Then fans begin shouting from the rooftops that Alan Ritchson should play Batman in the DC Universe. It’s not hard to see why fans want Ritchson as the DCU’s Batman. Alan Ritchson already plays Batman on Reacher, just without the mask. It would be great to see Ritchson in the DCU, just not as Batman. Ritchson doesn’t need to play Reacher in a batsuit.
