James Gunn has ideas for who should play Batman in DCU

DC co-CEO James Gunn recently talked about Batman’s casting in the DCU in an episode of The Ringer-Verse podcast.

Although Gunn didn’t take any names, he conveyed that he has an idea about actors he would want to see play Batman. “I have guys I like. I have guys that are at the top of the list, just like I had people that were at the top of the list for Superman. But let me tell you something, they aren’t David Corenswet, right? They didn’t get the job. People can guess, and maybe they’ll be right about certain things. I don’t know.”

He also shared that they will conduct a screen test when the hiring process begins. “I know one actor in particular who’s a pretty big star that wants to be Batman. We’ve talked about it, but I’m not sure that’s the case.”

The host also mentioned that fans have noticed Gunn being a fan of the popular show, 1923, which features Brandon Sklenar, a fan-favorite to play Batman. To this, Gunn responded, “Okay, I see what you’re doing. 1923, it’s a really good TV show, like I can’t believe how good that show was.”

The filmmaker also gave an update regarding the script of the Brave and the Bold movie, saying, “The script isn’t done, I mean, I’ve got somebody writing a script, I think it’s really good. But it isn’t finished yet.”
