No Robert Pattinson! Fans Pick This ‘The Boys’ Character to Play Batman After James Gunn’s Surprising Announcements for the Future Projects

Fans have seen some of the most talented celebrities playing the iconic
superhero Batman over the years. While proving all the naysayers wrong, Robert
Pattinson pulled the character better than anyone ever imagined. The viewers
were left shocked after seeing his performance as a vengeance-driven shell and
praised the Twilight star for his intriguing approach to the role. However, with
the change of events in the DC Universe, fans are now picking a new portrayer.
And it is none another than one of your beloved characters from the megahit show
The Boys.



We all know that the American superhero drama has garnered massive fandom in the
last three seasons. The show brought some extremely talented actors who nailed
their roles as a team of eponymous vigilantes

moments in the series that they might never forget. Thus, this makes it quite
clear why people want to see one of them in the iconic superhero costume.

FANS REPLACE ROBERT PATTINSON WITH THE BOYS STAR AS BATMAN 

James Gunn is set to introduce fans to Batman’s son in the new project The Brave
and the Bold. The reports have revealed that the film will follow the
now-classic Batman run written by Grant Morrison. Since Robert Pattinson will
not be featured as Batman, this father-son story fans put their favorite options
for the character.



In a new tweet shared by Film Updates [https://twitter.com/FilmUpdates], they
asked Twitterati who would they want to see as the next Batman. In their
response to the intriguing question, most of the crowd hailed Jensen Ackles. The
44-year-old star is currently starring in The Boys franchise playing the role of
Solider Boy. Fans are crazy about this handsome man who stole the thunder of
other characters with his dynamic presence on the show.
