While this statement shows pretty emphatically that no casting has been done yet for “Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” fans will have more than their fair share of The Caped Crusader as new DC movies continue to come down the pipeline.
From Matt Reeves’ “The Batman Part 2” to “Joker: Folie a Deux,” there is no shortage of upcoming Batman-related stories before “Batman: The Brave and the Bold” finally arrives. However, even with that in mind, the DCU film will at least take a different tack from the many other iterations we’ve seen of The Dark Knight thus far.
As the casting rumor above correctly mentions, Damian Wayne has been confirmed to be a part of “Batman: The Brave and the Bold.” For those who are unfamiliar with the character, Damian is Batman’s son with love interest and villain Talia al Ghul. Raised as a part of the League of Shadows, his relationship with his father is troubled at best and chaotic at worst.
Considering how many times we’ve seen the character of Robin as a plucky sidekick, this new take on the character will undoubtedly help to shake up fans’ perception of Batman’s second-in-command. Heck, they could even make the character cool on the big screen for once. Still, don’t automatically assume Javon Walton of “Euphoria” and “The Umbrella Academy” will take on the role. Though, to be fair, the actor does have a serious boxing background, and as fans know, Damian Wayne loves throwing hands.
