I wouldn’t have associated him, either, but if someone had told me “this is the actor who will play the next Doctor,” I would have thought “good choice.” And I think that points to how well-developed he is as a character that he’s distinguishable in spite of the fact that, as written, he assumes a new form with each generation. The other characters are all supposed to have fixed appearances, yet there’s nothing about most of their composites that scream “Peter Parker” or “Bruce Wayne.” They’re all more or less the same character—“good-looking person who fights crime.”
