Cast a wrestler as Batman

[The Butcher]

Well played by The Great One. This tweet got me thinking about which pro wrestler would make a good Batman. I'm undecided, so I pose the question to WrestleZone's gallery of rogues.

If you could pick a wrestler (past or present) to play the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne, who would you choose and why?

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

Anyone who says Punk will be shot.

 

[Alex]

Damien Sandow

Anyone who says Punk will be shot.

But he's trained in Brazilian Karate kicks.

Orton is the first guy to come to mind due to his build and handsomeness but I'd hate for him to have to shave R.O.B. and it would cost $200,000,000 to cover his tats.

Plus I'm not sure if the guy could act his way out of a paper bag.

Cody might work but he'd need to lose the speech impediment (see also Miz).

Dibiase Jr is too dull.

So yea, I'm going with Darren Young.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Sin Cara, because some people just want to watch the world burn, and some people want to see a bumbling superhero help spread the flames just a little bit faster but in a comedic fashion.

Or Eddie Guerrero, to see the batmobile pimped out as a low-rider.

 

[hatehabsforever]

AJ Styles.

 

[akathelaw]

Sean O'Hare

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

Hunter...uh no?

 

[The Butcher]

Hunter...uh no?

Wealthy, powerful, loved by the common man, hated by a mob.

 

[justinsayne]

Shane McMahon

Looks like a millionaire, has fought off bad guys before, likes diving/falling off tall structures, seems to be able to withstand copious amounts of pain.

Yep, gotta be Shane O'mac is your man err... Batman

 

[Mac Attack]

Cena.

 

[The Butcher]

Cena.

Because he's the hero wrestling deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

 

[Starkist]

Fandango. Has the look and the voice to pull off the Batman character

 

[Miko]

Ryback

 

[Bernkastel]

How dare all of you overlook the late great John Tenta. He'd make a perfect Batman.

I dunno, maybe coz he's deceased and all.

 

[Whap Me Jungles]

So we'll boo him, because he can take it. Because he's not a wrestler. He's a merchandise seller. A wish maker. A Garishly-Coloured Knight.

In fairness, I did say past or present. I did not, however, say "Fatman".

You magnificent bastard.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

Great Khali. Just think about it for a second.

Second choice - RVD.

Well then I have it, Nick Bockwinkel.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

Oh, past or present? Then it's gotta be Kendo Nagasaki

 

[Miko]

I am really pleased no one went the tasteless route and said Chris Benoit.

That left it wide open for me.

Chris Benoit.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

I was gonna say Dynamite Kid Miko.

 

[Galvatron]

The Iron Sheik

The Z-Man Tom Zenk
