@cleanlined.bsky.social Did you intentionally base your Bruce Wayne design on british actor Tom Brittney? The resemblance is kinda uncanny!

It's not. They shot the exteriors in Svalbard, Norway and the interiors in a studio on Atlanta.

I've thought that she'd be kinda cool to present as sort of a big sister for Damian, considering how similar their backstories are. I think comics should've leaned into that.

She's amazing! I hope we can see her in the DCU

What comic did you read? Because that's not how it went down at all. His original conception as depicted in the Son of the Demon Batman had a Batman years and years into his career, around the same time Dick was already Nightwing.

Damian didn't show up "ten years after Bruce trained to become Damian" in the comics. His conception happened deep into his career when he was originally introduced. Plus this isn't the comics so they can do whatever they want in terms of the timeline of things.

He's the same age as Edi Gathegi who plays Mr. Terrific so I think it works fine, plus I don't mind if after the end of the 10 year plan in 2035 the Batman mantle gets inherited to Dick Grayson.

His voice is perfect for Batman too as shown in this edit; and I think voice is REALLY important for him. It has similar qualities to Kevin Conroy's without sounding like him. Strong, theatrical, smooth baritone. Any comic dialogue I can imagine with Lee.

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

And some clips of him raging too, just for fun. The visual at the end of this one is so Batman!

From Arkham Unhinged #14 by Derek Fridolfs and Federicho Dallocchio.

Also just for fun I'm putting this clip of him fighting ninjas while naked in Foundation Season 2, which reminded me of this Arkham Unhinged issue where Bruce also fought ninjas naked.

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Recently this scene uploaded by @emmatolkin.bsky.social went viral on Twitter and man he can play cold and ruthless like no other. Cleon isn't really like Bruce Wayne but that darkness he shows here? Easily transferable in terms of acting.

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Other very short clips that showcase what I am talking about, how intimidating he can be with just his eyes and tiny movements and gestures. (Also good showcase on how good he looks on armor and a cape!) He'd be a Batman that can COMMAND a room, so much presence.

100

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

And then he's able to play very small, just sing his eyes, his head, little movements in his face. Because of the cowl and how stoic the character is you need an actor with a lot of control over how they can show emotions in tiny ways like that. Lee can do that too, as shown here.

100

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

I think it's important for Batman actors is for them to be able to play things really, really small but also really really big. Batman has /a lot/ of emotions pent up. Sometimes they can simmer and just explode. Lee can explode.

100

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

The resentment, the sadness, the anger, the way he still tries to keep some semblance of control even though he's emotionally at his weakest.

100

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

I love this scene too. I think it showcases a lot of Lee's best qualities as an actor and why he'd make such a perfect Batman.

100

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Can easily imagine him giving big Bruce Wayne speeches too. Very easy to imagine Lee's voice in a speech like the one in "Cold Days".

100

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

So good, can easily imagine him in those Wayne Enterprises business meetings!

100

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

One thing I love about Lee is his elegance. He gets cast all the time as high society people and for good reason. Adam West also had that elegance in his Bruce Wayne performance, and I think that part held up really well and would love to see it in a serious take.

100

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Would advice against watching this clip without seeing the film first but I had to put it as it cracks me up he even has his own Robin here.

100

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

And as shown by "The Fall", he can let that vulnerability out in ways that are even /more/ raw and blatant. (Would advice for spoilers!)

100

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

As a side note that scene reminded me of this moment from @tomking.bsky.social's and @claymann.bsky.social's Batman/Catwoman comic!

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

And of course he can play heartbroken really well too. Again, his eyes, especially as he listens to her towards the end.

100

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Those moments when he lets his vulnerability out in more mature, realized ways, with gentleness, trying to teach something to someone are great too. Putting context aside I can see this demeanor in a convo between Bruce and his protegés: "You'll live or die by who you really are."

100

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

And beneath that darkness there is a profound loneliness, a profound sadness. And when it comes pouring out man does Lee do such a good job at showcasing it. 6'5 man with a deep voice and you can see him going back into his childhood from just his looks, his face.

100

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

But beneath that charm of his in HaCF there lies a darker side of him, willing to do almost anything to achieve his goals, even hurting those around him to do so. I love the way he plays that darkness here, the cynicism when he says "She'll get over it, plus she'll learn to be more careful."

100

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

This charm is also pretty well utilized and seen in Tarsem Singh's brilliantly direct film "The Fall", where he spends the majority of the runtime bonding with a little girl who he is telling a story to in order to try to get something he needs.

100

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

I'm not kidding when I say he's charming. Here's a good example from his character in Halt and Catch Fire, a businessman with a silver tongue, insanely charismatic and captivating to watch; also yes, really seductive! Essentially like Bruce Wayne, playboy billionaire.

100

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Lee Pace is an amazing actor with insane amounts of screen presence, capable of being charming, vulnerable, elegant reserved and controlled in ways very few actors are. Here's a thread showcasing all that, and why he SHOULD be the @jamesgunn.bsky.social's #DCU Bruce Wayne/Batman! He's PERFECT.

Nope. The movie in theaters is the final movie.

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

Please try to get it on IMAX screens for a bit more! 2 weeks was not enough:)

I think Peacemaker would've been a fan of Gunfire.

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

I really, really enjoyed this interview. btw, James, without holding you to anything, is it still the plan for BaTB to be the live-action introduction to the DCU Batman? Obviously things can change but I'm wondering if, as of right now, that's still the plan.

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

Does Mr. Terrific actually count as a metahuman? I thought he didn't have powers in the comics, does he have them in the film?

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

She just told me you did notice her! She said thanks a lot and that you made her very very happy!

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

It looks great! I hope you managed to see my friend's cosplay at CCXP, she was right there in the crowd!

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Will the film be screening in those places on those dates as well?

Lee Pace should be Batman @leepacebatman.bsky.social · 26/05/2025

A really close friend of mine will be there at CCXP, will tell her to pass by and say hi! Wish I could make it, different state :(
