We’ve got new Lanterns and a Superman that has made the role his own, but the one hero that fans are itching to see get a name attached to him in the DC Universe is Batman. As it stands, we’re still no closer to seeing a star don the pointy ears for The Brave and the Bold, the DCU Batman-focused film that will follow Bruce Wayne as he takes his own son Damien under his wing to become the new Robin. That doesn’t mean that DC Studios co-head, James Gunn, doesn’t have people in mind for the role.
Speaking to The Ringer-Verse about why the bat signal has yet to be lit, Gunn said, ”Do I have ideas about actors who could play Batman? Absolutely, I do. I have guys I like. I have guys that are top of the list for me, just like I had people that were at the top of the list for Superman.”
