15 Actors Who Should Play Batman Once Ben Affleck Hangs Up The Bat-Cape

Warner Bros. Pictures

The DC Universe has been slow to the game when it comes to making cinematic masterpieces, unlike Marvel.

For instance, Ben Affleck has had poor reviews when it comes to his role as Batman. This is especially troubling since there are planned Justice League movies in the works for the DC Universe. The only successful reviews that have lately come from the DC Universe has been the addition of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman.

So, here are 15 even-better actors to play the newest replica of the superhero we all know and love, Batman. Any of these men could easily take DC Universe off of the ground.

Hugh Jackman

He's already proven that he can rock being a cinematic superhero during his stint as Wolverine.

Matthew McConaughey

He's built like a superhero and has the perfect deep voice for the Batman role.

Bradley Cooper

He's been getting into more dramatic roles so what more could we ask for?

Matt Damon

He's already proven that he can do well in action movies from his role as Jason Bourne.

Mark Wahlberg

He would be a versatile asset in this role since he has comedy, action, and musical talent in his repertoire.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

He was supposed to play Robin opposite of Christian Bale so this would be a great role replacement for him since Christian Bale was ousted.

Jake Gyllenhaal

He's already proven that he can do well in fight scenes thanks to his role in Southpaw.

Chris Pine

He has already shown that he has awesome screen chemistry with Gal Gadot as her love interest in Wonder Woman.

Zac Efron

At least he will attract women to the box office.

Ian Somerhalder

He's already had a role in a superhero show when he was in Smallville.

Sam Worthington

He has already proven that he can succeed in action films such as Clash of the Titans and Hacksaw Ridge.

Let's face it, he has done great in action scenes in the Transformers movies.

Supernatural fans would run to the box office to support their favorite.

Tyler Hoechlin

He's already used to playing a superhero since he plays Superman on Supergirl.

He's an upcoming actor and it doesn't hurt that he is the son of famous actor, Clint Eastwood.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
