Warner Bros. announced the new DC Cinematic Universe, led by James Gunn, in January 2023, with the first film being Superman: Legacy , but a Batman movie also planned. Titled "The Brave and the Bold," the film will be set in a universe that's not Matt Reeves' "The Batman."
As a result, neither "The Batman" star Robert Pattinson nor "Justice League" actor Ben Affleck will play the character, and fans have come up with their own new casting choices, with the most popular The actor is Alan Ritchson, the actor who has recently been highly acclaimed in the American TV series "Jack Reacher", and he is also trying his best to win this role.
He told the American comics news outlet "The Fortress of Solitude": "Now there are a lot of rumors about me should play Batman. How can I refuse Batman? I really want to play Batman." Then he went on to talk about director Kay Ving Smith compared Batman to Jack Reacher, calling his Jack "Batman without the cape", and Ritchson agreed with the director.
He continued: "It's actually a good analogy. But, Batman has the Batcave, and Jack doesn't even have a house, just a toothbrush. I think Batman has a lot of cool stuff. He's very Rich, with a Batcave, a mansion and a spotlight that calls to him. Batman is much cooler [than Jack]."
Previously, Ritchson actually played Aquaman in the American TV series "Smallville" - Arthur Curry, so he actually has some affinity with DC and superheroes. He also co-starred in "Fast and Furious 10" with current Aquaman star Jason Momoa.
