Hey, he's already playing Dracula. If we've learned anything, the jump from vampire to Batman is a thing.

I mean, to be fair, he also already sort of played Batman... kinda.

For all of the flack Superman Lives got, that costume doesn't seem *that* bad.

I think it was mostly still pictures of the translucent iridescent one and his hair that bothered people the most. But to be fair to him that was just a costume fitting, and odds are he would have styled his hair differently for the film, and they'd have picked a suit that didn't look like total ass for the final product.

Though I also think most of the fear was because Burton was directing (aka the guy who made Batman goth and who proudly boasted that he'd never read a comic book), and Nicolas Cage (insane man that he is) was playing Superman. Though even that was overhyped. And honestly, Nicolas Cage is a pretty good actor when he actually tries - we just mostly remember him from when he was deliberately playing crazy (Shia LeBeef also sort of fits into this category, and arguably maybe even Prince William Freshington Smith).
