For awhile now, some people have been wanting Batman to appear in the CW universe (the Flarrowverse OR Slarrowverse.) We have gotten easter eggs and references that prove that Batman is in fact in the Universe.

Now I have a story for you guys. A few months ago, me and my friend Andrew were talking about who should play Batman in the Flarrowverse. Now for the LONGEST time I always wanted Kevin Porter to play Batman because he is the REAL LIFE Batman.

For those who have no idea who he is… shame on you. He is used for alot of Batman short films (he’s done alot of amazing stuff with Bat in the Sun. watch “City of Scars” and “Truth of the Mask part two, he’s amazing in these. )

It is a TRAVESTY that Kevin’s portrayal of Batman has yet to be seen outside of the Internet. This man is BORN to play Batman on TV. I even talked to him about him being in the Flarrowverse and asked him what show he would want to be on and he told me he would want to be on “ARROW.”
Andrew told me that the CW needs someone that doesn’t outdo Tyler Hoechlin on the muscle front.

He said Scott Adkins would be a better choice to play Batman on TV.

For those of you who don’t know who he is, he is a actor affiliated with mostly B level movies. He also plays one of the most bad ass Russian fighters in movie history.
When I was told Scott Adkins was be a better choice, I was skeptical (mainly due to me being loyal to the idea of Kevin Porter as Batman). But, after seeing some of his fight scenes (watch the “Undisputed” movies, the fights are AMAZING!), I was amazed! He and Kevin Porter are now one of my top choices to play Bruce Wayne/Batman on TV. Adkins and Porter clearly show that they have the rage, skills, and physique to play Batman
Fun fact: People campaigned for Scott Adkins to play Batman for the DCEU, but that went to Ben Affleck. I’m still happy Ben is Batman! I also think Adkins was eyed to play Batman for the Dark Knight Trilogy.
What are your thoughts? Which of the these two actors would make a good TV Batman? What actor would you cast? Comment below!!
