My only tattoo is… of a battarang from a Christopher Nolan film.

3 films.

The Dark Knight Trilogy.

It’s sharp, hurt like hell to sketch on my skin, then it got filled in at least 5 years later. And then, only lightly.

But that connects me to everyone in Batman Cinematic History. It took a while to compile the entire list. Well, actually, years of wondering who all it might entail and that mystery gave me plenty of solace at many a dark night…

But never have I compiled the list until I stopped waiting for the evening to watch films and opened up every hour of the day, anytime really, for a movie. For film.

Then it became necessary to hunt down who all is attached to my tattoo, and, with a few rules about not taking on anyone I didn’t like, I found… oh… 

60. Exactly 60.

60 high quality actors I’d like to take with me into the Bat Future. Into the Bat Cascade…

Into the KNIGHT.

And without further ado,

Any actor we like from Christopher Nolan films.

Because my bat tattoo came from his Batman trilogy.

Any actor we like from the Justice League and its films…
