The DC Universe hasn’t found its Batman yet, but fans of the Caped Crusader already have one actor in mind, and he almost played Batman not long ago. After the DC Extended Universe failed to build a consistent world of characters from DC Comics, Warner Bros. decided to reboot it with the DC Universe, led by James Gunn and Peter Safran. Despite keeping some characters from the DCEU, most notably Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller, the DC Universe will introduce new characters and new versions of some of DC Comics’ most beloved characters, including Batman.
