Playing the role of Batman is a dream for many Hollywood actors and Keanu Reeves is one of them. At the premiere of DC’s League of Super-Pets, Keanu Reeves told Extra that playing The Dark Knight in a live-action Batman project was always his dream.
While speaking to Extra’s Rachel Lindsay, Keanu Reeves was asked about whether he’d be open to playing a live-action Batman, rather than doing the voice for Batman as he does in DC League of Super-Pets.
Reeves responded:
"
I love Batman as a character and I love him in the comic books, in the films, so to get the opportunity to voice — to play — Batman was awesome. … It’s always been a dream, but [Robert] Pattinson’s got Batman right now and he’s doing awesome. Maybe down the road, maybe when they need an older Batman…
"
Reeves also spoke about his experience as Batman’s voice on the DC League of Super-Pets, saying that it was awesome to work with Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart for the project.
"
I have a small part in this film, a bit of a cameo, But even at that — just to be part of a project that Johnson and Kevin Hart are part of is awesome, and I got to play Batman.
