10 Actors Who Could Be The Batman We Deserve
3. Ryan Gosling
Ryan Gosling is another name that was linked with the cape and cowl when Warner Bros was seeking a successor to Christian Bale. He would have been a fine choice, but reports at the time suggest he declined the role because he doesn't do sequels.
Fast forward several years and Gosling's stance on follow-ups appears to have softened, given that he headed up Blade Runner 2049 last year, so would he now entertain the notion of joining a major superhero franchise?
Possibly not, but DC would be stupid not to ask. His ability to flit between rough-edged heartthrob and menacing protector at the drop of a hat in Drive is all the proof you need that he would make a stellar Caped Crusader.
Perhaps Gosling one of those actors who's better off sticking to unique movies, rather than blockbuster franchises, but there's no denying that he would bring something special to Batman, as well as oodles of star power.
