The DCAU (Animated Universe) of films is a great example of how to create a narrative universe. Its portrayal of the DC characters is fantastic. Batman is near perfect in that, and I want to see THAT version in live action.
☆Yes☆ I couldn't have said it better For the most part, the DC animated universe and movies are the ultimate realization of this source material Personally, over the years, I have enjoyed a couple of the live action movies - but I don't believe they're ever gonna capture the essence of these characters
They went noname because Henry Cavell was too expensive, likely Alan Ritchson is beyond their budget too as they know this crap will flop. But Alan is too large for Superman - Hulk maybe lol
Dick is my favorite but I would love to see a live action Tim. Solid second favorite. Can’t argue that even though Tim isn’t my favorite, he is still the best and most balanced Robin.
Alan richson is incredible but got way too big. They’d have to use too much cgi for him and would fall into the dcu’s major failure. Their cgi. He’s the pinnacle of what Reacher is. No diss. But him running to the helicopter in the season 2 finale shows his lack of agility and swift movement. I’m hopeful for Gunn’s revitalization of the DCU. This could be just incredibly cinematic. Respect the characters and visuals. It’s a gold mine. Some of the best characters. I really hope for Superman it’s not this entire movie of just people getting thrown through buildings when it doesn’t mean anything with consequence.
He would be perfect. Already has his attitude, wouldnt need to alter his voice. Batman is 6' 2" cannon, Alan is 6' 3" Batman is a big dude, Alan is a big dude. Wouldn't need CGI to alter his suit or physique. Alan is perfect and a great replacement for Afflek
In Cannon, Bruce Wayne is two years older than Clark Kent. If Superman is 30 years old n Legacy, then Bruce Wayne should only be 32. Since this movie doesn’t come out for another 3 to 4 years, the actor that will be cast to play Bruce Wayne is more than likely right now, only 28 or 29 years old.
Chris, kinda funny but alot of us oldschool(genX) comic fans treat Superman as being a young SUperman in the Bronze era . You know the corny 1950's. And because he doesn't age he still looks 25.. Where Batman is actually 31-35 in avg storyline since he needed 12 years to train and become JLA Batman. Canon is what you make it when it comes to old properties like DC & Star Wars etc.
I feel like Matt reeves Batman will dope but I’m more interested in what Gunn will do because it will be diff. Batman is usually done in a way how can we make it closer to real life and that works great for Batman but I think Gunn will lean more in to the comic feel. I guess will see. 🤷🏼♂️
Yes he will lean into the comic feel. I’m pretty sure he said that too if I’m not mistaken so prepare for killer croc/poison Ivey etc type of character to be included
I’d like Jensen to play Batman. Jake Gyllenhaal sucks and Alan is way too big. But Alan could play the big Damien Wayne clone the Heretic. That’d be awesome.
Already love it.. Damian is the best Robin. Gunn is listening to core Bat family fans.. including Young Justice.. Great source material. Superman son Johnathan making an appearance is great marketing..
Terry mcginish is just the Robin version of batman and Damien Wayne is just the batman version of Robin this would be a role reversal if you think about it
Awesome review! I like and agree. Like many others, I like Alan Ritchson and Jensen Ackles as Batman. Now the question is, can these guys pull off the requirements suggested in this video?
I think as long as the ‘Bat family’ isn’t in this universe, it has a chance. Robin as a character only works in the context of the 60’s tv show, the rest of the time, him, nightwing, batgirl etc, are just surplus to requirements & actually undermine & contradict the whole concept of Batman. Damian if introduced, will just end up being the Scrappy Doo of these movies
Victor Aguilar was heart of The Penguin. Did you ever think of that? Penguin having a sidekick in this grounded universe?? If that worked why can't Robin
You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. If you read the comics you would understand what the Bat family relationship is and how it generates incredible dynamics.
“Batman - The Brave and the Bold or Shame and it’s Old.” When you have such a gap in waiting for delivering actual movies for Batman and Superman, all you have is talk, talk, and daydreaming of stories and plots that will never satisfy everyone or anyone entirely. Batman shown in the new DC movie universe as the perfect fighter beyond Bruce Lee/Ninjas, the brains of the top scientist super heroes, and his sidekick son as being the new evolved male-hit girl is like just watching another $70 idea game. Fleshing out all the built up comic book fantasies in 2025 in a 2 1/2 hr movie after all the past failures after the end of Nolan’s Dark Knight saga, in just one movie is asking a bit much. And I liked Guardians of Galaxy 3, but again remember it took three movies to get there, and no one is demanding to watch a Guardians of Galaxy universe, even though it ended well with a new team at the end. Guardians 3 does not represent all of MCU, and Brave and the Bold comic is a team-up comic of Batman and other guest star DC heroes. Batman has been onscreen on TV and movies since the 60’s. They have had decades and decades to introduce his villains and classic stories to be live action filmed since then, such as Hush, Long Halloween, Owlman, Killing Joke, etc. and now they could only do it by animation, which many times seemed so dated to when you actually read it decades ago. And then you have writing liberties of adding or changing the canon plot line by having Batman sleep with Batgirl it just offends and slaps fans in the faces as well as turns off new fans and audiences. James Gunn has a tall order here, but canceling all DC media projects such as the shows and animation is sheer ignorance, laziness, ego, and fan disrespect. That’s what lost a lot of comic fans up to now as well as generational fans that were won during the Michael Keaton-Tim Burton years and the losing thousands again after Nolan-Dark Knight era. Just like the battle during the 80’s with Michael J vs. Prince, if you compare the MCU vs. DCU today, you don’t have to ask anyone off the street, as there will always be more excitement with the newest MCU movie, because Feige honors and characters form the comics as well as all actors with more respect than the average DC superhero Icon as well as the actors and actresses attached to them. If you picked any of the central 7 DC core superheroes and move downward, there is never ending disrespect to the stories (canon), the characters and the actors & actresses that helps to make them relevant again and revered. It’s all about hate versus love. And DCU CEO’s and Warner Brothers ruined it for the next decade onwards.
They all look like they’re gonna be animated series? Or animated films? Why would they cancel this angle of the Batman universe when it’s the best thing to happen to DC in 20 years
Nope! It's Ruas. It's a tomato tomAto thing. "Clarified" rotf hahahaha. The good news is you are free to say it how you wish. Kinda like King "Ghidorah" some people(ii dunno why) they call him King "Geedrah"
What the actual fu... So many good stories. To hell with that... Let's ignore the fans and indulge our non comic book fan needs and ruin it for newcomers
This is too mainstream, safe and soapy. I would rather see Bane break Batman back, have Azrael take the Batman cowl and have Bruce Wayne come back tl take it's place
Just more of the SAME OLD, SAME OLD, how about something different! Where's the NEW GODS? That's a storyline that is just dying to be brought to the big screen!
I am going to pass on this movie. zero interest it is stirring up for me. i sense it won't save anything for the DCEU or whatever they are calling it now.
Batman should work alone. He should be mysterious and frightening, not the leader of a group of juvenile crime fighters! The whole Robin concept was intended to soften Batman’s image for children. Is this a kids movie???
I will never understand why content creators still rely on these AI voices at their current technology as it is subpar, laughable, and unable to keep my interest. What's worse is you managed to turn my perspective on the new movie from cautiously optimistic to " they are all going to be shit and we are doomed to suffer the DC curse". Sadly, it's becoming painfully obvious that the DC Heroes will never be portrayed as they should and that is not Justice
Bro what could he ruin? The Rock thinking he was running things? Zack Snyder making complete dogshit movies? Aquaman basically being a huge douche bro? Gal Gadot not knowing how to act? Ezra Miller...well just being Ezra Miller... Seriously there was nothing good happening at dc until Gunnade his SS movie and the Peacemaker show.
These are the DC projects that real fans have been waiting for, ever since they announced the dceu. No matter how good or bad this next set of films and series', could never be as bad as the mess that Snyder made..
"I don't like" bruh who are you why your liking would matter anything? Fans want Superman and other characters to return to their old glory, not someone who will just look good aesthetically but someone who will deliver a good movie which was lacking. We vouch for the character not just an individual actor or director, we want the character to succeed for years to come. If you don't want that, if you want those characters to fail, dc to fail, then fair enough you don't belong to our dc fandom anymore and can happily leave and stay away from anything dc. What you like or not doesn't matter if you aren't part of the family
Brrrrk. Hit the breaks. Right off the bat you are lying. Either that or you didn’t do any research. The bat family was in Batman Forever. Then we had Batman and Robin. Both live action. Rebuttal?
Might as well let AI make it so at least we can have some laughs. Yo why no background checks for millionares??? Yall know gunn is a predator right??? Oh thats a qualification to work for WB. Oh damn. Ok. Well fuck me then.

Personally, over the years, I have enjoyed a couple of the live action movies - but I don't believe they're ever gonna capture the essence of these characters
I especially the flashpoint universe, those are the best movies. I would love to see things like Hush and Batman Vs Robin
Dick Grayson will always be my favorite Robin
That superman suit looks atrocious
They always wanna do the most
Just like the movie is going to be.
It’s disgusting
I'm just surprised he's not wearing a rainbow cape, yet!
TOTALLY AGREE 😡
Jensen Ackles would be my first pick, 'nuff said 🐸💚
Alan Ritchson all day long for Batman
They went noname because Henry Cavell was too expensive, likely Alan Ritchson is beyond their budget too as they know this crap will flop. But Alan is too large for Superman - Hulk maybe lol
Finally,a live action Damien Wayne.
Lexa Doig did a good version of Talia in Arrow...
who told gunn than damian wayne was the favourite robin ??? ill take tim drake over him smh
Dick is my favorite but I would love to see a live action Tim. Solid second favorite. Can’t argue that even though Tim isn’t my favorite, he is still the best and most balanced Robin.
Absolutely agree, id much rather see Tim.

Batman should battle against the Terrible Trio. The Fox, the Shark and the Vulture.
Only a couple of years older than Superman. Wasn't Bruce born in 1939?😂
You okay? That was comics Bruce. You can't say Battinson or Batfleck was born in 1939 can you? They're set in modern world
@_sayandas He can be old and still can fight.
@_sayandas 🤣🤣🤣
Yea cuz every Batman we seen in comics or film he was born in 1939. 😂
Jensen ankles batman all the way after all he voiced him in animated movies
Great analysis and love the suggestions

TA-LEE-AH!!!!
Robin should get a Robin utility belt from Batman & Alfred.
Jensen for the win!
Also im hoping we see the Court of Owls on the big screen sometime too.
Wait where's Dick Grayson
I CANT WAIT! THE D.C.U!! ITS BACK BABY!! DAMION IS A BADASS!! JAMES GUNN IS GOING TO ROCK IT! TAKE MY MONEY NOW!!
I feel like Matt reeves Batman will dope but I’m more interested in what Gunn will do because it will be diff. Batman is usually done in a way how can we make it closer to real life and that works great for Batman but I think Gunn will lean more in to the comic feel. I guess will see. 🤷🏼♂️

I’d like Jensen to play Batman. Jake Gyllenhaal sucks and Alan is way too big. But Alan could play the big Damien Wayne clone the Heretic. That’d be awesome.
I’d love to see Alan as Deathstroke
Way too big? Ever saw atleast Batman comic art?
Jensen Exkles would be Good
Dick Grayson is the REAL Robin!!! I will never accept another.
Grayson WAS the best Robin.We should let him be,as hes retired as a Robin(Batman’s partner) & Batman needs a partner,always.
Doubt James Gunn cares about what YOU want, but we can only hope that's so.
Kane's Parents and Kane and wifey KEKE remember this and waiting for the others 😅
Already love it.. Damian is the best Robin. Gunn is listening to core Bat family fans.. including Young Justice.. Great source material. Superman son Johnathan making an appearance is great marketing..
Your a genius I want all of that but it would be pretty cool if Damien Wayne's Robin eventually teamed up with Terry McGinnises batman
Nightwing, should be in the waiting..soon.
Terry mcginish is just the Robin version of batman and Damien Wayne is just the batman version of Robin this would be a role reversal if you think about it
Doomsday did not kill Superman, but James Gunn will

Victor Aguilar was heart of The Penguin. Did you ever think of that? Penguin having a sidekick in this grounded universe?? If that worked why can't Robin
Gtfoh fake fan. You hate Batmans mythos

I'd rather watch reruns of Adam West & Burt Ward than Gunn's hot garbage.
Agreed. The Flash was incredibly forgettable & Gunn is a Feige 0.3
Well, Mr. terrific is gonna be in the movie as well. He’s in the damn background. 2:10
If they make Jake Batman, I'm out.
Marvel lost me i hope dc can pull this off its looking good under gunn
Not interested in James Gunns DC excited for Matt Reeves Batman 2
Sounds Dope.
Awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
I don't know. Besides your Batman's and Henry C. Superman, DC seems they can't get it going like the MCU.
Jensen for the Cape Crusader.
jensen ackles batman
Our favorite robin?! SIKE
The thumbnail just showed me a male A on robin
Did you say Robin was inspired by Hit girl?
I hate AI
They all look like they’re gonna be animated series? Or animated films?
Why would they cancel this angle of the Batman universe when it’s the best thing to happen to DC in 20 years
15:24 And they were worried about Conservatives boycotting!!! 😅😅😅😅 🤦🏿♂️Good Grief.... 🤷🏿♂️They sure measured that one wrong, eh?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
See the above comment couldn't have said it better myself
Raysh, not Raws.
It's been clarified for over a decade.
Neither. It's "Raas". Duh he's Asian that would be the obvious pronounciation why tf should he be called "Raysh" like some New York dude
Nope! It's Ruas.
It's a tomato tomAto thing.
"Clarified" rotf hahahaha.
The good news is you are free to say it how you wish.
Kinda like King "Ghidorah"
some people(ii dunno why) they call him
King "Geedrah"
James Gunn … not interested…
He's like a baby with a new toy ... he's going to slobber all over and bite the head off the whole movie production line... DCEU will go to poo poo
Good bye!
@@geekassets6479 you forgot to add the salt shakers… 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you can get better cast then Zack crew. Stop making movies
What the actual fu... So many good stories. To hell with that... Let's ignore the fans and indulge our non comic book fan needs and ruin it for newcomers
Matt Reeves Batman is crappycrap in every single way.
why have batman just work whit robin why not a small group of heroes kinda like superman did on his show?
This is too mainstream, safe and soapy. I would rather see Bane break Batman back, have Azrael take the Batman cowl and have Bruce Wayne come back tl take it's place
Scott Adkins damnit.
Finally someone got it right! Excellent choice.
I agree he’s perfect
Just more of the SAME OLD, SAME OLD, how about something different!
Where's the NEW GODS? That's a storyline that is just dying to be brought to the big screen!
It will be the New Frauds
Nothing here. No one cares about Gunn's crap. WB is never going to get it right.
It's appropriate... His last name... Shooting a legendary comic in its live form to literal sh🤫t
Good bye fool
I like the regular Alfred Pennyworth. No combat skills. Bald, slim with pencil moustache.
I am going to pass on this movie. zero interest it is stirring up for me. i sense it won't save anything for the DCEU or whatever they are calling it now.
Batman should work alone. He should be mysterious and frightening, not the leader of a group of juvenile crime fighters! The whole Robin concept was intended to soften Batman’s image for children. Is this a kids movie???
A movie on Robin would be great, he kicked nightwings ass in something I saw after leaving his mother who trained him for years in that temple
i'll cast my vbote on a Robin movie right now= no.
DickGraysons movie "Grayson" woulda been awesome.
I still watch that trailer every year or two..

Ezra Miller...well just being Ezra Miller... Seriously there was nothing good happening at dc until Gunnade his SS movie and the Peacemaker show.
Oh no he hasn't... He's just getting started my friend, give him time & he actually will though
Moron he has not even released on project yet. Negative jackass. Go away.
This will be more Hollyweird trash.
Allll Flops. Mark my words. I dont like any of these ideas.
