Welcome, Patrice. You'll like it here.

Agreed.
Patrice Wrote:Maybe Renner is good choice! Think he´s much better then reynolds (did he really signs up for nolans batman III).
Last time I checked, Chris Nolan hasn't committed to directing
B3, so any casting commitments can only be rumours.
Reynolds signed up for Green Lantern, so he won't be appearing in B3 unless it's called
Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
Renner has a better chance of playing
Mad Max at this point than any role in
B3.
Besides...he's too old for Jack (he's the same age as Nathan Fillion):

Nathan Fillion: 38
Jack in the Tomb: 35
Thomas Jane's age when (optimistically) filming begins: 42
Nathan Filion's age when (optimistically) filming begins: 40
Jack in the Tomb: 35
Thomas Jane's age after (optimistically) filming Jack sequels for 10 years: 52
Nathan Fillion's age after (optimistically) filming Jack sequels for 10 years: 50
Jack's age in Nightwolrd: 38
Ability to suspend disbelief that a 50 year old guy is 38?
FAIL.
The Jack we choose today to star in the Tomb and it's sequels, in order to pass for 38 in 12 years from now, HAS to be between 29 and 33 TODAY. When Nightworld is filmed 15 years from now they would be 41-46 playing 38.
THAT, I could suspend disbelief on.
Otherwise Jack becomes a revolving door of actors...and we all know how well that worked out with a certain 007 character.

Axioms Jack seems to live by (inadvertantly or not):
Why he does what he does: "I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either." Bruce Wayne, Identity Crisis
On Rasalom: "Water's wet, the sky is blue...and good old Satan Claus, Jimmy...he's out there...and he's just gettin' stronger." Joe Hallenbeck, The Last Boyscout
