'Superman & Lois' Star Could Be the DCU’s Next Dark Knight
So, why not? Hoechlin already has superhero experience and charisma.
Honestly, I never expected to hear Tyler Hoechlin talking about playing Batman, but now that he has, I’m kind of into the idea. The guy already stars as Superman in Superman & Lois, and his take has been one of the most comic-accurate and endearing versions of the Man of Steel in recent years.
At Fan EXPO Canada, Hoechlin didn’t hold back:
"Well, selfishly, I'm going to say no because I still want to play Batman. I think and I say that Rob did a fantastic, fantastic job and [with] Matt Reeves it was great. So I'm happy to let them keep doing their thing, and maybe leave the door open for maybe an additional whole new envisioning of Batman versus Superman."
I love that he respects Robert Pattinson’s Batman but is also open to a new take. If the DCU decides to go this route, I could actually see Hoechlin winning fans over as a fresh, compelling Dark Knight while still keeping his Superman legacy intact.
