7 Actors Who Can Play Batman In The Arrowverse

7) Jay Ryan

Jay Ryan is another CW alumnus who could be in the run for the Batman gig, especially since Beauty & the Beast has ended. We haven’t seen him in much lately so the New Zealand-born actor should be available if the network requires his services. While he might not be everyone’s first pick, it’s entirely believable that the producers could approach him in the event that the Bruce Wayne appearance is relatively small – which, in all honesty, it appears like it will be.

Standing at six foot two and possessing striking good looks, Ryan is no stranger to the dark and brooding roles, having grimaced and pouted his way through four seasons of Beauty & the Beast. If anything, his appearance would send the teenage girls into delirium, seeing the former heartthrob make his return to primetime TV as the world’s – or at least Gotham’s – most eligible bachelor.

Once again, we must reiterate that Ryan will probably not be anyone’s first choice. However, as we’ve often discovered with these sorts of things, it’s these kind of actors who end up securing the roles anyway, due to scheduling conflicts, pricing, and previous connections. Nonetheless, we could get used to Ryan as Wayne/Batman.
