Nick Jonas is a man of many talents, but does the former Disney star have what it takes to pull off playing the Dark Knight?


Now that Ben Affleck's tenure as Bruce Wayne is officially over, the search is on for the new star of the upcoming Batman redux from writer/director Matt Reeves.

Simply called The Batman, the film, which is slated to hit theaters in 2021, is rumored to focus around a younger Bruce Wayne.

So who could pull off a younger version of the dark, brooding, and tormented character?

How about Disney alum Nick Jonas?

After posting a picture of the Dark Knight on Instagram, Hypebeast asked fans who they thought should take over the role of Batman for the upcoming film.

The 26-year-old singer songwriter threw his hat in the ring, commenting "First name Nick. Last name Jonas."



There is no telling if Jonas was serious about his interest in the role but fans certainly had their opinions about the idea of him putting the cape and cowl.

People seemed to consider Jonas about as dark and brooding as an episode of Dora the Explorer and most couldn't seriously see him taking over.








There might still be a part for Jonas in the upcoming film though, if Batman's faithful sidekick happens to make an appearance.





Based on the reactions, we likely won't be seeing Jonas behind the mask any time soon, but fans had plenty of other ideas as to who could take on the role.





Though some of us are still holding out hope though for the return of the darkest knight to ever play the part.

Lindsey Graham Sparks Fury After Suggesting That Trump Could Be The Next Pope

After President Donald Trump jokingly told reporters that he'd "like to be pope" following the death of Pope Francis, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham threw himself behind Trump's remarks, which came after Trump already raised the ire of critics for seemingly falling asleep at the Pope's funeral.

Trump said that he himself "would be my number one choice" to be the next pope after he was asked who he’d like to see become the next pontiff. That would never, ever happen—and disrespects the billions of Catholics around the world who are in mourning—but Graham suggested it was a good idea in a post on X.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
