In case you are wondering who, well it is none other than Nick Jonas! As incredulous as it sounds, the actor actually commented his name in an Instagram post that was debating on who should play the next Batman. Taking to the photo-sharing platform, he simply commented, "First name Nick. Last name Jonas." 

Now, it is almost certain that he just commented it as a joke, but now one can't help but wonder if he's playing the Dark Knight, then Priyanka Chopra is the obvious choice for Catwoman. Well, some netizens felt so too as they pointed out this observation after Nick commented on the post. Other than the international singing sensation, a lot of names were dropped in the comments for playing the iconic superhero such as Tom Hardy, Armie Hammer and of course everyone's favourite Christian Bale, who is still considered one of the best in this role.
