Deadline reports the new Batman film will focus on "a younger Bruce Wayne." Now that Affleck has hung up the Bat mantle for good, INSIDER rounded up 11 other men who would be perfect to don the cape and cowl.

The only problem: We doubt Gyllenhaal would be available now that he's playing for team Marvel in Sony's "Spider-Man: Far From Home."When asked last year about taking on the role, he gave a simple, "No," in response .

If Reeves is looking for a younger, inexperienced Bruce Wayne, who is just starting out as Gotham's white knight, Chalamet may be the go-to actor. He may not be your first choice right away, but Chalamet has the acting range, and if Reeves is looking for a serious, younger actor there's no bigger up-and-coming star right now.

It's worth noting that Chalamet seems pretty chummy with Christian Bale. The two acted together in "Hostiles" and were seen snapping photos together at the Screen Actors Guild Awards recently. Is Chalamet getting advice from a former Dark Knight? The actor has even been compared to a younger Bale by director Greta Gerwig.

We've already seen what Michael B. Jordan can do as a villain in a Marvel movie (and a hero in the "Fantastic Four" reboot). Jordan has quickly become a mainstay at Warner Bros. after hit movies, including the "Creed" franchise.

Deadline reported last year Warner Bros. was even considering a Superman reboot with Jordan. Why not Batman?

You know Barnes from "Westworld" and "The Punisher." We know from his role on the HBO series that he can be vengeful and a sadistic killer, attributes that would lend themself nicely to Batman's darker side. (Of course, Batman has the "no kill" rule.)

We could easily see him go from the Wild West to Gotham.

There's just one problem.

"I've never had a conversation with anybody about it, literally," Hamm added. "And, I've sat in the rooms with all these guys, never been offered anything. I think the Internet wants what it wants."

Maybe ditch the idea of a younger Batman and just go with BatHamm.

The two starred together in Warner Bros.' "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." If Cavill is still playing Superman, the two have a good rapport on screen. Also, Hammer was supposed to play Batman back in George Miller's 2008 "Justice League" before it was scrapped, according to SyFy.

Bennett is known for being fan-favorite villain Deathstoke on the CW's "Arrow." Though Warner Bros. hasn't been big about bringing the small screen talent to their movie universe, maybe it's time for that to change.

Last fall, many thought the "Game of Thrones" star may step into the role after the HBO show is over. Harington does know a thing a too about playing a brooding character on screen. However, Entertainment Weekly's James Hibberd seemingly put that rumor to bed when his rep said they hadn't heard anything about playing the Dark Knight.
