Despite Robert Pattinson’s appearance as Batman in the DC Elseworld universe, Ritchson made his intentions known and threw his claim for the role. Ever since then, fans have been hoping for the actor to reportedly take over the mantle after Pattinson.
Meanwhile, following rumors and speculations about his potential role as Batman, Alan Ritchson grabbed people’s attention with his recent Instagram story. As per his social media post, Ritchson found himself in the midst of a telecom controversy involving a $208B telecommunication corporation, T-Mobile.
Alan Ritchson’s Dispute with Telecommunication Giant T-Mobile
Alan Ritchson, whose career spans acting, singing, and modeling, recently took to his social media to express his dissatisfaction with the telecom giant T-Mobile. The dispute arose when Ritchson received a notification from T-Mobile regarding his primary usage line being used internationally, allegedly against the terms set by the company.
This notification from T-Mobile prompted Alan Ritchson to take to social media to voice his dissatisfaction by sharing the received notification via Instagram story. The actor brought the issue to public notice, which directly sparked broader discussion on customer service standards within the telecom industry.
Despite T-Mobile being a prominent player in the industry boasting a $208 billion market value via Companies Market Cap, the telecommunication company’s issues related to service reliability, raised eyebrows. Further, following Alan Ritchson’s public stance against T-Mobile, the actor also disclosed his intention to switch providers in search of a more suitable telecommunications service.
Alan Ritchson’s Desire to Appear as Batman in James Gunn’s DCU
Apart from Alan Ritchson’s fallout with the telecommunication giant, the actor has also been making headlines and speculations surrounding his desire to play Batman. Although currently, Robert Pattinson is helming the role, according to reports from Marca, considering James Gunn’s plans to do a complete reboot of the live-action universe, there might be a chance for another actor to take over the mantle in Gunn’s reboot.
This led DC enthusiasts to fan-cast several great actors to be the new Bruce Wayne. One of the names that kept popping up is the Reacher star Alan Ritchson. Thus, following fans’ demands, even the actor made his intentions known during his interview with THR, wherein he shared his desire to play the Caped Crusader in Gunn’s DCU.
I would like to play Batman. There I said it! I’ll shout it from the rooftops. I want to be Bruce Wayne! Here’s the thing about Batman. You know what his superpower is? Intelligence. Dude is the smartest superhero there is. He’s inventive and he’s got all the gadgets but he’s super smart. I want to be that guy and also have a cave with supercars and also motorcycles.
Despite Alan Ritchson’s desire to play Batman, nothing has been confirmed so far by official sources, since James Gunn is currently busy with his Superman reboot. But in case Ritchson takes over the mantle previously helmed by Val Kilmer, Michael Keaton, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, and Robert Pattinson, he will be by far the most muscular and massive Batman ever. Moreover, Ritchson could undoubtedly bring an entirely new take with his combat skills on film, and mark his prominence.
