Reacher star Alan Ritchson is a fan-favorite choice to play Batman in the DCU – and the actor is all for it.

“The fact that people are interested in me playing Batman is a real honor and privilege,” Ritchson told thePost Cred Podcast. “It’s one of the first characters I fell in love with as a child: I still remember the big, long pistol coming out of Joker’s pants as he goes to shoot down the Batplane.”

Continued Richardson: “Those iconic moments really resonated with me as a child. For there to even be a conversation or a rumor mill surrounding this role, for me… all I can do is laugh. I just think it’s wild that’s where we are.I would love to. I would absolutely love to [play him].”
