Thescreescore – The chances of Chris Pratt donning the cape and cowl in James Gunn’s DC Universe are addressed. Following the announcement of David Corenswet as Superman, the reimagining of the Justice League continues, with The Brave and the Bold—a Batman-centric film—at the forefront of Chapter 1: "Gods and Monsters." Speculation surrounding the casting of the next Dark Knight has been rampant, with many wondering if Gunn would tap his Guardians of the Galaxy star.
In a recent interview with PelucheEn ElEstuche, Gunn definitively answered the burning question: "As Batman? No. As something else? Yes." This cryptic response leaves the door open for Pratt’s inclusion in the DCU, albeit not as Bruce Wayne. Andy Muschietti is set to direct The Brave and the Bold, though a release date and screenwriter remain undisclosed.
While Pratt’s close working relationship with Gunn makes a DCU role seem likely, his suitability for Batman is widely debated. The casting process is yet to begin, and the choice could go to an A-lister or a relatively unknown actor. Gunn’s history of utilizing familiar collaborators suggests that if a suitable role emerges for Pratt, the casting is merely a matter of time.

Many believe Pratt’s current commitment to the MCU might preclude a Batman role until his Marvel tenure concludes. However, the vast DC roster offers numerous alternative characters perfectly suited to Pratt’s talents, potentially a role vastly different from his Star-Lord persona.
The mystery surrounding the next Batman remains, with fans eagerly awaiting the completion of The Brave and the Bold‘s script, which will undoubtedly kickstart the casting search. Until then, the speculation will continue, fueling the excitement surrounding Gunn’s ambitious vision for the DC Universe. The Brave and the Bold will introduce a new Batman, alongside his son Damian Wayne as Robin, marking yet another reboot for the iconic character.
