The "Keanussaince" is still alive and well and months following the release of The Matrix Resurrections, Hollywood icon Keanu Reeves is headed back to the DC universe to voice the one and only caped crusader in the upcoming 3D-animated film DC League of Super-Pets.
The project serves as Keanu's homecoming as he famously portrayed Constantine in 2005. While he's expressed his interest in reprising his role as the occult detective, fans have been fan-casting the actor in other high-profile franchises, including Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The 57-year-old star previously revealed that he was once in talks with Marvel Studios but shockingly enough, they've yet to find a project that would appeal to him. Admittedly, Keanu has always had his sights set on playing a beloved comic book character in live-action and it's a casting idea we never knew we needed to see until now.
Speaking with Extra, Keanu revealed that playing Batman in live-action is something he's always wanted to do. In fact, he's actually interested in playing an older version of the Dark Knight. "It's always been a dream, but [Robert] Pattinson's got Batman right now and he's doing awesome, so maybe down the road. Maybe when they need an older Batman."

When you think about it, Keanu possesses Bruce Wayne's charisma and mystique, as well as Batman's badassery that would have made him a no-brainer choice to portray character over two decades ago. Well, considering DC is currently exploring a lot of "elseworld" stories, there's still probably a chance for Keanu to fulfill his wish.
DC League of Super-Pets hits theaters on July 29th.
