With this kind of commitment, it's easy to see why even Ritchson's costars think he should play Batman. Fans have been campaigning to get Ritchson cast as the Dark Knight, and even his "Reacher" costar Roberto Montesinos has made it clear he thinks those fans have a good idea.

"That's interesting," Alan Ritchson tells Men's Journal when asked about the possibility of taking his version of Reacher to the big screen. "I can't speak to movies. I enjoy the format that we've got so much, and it works so well where we do a book a season. I think eight episodes seem to be the perfect amount of time to break out a book."
