Aaron Taylor-Johnson, known for his roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and other superhero franchises, is rumored to be taking on the iconic role of Batman in James Gunn's DC Universe. The fan art depicting Taylor-Johnson as Batman for The Brave and the Bold movie has garnered significant attention.
Following Ben Affleck's portrayal of Bruce Wayne in the DCEU, a new actor is set to don the cape and cowl for the rebooted Batman in the DCU. At 33 years old, Taylor-Johnson is being considered a strong candidate for the role, given his age proximity to the DCU's Superman, David Corenswet.
The fan art showcases Taylor-Johnson in a sleek Batsuit, embodying the essence of the Dark Knight. With his experience in superhero movies, including roles in Kick-Ass and the MCU, Taylor-Johnson has demonstrated his ability to bring comic book characters to life.
Aside from his superhero movie credits, Taylor-Johnson's diverse acting career, which includes films like Bullet Train, Tenet, and Nocturnal Animals, positions him as a versatile actor capable of portraying both the playboy billionaire Bruce Wayne and the formidable Batman.
While casting for The Brave and the Bold's Batman is yet to commence, Taylor-Johnson's rumored involvement has generated excitement among fans. The movie, set to be the first Batman film in Gunn and Safran's DC Universe, will introduce Damian Wayne, Bruce Wayne's son, and draw inspiration from Grant Morrison's comic book work.
As Taylor-Johnson's potential involvement in the DCU continues to be a topic of discussion, fans eagerly await further updates on the casting and development of The Brave and the Bold movie.
