Tom Hanks was THIS close to wearing a cape.
Every so often, the ceaseless internet rumor mill about superhero movies will inevitably turn its attention back to Tom Hanks. A landmark figure in the world of movie stars, Hanks has never shown up in this subgenre of cinema. Thus, devotees to features about caped crusaders have racked their brains to figure out what the best place for Hanks to make his inaugural appearance in superhero media would be.
Inevitably, this meant producers were now keen on Hanks putting on the costume and tackling Batman. It’s unclear just how close Hanks got to this role or how much favor he had with the producers of this project. There were a slew of other folks in contention for the part, with Ethan Hawke being somebody that the studio was especially keen on. Still, Tom Hanks was in the mix as a potential successor to Michael Keaton, though he never got the role, of course.
Why Hasn’t Tom Hanks Done a Superhero Movie? Superhero films dominate the modern cinematic discourse, but they are far from the only modern movies in existence. On the contrary, taking things on a global scale, superhero features comprised a very tiny sliver of all the movies made on an annual basis.
