“You recognize, that may be a nice analogy, truly,” Ritchson continued. “However I imply, Batman has obtained like a cave, and Reacher does not also have a home. He is obtained a toothbrush. So, I believe Batman has obtained cool stuff. Dude is loaded and has caves, penthouses, and spotlights that decision him. Batman’s cooler.”
