We should be thankful that they didn't go the route Snyder originally wanted with a much older Batman. That would have never gone down well with a mainstream audience. Did not know either of them were being considered for it, but yeah they'd be weird. It's like at least half the people being considered for the Batman role were some other comic book character at some point.
