Could LeBron James really pull off the role of Bruce Wayne?
James has expanded his brand and his interest over the years, slowing inserting himself into Hollywood and Madison Avenue when the role fits.
During his sit down with Rachel Nichols, James hinted at wanting to play the role of ‘Batman’ growing up as a kid.
“I always talked about it as a kid, and even as an adult,” James said. “I was like, ‘Wow, you know, I always wanted to be the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.’ And then when I got older, the Bad Boys movies, I was like, ‘I would love to do an action movie.’ Either be, like, a cop or something, or be, like, Batman. Hopefully I can do some more things. Maybe, we’ll see.”

James could easily be turned into a super human, crime fighting machine. We’ve been discussing a black James Bond for months now, how about a black Bruce Wayne?
