Alan Ritchson Downplays DCU Batman Chances After Talks With James Gunn

He signaled interest in another DC role with formal casting for The Brave and the Bold still unannounced.

Overview

  • In a Variety interview, Ritchson said words have been exchanged about Batman but he strongly does not think the role is in his future.
  • He added that he believes there is something in his future with DC even if it is not Batman.
  • James Gunn has called himself a big fan of Ritchson yet has emphasized that no Batman casting decisions have been made.
  • The DCU’s Batman has already appeared briefly in a Creature Commandos flashback.
  • Gunn’s Batman-and-Robin film features an older Bruce Wayne introducing Damian Wayne and is being timed to avoid overlap with Matt Reeves’ separate The Batman Part II.
