Okay, so the buzz about who’s going to play Batman in the new DCU is getting intense. I’ve been following it closely, and now actor and model Paul Anthony Kelly has actually spoken out about the rumors that he might be taking on the role of Bruce Wayne. It’s exciting to see who’s potentially in the running!
Paul Anthony Kelly is ready to be DCU’s Batman
Rumors started circulating earlier this month that Keri Russell might be up for a role in a DC movie. The gossip site Deuxmoi reported she was being looked at for a part, and fans quickly guessed it could be Batman in the upcoming film The Brave and the Bold. This speculation arose after ScreenRant covered the initial report, though nothing has been officially confirmed. The movie is part of the new direction DC Studios is taking with its cinematic universe.
Paul Anthony Kelly recently told GQ that he’s open to playing Batman in the new DC Universe. When asked about the fan campaign hoping he’d get the role, he said he wouldn’t object, calling it a ‘dream come true.’
Many fans are excited about the possibility of Paul Anthony Kelly playing Batman, believing his strong features and sophisticated look would be perfect for Bruce Wayne. Kelly himself has mostly stayed quiet on social media, not commenting on the online discussion. As of today, neither James Gunn nor DC Studios has officially confirmed or denied these reports.
Development on The Brave and the Bold began in early 2023, when DC Studios first announced its plans as part of the ‘Gods and Monsters’ slate. This film will introduce a new version of Batman for the DC Universe (DCU), and it’s separate from the ongoing story with Robert Pattinson’s Batman, which exists in its own, independent world directed by Matt Reeves.
James Gunn announced the project and hinted at who will play Batman in the new DC Universe (DCU), according to Comic Book Movie. While the casting isn’t official yet, actor Jensen Ackles has expressed interest in the role, giving fans someone to support as DC Studios searches for its next Batman.
