Contest #5: I’m Not Not Batman
With Christian Bale’s newest Batman flick rocking the box office, it got one MM user thinking about who might or might not really be Batman. That user is Brendan, winner of last week’s contest and this week’s guest judge. He pitched an idea for this week’s contest, and we loved it. That means he’ll get to nominate his favorite entry to be in the finals.
This week’s contest is: Name the celebrity least likely to be Batman in real life. You must give a short (no more than a few sentences) argument for your answer. You can interpret the word celebrity loosely here; anyone who is well known qualifies, but we are limiting the answers to males celebrities. Also, unlike most weeks, you can only enter this week’s contest 3 times, so make them count.
You can enter the contest by clicking on Contest Entries (also located below) and leaving your answer there. By leaving an entry you are agreeing to the contest rules and terms. This week's prize is a $25 gift certificate to Amazon.com.
Like usual, our users will determine the winner. You can show your approval for the unBatman candidates in the Contest Entries section by clicking on the thumbs-up icon. Friday evening we'll put up a poll with 5 finalists. You'll have until 5pm EST on Sunday to vote. Good luck!
Contest Summary:
What you have to do: Name the celebrity least likely to be Batman in real life. (And tell us why.)
How to enter: Write your entry in the Contest Entries section.
Deadline: Friday, August 1st at 5pm EST
Prize: A $25 Amazon.com gift certificate
Announcement: This contest is closed. Feel free to continue to leave your answers here, but you'll be doing so strictly for our edification. Why don't you check out the latest update or contest?

George Clooney.
The way he played Batman was proof enough that it’s not him.

Keith Richards.
I’m pretty sure he was voted most likely to be mistaken for a zombie. I think that would make him poor candidate for the caped crusader.

Martin Short… he’d be trying to make people laugh instead of capturing them Plus the batman suit would be too big on him.
I blogged you here:

Even with his mask on, people will still be able to figure out who he really is!

James McAvoy…my fave but to little to be Batman…also too much humor.

Conan O’Brien…I think he might make a good Robin, but NO Batman!!

Danny Devito, he would never fit the costume.

Paul Reuben (aka Pee Wee Herman) I don’t think he’d take the task seriously and would probably insist on wearing a bowtie and screaming when someone said the magic word!

July 28th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
paul williams…..LOL! Remember him? You gotta look him up if not. He’d be a better penquin. Man was short and round and wrote smoopsy love songs…….

Celeb least like Batman…ummm how about Superman…Christopher Reeve.
Because he’s superman..and superman is NOTHING like Batman.
Seems logical to me…
[Reply to this comment]
July 28th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Robin Williams…he just couldn’t keep a straight face. Batman has that air of mystery around him and Robin couldn’t pull that off.
[Reply to this comment]
July 28th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Hmm I would have to say Zac Efron – he couldn’t be. Batman has this older, cool sophistication that comes with age.
[Reply to this comment]
July 28th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Heath Ledger. How could the joker be Batman, impossible. Plus… he’s dead.
[Reply to this comment]
July 28th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
What about RICHARD SIMMONs! His hair would fit in the outfit, and I wouldn’t be able to stop laughing!

John Candy, I know he’s deceased now, and definitely out of the running on that count – but he was a BIG guy, definitely not athletic enough for Batman.
[Reply to this comment]
July 28th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Now in case John Candy doesn’t count (well, he’s not alive in any case, but was the first person to come to mind), I’ll put in a second entry. Steve Martin – he’s hilarious, but has done too much goofy comedy to be Batman – who is always so serious and…stoic.
[Reply to this comment]
July 28th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Okay, one more…Chris Rock. Again – too comedic, and he’s black. A black batman would be a first, but not likely :).
[Reply to this comment]
July 28th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Woody Allen (comedian)
How could a persona so physically challenged and socially undesirable be Batman? Allen said as a child he was sent to an interfaith summer camp, where he was “savagely beaten by children of all races and creeds.” He wouldn’t be able to save himself let alone Gotham City!
[Reply to this comment]
July 28th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
Adam Sandler. I don’t think a comedian would play the role right.
[Reply to this comment]
July 28th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Dave Chappelle
When I scrolled down to this comment box Dave Chappelle immediately came to mind. Probably because he is a smoker – Batman strikes me as one health conscious dude. I suppose there is the whole weed thing as well.
Actually, I take that back I think he would make a great Batman.
[Reply to this comment]
July 28th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
I’m thinking John Madden. Batman doesn’t having one of those “drawing on the screen” thingies, and I’m pretty sure that’s all the technology John can handle.
And he’d be pretty funny in that suit. The ab plate would be beyond comical.
[Reply to this comment]
Jay Bryan reply on July 29th, 2008 10:30 pm:
Actually, John Madden on the telestrater would be great “BAM!”, “BANG!”, “POW!”.
[Reply to this comment]
July 28th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
I’m thinking Christian Bale. Because no one would expect the guy who plays Batman on television to -really- be Batman.
[Reply to this comment]
July 28th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Ron Jeremy. There’s no way he’d fit in that tight rubber suit.
[Reply to this comment]
lisa reply on July 30th, 2008 10:28 am:
i met him in real life on senior spring break….never saw his videos but based on his short shorts…i’d call it a myth…or all in proportion. he’s a tiny, hairy, little thing! but this answer is still funny so i’ll give it a thumbs up:)

Steven Cojocaru from Entertainment tonight, because he couldn’t find pumps to match his costume.
[Reply to this comment]
July 28th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Woody Allen, because the orphans of Gotham city would be afraid of him.

July 28th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Andy Dick…He is a guy, right?
[Reply to this comment]
July 28th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
Jack Black. I love him, but he’s too short, chubby, and rude. Batman needs to be suave and sexy…in and out of the suit.

R.E.D. reply on July 31st, 2008 1:31 pm:
Thanks for the support Agent Mammal and Padma but I just heard that due to unexpected budget cuts and the posts on this site, Verne Troyer WILL play the the bottom half of the Caped Crusader in, BATMAN:THE SHORT NIGHT(SIC) They are still casting for someone to be the top half. Rumors have it that, since he got booted off The Greatest American Dog, Tillman is on the short list.
R.E.D. reply on July 28th, 2008 3:47 pm:
Sorry, Eric, I didn’t see your post. My reason why he wouldn’t make a good batman is different, though, and I hope, for that reason, everyone will consider mine as an original entry.

Padma reply on July 28th, 2008 4:08 pm:
I agree. You can use the same person as long as your reason is different.

Carson Kressley…he’d more in likely change your wardrobe while your being attacked.

Donald Trump-not that he wouldn’t like to be mind you.Then again, the overall value of Wayne Manor would probably triple in value if the donald lived there.

Christopher Lee. Too tall and would be too overly dramatic.

i’ll say Adam Sandler. he’s way too goofy!

Hulk Hogan, strong but would probably scare everybody to death if he tried to rescue them.

July 28th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Bill Murray. He is just too goofy! I love him though. :)
[Reply to this comment]

Verne (Mini-Me) .. because he’s just to mini and I don’t think he would make a convincing super hero :)

David Hasselhoff. Sure he’s good at running on the beach and saving people from the ocean, but defeating the bad guys? I don’t think so. :-)

Andy Dick. Nuff said.
[Reply to this comment]
July 28th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Well, I’m gonna nominate Clint Eastwood. Because he’s so badass that he doesn’t need a secret identity to fight crime. He’d say “Give me a break with that rubber suit and just shoot the bad guy.”

Quentin Tarantino — all the people in his scripts drive Chevy’s, his characters are framed in doorways (when was the last time you saw Batman use a door?), and his first noted screenplay was entitled “Captain Peachfuzz and the Anchovy Bandit,” — need I say more?

George Michael… because he’s too busy polishing his knob to save anyone. Besides, he can’t even save himself.

Drew Carey. He totally doesn’t fit the image, plus he’s boring on The Price is Right, so I wouldn’t have hope for him in this role.

Gabe Kaplan…..can you imagine? Kotter would not make a superhero in any sense of the word

Geoge W. Bush, because great deduction isn’t really his thing, and because if he had an utility belt he would probably be a better President.

I’d have to go with Ray Romano…
First of all, I just can’t see batman with his nose…also, there would need to be some serious costume padding, because he’s pretty skinny. And then, just think of him saying “I’m Batman” and I think that just puts the nail in the coffin (that being said, I love him and think he is hilarious)
Fun contest!

Will Ferrell. He should just stop making movies.

Nicholas Cage because he sucks in all his movies (except for Adaptation). Plus, he’s usually kinda skinny and scaredy…not a good Batman.

Drew Carey. He would never fit into the costume.

July 29th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
I’d say my entry would be John Cusack. You can see from The Dark Knight that Batman isn’t a dog-lover. John Cusack – Must Love Dogs. I haven’t seen it, but I think Cusack is better at Being John Malkovich. Since it took Cusack – what? – five years to hook up with kate Beckinsale in Serendipity – what are his chances of catching The Joker, Two-Face, Catwoman, The Penguin or The Riddler?

Carrot Top would never do as Batman. He’s got the props and is buff enough now to take on most foes, but as Bruce Wayne he’d stand out like a beacon with that freckly white skin and curly red fro!

Well, since I’m watching him right now with my son, I’d say Mister Rogers. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s already a superhero just on his own, but he’d never be Batman in real life. 1) Batman’s too dark and Mister Rogers is all about making people feel better about themselves. 2) Batman uses violence to fix problems. I just can’t see Mister Rogers doing that. He’d explain to the villains how special they are just the way they are!
