Karl Urban Says He's Open To Playing Batman! Would You Like To See Him Take on the Role?

Known for his roles in the Star Trek reboot films, Dredd, Thor: Ragnarok, and most recently Bent, Karl Urban has become a popular fan choice to replace Ben Affleck as Batman. With things unclear as to who will play the caped crusader in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, fans have been voicing their opinions and Urban is a name that keeps popping up. In a recent interview with JoBlo, this was brought to Urban’s attention and when asked about the possibility, he said he was open to the idea.

“Oh, really? Wow. I don’t know. I haven’t really contemplated that. Usually the way the process works for me is I get sent projects, sent scripts and I read them, meet with the filmmakers and really on that basis choose to get involved. As far as Batman goes, I guess my favorite Batman movie was THE DARK KNIGHT. Chris Nolan is just an extraordinary director and I thought Christian Bale was a fantastic Batman and obviously with such talent like Heath Ledger that was the perfect comic book movie right there.

So, I don’t know, I’m open to any and all opportunities.”

His pick for favorite Batman film comes as no surprise as many people I know would say the same thing. With him being open to the idea of playing Batman, this raises two major questions. First, would he fit Reeves’ vision for the Dark Knight? Also, do you think he’d be a good Batman?
