A lot of Batman fans are hoping Paul Anthony Kelly will be cast as Bruce Wayne in the upcoming DC Universe (DCU). Kelly recently starred in the series Love Story, where he played JFK Jr. He’s just one of several actors fans have suggested for the role, with Brandon Sklenar and Alan Ritchson also being popular choices.
Paul Anthony Kelly is the latest choice for Batman in DCU
Paul Anthony Kelly, currently known for playing JFK Jr. in the FX show Love Story, is a popular pick among Batman fans to portray the character in James Gunn’s new DC Universe.
Fans began talking about how Kelly would be a great choice to play Batman in James Gunn’s upcoming film, The Brave and the Bold.
Someone on X (formerly Twitter) posted a clip of Kelly’s interview with Entertainment Tonight, commenting that if he were cast as Batman, the character’s appearance would likely be redesigned to resemble him. They added, “Wow.”
A user on X posted a video comparing scenes featuring Paul Kelly from the movie Love Story with images of Batman from the comics, playfully suggesting that the comparison makes a compelling case for Kelly being a good fit to play Batman.
Critic Grace Randolph was impressed with Ryan Murphy’s casting choices for Love Story, specifically praising Paul Anthony Kelly. She wondered how Murphy consistently finds such talented actors, even suggesting Kelly could be a good Batman. In a separate tweet, Randolph declared that Kelly ‘TOTALLY’ embodies the persona of Bruce Wayne.
User @blurayangel jokingly referred to Paul Kelly’s audition tape for Batman as being similar to the first season of the show Love Story, tweeting, “#NowWatching Paul Kelly’s audition for Batman…I mean LOVE STORY Season 1.”
Lukasz Stanek commented on Randolph’s post, saying it looked good and that Bruce Wayne should have that classic, established wealth aesthetic.
One user drew a comparison between Kelly and Robert Pattinson’s portrayal of Batman in Matt Reeves’ film, joking about how the character seems to find people like him. They then added that Kelly could realistically be the next Batman, even looking more the part than Pattinson did.
Even though fans have suggested many actors, we still don’t know who will play Batman in the upcoming movie, The Brave and the Bold.
