The Brave and the Bold

Legendary comic creative person Todd McFarlane offers his own competitor for theDCU’sBatmaninThe Brave and the Bold . presently , one of the biggest whodunit skirt James Gunn ’s DC Universe is the cast behind the rest of the Justice League . David Corenswet will likely become the side of the whole DCU as presently asJames Gunn’sSupermanhits theaters in July 2025 . However , central DCU type like Wonder Woman , the Flash , and Aquaman are yet to be disgorge . Batman ’s DCU histrion , in particular , is the subject of wild speculation .

I ’m not heavy at Hollywood epithet , but there ’s an thespian I care . He might be too old , but he was Spock in the Star Trek movies , and he was in Margin Call . [ Zachary Quinto ] , that ’s the name . I ’ve run across him in shows where he can be somber - and I ’m not verbalise Spock somber , I ’m mouth about how there ’s a seriousness to a caboodle of characters he ’s done . I think Batman needs that personality because Batman , to me , is a guy cable that ’s so focused .

Here ’s who Batman is to me , which why I like him and think he ’s the coolest : he come in home to all his money , but he does n’t give a s – t about the money . It ’s like , " What do you care about ? " He just goes home , sits there , and then at 2 o’clock in the morning , he gets out the black costume .

I oddly get that guy . He just does n’t wish yobo , and I have no longanimity in my life for roughneck . And he ’s just die , " I ’m not extend to be afraid . I ’m going to get them to be afraid of me . " I like that . Superman and Spider - Man just want to gain the day , but I get a sense that on his good twenty-four hour period , Batman goes , " I need to win , and I want them to be afraid . "

And I ’ll be Old Man Batman !

What Todd McFarlane’s DCU Batman Casting Choice Means

Zachary Quinto Would Be An Inspired Casting Choice For Batman

As Todd McFarlane states , Zacgary Quinto has a natural talent for playing serious persona . Quinto excellently play the ever - stoic Spock in J.J. Abrams’Star Trekmovies . Besides Spock , Quinto possesses plenty of experience in the sci - fi genre , with standout performances in shows such asNOS4A2 , where he played the soul - eating supernatural villain Charlie Manx ; and in American Horror Story : Asylum , where he flirt the charismatic yet bloodthirsty in series killer Bloody Face . Zachary Quinto also have it off the superhero music genre at first hand , as he played the ruthless supervillain Sylar inHeroesand currently sound DC ’s own Lex Luthor in theHarley Quinnanimated show .

The DCEU had everything it involve to adapt an iconic Batman villain storyline that now seems unlikely to happen , even in James Gunn ’s DCU .

At 47 geezerhood old , Zachary Quinto is five year honest-to-goodness than Ben Affleck was when he was draw as the DCEU ’s Dark Knight in Zack Snyder’sBatman v Superman : Dawn of Justice . The DCU ’s Batman certainly wo n’t be a novice version of the heroconsidering he ’ll mentor his Logos Damian Wayne . However , this new Batman likely wo n’t be portrayed as a seasoned Caped Crusader either . While Zachary Quinto could be an excellent choice for Batman , DC Studios might be looking for a Batman histrion the same age as David Corenswet .
