A Request To James Gunn For Casting The Skarsgard Brothers As DCU's Batman And Joker!

Imagine Alexander Skarsgard's Batman, mixing shadows with smiles, and Bill Skarsgard's terrifying yet hilarious Joker under Andy Muschietti's direction. James Gunn, this could be the DCU's dream team! Please make it happen? Pretty please?

So Batman: The Brave And The Bold #9 casually included the most emotionally devastating short I've ever seen and I'm just gonna leave a few panels here because I need you all to suffer with me. To make things clearer, Alfred narrates this whole story.

Okay sooo what if I kms. What then.

Just a quick Batman sketch

[wanderingmind867]

Batman had The Brave and The Bold for Team-ups. Superman had DC Comics Presents and briefly he had World's Finest for Team-Ups too. On the Marvel side of things, there was Marvel Team-up (which starred Spider-Man as our team-up lead), and Marvel Two-In-One (which starred The Thing). I can only imagine what DC and Marvel could have done if they'd chosen to do a third team-up book, and what hero could lead that book. So I'm going to do a poll on it, just because i'm curious. I'll give options of some of my favorite characters from DC and/or Marvel (or just characters that I think would make for a great leads in team up settings), and then i'll let you vote on it. Just because I want to see who would win these polls. I'll start with DC first, I guess.

And since I can only do one poll per post, i'll save the marvel one for afterwards. I already have some good options in mind for a Marvel one. Possibly more even than for this one.

Y’know, if they give Batman a Robin (Dick Grayson specifically for obvious reasons), they’ll never be able to have him become Nightwing without Superman existing within that universe because of where the name Nightwing comes from. Like yeah sure you could have a stupid fucking thing where he goes “ah yes I was Robin (wing) and I work in the evening times (night) therefore I shall be Nightwing” in which case you’ll hear collective boos from every since Grayson fan in the world, but I seriously wonder how Gunn and DC/WB plans to get away with Batman not being in the same universe as the rest of the new DCCU.

I’m also saying all of this on the assumption they plan to keep this new DCCU around, it could all be scrapped and redone Crisis style (I would murder if they do another CoIE) and we get right back to square one.

How I’d introduce the Batfamily into the DCU

(This isn’t based on anything, this is my own imagination. I’m not up to date on all the DCU news)

1) The Brave and the Bold (2026)

* Direct follow-up to Superman (2025)

* Clark Kent and Lois Lane learn that kryptonite is being smuggled on the black market. In order to find the source, they follow a lead that takes them to Gotham City.

* Batman has already been established BUT he’s been retired for 3 years.

* The movie is a buddy cop centered on Clark pulling Bruce Wayne out of retirement since he needs help in finding the kryptonite smuggler. The thing is, Bruce is incredibly depressed and has lost his interest in crime-fighting when Clark first meets him. The reason why he is depressed is his character arc in the movie.

* Dynamic: Young, still kind of a rookie Superman working with a veteran, jaded Batman (but not DCEU levels of jaded, he’s more just cranky and sad like Worst Wolverine in Deadpool and Wolverine)

* The reason why Bruce quit being Batman is that his sidekick Robin - Jason Todd - was killed by Joker. Bruce also mentions that his first Robin, Dick Grayson, walked out on him and is now operating as Nightwing in Blüdhaven. There’s also Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl, who checks in on Bruce from time to time. She’s semi-retired from being Batgirl, mainly because she’s also dealing with Jason’s death.

* The kryptonite smuggler and the main villain of the movie turns out to be John Corben / Metallo. He gets beat by Supes and Bats and is sent to prison.

* By the end of the movie, thanks to Superman, Bruce has regained his spark and resumes being Batman full-time. He and Clark become close friends and Bruce gives Clark one of his Bat-Pagers/Bat-Phones if he ever needs his help in the future.

* Post-credit scene: Some kind of Justice League tease

2) Nightwing (2026)

* Nightwing solo movie. We follow Dick during one of his adventures in Bludhaven.

* Barbara Gordon is the deuteragonist.

* Tim Drake is the tritagonist. Tim isn’t Robin yet at this point in the timeline.

* Post-credits: Nightwing decides to return to Gotham in order to hunt down a vigilante known as “Red Hood”.

3) Batman: Under the Red Hood (2027)

* Takes place a few months after “The Brave and the Bold” and “Nightwing”.

* Batman has fully resumed active duty. He is joined by Tim, Batgirl and Nightwing. Nightwing says he’s only in Gotham for the Red Hood and that he’s uninterested in going back to being Robin. That being said, he tells Bruce that he should consider enlisting Tim Drake.

* Red Hood is hunting down the remnants of the Joker gang. He attacks one of their hideouts, knowing full well that the Joker gang members were meeting with Roman Sionis’ gang. Red Hood, viewing everyone inside as a legitimate target, just opens fire. Roman, aka Black Mask, becomes the primary villain of the movie since he wants revenge for what Red Hood did to his minions.

* Plot twist: Red Hood is revealed to be Jason Todd (whoa, bruh, betcha didn’t see that coming!)

* Black Mask puts a hit out on Red Hood as payback for his murdered minions. The Bat gang has to take down both Black Mask since he’s a crime lord who is out for blood and Red Hood since he’s a loose cannon serial killer.

* Black Mask is taken down by the Bat Gang. However, just as Bruce is telling Roman that he should be grateful that he caught him instead of Red Hood, Roman is shot by Jason Todd. Because of this, Jason becomes the primary villain for the last act of the movie.

* Finale is Batman vs. Red Hood. Bruce refuses to fight Jason and only reacts in self-defense. The fight eventually ends in a heart-to-heart in which Jason goes into a rant about how he’s still dealing with the trauma of the Joker incident. Bruce, despite feeling sorry for Jason, says he has to turn him in since he’s killed so many people. Jason says, “Sorry Bruce, prison’s not for me”, then throws a smoke grenade and makes his escape.

* Movie ends with Nightwing returning to Bludhaven (but on better terms with Bruce), Tim Drake becoming the new Robin, Barbara Gordon saying she’ll commit more time in being Batgirl, and Red Hood going after criminals in a different city.

* Post-credits: An imprisoned Joker learns his new therapist is Dr. Harleen Quinzel.

I think it's basically safe to say that this is probably gonna be our DCU Bat-Family for the Brave and the Bold and other projects.

[but-a-humble-goon]

Anyone else remember that one holiday issue of the Batman: The Brave and the Bold tie-in comic where Bruce is straight up like "I'm so tired of saving Christmas. It's every damn year and it's getting old. You know what screw this, I'm saving Hanukkah this year."

✨ Axel's Ultimate Animated Batman Watch Guide and Reviews

So, as many of you know, over the last five-ish months, I have made it my duty and responsibility to watch every single modern animated Batman series, and then to subsequently rate and review them, because most people do not have the patience (or levels of autism) that I do to force themselves through thirty years of mostly children's animation and don't know what to watch. So if you're just starting out in the Bat fandom or you're just looking for recommendations, you've come to the right place! Each series will be rated, described, and given some notes based off my own personal viewing experience along with a list of my favorite episodes. Additionally, I also formatted each series as its own image, both for easy reading and for easy saving to your device!

Claudia Doumit as Talia Al Ghul is my #1 fancast for the DCU.

Like if this actually happens I'm gonna lose my shit (in a good way)

[ungodlybliss]

rose wilson if she was in batman the brave and the bold or soemthing lol

[transmasculinizing]

ok so looking at the direction james gunn dcu superman movie is going in i hope all the moves r simular in tone. i hope the batman movies picks a really comic booky antagonist (my recommendations: manbat, clayface, ivy, solomon grundy, killer croc) and dont make them more realistic or any of that shit theres aliens in this universe.

look we already got battinson for more grounded realistic batman and im pretty sure the batman 2 and james gunn batman r releasing the same year so theres no point in making them simular tonally. the dcu batman can focus on some of the more fantastical members of batmans rogues gallery and battinson can do the more realistic ones
