Actor Wes Bentley is no stranger to comic book roles as he's already starred in Jonah Hex and Ghost Rider but if he had his wish, he'd land one more CBM role. A guest on the Larry King Now show, Bentley disclosed that he'd love to play Batman. "I did always want to play Batman. I liked Batman because he had no super powers."
There are unconfirmed rumors that Bentley was Christopher Nolan 's pick for Batman before WB went with Ben Affleck but those rumors were never substantiated by credible sources. With Affleck seemingly locked into the role for the next several DCEU films, it looks as if Bentley won't get his wish unless WB allows Batman to appear on one of the DC TV shows like Arrow or Gotham.
