO
The very definition of miscasting

I thought Bloom was parked until someone was needed to portray Chester Bennington.

I guess it's better than Johnny Depp pulling his tired act and getting the part.

This dude just flat-out can't act. He's unbelievably bad; a talent black hole. The only time he's remotely palatable is when he's on the periphery being propped up by much stronger leads (e.g., Pirates/Depp; LoTR/everyone else), and Batman is the antithesis of this type of role (even with Supes present, as they would both be leads). Producers have figured this out, as evidenced by the fact that the guy pretty much hasn't done shite in years. The only way he gets a gig like Batman (where billions of dollars and a studio's entire fiscal year are at stake) is if he has JJ-type blackmail info on one of the producers--and even then, I would wager it doesn't happen.
