James Gunn Clears Up DCU Batman Casting Rumors

James Gunn took over DC Comics’ cinematic enterprises – the DCU, for short – in November 2022. Since then, rumors have been as frequent as they are inaccurate. Lately, there has been much buzz on the internet surrounding the casting of Batman in Batman: The Brave and the Bold.In a post on Threads, Gunn replied to a fan who asked, “I’m assuming rumors about DCU Batman casting have no truth to them?” Gunn responded, “I don’t know what you’re talking about but we don’t even have a script, there’s a strike happening, so, no, no casting.” This comes in the wake of rampant internet conspiracy about who will play the next Caped Crusader in The Brave and the Bold. Gunn and Peter Safran, co-chair/co-CEO of DC Studios, are looking for an actor to portray the Dark Knight in his prime, somewhere between the versions played by Robert Pattinson and Ben Affleck.The Brave and the Bold is a very different sort of Batman project from the ones that audiences have seen on the big screen in recent years. Matt Reeve’s The Batman and the Snyder films starring Ben Affleck both show the World’s Greatest Detective as a mostly-solo operator. The same goes for the Christopher Nolan trilogy starring Christian Bale. However, James Gunn’s Batman film will see the return of Batman’s sidekick, Robin. The Brave and the Bold will follow Bruce Wayne and his son Damien as they fight crime together. It is still unclear whether the film will adapt the comics’ concept of the same name or if it will be another Age of Ultron situation where the only similarity is the title.RELATED: The Brave and The Bold Reinvents Joker and Batman’s First-Ever Battle
