Jon Hamm, Tremendous Dong And All, Is Keen To Be The Next Big-Screen Batman

Overnight, a giant shitstorm seemingly befell the DC Comics cinematic universe, and all of a sudden we’re without actors currently occupying the roles of Superman and Batman. The former thanks to an utterly bizarre situation regarding Henry Cavill being booted from the role because he didn’t want – or didn’t have time for – a cameo appearance in the upcoming Shazam!, and the latter probably because Ben Affleck is far too busy being tired and sad. As far as Batman is concerned, however, that vacancy might not be open for very long. At least not if Jon Hamm has anything to do with it.

In an interview that very conveniently popped up today, Hamm just-so-happened to mention that he’d be bang-up for the role if the circumstances allowed. That said he hasn’t actually talked to anyone about it, but if we’ve learned anything from the Idris Elba/James Bond saga or the Michael B Jordan/literally any movie chatter, it’s that you’ll never get anything if you’re not talking about it.

In the interview, Hamm mentions he’s been a comic book fan since he was 9 and would dead set love a chance to take a run at Gotham’s Dark Knight, even going so far as to suggest he’d probably fit the suit, which is really only something you’d say if you’ve definitely tried on a Bat suit in the past *just for fun*.

I am a huge comic book fan, always have been. I’ve read comic books since I was 9 or younger. And I’m pretty knowledgeable about a lot of them. And I like the genre, and I like when they’re done well.

I’d probably fit the suit. I’d have to work out a lot, which I don’t love. But, I am sure there’s an interesting version of that being out there. And if they wanted to tap me on the shoulder and ask me to do it, why not?

Firstly, Jon Hamm would probably make the best Bruce Wayne of all time and certainly would make a more-than respectable Batman.

But secondly, and most importantly, he swears black and blue that he fits the suit, but there’d certainly be a logistical challenge or two for the costume department as far as the uh… codpiece goes.

Might wanna chuck a tick in the XXL when filling out that order sheet, lads.
