7 Actors Who Should Be Cast In DC’s Standalone Films And Who They Should Portray

As we're sure you're all aware by now, the DCEU – or whatever it should be called – will still exist after Justice League, but the filmmakers will be allowed to experiment more with standalone outings. While the Joker origin movie is gearing up to be the first in this new line of DC projects, there's a lot of chatter that Matt Reeves' The Batman will also be set early on in the Caped Crusader's crime-fighting career.

Jon Hamm (Harvey Dent/Two-Face)

Recommended Videos

If Ben Affleck were to be recast today, we’d go for Jon Hamm as his like-for-like replacement. But if The Batman is going in the youthful direction we think it is, Hamm is unfortunately out of the running as the Caped Crusader. That doesn’t mean that he can’t be cast in another role, though.

Who wouldn’t want to see him as Harvey Dent or Two-Face? He has the look to pull off the charismatic district attorney as well as the split-personality villain obsessed with the number two. One only needs to watch his turn as Buddy in Baby Driver to see how he’s capable of evolving and layering a character throughout a single motion picture. Considering he’s an in-demand actor at the moment, it’s only a matter of time before one of the big superhero franchises gobbles him up.

As undoubtedly one of Dark Knight’s prestigious villains, we all know that Two-Face will be showing up in the latest batch of Batman movies. Much like before, we hope he’ll be portrayed by an exceptional actor.

Tell us, who do you think should be cast in DC‘s standalone films? Let us know in the comments section below.
