Eh, my attempt to make it 1920x421:

Well, nevermind, my version was from somewhere else, the other version posted here already is much better quality.

Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner... really? I don't see it.

Yes, because Edward Norton was the best Bruce Banner ever.

I thought Eric Bana made a good Bruce Banner, and thought, again, that Ledger would make a terrible Joker.

Then I saw TDK. You can't judge a book by its cover. Evans did a good Cap, Downey did a great Iron Man, Hemsworth was great as Thor. I mean, let's be realistic. Sony's best casting choice for all of their Marvel movies was Tobey MacGuire as Peter Parker. Marvel's 4/4 so far with casting choices on the Heroes (and I'm counting Renner as Hawkeye).

You can argue all you want, but when I picture Bruce Banner, I don't see someone who has any form physique or physical prowess. I see this...

if anything, someone like Jeremy Davies would play a better Banner imo

Don't care about Banner as much, so long as Hulk is badass, but still able to speak normally like in say World War Hulk.

In a recent interview with The LA Times Marvel Studio's Kevin Feige offered up a few more details on how they are approaching The Hulk and Bruce Banner played by Mark Ruffalo in The Avengers. We recently saw an artists rendition of the new Hulk design from Comic-Con. It sounds like they've finally nailed this character down.

On the new visual realization of The Hulk:

It will be as different as ”The Incredible Hulk” was from Ang Lee’s “Hulk” in terms of its look and design, but it is Hulk. The image we released on the last day of Comic-Con — which got a tremendous amount of attention and I was very pleased about — is a very good representation of what he’s going to look like. Hulk is Hulk. We’re not going to reinvent the wheel.

On how big the The Hulk will be:

He’ll be about the same size he was in “The Incredible Hulk” [which was about 9 feet tall] or maybe a little bit smaller. His muscles won’t be quite as cut. We figure he’s been the Hulk now for a few years and [his physique is changing]. He’s not as cut or as ripped as he was in “The Incredible Hulk.” The most important thing is that face. As you can already see in that concept painting, it is — more than any Hulk that’s ever been done in live action — a Hulk that let’s you see the actor in there. You will be able to see Ruffalo in there. That was a big revelation for us. It’s just a concept painting, but in that you can see the [influence of Marvel Comics pioneer and original Hulk artist Jack] Kirby, as people have already pointed out, but also, and equally important in this case, Ruffalo’s eyes and his cheek structure. It is him.

On the different approach for The Hulk than the Louis Letterrier film:

It was something we actively avoided before. Hulk was Hulk, he’s not any one actor and Hulk should look like Hulk. It was like Iron Man’s armor, in a way, it wouldn’t change depending on the actor wearing it. But we’ve taken a different approach because Hulk is Banner and, frankly, we came to question our approach. Why are we not doing it this way? So we did a few designs that put Ruffalo into it, and we immediately saw how much more you feel for the creature. When you keep that connection going between Banner and the Hulk and you have characters around him trying to reach Banner inside — “Bruce, calm down,” and all of that classic Hulk stuff — it means more if you see the same actor throughout. I think before it was something we thought might look silly. We were nervous about getting it good enough [via visual effects] to work. Frankly, it was the same way we were nervous early on about making Steve Rogers skinny for “Captain America.” Is this going to look disturbing? Is this going to look silly? In the end, we got that one right. We’re going to get this one right.

It sounds like they completely naid The Hulk character this time around. I can't wait to see this new Hulk in action smashing things in The Avengers.

Mark Ruffalo seems pretty par for the course to me
