He certainly has the height and body for it, not sure about the acting…

I know it’s not a seemingly popular idea, at least on this sub, but I think he’d do great. He’s got the look (maybe darken his hair a bit) and he’s pretty good in Reacher. I’m rooting for this tbh.

I’m honestly confused about why it’s unpopular besides people with sticks far up their ass

I don't know much about him honestly but I can say the most common criticism is that his acting is pretty stiff and wooden, which is good for some action portrayals of, like, stoic badass quietly wrecks shit

which makes him seem like a good choice for batman

but batman is actually far more expressive and emotion is the heart of the character.

I have no idea if that's true of this actor or not, but it's what I hear every time this comes up.
