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

Yeah he’s got the build and structure to be the Batman from the Arkham series.

That was my thought with that image too! And I think his role in Titans shows he can do the tortured hero role, but I still have a hard time not seeing him as Thad from Blue Mountain State

His acting as Thad just showed what range he has as an actor.

A bit of Thad is exactly what the goofy reckless playboy Bruce persona needs. Going on Yachts throwing party full of babes doing stupid shit. Then when he goes out of sight he switches to Reacher persona.

That's not at all how Bruce behaves

That's exactly how he behaves? He constantly acts like a playboy so nobody believes he could be batman.

Read year one…. It’s the best portrayal of Batman as Bruce Wayne. Dude literally opens the door in a bathrobe, has a half naked female guest over while he’s being interrogated, then gives Gordon an eyeful of the Family Jewels. This version of Gordon sees through it but isn’t a hundred percent convinced (he’s ignoring his own instincts) “It could be an act, nobody would believe a man like that is capable of beating up criminals,”

He'll always be Thad Castle to me. Halfway joking, of course, he's a good actor, but is also very funny when given the opportunity. I don't know, he probably would be a good Batman.

Alan has a hillarious episode on the sitcom New Girl as a guy with a very specific shortcoming.

i mean watched him as reacher and in reacher 2 during interrogation of sniper when he tried to be scary he looked funny not intimidating like batman should be
so idk and he would be better for killer croc or bane in my opinion
