You DO know who Anthony Bourdain is, right? He is a sort of rockstar chef (who rarely cooks anymore), a writer, a world traveler, and a madman, who used to host No Reservations on the Travel Channel, but now he hosts Parts Unknown on CNN. Before any of you grab me by my bat cowl and drag me outside to Bane me over your knee, I need to say, I tested this theory out on my Twitter and Facebook, and it got a lot of love.
If you don’t know who Bourdain is, this idea might not work for you at all, but to anyone who is a fan of his, when I say this, their faces light up. He already has the worldly part down. He has the snarky, confident part down. He knows what it’s like to have to deal with strange, creepy, odd people, and he is a former addict, so he knows about loss and pain.
But on top of that, and the main factor that made me pick him is, he just seems like he could be motherf*cking Batman in real life. He is just one of those guys that has that kind of energy about him. Granted, would this Bruce Wayne be as “technically” handsome as the ones we are used to? No. But you know what? This is an older Batman, more experienced, more aware of his world and his own mortality, and for that reason alone, there would be no one more fitting to don that Batman cowl than Anthony Bourdain.
