Benedict Cumberbatch has revealed that he wants to play the role of Batman.
The 'Sherlock' star said that he would love to swap his deerstalker hat for a long dark cape to fight crime as Batman, the Daily Star reported.

Cumberbatch added that he doesn't think he could even if that was on the cards, though it sounds like a fantastic project and its a shame if he misses out.
