Debate on Alan Ritchson as DCU Batman Grows

Alan Ritchson, known for his role in 'Reacher,' has been frequently discussed as a potential candidate to play Batman in the DC Universe, with strong support from his co-star Roberto Montesinos. Montesinos praised Ritchson's physicality, work ethic, and ability to convey complex emotions through subtle facial expressions, arguing that these qualities make him a perfect fit for the stoic and complex character of Batman. Despite James Gunn's previous comments suggesting Ritchson is not in consideration for the role, fan campaigns and Ritchson's own interest keep his name in discussions. Ritchson, who has portrayed superheroes before, expressed his eagerness and willingness to take on the role without compensation, highlighting his passion for the character. The casting for the new Batman in 'The Brave and the Bold' is still undecided, leaving open possibilities for Ritchson and other hopefuls.
