by

Summary

  • Brandon Sklenar expressed interest in playing Batman in James Gunn’s upcoming DCU film.
  • Rumors suggest DC Studios may merge two Batman film franchises, potentially affecting casting choices.
  • Sklenar’s popularity for the Batman role is evident, with support from fans and co-stars alike.

A preferred actor for the role of Batman in the DC Universe, whose name has been frequently mentioned by fans, confirmed their eagerness to portray the Dark Knight in James Gunn’s “The Brave and the Bold“. They also clarified speculations suggesting they might be in line for a significant role within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

James Gunn announced that “Batman: The Brave and the Bold” was one of his first projects for DCU, but he didn’t reveal the full storyline. However, he did confirm that the movie would focus on Batman and his relationship with his son, Damian Wayne. Andy Muschietti, director of “The Flash,” is set to direct this film, which will feature a new actor as Batman so that Robert Pattinson’s version can exist in a separate universe created by Matt Reeves for “The Batman.” Fans have their favorite choices for the new Batman, and one popular pick seems eager to take on the role.

In an interview with The Playlist for the new season of Paramount Plus’ show 1923, Brandon Sklenar continued expressing his desire to portray DC Universe’s Batman. This topic arose when Sklenar was questioned about speculations suggesting he could play the main character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Nova series. Although Sklenar said these rumors were new information for him, he admitted that he had a scheduled meeting with Marvel Studios. Sklenar then voiced his admiration for Batman and emphasized it would be an ideal role. However, he also highlighted the significance of timing, despite being well-suited to play Batman.

I’ve noticed plenty of fan suggestions for “The Bave & The Bold” and that intrigues me, as I’m a big Batman fan. That would certainly be a dream come true, no doubt about it. However, we’ll have to wait and see what unfolds. It needs to align perfectly with the circumstances for it to be right.

Fans have been favoring Sklenar for the Batman role, with one fan artist illustrating him as the Caped Crusader. In response to the artwork, Sklenar expressed his approval. Moreover, his “This Ends with Us” co-star Blake Lively suggested that director Gunn should fulfill the fans’ desire by casting Sklenar as Batman. However, it’s worth noting that Sklenar isn’t the only fan-favorite for the DCU’s Batman role. Actors like Alan Ritchson from “Reacher” and Jensen Ackles from “Supernatural” are also heavily supported by fans for the part.

It appears that fans are finding the release of “Batman: The Brave and the Bold” taking more time than anticipated. Whispers suggest this delay might be due to Warner Bros. and DC Studios pondering over whether to merge Pattinson’s Batman into the DC Universe, instead of having two distinct Batman film series. Initially, Gunn and Reeves maintained that Pattinson’s Batman would stand apart from the DCU, but their recent comments have sparked rumors that DC Studios might be reconsidering this stance. If these rumors hold true, it means potential candidates for the Batman role may miss out on the opportunity.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold is in development at DC Studios.
