Armie Hammer On BATMAN/SUPERMAN Speculation; "‘I'm Not A Big Fan Of Superhero Films"

With Christian Bale reportedly not returning as the Caped Crusader in Zack Snyder's Batman/Superman, Armie Hammer has been asked - during the UK press tour for The Lone Ranger - whether he would like to take on the role. Hit the jump to read his thoughts on the recent speculation!

While The Lone Ranger may have damaged his credibility to some extent, Armie Hammer is still a fan favourite choice to play Batman in a future movie. Well, with 2015 set to be the year that Zack Snyder pits that hero against Superman in a team-up movie, now seems like the perfect chance for Hammer to nab the role, right? "I’m not actually a big fan of superhero films," he told Metro when asked about the speculation that he will take on the role of the Caped Crusader in Batman/Superman or Justice League. "If you have a guy who is supposed to be invulnerable, then what’s the point? I think if Henry and I did that film and then a superhero film straight after, people might start to wonder about us..." The film he's talking about is of course The Man From U.N.C.L.E. in which he will star opposite Cavill as one of the two leads. For now, fans will have to make do when it comes to seeing the two fighting side-by-side on the big screen.

I don't care if he doesn't want to play Batman, but his views on CBMs are annoying.

I don't think Armie Hammer is in any position to reject movie roles, considering how badly The Lone Ranger damaged his career. Maybe he should reconsider.

I don't blame him. He's too busy making his career with his AMAZING Lone Ranger film!!!!!

Why again was everyone saying this guy should be Batman? Because he's a dude? He has a deep voice? He was cast as Batman a long time ago already?

Keep him away.

Good, didn't think he should be Batman anyway. Even more so after Lone Ranger flopped. Now i say go after Joe Manganiello.

The only actor I like for Batman has been the only one rumored by anyone so far: Tyler Hoechlin.

He's not famous, he's apparently a decent actor, and he's got the look.
LEVITIKUZ
LEVITIKUZ - 8/1/2013, 6:12 PM
True CaptainObvious but when someone praises Marvel Studios, nearly was Batman, and rumored as Ant-Man you can tell he's interested.
HugoStrange87
HugoStrange87 - 8/1/2013, 6:13 PM
Good, I really don't want him. I never really liked him, he seems pompous. Look at the interview of him possibly playing Antman. He seemed like such a d*ck trying to play coy.

He's only interested in CBMs when he needs to be.
