Our Take On The Alan Ritchson As Batman Art
Seeing the concept of Ritchson as Batman through the new DC artmakes the idea of him joining the DCU as the next cinematic version of the Gotham City icon even more appealing. Having Ritchson star inThe Brave and The Boldmoviewould also allow the DCU to have a very distinct version of Batman from Robert Pattinson’s Elseworlds incarnation, as the two franchises will be happening at the same time. Hopefully, as DC Studios gets further into 2025, more updates about the casting process forThe Brave and The Boldwill start to roll out.
