Alan Ritchson Transforms Into Batman For DCU—Fans Freak Over Stunning Dark Knight Art

In the world of DC Universe, it’s been revealed that actor Alan Ritchson, famously known for his role as Reacher, is stepping into the cape and cowl as Batman, according to new artwork for The Brave and The Bold. With DC Studios preparing to cast their own Batman for the upcoming DCU franchise, fans are eager to know who will don the mantle of the Caped Crusader in James Gunn’s superhero reboot.

Although Andy Muschietti is slated to direct “The Brave and The Bold,” the script is yet to be finalized, implying that DC Studios hasn’t initiated the casting process as of now. Since there’s no scheduled release date for “The Brave and The Bold” either, we’ll have to wait and see when DCU’s Dark Knight will make its appearance for the audience.

After the latest DCU updates by Gunn on The Brave and The Bold, Clements.Ink posted new artwork imagining Ritchson as the future live-action embodiment of the famous DC character, Batman. In the art, Ritchson is depicted in a full black Batman costume. Take a look at it below:

Ritchson is well-versed in the superhero genre; he played Arthur Curry, better known as Aquaman, on the Smallville TV show for multiple seasons of the Superman saga. Moreover, the lead from Reacher series made an appearance on Titans, where he brought Hank Hall, also known as Hawk, to life in the DC universe.

What The Alan Ritchson As Batman Art Means For The DCU

When it comes to selecting Batman for the upcoming movie “The Brave and The Bold,” there’s no question that this role will be highly coveted in Hollywood. In fact, the desire to land the part of Bruce Wayne is likely to be even greater due to the DC Universe (DCU) connection, which means the chosen actor could potentially feature in multiple DCU projects for an extended period.

Since Ritchson expresses his desire to play Batman, it’s no surprise that fans are advocating for him by creating artworks, urging the producers to consider him for the role. However, whether or not Ritchson will ultimately wear the cape and cowl in “The Brave and The Bold” is still uncertain.

Our Take On The Alan Ritchson As Batman Art

Given how fantastic Ritchson appears as Batman in the DCU artwork, it would be a real pity if the ex-DC star wasn’t even given a thought for The Brave and The Bold. As Ritchson has developed into an outstanding action lead throughout his career – a quality that is crucial for Batman – it seems only fitting that DC Studios should at least entertain the idea of him for the role.

With DC Studios diligently developing their Batman and Wonder Woman films, they are poised to undertake some of the most significant acting searches in the upcoming years. Fingers crossed, 2025 might mark the finish line for The Brave and The Bold script, paving the way for the hunt for the next Dark Knight to commence.
