Thescreescore – James Gunn’s DC Universe reboot is shaping up to be a blockbuster event, and the casting of its next Batman is proving to be just as captivating as the films themselves. In a recent interview with The Ringer-Verse, Gunn dropped a major bombshell: he’s in talks with a "pretty big star" who’s eager to don the cape and cowl. While remaining tight-lipped about specifics, Gunn confirmed that he has a shortlist of actors in mind, emphasizing that the selection process will be rigorous, involving screen tests and a thorough evaluation. He playfully dismissed the idea of a simple, "Sylvester Stallone-esque" casting, suggesting a more nuanced approach is in order. This news follows previous updates on The Brave and the Bold script, which Gunn confirmed is still under development but progressing well. The film, a crucial component of the DCU’s Chapter 1: "Gods and Monsters," will introduce a new Batman and his son, Damian Wayne, in a fresh take on the iconic character. The identity of the mystery star remains shrouded in secrecy, fueling speculation among fans. While Alan Ritchson’s recent comments about discussions with Gunn have sparked rumors, the possibilities remain vast, promising a thrilling reveal in due course. The hunt for the next Batman is far from over, but Gunn’s comments offer a tantalizing glimpse into the exciting developments to come. The anticipation is palpable; who will be the next Dark Knight to grace the big screen?
