After the announcement of a new Dark Knight In James Gunn’s remodeled DC Extended Universe, there have been many actors that fans have imagined to play the iconic Bruce Wayne.

However, it seems that there is someone who, very early on, has started a support campaign with the goal of becoming the new guardian of Gotham: Alan Ritchson.

The American actor, who rose to world fame thanks to his leading role in the Reacher series, revealed several months ago that he would love to become Batman. Well, now, speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor has taken action and it seems that he has begun to actively request a casting test from James Gunn and Andy Muschietti.

“I would love to play Batman. That’s it, I’ve said it, okay? I’ll shout it from the rooftops: ‘I want to be Bruce Wayne! This is the thing about Batman.

Do you know what his superpower is? Intelligence. It’s “The smartest superhero there is. He’s inventive, and he has all the gadgets, but he’s super smart. I want to be that guy. And also have a cave with incredible hypercars, sports cars, and motorcycles.”

It is clear that Ritchson, regardless of these words, seems to be one of the clearest candidates for fans to become the new Bat-Man. His physical build is ideal for Bruce Wayne and his performance in Reacher has helped make him a clear candidate for the role.

However, to obtain this role, it seems that we will have to wait patiently, since, as James Gunn commented a few months ago, Batman’s appearance in Gods and Monsters is not yet contemplated beyond his own film with Robin.

Therefore, we will have to pay attention to official DC announcements to learn more about this highly anticipated film.
