Thought: About Stallone starring as Batman in “The Dark Knight Returns”…

Yes, I think I did read “The Dark Knight Returns” graphic novel when I was a kid back in high school. I think I still have that book laying around somewhere, I’ll have to look for it today.

Now that I think about it, Stallone, would be perfect for Batman in “The Dark Knight Returns” film, I totally agree now.

If you know the plot to “The Dark Knight Returns”, the graphic novel is about an “aging” Bruce Wayne/Batman. Bruce Wayne is sad, depressed and angered by the death of the second Robin and Bruce becomes an alcoholic. Think how Sly would be perfect that type of Bruce Wayne role. Now I can totally see why Frank Miller would want Sly.

Sly is really into researching “aging” men in their 50’s as you all know and if this Batman novel gets made into a film, Sly would love this idea. Sly as an aging Batman would be great.

Would Arnold work as Batman? Nah. Arnold is too tall and his mouth isn’t right for the mask. Sly’s the perfect fit. Maybe Sly Stallone himself should pick up the rights for “The Dark Knight Returns” so Sly can write and direct/star in the film himself. I hope this movie happens.
