The DC Characters The Boys Fans Want To See Karl Urban Play

In a discussion thread on Reddit, fans of "The Boys" began debating what other heroes or villains from the Marvel and DC Comics universes Karl Urban would play well. Although the suggestions were many, multiple fans voiced their opinions that Urban would be a great Batman. Redditor u/Rockydo noted that Urban could certainly play the Caped Crusader well but may struggle with the billionaire playboy alter ego that is part of Bruce Wayne's cover. A since-deleted user agreed that he would do well as Batman, with u/Fieshface noting that they'd pay good money to see Urban don the cowl and trash-talk Robert Pattinson, who recently debuted as the character, on-screen.

Other fans believe that Urban would excel more as Slade Wilson, aka Deathstroke. Redditor u/Sixclynder voiced that the actor would be great as the supervillain, while u/charlieholdsworth explained that before they knew anything about "The Boys,” they figured that Urban was playing "a sort of Deathstroke character."

It certainly seems more likely that Urban could play Deathstroke in a future DC project now that Warner Bros. Discovery is rumored to be shaking up its slate (via Variety). On the other hand, Batman is already about to be played by three different actors in the span of just over a year (via The New York Times) — making a fourth actor playing the character less probable. We'll keep you posted.
