   Cast any thoughts of playing Batman out of your mind - you haven't even been screentested for the role. Sorry.

2. 5 and above.

   You've gotten through to the final stages of casting for either Batman or a Batman villain, but been pipped at the post at the last minute. Maybe next time? Actually, maybe Robin Williams should get a shot at a Batman character first...

3. 10 and above.

   With knowledge like that, you're pretty much guaranteed a shot at being Batman after Affleck... Right?
