The brand-new DC Universe is about to truly begin with James Gunn's Superman, and there are so many iconic moments I'm really looking forward to seeing on the big screen.

I think that one of DCU’s most popular choices for Batman in Batman: The Brave and the Boldwould be better suited to a different character, whom he had already played decades previously. Few debates are more heated than who should don the cowl of Batman. As James Gunn and Peter Safran reboot the DCU, a tidal wave of fan theories and suggestions have proliferated online.

Batman will enter the new DC Universe with the release of The Brave and the Bold, but I'm worried that the best possible fan-cast for the popular character may not be able to play the role after some recent news. While The Brave and the Bold does not yet have a release date, anticipation is high for the film, which is still set to be directed by Andy Muschietti. With recent updates suggesting that the Robert Pattinson-starring The Batman sequel might face additional delays, I've begun to wonder if The Brave and the Bold will take higher priority.
