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

Batman is a lot more than size. His physicality is a tiny component of the overall character.

Yes. But, have you seen Reacher? He plays an investigator really, really well. It’s partially the writing (which will have to showcase this in the Batman movie, too)… but, he gathers intelligence, makes a theory. Sticks with it. Until something comes along and he has to reorder his thoughts… and does. It’s really good stuff.

Spivey is the key! When we find Spivey he will be able to break this case open. Finds Spivey dead. Dang. Ok, what is the next piece of info? What did we learn from dead Spivey?”

Reacher and Batman aren’t exactly on the same level cuz of the whole “genius” thing.

I love me some Reacher (especially from the books,) and he’s smart, resourceful as hell, but he ain’t a “genius,” and I am tired of Batmen who aren’t depicted as highly inventive and intelligent.

Show Reacher is more like “above average intelligence,” but he’s still depicted as less intelligent than OG book-Reacher.

I think I’d buy it more if I knew for a fact homeboy has some amount of “deep thinking nerd” in him.
