Best known for playing Ser Jorah on the HBO show Game of Thrones, Glen will play Bruce Wayne on Titans according to Deadline.
The 57-year-old has a long history of television roles, having appeared in Downton Abbey, Doctor Who and Mrs Wilson.
The official description of Glen's role on Titans, which enters its second season later this year, reads: "After decades of fighting crime as Batman, billionaire Bruce Wayne is just as driven to protect Gotham from evil as he was in his prime.
"Needing to reconcile his relationship with Dick Grayson, the duo hope to forge a new dynamic as Bruce tries to help his former sidekick and the Titans achieve success.”
Titans follows Batman's former sidekick, Robin (Brenton Thwaites as Dick Grayson), who leads a superhero squad, including the alien princess Starfire (Anna Diop), mysterious empath Raven (Teagan Croft), and shape-shifter Beast Boy (Ryan Potter). Esai Morales has also joined the series, with the actor playing the villain Deathstroke.
