With Affleck out, Matt Reeves and DC Entertainment will need to find a new Batman and it will more than likely happen sooner rather than later as the film is expected to be released on June 25, 2021, that’s just a little over 2 years away.
Armie Hammer might have the best odds because he’s actually already been cast as Batman before. Hammer was slated to play the World’s Greatest Detective in George Miller’s Justice League: Mortal that was never made.
Hammer addressed the idea of playing a superhero on the Happy Sad Confused podcast back in 2017 saying, “I’m more interested now, in my artistic credibility and doing the projects that satiate me as an artist.”
Jake Gyllenhaal will also not be taking on the role of Batman. Gyllenhaal will be appearing as Mysterio in Marvel and Sony’s Spider-Man: Far From Home.
The actor debunked rumors that he could replace Affleck back in April of last year saying, “Wow that’s a very difficult question! The answer to that question is no.”
It’s also hard to see a number of the Marvel Cinematic Universe actors listed take on the role of Batman. I don’t see Star-Lord actor Chris Pratt, Thanos actor Josh Brolin, Captain America actor Chris Evans, or Killmonger actor Michael B. Jordan taking on the role of Batman.
There are also some actors who already appear in the DCEU that are listed. It’s hard to see them becoming Batman. Ewan McGregor is expected to play Black Mask in Birds of Prey and Henry Cavill is still Superman although there are rumors that he has left the role.
Jon Hamm has been rumored to take on Batman, and he’s expressed interest in the role, “I’d probably fit the suit. I’d have to work out a lot, which I don’t love. But, I am sure there is an interesting version of that being out there. And if they wanted to tap me on the shoulder and ask me to do it: why not?”
What’s interesting is the fact that this odds list looks to be more focused on older actors, but director Matt Reeves has indicated he’s looking to go younger with his Batman, and there have been significant rumors that he’s eyeing British actor Jack O’Connell, an actor who is not even on this odds list.

Reeves has also revealed his Batman will be quite a bit different from what we’ve seen in previous films with a focus on his detective skills.
“It’s very much a point of view-driven, noir Batman tale. It’s told very squarely on his shoulders, and I hope it’s going to be a story that will be thrilling but also emotional. It’s more Batman in his detective mode than we’ve seen in the films. The comics have a history of that. He’s supposed to be the world’s greatest detective, and that’s not necessarily been a part of what the movies have been. I’d love this to be one where when we go on that journey of tracking down the criminals and trying to solve a crime, it’s going to allow his character to have an arc so that he can go through a transformation.”
What do you make of this betting odds list? Is there anyone you might place a bet on? Who do you want to take on the role of Batman?
Betting doesn’t have to be rocket science. Keep it simple by choosing a horse with a cool name. Or one that’s wearing your favorite color. But if you’re the analytical type who wants to consider a horse’s racing history, learn how to read a Racing Form and try your hand at handicapping.
Placing Your Bet
The easiest way to place your bet or wager is at the counter. Let the teller know the following information:
- The racetrack (remember, you can bet on races at other tracks)
- The race number
- The dollar amount you want to bet
- The type of bet
- Your horse’s number
Ex. “At Santa Anita, third race, five dollars to win on number two.”
Types of Bets
There are many kinds of bets. But let’s start with the basic ones:
Win, Place and Show.
Win — If your horse finishes 1st, you win $$$.
Place — If your horse finishes 1st or 2nd, you win $$.
Show — If your horse finishes 1st, 2nd or 3rd, you win $.
Exotic Bets or Combination Wagers
Across the board — Three equal Win, Place and Show bets.
- If your horse finishes 1st, you win all three bets.
- If your horse finishes 2nd, you win on the Place and Show bets.
- If your horse finishes 3rd, you win on the Show bet.
Exacta — Pick two horses in one race. If they finish 1st and 2nd, in exact order, you win.
Quinella — Pick two horses. If they finish 1st or 2nd, in either order, you win. Also known as an Exacta Box.
Trifecta — Pick three horses. If they finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd, in exact order, you win.
Superfecta — Pick four horses. If they finish 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th, in exact order, you win.
Daily Double — Two specific races make up the Daily Double. Pick one horse in each race. If they finish 1st in both races, you win. You have to make your bet before the first race.
Pick 3 — Similar to the Daily Double, but for three consecutive races.
Pick 4 — Similar to the Daily Double, but for four consecutive races.

Pick 6 — The biggest bet you can make. Pick the winning horse in six consecutive races. If you win, you win big.
If no one picks all six winners, those picking 5 out of 6 will split 30% of the Pick Six pool. The remaining 70% “carries over” to the next racing day, and will continue to do so each day until someone correctly chooses 6 winners out of 6 races.
Watch and Win
After placing your bet, watch your horse run. If your horse comes in the money, sweet! But don’t plan on buying a private jet just yet. Wait until the race has been declared “official”. Then collect your winnings at any window.
