Legendary comic artist Todd McFarlane offers his own contender for theDCU’sBatmaninThe Brave and the Bold.

David Corenswet will likely become the face of the whole DCU as soon asJames Gunn’sSupermanhits theaters in July 2025.

However, key DCU characters like Wonder Woman, the Flash, and Aquaman are yet to be cast.

Batman’s DCU actor, in particular, is the subject of wild speculation.

I’m not great at Hollywood names, but there’s an actor I like.

[Zachary Quinto], that’s the name.

I think Batman needs that personality because Batman, to me, is a guy that’s so focused.

It’s like, “What do you care about?”

I oddly get that guy.

He just doesn’t like bullies, and I have no patience in my life for bullies.

And he’s just going, “I’m not going to be afraid.

I’m going to get them to be afraid of me.”

And I’ll be Old Man Batman!

Quinto famously played the ever-stoic Spock in J.J. Abrams’Star Trekmovies.

However, this new Batman likely won’t be portrayed as a seasoned Caped Crusader either.
