The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare makes the case for Alan Ritchson to play Green Arrow.
Ritchson is one of the fan favorites to play Batman in the new DC Universe.
The actor said he would love to play the new Batman.
Alan Ritchson could join the DC Universe as another superhero that is not Batman, as the actor’s latest movie teases how good he would be as a major DC hero.
The DCU’s Chapter One has already had a few projects announced, and among them sits a reboot movie for Batman — The Brave and the Bold. While David Corenswet, the DCU’s Superman, is 30, Batman could be older than him as Bruce Wayne will be meeting and training his son Damian, the fourth male Robin. That makes it possible for the 41-year-old Ritchson to play Batman.
The actor has plenty of experience with DC. Ritchson has already played a major Justice League character in the past, giving life to Arthur Curry, aka Aquaman, in the Superman prequel series Smallville. More recently, the actor played a street-level DC hero, Hawk, in Titans.
Ritchson’s DC experience goes well with his hit Prime Video series Reacher. There are some similarities between Batman and Ritchson’s Jack Reacher, which helps make the case for his DCU casting as Bruce Wayne. However, Ritchson’s latest action movie teases that another hero might be the best role for the actor in DC’s announced movies.
Alan Ritchson’s The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare Role Makes Him A Perfect Green Arrow
Ritchson Has The Necessary Skills For Oliver Queen
Ritchson’s latest movie is an action flick with the signature flair of director Guy Ritchie. Ritchson plays Anders Lassen in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. The movie sees the actor get a good part of its most exciting action sequences, with Ritchson showing that his past experience with action roles has made him a bona fide star.
His character’s signature weapon is a bow and arrow. With Ritchson’s performance being a standout among The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare reviews, the character’s solid bow and arrow performance makes him a great candidate for the DCU’s Green Arrow.
Besides looking great with Oliver Queen’s signature weapon, Ritchson has the necessary skills to bring a great Green Arrow to life. The actor has plenty of roles that skew more comedic, something that is a must for the character.
Why Alan Ritchson Is A Popular Choice To Play The DC Universe’s Batman
There Are A Few Reasons For It
Some names have emerged as the favorites among fans to play the DCU’s Batman, which include Jensen Ackles, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Ritchson. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare actor became a popular pick for DC’s Dark Knight after Reacher season 2 premiered.
Ritchson’s second outing as Jack Reacher cemented that he would be perfect for Batman in a few different ways. Reacher’s hand-to-hand fighting prowess and detective skills show how Ritchson could portray an intimidating Batman.
The actor’s imposing physique lends itself well to the fancasting, as Ritchson’s Batman would be a brutal force for justice. In Reacher, there are multiple scenes where Ritchson’s character interrogates criminals in classic Batman fashion, using fear as a weapon to get answers.
Ritchson’s prior DC experience also helps make his case to play Batman in the DCU. The actor was solid as Aquaman in Smallville, playing one of DC’s biggest characters without feeling the pressure. In Titans, Ritchson played a nuanced veteran street-level hero perfectly, which could translate to how he would approach Batman in the DCU.
Batman has also been announced to appear in a DCU project, whereas Green Arrow’s involvement in the franchise has yet to be confirmed.
