The perfect Batman casting rumor comes to life in gritty DCU art

Alan Ritchson, celebrated for his recent portrayal in the Amazon Prime Video series Reacher, has thrown his hat into the ring to potentially don the iconic cape and cowl as Bruce Wayne, the legendary Batman, in the upcoming DC Universe. This casting speculation gained momentum with striking fan art shared by the talented @spdrmnkyxxiii on Instagram, envisioning Ritchson as a rugged and battle-worn Batman, complete with comic-accurate white eyes.

Having already contributed to the DC universe by playing Aquaman in Smallville and Hawk in Titans, Ritchson has established himself as a familiar face in the realm of DC heroes. The gritty fan art showcases Ritchson’s physical prowess, hinting at a unique and compelling addition to the roster of live-action actors who have taken on the mantle of the Dark Knight.

The anticipation for Ritchson’s potential portrayal comes in the context of the upcoming DC Universe movie, The Brave and the Bold. Directed by Andy Muschietti, known for his work on The Flash, this movie promises the return of Robin to the big screen after a significant hiatus since 1997’s Batman & Robin. The twist lies in the introduction of Damian Wayne, a fresh take on the Boy Wonder, who is set to make his live-action debut. Gunn, the mastermind behind The Brave and the Bold, has teased a storyline focused on Bruce Wayne discovering and connecting with Damian, with other members of the Bat-Family making appearances.

Muschietti, having directed The Flash, has already demonstrated his adeptness in handling Batman and Bruce Wayne scenes, as seen with both Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton in the aforementioned film. While the directorship is secured, the crucial role of Bruce Wayne remains unassigned. Although the movie is in its early stages and lacks a finalized script, the fan community is buzzing with speculation regarding potential actors for the coveted Batman role.

Among the fan-favorite fancasts for the DCU Batman, names like Jensen Ackles, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jake Gyllenhaal, and, of course, Alan Ritchson have surfaced. Ackles, particularly, has garnered significant attention and approval from fans. The Supernatural actor has expressed his enthusiasm for the role, stating, ‘I would love it. Sign me up.’

Ritchson, too, has expressed his eagerness to step into the iconic role, stating, ‘I would love to play Batman.’ However, with Gunn confirming that there is no finalized script for The Brave and the Bold yet, the definitive casting decision for the DCU’s Batman is a suspenseful aspect that fans eagerly await. As the casting speculation continues to swirl, the rebooted DC Universe holds the promise of an exciting and fresh take on the legendary Caped Crusader, with the chosen actor poised to leave an indelible mark on the character’s rich legacy.
