Jake in Batman??
« on: August 09, 2006, 04:58:30 pm »
 ??? just read on Jake's IMDb board that there is a rumor floating around that Jake will play Harvey Dent in the new
Batman movie "The Dark Knight" - which means both of the our guys would be together again, albeit on different sides
of the law, but who cares - just to see them share the screen again gives one hope for Hollywood yet - the rumor
also has it that Jake is being considered for Spiderman 4 after Tobey McGuire retires from the series - note: none of
this is confirmed yet, but............... :o

I remember hearing this a long time ago as well... around the time we first came to Bettermost, but I haven't seen any articles or anything to prove it.  I won't lie, I would love to see Jake in the new Batman...
‘cause the truth is, I already give him everythin’ I got to give, more than I ever even knew I had; ‘n it all for him, all of it, him who is my brother, my father, my child, my friend, my lover, my heart, my soul; my Ennis.

Ditto.  I heard this rumor long ago back when we were all on IMDb.  I thought it got dispelled?

How about Heath and Jake as Batman and Robin? 

Especially in those skin tight outfits!

Mmmm  Jake as boy wonder!    :-*

This thread, forgive me, reminded me of the Ambiguously Gay Duo.  Googling, I came across this:

This whole rumor started out because Jake was one of the finalists to play Batman in "Batman Begins." He lost the role to Christian Bale who is set to do “Batman 2: The Dark Knight” (as is Heath Ledger).

As for Spiderman, Jake was going to star in “Spiderman 2” because there were some “complications” with Tobey McGuire. Alas, the “complications” were resolved … Tobey was in, Jake was out.

I don’t know about you, but I am glad Jake didn’t get those roles. That would have changed the whole trajectory of his career and it is doubtful that he would have played our precious “Jack” in BBM. I’ll take “Jack” over Bruce Wayne any day!  ;D

Although David … I concur that I would like to see both Jake and Heath in those tights! :laugh:

I totally agreed, Diane!  Jack will probably always be my favorite role for Jake.  But it would be nice to see the two of them in other movies together.  Now since BBM is over with, I don't mind seeing him in more popular roles in big budget movies.

too long to wait if you ask me, and it puts it out of the running for the oscars (unless they do a limited early release....) :-\
