Next Batman odds – ‘Two-horse race’ for The Brave and the Bold movie | Films | Entertainment

Believe it or not, there are currently three actors playing Batman in DC movies at the moment. This summer, Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck will be reprising their Bruce Waynes in multiverse movie The Flash. Meanwhile, in another reality, Robert Pattinson is returning as the Dark Knight in The Batman – Part II, set for release on October 3, 2025. If that wasn’t enough, Warner Bros are set to cast yet another incarnation of the Caped Crusader to be the Batman of the newly rebooted DCU franchise, overseen by The Suicide Squad’s James Gunn.

The DCU will be the main shared universe for DC characters on film and TV going forwards, set in a different reality to the worlds of The Flash and The Batman. This new Caped Crusader will star in The Brave and the Bold, which is described by Gunn as “a very strange father and son story”.

It’s a Batman and Robin movie with Bruce Wayne’s murderous son Damian – who he didn’t know existed – taking the mantle of his sidekick. With a new Dark Knight needed for the upcoming film there are two Hollywood A-listers currently leading the favourites in the bookies’ odds at 4-1.
