The 2025 film schedule is an enormous one for comedian guide films, because the model new DCU will lastly launch on the large display screen. There’s lots driving on the success of James Gunn’s Superman, however numerous followers are already wanting previous that and questioning what the long run holds for different upcoming DC films, just like the DCU’s Batman. We all know he’s coming, nevertheless it’s anyone’s guess what he’ll be like. Though, there are a stunning variety of followers who hope he seems like Alan Ritchson.
Whereas James Gunn has been clear that there shall be no casting till a script for the brand new Batman film, The Courageous and the Daring, is definitely accomplished, and all indications are that the script is much from accomplished, that hasn’t stopped followers from casting the position themselves. Contemplating that at this level, any actor is truthful recreation, a stunning quantity appeared to have determined that Reacher star Alan Ritchson is the way in which to go, and we not too long ago obtained much more fan artwork in help of the concept.

To be truthful, this picture, from SmartSheepArt, of Alan Ritchson as Batman, is a compelling argument for the concept that the actor would look good within the cape and cowl. Contemplating how a lot the costume covers the actor, I’m undecided anyone would look unhealthy as Batman, however Ritchson will surely make for a Darkish Knight that may instill worry within the unhealthy guys as he’d be essentially the most bodily imposing Batman we’ve ever had on display screen.
The curiosity in Alan Ritchson taking part in Batman/Bruce Wayne has made it to the actor himself. He’s been requested about his curiosity degree in taking part in Batman and he’s been very clear that he could be very concerned with taking part in the position. This has seemingly solely elevated the joy and the fan artwork amongst these followers.
And it wouldn’t be the primary time that followers’ pleasure over a possible casting led to that casting truly taking place. Rosario Dawson was a fan favourite to play a live-action Ahsoka Tano, and that in the end occurred when Dave Filoni’s Ahsoka collection arrived on Disney+. James Gunn and Courageous and the Daring director Andy Muscietti have nearly actually seen the curiosity in Alan Ritchson taking part in Batman, and it will likely be not possible for them to not not less than contemplate the chance when the time comes to really solid the position. Except there is a particular purpose {that a} bodily large Batman will not work, possibly it might occur.
In fact, when that casting choice will truly come is a big query. From all indications, The Courageous within the Daring is in one thing of a holding sample. Director Andy Muscietti has indicated he might direct one thing else earlier than doing the Batman movie, which suggests it will likely be some time earlier than we get there.
