Keanu Reeves Wants to Play Batman

The Matrix and John Wick star Keanu Reeves has revealed that he wants to play Batman in a live action film.

Speaking to Extra about playing the role in League of Super-Pets, Reeves said that, while Robert Pattinson is at the helm right now in The Batman, he'd love to take on the role himself one day.

"I love Batman as a character, and I love him in the comic books, in the films, so to get the opportunity to voice, to play Batman, was awesome."

When asked about playing a live action version, Reeves said "it's always been a dream, but Pattinson's got Batman right now. He's doing awesome. Maybe down the road. Maybe when they need an older Batman."

The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves and also starring Zoƫ Kravitz, was released earlier this year to strong commercial success and critical acclaim, with DC confirming that a sequel is on the way in April.

The cast and crew have shared what they'd like in a proper film sequel, though. Pattinson himself wants to see a take on the Court of Owls saga while director Matt Reeves hopes to bring Mr. Freeze to his dark and gritty Batman universe.

There's also two TV shows on the way: one focused on Colin Farrell's Penguin, and a Gotham PD series that tells a "haunted house" style story based in Arkham.
