With James Gunn’s DC Universe in its early days, fans are wondering how it’ll differ from the Zack Snyder era and the DC Extended Universe. In addition, they’re curious about what’ll change from the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight Trilogy. Coincidentally, Nolan’s writer on that project, David S. Goyer, has been sharing insight into the DC movies he worked on. For example, he’s confirmed Warner Bros. rushed Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League — something everyone knows by now.Plus, he’s dropped insight into the Nolan castings, confirming he wanted Jake Gyllenhaal as Batman. Interestingly, Goyer revealed WB tried to push Leonardo DiCaprio as Riddler for The Dark Knight Rises. However, as enticing as that would have been, fans actually campaigned for a much better choice over a decade ago.DiCaprio, at the time, had a lot of star power. Honestly, he’s always maintained his Hollywood clout and does fit that auteur, artistic vision of Nolan. But Riddler requires a certain flamboyance, which he lacks. He has done comedic roles since, like The Wolf of Wall Street, but The Riddler — at least back then — didn’t require that sort of intensity he was known for. In fact, it’d have been too close to what Heath Ledger did as Joker: playing games, cryptic puzzles and having fun with Christian Bale’s Batman.RELATED: James Gunn Confirms DCU Timeline Placement for Creature Commandos, Superman: LegacyRELATED: The DCEU Could Have Fixed Its Justice League Problem With One Tweak
