If Alan Ritchson could play Batman, he would.

In an interview with Wired, the Reacher star was asked if he’s playing Batman.

“Would I play Batman? Yes,” Ritchson said. “Would I pay handsomely to be Batman? You wouldn’t even have to pay me to be Batman. I would don the suit.”

Ritchson even practiced his Batman voice and declared, “Gotham is mine.” The actor laughed and said, “Look at that. I don’t even have to practice. It just comes out naturally.”

Ritchson has been very open about his desire to play Bruce Wayne. In a 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ritchson explained that he loves the Batcave and that intelligence is Batman’s superpower.

“I would love to play Batman,” Ritchson told THR. “There, I said it. I’ll shout it from the rooftops. I want to be Bruce Wayne!”
