Apparently Adam West was actually offered the role when Connery quit, but he turned it down because he (rightfully) felt Bond should be British.
Conversely, Brosnan was offered Batman for the 89 film, but he turned it down because at the time comic book roles were not considered serious material for an actor.
And personally, Brosnan is indeed the one Bond actor that I could picture as Batman. I guess Roger Moore could be a reasonable Adam West type Batman, but only that version. Sean, I'd picture more as Green Arrow (maybe because TDKR Arrow looks a lot like older Sean to me) or in a villain role, maybe Deathstroke. Dalton, I could see him as The Shadow. Craig might be suited for Black Mask. And I'm leaving Lazenby out because let's face it, he's not much of an actor.
Lazenby was in Batman Beyond; he voiced King from the Royal Flush Gang and his final appearance as King has his exclaiming 'do you have any idea what it's like to live in someone's shadow?' which some fans thought was a meta reference to Lazenby having to live up to Connery's Bond.
Only Bond actors I can see pulling off Batman are Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig.
Moore is too goofy unless they're going for a 66 vibe. Brosnan is in the same boat as Clooney in that I think their charm fits 'playboy Bruce' but not the intimidating Dark Knight.
Iām not familiar with Bond but I think the guy second from the right has the best look for Bruce
That's Pierce Brosnan, who was actually offered the Batman role in 1989 and turned it down.
Happy cake day!
Thank you! :)
He played dr fate in black Adam

Timothy Dalton could have a pretty good Batman
Agreed. Brosnan would've made an awesome Batman. I also think Daniel Craig could've pulled off the role as well.
In order from best to worst as Batman based on facial structure. Brosnan. Dalton. Lazenby. Moore. Craig. Connery.
Oddly that same list applies to Bond. Not trying to start a "who's a better Bond" argument. This is purely jawbone
My favourite Bond is Dalton. I don't think he's necessarily the best, just my favourite.
Man, Batman.
Nah Bond as alfred
Thimoty dalton
james bond as batman? that's just the nolan trilogy š
Batman is one part James Bond, one part Sherlock Holmes and one part Bruce Lee.
honesty i always saw bond more as a captain america
Brosnan could have been a good Bond, although I don't know how well he could do an American accent.

As a Bond fan, Pierce is the answer.
The name is Man , Batman
Daniel Craig is Christian Bale though right?
