There’s a new Batman in town! Armie Hammer will step into Christian Bale’s role of Batman in the new Justice League Movie. But Armie says he isn’t trying to go up against Christian Bale’s Batman character. “That guy’s got his s–t down,” Hammer says of Bale.
Hammer says there is a difference in the two batmans though. “My codpiece is bigger,” he said with a laugh the other day from Vancouver, where he’s shooting the CW’s The Reaper . Armie plays the son of the devil.
They were supposed to shoot in Australia, where Hammer and his castmates suffered through several months of physical training.
“I would spend hours training with actual guns to prepare me for this stuff,” Hammer said. “It was very intense. Our workout regimens were so rigorous that most of us would vomit.”
He added, “We weren’t trying to get ourselves aesthetically good looking. We were trying to get ready for the demands of shooting.”
Hammer, 22, is the great-grandson of oil tycoon Armand Hammer. He is 6′5, and definitely has that special “star quality”.
Armie Hammer has already had his batman costume fittings, which he says features functioning equipment, includingBatman weapons like spring-loaded titanium Bat-erangs. “I was looking down, and I was thinking, This is the best,” Hammer said of the first time he put on the entire ensemble. “Then I stood up, and they turned me around, and I faced a mirror—there was Batman. But then it hit me like a ton of bricks—it’s not just Batman, it’s me!”
Currently Hammer is in the independent film, “Billy”, where he plays Rev. Billy Graham.
Hammer hasn’t met the 89-year-old Graham yet, but he’s been told the movie has his blessing.
“It’s one of the more terrifying and intimidating things,” Hammer said about playing arguably the world’s most famous Christian evangelist. “If I go up there and portray Billy Graham not exactly as Billy Graham, there are a billion people on this planet who will say, ‘That’s not Billy Graham!’ “
