In 2022, Reeves shared his experience with Extra magazine on voicing an animated version of Batman.

“I love Batman as a character and I love him in the comic books, in the films, so to get the opportunity to voice — to play — Batman was awesome.” adding that he’s open to play the older version of the character if the studios will look for one in the future.

Meanwhile, the Matrix actor has also made headlines after a recent rare appearance with his girlfriend Alexandra Grant at the 2024 MOCA Gala. The couple turned heads after they were photographed kissing with Reeves’ eyes wide open.
