Awkward! Remember When Ryan Gosling Was Dumbfounded When Asked if He’d Like to Play Batman?

Ryan Gosling is one actor who, ever since the beginning, has maintained
versatility in his characters. Despite being a part of the industry ever since
he was a child, Gosling did not jump at the opportunity of being a part of a big
movie franchise. The actor has step by step with every brilliant movie choice
drilled deep into our heads the fact that he is one of the most excellent
performers in the industry.



Given how the actor always likes versatility, the indie movie star was asked if
he would be up for playing Batman in the DC Extended Universe and let’s just say
his reaction was not on a par with Henry Cavill jumping up and down after he was
chosen as Superman.


DOES RYAN GOSLING WANT TO PLAY BATMAN?

The actor has morphed seamlessly into every character he has taken up, be it a
hopeless romantic or super-doll’s boyfriend. And given the chokehold grip
Superhero movies have on us, fans wanted to know if Gosling would be down to
step into the DC universe as Batman. It was in 2018 when Ryan Gosling was
basking in the success of the Neil Armstrong biographical film, First Man. In an
interview
[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/cast-first-man-telling-untold-story-neil-armstrong-watch-1140157/]
at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2018, Ryan Gosling had a very
questioning response when asked about taking on the role of Batman.



The character of Batman in the DC Universe has a rich heritage. While at the
time Robert Pattinson had not dawned the costume, it already had the imprint of
great actors like Michael Keaton, Adam West, Christian Bale, and Ben Affleck.

Given the heritage, we were all expecting an “I’m ready when you are” response
to DC from Ryan Gosling. Now we agree that expecting his eyes to light up at the
mention of Batman is unrealistic.

But the actor got so awkward in his attempt to find a respectful way to say that
he wasn’t looking to play the role that he didn’t even answer the question.
Instead, Gosling slid it into Damien Chazelle’s bucket. The irony being the fact
that Chazelle is not even an actor. However, luckily for the La La Land actor,
the director knew just the right way to answer the question. “Neil Armstrong is
the real-life superhero, so you know..” Gosling may be a superstar, but he isn’t
stepping into superhero costumes anytime soon.

Do you think Ryan Gosling would have done a good job as Batman? Let us know in
the comments below.

Ryan Gosling is a superstar, but the actor is not too keen on playing a superhero. More specifically, Batman from the DC Universe.
