Actor Robert Downey Jr. has had a long and super successful career. But his name will likely always be synonymous with Tony Stark/ Iron Man, as he was the first actor to start in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Given his acclaimed performance as an Avenger, there are other superheroes that fans could see him as. So what if Robert Downey Jr. had been cast as Batman?

While actors like Christian Bale and Robert Pattinson killed it as the Caped Crusader, I have to assume that RDJ would have brought the same charisma and heart to the role as he did with Iron Man. Now we can see what he’d look like as Batman thanks to fan art on Reddit, check it out:
